If you're expecting a baby, it's important to choose the right cot that is safe and secure for your child. Find a cot with fixed sides (rather than drop-sides) that meet strict UK safety standards.

Comfort

The best cot beds keep baby's warm and comfortable. Choose a soft, comfortable fabric. Also, make sure that the mattress fits snugly to prevent any gaps which could cause the risk of suffocation. There are a variety of mattresses available, including coils springs, foam and natural materials for allergy-sufferers. Do your research to find the best one for your child.

Whatever you decide to use, whether a conventional cot or a convertible cot one, a comfortable mattress is essential to comfort. It should provide adequate support and encourage an ideal posture. The same applies to the slats. They should be securely attached and not bent or sagging. The slats need to be firmly fixed to the frame, to ensure that your child does not become caught in the movement in their sleep.

Ask your friends and family for recommendations or browse online reviews. Make sure you choose a mattress that's ventilated, as they'll aid in to regulate temperature and are less likely to be a home for bacteria.

Safety

When choosing a cot, the safety of your child's sleep is a must. The mattress should be snugly fitted and there should be no gaps between the mattress and the edges or sides of the cot/cot-bed (large gaps can hold the child's arms and head). Check that the mattress is firm and thin. Mattresses that are too thick can increase the risk of SIDS. There are many companies that offer mattresses made of different materials from foam to natural materials that are suitable for those suffering from allergies. Some have anti-microbial treatment. If your cot has drop-sides, ensure that it is locked and in the up position.

Drop sides should only be allowed down only when an adult is present in the room. This prevents accidental release. If your cot has a solid end, avoid placing it against the wall since it will block airflow and can cause death in the coffin. The latest research suggests that slatted ends could be safer since they allow for more airflow.

If your cot has a fixed side, opt for this as it is the most secure option when your child starts to crawl and then pull themselves up. If your child is confidently climbing tots and cots standing, it's time to upgrade to a junior bed.

Some cots come with an option that allows the base to be raised to three levels. This is a fantastic security feature that allows your child's cot to expand with their needs. Some cots also have footplates that are adjustable, which is ideal for toddlers wanting to sit up in their beds.

When you put your child in their cot, ensure that there is no visible danger. It must be kept away from heaters, power points, windows, blind cords and curtains (these pose a strangulation risk). When buying second-hand furniture or heirlooms, make sure to look for any dangers to your child's health such as stickers and transfers. They can come off and create a risk.

If you are unsure about how to use your cot, consult other parents for advice or go to an local NCT New Baby class. If your cot comes with an instruction manual, read it carefully before using it, and be sure to follow the safe-use instructions closely.

Stores

The amount of baby stuff you'll need is a mess regardless of whether you're a first-time parent or a seasoned one. This is why it's crucial to think about storage options when selecting the crib bed. Some cots have additional storage options, such as drawers under the bed or a coordinating top changer (available separately). Some cots can be converted into an infant bed or a small single bed to extend their use.
