Space-saving

Cot beds are smaller versions of traditional cots but still offer all the safety and comfort features that your baby deserves.

To maximize your space, choose the right model that will fit with your existing bedroom furniture or one that you can easily disassemble and reassemble if you need to accommodate other baby things.
