Why We Our Love For Mini Cot Beds (And You Should, Too!)
Mini Cot Beds

Mini cot beds can be an ideal alternative to traditional cots, especially in the case of a smaller nursery. They are made to last up to four years old. They come in a range of colours and styles.

The cozy Cot-bed from Boori was a hit with our mum testers. It's simple to put together it looks stunning and comes with many extra features, like teething rails as well as a storage drawer.

Style & Design

It's easy to get caught up in the safety and specifications when selecting a cot for your baby, but don't forget the design. You want something that's fashionable and will fit in with your nursery, regardless of whether you have a modern or traditional setup.

Obaby Maya Mini Cot Bed, our top pick for this category, is a beautiful piece that's easy to build and looks stunning in any room. It's also extremely sturdy and is the only cot we tested that we feel will endure the test of time. The narrow bars mean there aren't any nooks or crevices for dust to accumulate in, making cleaning as simple as possible. The base that is lower is great for newborns and, as your baby grows more active, you can lower it even further to keep them from climbing out, while the teething rails will keep them safe from their sharp teeth.

Another stunning piece is the Silver Cross Nostalgia - a stunning sleigh-style cot which is suitable from birth and can be made into a toddler bed using an extension kit (sold separately). The three different heights will keep your child comfortable as they grow, but the arduous assembly process might cause some to be hesitant. It is also expensive but it is worth it if your goal is a timeless design which will last for a long time. Tested by: Gemma, mum to Boden, 13 months.

The wood is of high quality and has been made with precision to ensure long-lasting and durable. Grace the MFM tester was able to put it together easily and the packaging was designed to ensure that there were no pieces left behind. The cot does come with a mattress, but you'll need to purchase it separately.

Innovation

A lot of mini cots are designed with efficiency in mind. They feature innovative design elements that maximise the space and efficiency. Some models have an integrated changing station to facilitate your ability to change your baby. This improves the comfort of both you and your baby when changing diapers and also makes it safer by keeping all necessary items within reach.

Other unique designs include a cot that folds away into a compact unit, or a crib with built-in trundle drawers for additional storage space. These compact designs work great in homes with limited space or in homes where the nursery is also used as an additional bedroom. Some models can transform into a couch and give your child more flexibility.

In terms of safety, many mini cot beds are designed to ensure your child's wellbeing with features like secure side rails and non-toxic finishes. This will ensure they are safe and secure in their early years.

If you're looking for a stylish, modern crib bed with a stunning design and safety features Look no further than the Obaby Nika mini cot. The cot is smaller than its full-sized counterpart, but it doesn't sacrifice features, with three mattress base positions to accommodate your growing baby, and even teething rails. Our reviewer also found it simple to assemble and move around the room after it's been assembled. Its unique oval shape allows it to fit into doors that have standard frames.

Comfort

When you are planning your baby's nursery, it's easy to get caught-up in the safety and specification features. However it is equally important to consider comfort. If your child will spend much of the time in the crib they pick, it is important that they are comfortable and safe.

This is especially important if you're considering using a mini cot as an alternative to a Moses basket. It is recommended that babies sleep close to their parents for the first six months, so a warm and comfortable cot can allow them to do this while keeping them close to you.

The Mamas & Papas Franklin cot-bed is another option if are seeking a cot with added features like teething bars, a drawer and two positions that can be adjusted. It was simple to put together and Jill was impressed with how it fitted through door frames that are standard. However, do bear in your mind that you'll need purchase an oval mattress and sheets separately.

Convertibility

Cot beds are made to last longer than standard cots, ensuring your child with the bed they need from birth to the age of toddlers. This makes cots a better choice than cribs. They also are more affordable since you don't need to buy a brand new bed for your child when they grow out of it.

Some cots and cot beds are designed to adapt to the needs of your child, turning into junior beds or small sofa beds. Stokke Sleepi, for example can be used up to age 2 when you purchase an additional mattress extender and junior conversion kit (sold separately). It's easy to put together and looks lovely in any nursery. However, you will need to use an appropriate fitted sheet that will fit the cot bed, not a cot because the gaps between the bars are quite large.
