Safety

When selecting a cot, an environment that is safe for sleeping should be the top priority. The mattress should fit snugly and there shouldn't be gaps between the mattress and the edges or sides of the cot or cot-bed (large gaps can restrict the child's arms or head). Check that the mattress is not too firm and thin. Thick mattresses could increase the risk of SIDS. Many companies offer a range of mattresses, ranging from basic foam to natural materials suitable for allergy sufferers. Some contain anti-microbial treatments. If your cot has drop-sides, make sure it is secured and in the upward position.

Drop sides should only be allowed to go to fall when an adult is present in the room. This will prevent accidental releases. Avoid placing your mini cot beds against a wall if it has a solid end. This will limit airflow, which could lead to coffin death. According to the most recent research, cots with slatted edges are safer since they allow for more airflow.
