When selecting the ideal bed for your child, there are a lot of things to consider. You'll have to think about size, safety, cost, and style to make the best decision. Make sure you know the dimensions of your cot prior to you purchase. The most popular dimensions are 140cm by 70cm. However, this may vary from one brand to the next. Be aware of the age range that a cot will be suitable for. You may require a change to a single or toddler bed once your child is ready or perhaps earlier.
A cot-bed is a versatile option since it can be converted to an infant bed or a small single bed once your baby is old enough. This will make the transition simpler for you and your child, and will help you save money.
Cot beds come in a range of sizes, shapes and finishes, making it essential to find the perfect fit for your nursery. Look for a model that fits the space. Also, keep in mind that a majority of cots come with removable sides to allow your child to play with toys or to sit in the bed. If your nursery has limited space, you should consider a smaller crib with curved edges.

Pine is the most commonly used material for
Mini Cot Bed beds. It's a soft material that means it's more prone to dents and scratches, but it's also a highly renewable material that is extremely durable and long-lasting.

This is a combination of MDF or plywood with an overlay to create a more durable surface.
Safety
To ensure that babies sleep in a secure and safe environment, cots and cot-beds must meet new safety and health standards. These include making sure that they do not have sharp edges, and that the distance between the bars is not greater than 6.5cm. This stops children from climbing out or becoming trapped between them and also means that they cannot use the bars as ladders. If you purchase a second-hand cot or heirloom, make sure it has been cleaned thoroughly and is in compliance with current safety standards. Older
cheap cots might have been painted with lead paint, which can pose dangerous for children.
A good quality cot must be simple to put together and come with clear instructions. It should also require a minimum number of tools. If you are unable to put it together yourself, ask your friends and family members for help and take time to read any safety guidelines carefully. Also, make sure that you have a solid mattress for the cot which is firmly fitted without gaps and is not too deep. Avoid using pillows, cot bumpers or any other type of soft bedding as they can cause fatal suffocation.

When shopping for a cot, search for one that fits your budget and also the size of your nursery.
