Size

There's a lot to consider when selecting the best bed for your child. You'll need to consider size, safety, price and design to ensure you make the right choice. Check the dimensions of your cot before you purchase. The most popular dimensions are 140cm x 70cm. However, these can vary from one brand to the next.

Cot beds come in a variety of sizes, shapes and finishes. It is important to select the right one for your nursery. Select a cot that's suitable for your space, and be aware that a majority of cots have removable sides so that your baby can play with toys in bed or even sit up. If your nursery is small in space, consider a compact cot that has curving edges.

Contact family and friends who have children if you are unsure of the best fit for your nursery. They'll be able to provide invaluable information about their experiences with various models and offer suggestions from personal experiences.

Cot beds are available in a range of materials, with pine being the most popular. This is a soft wood which means it is more susceptible to scratches and dents, however, it's also a renewable material and extremely sturdy. Other options include birch, beech, and oak, which are hard woods with more resistance to wear and tear. Some cots are made of engineered wood, which combines a layer of plywood or MDF with a veneer of wood in order to make a more durable finish.

Safety

To ensure that babies sleep in a safe and secure environment, cots and cot beds must meet new standards for safety and health. They must also have no sharp edges and the bar's distance should not exceed 6.5cm. This prevents babies from climbing out and becoming trapped between them, and is also a way to ensure that they do not use the bars as a ladder. If you are buying an heirloom or second-hand crib, it is crucial to ensure that it is in compliance to current safety standards and has been thoroughly cleaned. Older cots might have been painted with lead paint, which is dangerous for children.

A high-quality cot will be easy to assemble with clear instructions and a minimum of tools. Ask your family and friends for assistance should you be unsure about making the cot yourself. Also, take the time to carefully read all safety instructions. Make sure to use a mattress that is not too thick and that is tightly fitted with no gaps. It is advisable to stay clear of pillows, cot bumpers or any other bedding that is soft, as these can cause fatal death from suffocation.

Some cots can be converted into toddler beds. This can reduce costs and make the transition from crib to bed as easy as it can be. Some are multi-functional and come with extra features such as teething rails or storage drawers. This is a great choice when you are planning to have more than one child. It will help you save money.

When you are buying a cot make sure it fits your budget and is the right size for your nursery. Consider if you'll be using it in a shared bedroom or intended for your own child's room. If you plan to use the cot in your room, make sure it fits comfortably. Also, make sure it is not too close to or obstructed by radiators or furniture. Do not put the cot next to window blind cords since they could be a strangulation hazard.

Convenience

When buying for your baby it's easy to concentrate on safety and features. But don't forget the ease of use. If you're buying a crib bed, you want it to be as easy as possible to move from room to room and even into the garden. This is because the baby will be sleeping in the cot longer than you'd expect and it's essential to ensure that it's convenient for you to use it.

You can save time and money by selecting a cot that converts to a toddler bed. This is a popular option for parents, but you should be aware that it may cost a little more than the regular crib.

The John Lewis Elementary cot is a good example of a high-quality cot that converts into a toddlerbed. The design is modern and simple with slatted open sides that let you observe your child easily. It also has three mattress height positions to allow your baby to grow and teething rails for extra security.

Another popular option is the Mamas & Papas Franklin cot, which comes with a myriad of useful extras. It comes with a drawer for storage, teething rails and two height positions.
