Safety

When choosing a cot an environment that is safe for sleeping should be a priority. The mattress should be able to fit snugly and there should be no gaps between the mattress and the edges or sides of the cot/cot-bed (large gaps can hold the child's arms and head). Check that the mattress is not too firm and thin. Mattresses that are thick can increase the risk of SIDS. Many companies offer mattresses in various materials from foam to natural materials that are suitable for allergy sufferers. Some even come with an anti-microbial treatment. If your mattress has an inclined side, make sure it is in the upward position and locked securely.

A drop side should be allowed to go down only when an adult is present; this prevents accidental release. If your coffin has a solid bottom be sure to avoid placing it against the wall since it will block airflow and may contribute to coffin death. According to the latest research, cots with slatted edges may be safer because they allow for more airflow.

If your cot is set on one side, then you can choose it. It will be the most secure option for your baby when they start to crawl and then pull themselves upwards. If your child is climbing with confidence and standing, it's the time to upgrade to a junior bed.

Some cots have features that allow the base can be raised to three different heights in order to increase with your child's growth This is extremely practical and a great safety measure. Some cots have footplates that can be adjusted to suit for toddlers who love to stand up.

When you place your child's cot, make sure there are no visible hazards. It should be put away from any heaters or power points. Also, keep it away from windows, curtains and blind cords. These can all present a strangulation threat. When buying second-hand furniture or heirlooms, make sure to look out for choking hazards such as stickers and transfers. These can peel off and cause danger.

If you're not sure how to use your cot safely consult parents around or go to an local NCT New Baby course for support and advice. If your cot comes with a manual be sure to read it before using it and adhere to the directions.

If your nursery is small, you may want to consider the possibility of a crib. It is smaller and requires less space. However it is recommended to consider a cot if you are planning to spend a lot of your baby's time in your room or if you require an item that lasts longer, you should choose a cot.
