How to Choose the best cot beds Cot For Newborns

A cot is the baby's first bed, and will be their sleeping space until they reach the age of four years old. You want it to be sturdy, comfortable and safe.

Make sure the mattress is free of gaps because they can pose a suffocation hazard for babies. Also look for a convertible cot.

Single Cot

The OEX Ultralite folding cot is one of the lightest options available on the market. It weighs 2.68kg and is almost half the cost of the Helinox version I tested. It's also much easier to set up. The two poles are able to snap together like abnormally burly tent poles with shock cord to keep them in order, then they slide easily into sleeves that fit on their legs and you just have to put your feet on them to set up the sleeping surface.

The only drawback is that it can be a little tricky to dismantle it - you have to be extremely strong to remove the legs and it requires some effort to dismantle the frame itself. It's only a minor complaint, and I think it's the best lightweight cot I've ever tried.

If you want something stronger and durable, take a look at the range of cot beds that are available on the market. They're usually suitable from birth to around 2 years, so you'll have to buy one bed for your child at some time if you choose this option.

Some children may stay in the cot for longer, but the majority will want to go to their first single mattress - as a reward for being a big sister or brother!

It's also easy to install, with no small pieces that could be lost, and it's solid enough to be able to keep a toddler in place without any wobbly bits to worry about.

Double Cot

A double cot is great for newborn twins or siblings who will need to sleep close together. It offers the same safety features as a single cot including side rails and a slatted base which can be lowered as your child grows. It also comes with multiple support areas, so you can dial in the right fit for your child's unique needs. This is the only cot that we tested that can accommodate two infants at once, as it can hold up to 325 pounds. This cot is 72 inches long. This is a huge selling point for families that will need to share space with more than one child.

A great feature that many parents adore about this cot is that it can be converted into a toddler bed and later into the junior bed, which gives it a longer life span and meaning that you won't need to purchase another new bed. This is crucial for families on tight budgets and can save you money in the future as your child grows into an adult.

Cot beds are the preferred sleeping option of most health professionals since they provide the most safety for your baby. The crib is designed to be used up until your child reaches the age of two years old. After this, it will have to be converted into a toddler or junior bed.

This is the only cot that we tested that has an adjustable base. The lowest setting is ideal starting at birth, while the highest setting is suitable for when your baby can roll over. This is a crucial feature as children can suffocate if their head becomes trapped between gaps or protrusions within the cot.

The only issue with this cot is that it isn't easy to fold, and it can be a hassle to get the legs in position. Also, it is the largest cot we've reviewed and may be a burden to carry around if you need to move it from its storage location.

Cots are specially designed for babies and offer a safe sleeping space to ensure your little one gets the rest they require. They are usually lower than beds and the base is able to be raised to suit your baby's developmental stage. A majority of cots come with a drop-side that allows you to sleep in a safe environment with your newborn. This also allows you to feed your baby at night. Some cots also offer the option of removing one of the sides completely. This allows you to use it as a bassinet to provide a safer option to sleeping in your bed.

Some cots come with additional features that can make life a little easier for parents, like a handy drawer beneath the cot, which is great for storage or to keep the essentials at hand, anti-bite rails that are placed on top of the cot to safeguard teething babies, and a removable riser leg that can be used to create a slight incline for reflux babies. One of our favourite cots is the Silver Cross Westport Cot Bed It is gorgeous to look at with its minimalist Scandi style and oak finish but it is also extremely practical, with three levels of height for the mattress, as well as it being able to convert into a toddler bed once your child is ready.

It's also a great option when your child begins to stand up. Some cot mattresses are made of natural materials like wool or cotton. However you can also find models made with polyurethane.

It's a good idea to choose a cot with mesh sides. This allows air to circulate and help keep your baby cool. Be sure to check the bars too. They shouldn't be larger than 6.5cm to stop your child from climbing out. Avoid cots with solid foot and head boards, as they could trap clothing or the limbs of your child.

Another important consideration is how easy the cot beds for sale is to clean. Check if the fabric can be cleaned by machine and the care instructions for any removable parts.
