Safety

A secure sleeping space is an essential factor when selecting a bed. The mattress should be snugly fitted and there shouldn't be gaps between the mattress and the sides or ends of the cot or cheap cot beds-bed (large gaps could trap the child's arms or head). Verify that the mattress is firm and thin. Mattresses that are too thick could increase the risk of SIDS. There are many companies that offer a variety of mattresses, from simple foam to natural substances for allergy sufferers. Some even have anti-microbial treatment. If your crib has drop sides, make sure it is in the upward position and secured.

A drop side should only be allowed to drop only if an adult is present, to prevent accidental releases. If your cot has a solid end do not place it against the wall since this will restrict airflow and may contribute to death in the coffin. According to the most recent research, slatted end cots may be safer because they allow for greater airflow.

If your cot is fixed to one side, you should choose it. It will be the most secure option for your child when they begin to crawl and pull themselves up. If your child is confidently climbing and standing, it's the time to move to a junior bed.

Some cots have a feature where the base can be raised to three different heights, so that it will expand with your child which is extremely useful and is a security measure. Other cots come with adjustable footplates, which are ideal for toddlers who wish to sit up in their bed.
