Which Baby Cot is Right For Your Baby?

Cots are designed to keep babies from climbing out of the bed or becoming suffocated in the event of a fall between the mattress and the cot. They should not have sharp edges or protrusions.

Most cots are designed with four secure sides to ensure your baby's safety at all times. Many cots are available in fixed-size and can be transformed into a toddler bed if your child gets older.

Standard Cots

Standard cots can be easily installed beside the parents' bed, allowing them to view their baby while they rest. cots to tots have fixed sides to prevent babies from climbing over them. But, once babies can crawl and stand up, the sides can become dangerous and must be removed to stop your child from falling out of the their bed or causing injury to themselves.

A cot-bed is a larger version than a cot, with sides that can be removed and end panels. It can be converted into a toddler's bed when your baby grows out of it. This feature is particularly useful when you are planning to have more than one baby, as it eliminates having to change between different types and reduces costs by not purchasing separate beds. The majority of cot-beds are suitable from birth to around two years of age dependent on the size and weight of your infant.

Drop-side Cots

A cot with a drop-side is ideal if you suffer from back pain because it means you don't have to bend over the side as much. This is important since back problems are one of the most common problems amongst pregnant women and new parents particularly those who have suffered back injuries in the past.

This type of cot also allows your baby to be easily reached during the day without having to worry about your back or lifting them. It is essential to ensure that there is a minimum of 4cm between the base of the mattress and the mattress to prevent your child from climbing out.
