A cot is the infant's first bed and will serve as their bed until they are around four years old. So you want it to be comfy, sturdy and safe.

Make sure the mattress is free of gaps as these can be a suffocation hazard for babies. Also look for a cot that converts to an infant cot bed bed.

Single Cot

The OEX Ultralite foldable cot is one of the lightest options available. It weighs just 2.68kg, and costs almost a quarter less than the Helinox version I tested. It's also much simpler to set-up - the two main poles snap together, like tent poles that are unusually thick with shock cords to hold them in place. They then slide into sleeves on the legs of their connected legs. You simply need to put your feet in them to set up the sleep surface.

It can be difficult to take apart. You need to be strong enough to remove the legs, and then it is an effort to remove the frame. However, that's not a major issue and it's certainly the most lightweight cot I've tried.

Check out the cot bed range on the market if you're looking for something that is more durable and long-lasting. If you opt for this option, you'll have to buy a separate bed for your child in some time.

Some children prefer to stay in a cot for longer than this, however most want to transition to their first single bed - which can be presented as a 'prize for being the big brother or sister!

The Cot One provides a comfortable sleeping environment for infants and young children on any surface, even hard surfaces. It's also easy to set up, without small parts that can be lost, and feels secure enough to hold a toddler with no wobbly bits or parts to worry about.

Double Cot

A double cot is perfect for newborn twins or siblings who want to share a bed. It comes with the same security features as a single cot. This includes side rails, a slatted base that can be adjusted to meet your child's changing needs. It also comes with numerous support areas, so you can choose the perfect fit for your child's unique needs. In addition, this is the only cot we've tested that is designed to accommodate multiple infants simultaneously as it can hold two babies as big as 325 pounds. and 72 inches long. This is a fantastic selling point for families who will need to share space.

One feature that many parents love about this crib is that it can convert into a toddler bed and then onto the junior bed, which gives it a longer life span and means that you won't need to purchase another new bed. This is essential for parents on tight budgets and can save you money over the long term as your baby grows into a young adult.

The majority of health professionals recommend cot beds since they offer the highest level of safety for your child. The bed is intended to be used until your child reaches the age of two years old. After this, it will have to be converted to an adult bed or a toddler bed.

This is the only cot we tested with an adjustable base. The base is adjustable to the lowest setting from birth and the highest for when your baby is able to roll. This is a vital feature because children could choke if their head becomes trapped between gaps or protrusions within the cot.

This cot's only downside is that it isn't easy to fold and can be a challenge to get the legs in position. It's also the largest cot we've reviewed and is a bit heavy to carry around in the event that you have to move it from the storage area.

This luxury wood cot is a great option if you're looking for a cot that has all the features. This gorgeous piece of furniture will elevate style, comfort and function in your living room. It looks gorgeous in any nursery and can blend perfectly with different styles for your child's bedroom after your child has outgrown it.

Triple Cot

Cots are specifically designed for babies and offer an environment that is safe for sleeping to ensure your baby gets the rest they require. They are usually smaller than beds and the base is able to be raised depending on your baby's developmental stage. Many cots have an opening that allows you to sleep in a safe environment with your baby and makes it easier to have nighttime feeds. Some cots have the option of removing a side completely, allowing you to use it as a bassinet. This is a safer alternative to co-sleeping with your child in your bed.

Some cots have additional features that make life easier for parents. They include an under-bed drawer that is perfect for storage, rails that safeguard babies who are teething, and an adjustable riser leg that can create an angle that is suitable for reflux babies. One of our favourite cots is the Silver Cross Westport Cot Bed It is gorgeous to look at thanks to its minimalist Scandi style and oak finish but it is also super practical with three different heights for the mattress, as well as it being able to convert into a toddler bed when your child is ready.

Having good quality sleep is vital for all babies therefore it's worth the time to find the perfect cot or crib for your newborn.

There are a variety of things to consider when buying the cot you want, including the dimensions of the cot as well as its sides, if it comes with an opening for a drop side for smaller babies or health issues and the capacity of storage for the cot and whether it has an hood that can be removed and if it comes with bedding. It is also worth double checking dimensions to ensure your baby's cot or crib will fit in your nursery/bedroom with plenty of room for movement and not too close to heat sources or windows.

Quadruple Cot

You'll need a four-in-one crib if you're expecting twins, triplets or more. These cots are large enough to accommodate four babies simultaneously and come with bedding sets that help you get your kids up and ready for bed. Many also feature a side rail that can be removed, so you can place your child close to you as they sleep. If you have more than one child, you may be interested in a model that has a bunk bed that can be converted into a single.

Many cots have an adjustable mattress that can be adjusted up and down to suit your baby's height. This can be a good option if you're worried your newborn might slip down during the night, and is beneficial for when your child starts to stand. A lot of cot mattresses are made out of natural materials, such as cotton or wool, however you can find models made of polyurethane foam, too.

Choose a cot that has mesh sides. This allows air to circulate and keep your baby cool. Be sure to check the bars too. They should not be wider than 6.5cm to stop your child from climbing out. Avoid cots that have solid foot and head boards as they could trap clothing or legs.

Another crucial aspect to consider is how easy it is to clean. Find out if it can be washed in the machine and what the care instructions are for the fabric and any other parts that can be removed. You'll also have to consider whether your existing bedding for a cot will work or if you'll have to purchase specialized travel cot sheets.

Babies require lots of paraphernalia including nappies (which can quickly add up!) bedding clothes and other toys. A cot with storage, such as the Obaby Stamford Space Saver Cot will help you organize everything neatly and easily accessible.
