Size

When selecting the ideal bed for your child, there are a lot of things to consider. To make the best cots decision you should consider safety and style, cost, and size. The most popular dimensions for cots are 140cm by 70cm, but this can vary between brands so be sure to verify before purchasing. Also, you should take into consideration the age range in which a cot is suitable. This will help you decide if it is time you should upgrade your child to a single bed or toddler bed once they are ready.

A cot bed is a more versatile option, since it will last longer than a standard cot and can be converted into a toddler bed or a single bed when your baby is ready. This will make the transition easier for both you and your child and will save you money in the long run.

Cot beds are available in many different sizes, shapes and finishes. It is important to select the right one for your nursery. Find a model that fits the space, and keep in mind that a majority of cots have removable sides to allow your child to play with toys or curl in the bed. If your nursery has limited space, you should consider a smaller cot that has curving edges.

Contact family and friends who have children if you're uncertain of the ideal model for your nursery. They'll be able to provide invaluable information on their experiences with various models and provide recommendations based on personal experience. You can also read online reviews to gain a better understanding of how other parents found the cot bed they've purchased.

Cot beds are available in a variety of materials including pine, which is the most well-known. This is a softwood, which means it is more prone to dent and scratches, however, it's also renewable and extremely sturdy. Other options include birch beech and oak, which are hard woods with greater resistance to wear and tear. Some cots are also constructed from engineered wood which is a combination of plywood or MDF with a veneer of wood to give an even more durable finish.

Safety

To ensure that babies are sleeping in a safe and secure environment, cots and cots-beds must meet the latest standards for safety and health. They must also have no sharp edges and the distance between bars should not exceed 6.5cm. This will stop infants from climbing over or becoming trapped between the bars. Also, they shouldn't use them as a ladder. If you are buying an heirloom or second-hand crib, it is crucial to ensure that it is in compliance to current safety standards and has been thoroughly cleaned. Older cots might have been painted with lead paint, which poses an enigma for children.

A good quality cot will be simple to put together, with clear instructions and a small amount of tools. Ask your family and friends for assistance should you be unsure about building the cot yourself. Also, take the time to be sure to read all safety instructions. Be sure to choose a firm mattress that's not too thick and that is tightly fitted with no gaps. Avoid using cot bumpers, pillows or any other type of soft bedding, as they could cause fatal death from suffocation.

Some cots can transform into toddler beds, saving money in the long run, and making the transition from cot and bed as seamless as possible. Some are multi-functional and include extra features such as rails for teething or storage drawers. If you are planning on having more than one child, this is a great option as it will save you money in the future.

When you are looking for a cot, search for one that is within your budget and also the size of your nursery. If you are buying a crib for your Baby Crib's nursery, consider whether it is going to be placed in a shared space or if it will be located in your bedroom. If you plan to put the cot in your room, make sure it fits comfortably. Also, make sure that it isn't too close or obstructed by radiators or furniture. Do not place the cot too close to window blind cords since they could be the risk of strangulation.

Convenience

It's easy to become caught up in the details of spec and safety features when buying for your baby however, don't forget to consider convenience. If you're purchasing a cot bed you want it to be as easy as possible to move from room to room, and even into the garden. This is because the baby will be sleeping in the cot longer than you'd expect and it's essential to ensure that it's comfortable for you.

One of the most practical measures you can take is choosing a cot that converts into a bed for toddlers which will save you the expense and hassle of investing in another piece of furniture later.

The design is sleek and modern with slatted open sides that let you monitor your baby easily. It comes with three mattress positions so your baby can expand. There are also teething rails to provide extra security.

The Mamas & Papas Franklin cot is another top choice, as it comes with a range of useful features. It comes with a storage drawer, teething rails and two height positions. This lets your baby continue using the cot until they are ready to transition to a toddler's bed. It will also take a standard cot-sized mattress, but you'll have to purchase it separately.

Style

Some of the cots that we tested had bars that can be removed, which allows older children to be more independent while still being secure.

This allows it to be used from birth right up to the age of 4 years and saves you the cost of buying a separate Toddler Bed.

Another option is the Great Little Trading Company Little Wren Cot Bed that is sleek and stylish.
