All cots must have bars that are not more than 6.5cm apart so that your baby's limbs don't get caught. Make sure the slats on your cot are securely secured to avoid any loose or rusty fittings. A good quality mattress for a cot is also essential for your baby's comfort. Look for pocket springs or latex-coated coir mattresses, as these offer the best support and won't slide like foams. It is worthwhile to invest in a waterproof cover, too, as any soiling will get into the mattress and could make your baby sweaty or uncomfortable. Some cots also come with extra features like gentle rocking motions to aid in settling your baby (like the SNOO Smarter Cot), adjustable inclines that ease reflux, and storage for nappy essentials (like the Mamas&Papas Lua Bedside Cot). These can be a wonderful addition, but remember to only purchase items that fit securely and are suitable for your baby's. 3.

It should be a few inches shorter than the frame of the cot to stop your child from being able climb out. 5. SnuzFino Bedside Cot The SnuzFino is among the most stylish cots we have on our list however, it's not all about appearances. With two height settings for the mattress this cot will carry your baby through the first 18 months, and even convert into a toddler bed with the addition of an (available separately) toddler kit. The design is elegant and timeless, and our tester believed it would work in any nursery. Particularly if you opt for an accompanying changing table and wardrobe. No matter which cot you choose, make sure that it complies with the guidelines applicable to your baby's age as well as your home. The spacing between bars shouldn't exceed 6.5cm (two inches) which will keep children from getting their heads stuck. Also, the surface should not be rough to prevent suffocation. You'll need an crib mattress that fits perfectly, with no gaps around the edges. It should also be made of air-tight materials to keep your baby's body temperature in check. While it's tempting to purchase a cot with extra features like drawers for storage built-in and removable bassinet sides (as with the Mamas&Papas Lua Cot) These should be considered in light of your budget and lifestyle. The best cots allow your baby to sleep comfortably and in a safe environment. There are many all-in one cot beds with lots of storage space that don't cost a fortune.
