Which Baby Cot is Right For Your Baby?

Cots are designed to keep children from getting out of bed or dying if they fall into gaps between the mattress and the cot. They shouldn't have sharp edges or protrusions.

Most cots have 4 solid sides, which means you can be sure your baby is safe at all times. A lot of cots are available in fixed-sizes and can be transformed into a toddler bed as your child gets older.

Standard cots are ideal for small nurseries and can be installed alongside the beds of parents, allowing them to keep an eye on their child as they rest. The cots are designed with fixed sides to stop babies from stepping over them. When your baby is able to stand and crawl on the sides, they pose a safety risk and should be removed.

Cots are usually circular to help reduce space and are smaller than traditional cots. They are easy to clean and provide a safe and comfortable place for your child to sleep. They can be easily moved between rooms and are usually on wheels or castors that enable you to move them easily.
