Mini Cot Beds

Mini cot beds are an excellent alternative to traditional cots, especially in the case of smaller rooms in your nursery. They are made to last until your child reaches the age of four. They come in a variety of colours and styles.

Our mom testers loved this comfy crib bed from Boori. It's simple to build, looks beautiful and has many additional features, such as teething rails and an storage drawer.

Style and Design

When it comes to choosing a cot your baby it's easy to get caught-up in the safety and specification features. But don't overlook the style. You need a cot that looks fashionable and will blend into your nursery, regardless whether it's a traditional or modern arrangement.

The Obaby Maya Mini Cot Bed is our best infant cribs choice in this category since it's a gorgeous piece that's super-easy to put together and looks fantastic in the room. It is also very sturdy and the only cot that we tried that we felt could last the test. The narrow bars allow for easy cleaning because there are no nooks or crannies where dust can accumulate. The lower base is ideal for newborns and, as your baby grows more active you can lower it even further to keep them from climbing out, while the teething rails will keep them safe from their sharp teeth.

Silver Cross Nostalgia is another beautiful piece. It's a beautiful sleigh style cot that can be used from birth. An extension kit, sold separately, allows it to be converted into a toddler-sized bed. The three height positions will keep your little one at ease throughout their development, but the arduous assembly process could put off some. It's also costly but it is worth it if your goal is a timeless design which will last for a long time. Gemma is the mother of Boden aged 13 months.

Innovation

Many mini cots are designed with efficiency in mind. They have innovative design elements that maximise space and function. For example, some models have an integrated diaper changing station that makes it simpler to change your baby. This improves the comfort of both your baby and you during the diaper changing process and also makes it more secure by keeping all the necessary items within reach.

Other designs that are innovative include a crib with an integrated trundle to provide additional storage, or a cot that folds into a small unit. These compact designs work well in homes with a limited space, or where the nursery is also used as a bedroom. Some models can also be converted into a sofa, giving even more flexibility and function for your growing child.

Mini cots are generally designed with safety in mind. They come with features like safety rails on the sides as well as non-toxic finishes. This ensures that they stay safe and secure throughout their first few years.

Moreover, our reviewer found it was easy to assemble and move around the room when completed, and its unique oval design means it is able to fit into doors that have standard frames, which is a huge benefit for stressed parents.

Comfort

It is easy to get caught up in the spec and safety features when you are laying out your baby's nursery, but comfort is also key. If your child will be spending a great deal of time in the mini cot they choose, it is important to ensure that they are safe and comfortable.

It was easy to assemble and Jill loved the way it fit through door frames that are standard. You'll need to purchase an oval mattress separately.

Convertibility

Cot beds are designed to last longer than standard cots. They provide your child with the bed they need from birth right through to the age of toddlers. This makes cots more durable than cribs. They are also more affordable because you don't have to buy a brand new bed for your child after they're old enough to use it.

Some cots or cots can also adapt to the needs of your child. They can be transformed into junior beds, or small sofas. The Stokke Sleepi for example can be used from age 2 and beyond with the purchase of a junior conversion kit and mattress extender (sold separately). It's simple and looks great in any nursery. However, you'll require a fitted sheet for a cot-bed rather than a crib because the gaps are quite wide.
