Safety

A safe and secure sleeping environment is essential and a big consideration when choosing a cot. Make sure that the mattress is snug and has no gaps between it and the cot/cot bed's sides or ends (big gaps can trap your child's head or arms). Check that the mattress is firm and thin. Mattresses that are too thick can increase the risk of SIDS. There are many companies that offer mattresses made of different materials from foam to natural materials that are suitable for allergy sufferers. Some have anti-microbial treatment. If your cot has an inclined side, make sure it is in the up position and locked securely.

A drop side should only be allowed to drop only when an adult is present - this prevents accidental releases. If your coffin has a solid edge be sure to avoid placing it against the wall since it can block airflow and may contribute to the death of a coffin. Recent research suggests that slatted ends may be safer as they allow for more airflow.

Whenever you place your child in their cot, make sure that there is no obvious danger - it must be away from heat sources and windows, power points and curtains and blind cords (these pose a strangulation risk). When buying second-hand furniture or heirlooms, make sure to check for dangers to your child's health such as stickers and transfers. They can come off and cause danger.
