How to Choose the Best Cot For Newborns

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

Make sure that it has gaps-free mattresses as gaps can pose an suffocation hazard for infants. Also look for a convertible cot.

Single Mini Cot Bed

The OEX Ultralite foldable cot is among the lightest options available. It weighs 2.68kg and is nearly half the price of the Helinox version I tested. It's also much easier to set up - the two main poles connect like unusually bulky tent poles, with shock cords to help keep them in place and slide into sleeves that fit on their legs and you just have to place your feet in them to create the sleeping surface.

It's not easy to disassemble. You need to be strong to pull the legs out and then it's an effort to dismantle the frame. It's not a major issue and I'm convinced that it's the lightest cot that I've ever tested.

If you're looking for something a little more robust and long-lasting, take a look at the range of cot beds that are available on the market. If you decide to go with this option, you will need to purchase a separate bed for your child in several years.

Double Cot

A double cot will be ideal for twins or siblings who need to sleep together. It comes with the same safety features of a single cot. It has side rails, a slatted bottom that can be adjusted to suit your child's growing needs. It comes with numerous support areas so that you can tailor it to meet your child's requirements. Furthermore, it's the only cot we tested that is designed to accommodate multiple infants at once and can accommodate two babies up to 325 lb. and 72 inches long. This is a big selling point for families who require space with more than one child.

One of the things that parents love about this crib is that it can convert into a toddler bed, and later into the junior bed, which gives it a longer lifespan and ensuring that you don't need to purchase another new bed. This is important for those who are on a tight budget and will save you money in the future as your baby grows into an adult.

Cot beds are the most recommended cribs popular sleeping option of most health professionals since they provide the most safety for your baby. They are designed to be used from the time of birth until your child is around 2 years old and will eventually need to be transformed into a toddler bed or junior bed.

This is the only cot that we tested that has an adjustable base. The base is adjustable to the lowest setting starting at birth, while the highest setting is suitable for when your baby is able to roll over. This is a crucial feature as children may choke if their heads are trapped between gaps or protrusions in the cot.

The only issue with this cheap cot beds is that it's not very portable, as it requires a large amount of effort to fold, and can be quite fussy when trying to position the legs. It's also the biggest cot on our list and is a bit heavy to carry if you have to move it from its storage area.

It's a stunning piece of furniture that adds the look, comfort and function in your living space. It is also stunning in any nursery and blends well with different styles for your child's bedroom once your baby outgrows it.

Triple Cot

Cots provide an ensconced and safe sleeping space for your baby and ensure that they get the rest they need. The base can be raised to meet the developmental stage of your baby. They are usually lower than beds. A majority of cots come with drop-sides that allow you to co-sleep safely with your baby. This also makes it easier to feed at night. Some cots allow the option of removing a side completely, allowing you to use it as a bassinet. This is a safer alternative than co-sleeping with your baby in your bed.

Certain cots come with additional features that simplify the lives of parents. They include a drawer under the cot which is ideal for storage, rails that protect babies with teeth and a riser leg that can create an angle that is suitable to help reflux babies. One of our favourite cots offers is the Silver Cross Westport Cot Bed It is gorgeous to look at thanks to its minimalist Scandi style and oak finish but it is also super practical with three different heights for the mattress, as well as being able to be converted into a toddler bed when your child is ready.

It is essential that your child has a restful night's sleep. So, it is worthwhile to take the time to choose the best cradle or cot for them.

There are many things to consider when buying the cot you want, including the depth of the cot and its sides, especially if it has drop sides for small babies or with health issues as well as the capacity of the cot's storage and whether it has a removable hood and if it comes with bedding. It is also worth double checking the dimensions to ensure that your baby's crib or cot can fit in your bedroom or nursery with enough space for movement, and not too close to sources of heat or windows.

Quadruple Cot

You'll need a four-in-one cot if you are expecting twins, triplets or even more. These large cots can hold four babies at once and include bedding sets to aid in getting your children up and ready for bed. Many have a side rail to keep your child close while they sleep. If you have more than one child, you might be interested in a model that has a bunk bed which can be made into one.

Pick a cot that has mesh sides. This allows air to circulate and keep your baby cool. Also, check the bars. They shouldn't be wider than 6.5cm to stop your child from climbing out. Avoid cots that have solid foot and head boards since they could trap clothing or limbs.

Another thing to consider is how easy it is to clean. Find out if it's machine washable and what the instructions for cleaning are for the fabric and any removable parts. Also, you'll need to think about whether your bedding for your cot is suitable or if you'll have to buy some special sheets for travel cots.

Babies need a lot of accessories, including nappies (which can quickly accumulate!) Bedding, clothes and toys. A cot with storage space, such as the Obaby Stamford Space Saver Cot will allow you to keep everything organized and easily accessible.
