Look for a model that is suitable for the space, and bear in mind that most cots have removable sides to allow your Baby Crib to play with toys or to sit up in bed. If your nursery is small, go for a cot that is compact and has curved edges to make the most of your space.

Pine is the most common material for cot beds. It's a softwood therefore it is more susceptible to dent and scratches but it's also highly renewable and extremely durable. The three species of oak, birch and beech are hard woods that are more resistant to wear. Some cots are made from engineered wood, which combines a layer of plywood or MDF with an outer layer of wood to create an even more durable finish.

Safety

Cots and cots must be in compliance with the latest safety and health standards to ensure that children sleep in a safe environment. These include ensuring that they have no sharp edges and that the distance between the bars is not more than 6.5cm. This will prevent children from climbing through or getting stuck between the bars. They also cannot use them as ladders. If you are purchasing an antique or second-hand cot, it is important to make sure it conforms to current safety standards and has been thoroughly cleaned. Older cots might have been painted with lead paint, which can pose dangerous for children.

A high-quality cot should be simple to put together and come with clear instructions. It should also require a minimum of tools. If you're not able to assemble it yourself, ask friends and family members for help and take time to go over any safety guidelines thoroughly. Make sure you use a firm mattress that is not too heavy and that is tightly fitted with no gaps. Avoid using cot bumpers, pillows or any other soft bedding, as they could cause fatal inhalation.

Some cots can be turned into toddler beds. This will save you money and make the transition from crib to bed as easy as it can be. Some are multi-functional, and come with extra features like teething rails and storage drawers.

When shopping for a cot for one that is within your budget and also the size of your nursery. Consider if you'll be using it in a bedroom shared by two parents or intended for your own child's room. If the cot will be in your own room take measurements to ensure that it is comfortable and isn't too close to radiators or other furniture. It is also recommended to avoid placing the cot close to cords for window blinds as they could be a risk of strangulation.
