Best Cots For Newborns

A crib is a bed that you can place your baby that has high sides to stop them from falling out. There are many styles from cribs for bed to travel cots.

The mother tester Jasmin loved the cot's storage space that is perfect for sheets and blankets. It's also simple to set-up and has an incline that helps with reflux.

1. Mamas&Papas Franklin Cot Bed

Cot beds are a parent's best friend, keeping baby warm and (hopefully) asleep peacefully. But when shopping for one, there's a lot to consider, from specs and safety to design and style. A good cot should last from birth to toddlerhood. So durability is important. This cot is stylish, robust and meets all the latest standards. It's also reasonably priced and comes with a mattress included.

Mamas&Papas is a master at creating practical and stylish nursery furniture, and this cot is no exception. It's a stylish option for your baby's first room, with a modern gray finish that will suit any color scheme. It can also be converted into a cool daybed or a toddler bed for long-term use. It also comes with two different heights for the base, making it safer and easier to reach your baby than a traditional drop-side cot. Its unique shape allows it to fit through the majority of doors and is a huge bonus for parents who are time-strapped. There's even a dresser and change table to keep your baby's essentials in one place.

2. SnuzFino Cot Bed

This cot will grow with your baby from birth to around four years of age. It has two levels of mattress which means you can start with a lower base and then lower it as the baby grows and learns to sit up on their own. It was awarded Gold in the Mother&Baby awards 2024 for best cot, crib or Moses basket, and is a top choice for parents.

This cot is more streamlined than other models that we have tested. It's also great for smaller spaces. It comes with a convenient side door that allows you to reach in easily to feed or change nappies, or change the nappies. Our tester took just 12 minutes to put together the cot.

Look for cot beds that conform to safety regulations. To prevent your baby's legs from becoming trapped, all cots should have bars no more than 6cm apart. Also, check that the slats are firmly fixed to prevent any loose or loose fastenings.

It is important that your baby sleeps on an incredibly comfortable cot mattress. Choose pocket springs or latex coated coir mattresses, as these provide the most support and don't sag like foams. Also, you should invest in a waterproof mattress cover, as any dirt will get into the mattress and cause your child to sweat or feel uncomfortable.

Some cots come with additional features that include gentle rocking motions that help settle your baby (like the SNOO Smarter Cot), adjustable inclines to help ease reflux, and storage for the nappy essentials (like the Mamas&Papas Lua Bedside Cot). These are a great alternative, but be sure to only buy additional items that fit safely and are suitable for your baby's.

3. Graco SnuzFino Bedside Crib

If you want a bedside crib that can be used from birth and keep close to your bed while your the baby sleeps, this might be what you're looking for. It's compact design fits through doors that have standard frames, and it weighs only 6kg. This makes it easy to move about your home. It's also simple to get up and go down, making it the perfect choice for changing nappy.

It's light and portable, meaning it is easy to move between rooms, or even when you go on vacation. Its stand-alone design is popular with new parents who want to access their newborn easily during the first few months of parenting. It comes with a fitted mattress and a reflux wedge cover, both of which are beneficial features.

The Toddler Kit will also allow it to be converted into a toddler bed, which is a great option for parents since it will last as long as your child needs it. This is a gorgeous crib bed with the Scandi look. It will look great in your nursery.

Another great alternative is this basic solid pine cot that is suitable from birth to three years and costs only PS372. Our testers loved its stylish panelled appearance. It's simple to put together and comes with a handy storage drawer, a teething rail and height settings that are adjustable. They are helpful for keeping your baby secure. Its compact dimensions make it a great option for people who have sloped ceilings or smaller spaces. Its strong construction ensures that it will last for many years and will not fall apart like some cribs.

4. Babyletto Bedside Crib

This crib in the bed allows parents to cuddle their infant close just before bedtime. The NHS recommends that babies be kept in a separate room for the first six months, but many parents find it soothing to have their child in close proximity before they go to sleep.

This babyletto cot Babyletto is made with non-toxic paint in a wide variety of colors, meaning you can make it a part of the decor of your nursery or bedroom. It's also a good cribs option for parents with sloping ceilings who don't want a cot taking up a lot of floor space. It can be adjusted in 11 different heights and tilted to four different positions. This includes an incline to help with reflux.

As well as looking attractive, it's a solid design that should last through the toddler years too. One tester's parent said that her baby spent the night in the cot with two years and was in good shape to pass it on to her younger.

Another advantage is that this cot is small and compact, which makes it easy to put together and move around when needed. It's an ideal choice for parents with smaller spaces and can be used as a travel cot, too. Testers said it was easy to assemble and loved the storage drawer to keep everything you need for your baby. It is a bit expensive, but it's worth the investment because of the design and function. The cot doesn't include a mattress, so you'll need to purchase one separately. We suggest a comfortable, breathable, and snugly fitting mattress to keep your child from suffocating. It should be a couple of inches shorter than the frame of the cot in order to prevent your child from being able to get out.

5. SnuzFino Bedside Cot

The SnuzFino is among the more stylish cheap cots on our list however it's not just about looks. With two height settings for the mattress the cot can see your newborn through their first 18 months, and even convert into a toddler bed with the addition of an (available separately) toddler kit. The design is elegant and timeless and our testers believed it would work in any nursery. Especially if you choose the matching changing table and wardrobe.

Regardless of what type of cot you choose, always ensure that it complies with applicable standards for your baby's age and your home. The bars' spacing must not exceed 6.5cm (2 inches) which will stop children's heads from becoming trapped, and the surface should be smooth to avoid dangers of suffocation. You'll also have to purchase a suitable cot mattress, which must be a perfect fit with no gaps around the edges and made from breathable materials to ensure that your baby's temperature is kept in check.

It's tempting, but you should take a close look at your budget and lifestyle prior to buying a cot that has extra features such as built-in storage, as well as side panels that can be removed from the bassinet (as the Mamas & Papas Lua Cot). The best cots allow your baby to rest comfortably and securely. There are all-in one cot beds with lots of storage space that don't cost a lot.

If you're looking for a cutting-edge option for your baby, the SNOO Smart Sleeper cot has a built-in sensor which responds to your baby's cries and gently rock them to sleep in a motion that replicates their mother's womb. The price is a little expensive, but it could be worth it for babies who are prone to fussiness.
