Size

There's a lot to think about when choosing the right bed for your little one. To make the best crib decision, you'll want to think about safety as well as style, price, and size. Check the dimensions of the cot prior to you purchase. The most common dimensions are 140cm x 70cm. However, this can differ from brand to brand. Be aware of the age range that a cot is suitable for, as you might need to upgrade to an infant bed or a single bed when your child is ready, or even sooner.

A cot-bed is a flexible option as it can be transformed into a toddler bed or small single bed when your child is old enough. This makes the transition much easier for both you as well as your child and save you money.

Cot beds are available in a wide variety of shapes, sizes and finishes, making it essential to find the right fit for your nursery. Choose a cot that will fit in with your space, and bear in mind that a majority of cots come with removable sides to let your baby play with toys or sit in the bed. If your nursery is small, go for a compact cot with curves to make the most of the space.

If you're unsure about the ideal suitable nursery furniture ask around with relatives and friends who have children. They can offer invaluable insights about their experiences with various models and provide suggestions based on personal experience. You can also read online customer reviews to get a better understanding of what other parents thought about the cot beds they purchased.

Pine is the most popular material used for cot beds. It's a soft wood which means it's more prone to dents and scratches, but it's also a highly renewable material and extremely sturdy. Birch, oak, and beech are also hard woods with greater resistance to wear. Some cots are made from engineered wood. It's a combination of MDF or plywood with the addition of a veneer to provide a more durable and long-lasting surface.

Safety

To ensure that babies are sleeping in a safe and secure environment, cots and cot beds must meet the latest safety and health standards. They must also be free of sharp edges and the distance between bars must not exceed 6.5cm. This will prevent infants from climbing out or getting trapped between them, and it also means that they can't use the bars as ladders. When buying a second-hand cot or antique, ensure it has been thoroughly cleaned and is up to date with safety standards. Older cots could have been sprayed with lead paint, which can be dangerous for children in the early years.

A good quality cot will be easy to assemble with clear instructions and a minimum of tools. If you are unable to build it yourself, ask friends and family members for help and make sure you review any safety guidelines carefully. Make sure you use a mattress that is not too heavy and is firmly fitted without gaps. It is advised to avoid using pillows, cot bumpers or any other bedding that is soft, as these can cause fatal inhalation.

Some cots can be transformed into toddler beds. This will help you save money and make the transition from cot to bed as smooth as you can. Some are multifunctional and have additional features, such as rails for teething or storage drawers. This is a great option when you are planning to have more than one baby cots on sale (https://maps.google.gg/). It will help you save money.

When you are buying a cot ensure it fits within your budget and is the appropriate size for your nursery. If you are buying a cot for your Baby beds's nursery, think about whether it is going to be utilized in a room shared by two people or if it will be within your own bedroom. If you intend to use the cot in your room ensure that it fits comfortably. Also, ensure that it is not too close to or obstructed by furniture or radiators. Do not place the cot too close to window blind cords as they can pose a strangulation hazard.

Convenience

When buying for your Baby beds it's easy to concentrate on safety and the spec features. But don't overlook ease of use. If you're buying a crib you want it to be as easy to move from room to room, and even into the garden. It's because your child could be sleeping in the crib for a longer period of time than you believe.

You can save money and time by selecting a cot that transforms into a toddler bed. It's a popular option for parents of all ages, but it's important to keep in mind that it's likely to be slightly more expensive than a standard cot.

The John Lewis Elementary cot is a good example of a great value cot that can be converted into a toddlerbed. The design is simple and modern, with slatted open sides that let you easily monitor your child. It has three mattress positions, so your baby can grow.

Another top pick is the Mamas & Papas Franklin cot, which includes a variety of handy additional features. It comes with a drawer for storage and teething rails as well as two height positions. This lets your baby continue using the cot until they're ready to transition to a toddler's bed. It can also accommodate the standard size cot mattress, however, you'll need to purchase this separately.

Ickle Bubba Snowdon Classic Cotbed is a different option. This is a beautiful sleigh cot, but it may not be as useful as other alternatives. For one, it's only suitable for your Baby Cot until they're two and doesn't come with a fitted sheet (you have to buy this separately). It's also easy to put together and you can get furniture that matches from the manufacturer.

Style

Cot beds are available in a variety of styles, from traditional sleigh designs to modern minimalist designs. The style you pick will be based on your personal preferences and the design of your nursery. You might also want to consider extra features, such as a storage drawer beneath, teething rails a drop side for petite babies or those with health issues, and the height of the base of your cot.

If you choose a cot-bed with bars, it's important to keep in mind that the distance between the bars must not exceed 6.5cm. Otherwise there's a risk of limbs being stuck. All cots and cot beds sold in the UK must meet the safety standard BS EN716-1:2008+A1:2013.

A few of the cots we tested have removable bars, which allow older children to be more independent while still being secure. The Cam Cam Copenhagen Harlequin Cot for instance, can be transformed into an infant or daybed by attaching an attachment kit (sold separately). This allows it to be used from birth until the age of 4 years old.

Another option is the Great Little Trading Company Little Wren Cot Bed It is a stylish and sleek-looking design with a convenient under-bed storage drawer for keeping all baby must-haves at hand.

It also comes with a teething rail and an adjustable base that can be adjusted to three different heights.

Stokke Sleepi Cot Beds are another sleigh style that can be made into a toddler bed using a junior conversion kit (sold separately) and mattress extender. It is a great value for price since it will last until your child reaches the age of five, however it is not the cheapest cot on our list.
