Which Baby Cot is Right For Your Baby?

Cots are designed to stop babies from getting out of bed or dying if they fall into gaps between the mattress and the cot. They should not have sharp edges or protrusions.

Most cots have 4 solid sides, which means you can rest assured that your baby is safe at all times. A lot of cots are available in fixed-sizes and can be converted into a toddler bed when your child gets older.

Standard Cots

Standard cots can be easily installed beside the parents' bed, giving them a view of their baby while they rest. These cots are designed to be secure and safe with fixed sides to prevent babies from climbing on the sides. However, once babies are able to crawl and stand up, the sides become a danger to safety and must be removed to prevent your child from falling out of the bed or hurting themselves.

Cots are generally circular in shape to help save space and are smaller than traditional cots. They are easy to clean and provide a comfortable and safe space for your cheap baby cots to rest in. They can be easily moved between rooms and are usually mounted on wheels or on castors to enable you to move them with ease.

A lot of cots are simple and basic. Some have extra features like teething rails or drawers for storage. The best cots are made from natural materials since they are more robust and resistant to wear and tear. They should be kept free of stuffed toys or pillows since they can create the risk of suffocation to young children.

A cot bed is a bigger version of the cot which features removable sides as well as an end panel, which means it can be converted into a toddler bed after your baby outgrows it. This feature is particularly useful when you plan to have more than one child because it eliminates the need to switch between various kinds of furniture and helps save money on buying separate beds. The majority of cot beds can be used from birth until around two years old, depending on the weight and size of your infant.

Drop-side Cots

A cot that has drop sides is perfect for those suffering from back pain as it means that you don't have to bend over the side as much. Back back pain is a common occurrence for pregnant women and new mothers, especially if they have had back injuries in the past.

This type of cot allows you to reach your baby more easily throughout the day, without having to lift them or be concerned about your back. But, you must ensure that the gap between the base of the mattress and the base of the cot is at least 4cm in order that your child won't be able to get out.
