Our mom testers loved this cozy cot bed from Boori. It's simple to build it looks stunning and comes with many extra features, including teething rails as well as an storage drawer.

Style and Design

When you are choosing a cot for your baby it's easy to get swept up in the safety and spec features. However, don't forget about the style. You want something that's fashionable and will fit in with your nursery, no matter if you have a modern or traditional setup.

Obaby Maya Mini Cot Bed Our top pick in this category, is a beautiful piece that's easy to assemble and looks great in any room. It's also extremely sturdy and is the only cot we've tested that we feel will endure the test of time. The narrow bars mean there are no nooks and crevices to collect dust and make cleaning as easy as is possible. The base that is lower is great for babies and, as your baby gets more active, you can lower it to stop them from climbing out, while the teething rails will keep them safe from sharp teeth.

Silver Cross Nostalgia is another beautiful piece. It's a beautiful sleigh-style cot which can be used from the time of birth. An extension kit, available separately, lets it be converted into a toddler bed. The three different heights will keep your child content as they grow up, but the arduous assembly process might cause some to be hesitant. It's also expensive however it is worth it if you're looking for a timeless design which will last for a long time. Tested by Gemma mother to Boden 13 months old.

Innovation

Many mini cots are designed with efficiency in mind. They have innovative design elements that maximize the space and efficiency.

Our reviewer also found it easy to assemble, and then move around the room once it's all set. Its unique oval shape allows it to fit into doors that have standard frames.

Comfort

The Mamas & Papas Franklin cot-bed is another option if you are looking for a cot that has added features such as a drawer, teething bars and two adjustable positions. Our test subject Jill was able to put together, and she loved how it fits through standard door frames. But keep in the mind that you'll have to purchase sheets and an oval mattress separately.

Convertability

Cot beds will last longer than standard cribs and give your child an appropriate bed from birth until toddlerhood. This makes cots a better choice than cribs. They are also a more cost-effective option because you don't have to purchase a new bed for your child when they are no longer in it.
