No matter if you select an ordinary or convertible cot, the most important thing to ensure comfort is a good-quality mattress that provides proper support and promotes a healthy posture.

Safety

A safe and secure sleeping environment is an essential consideration when choosing a cot. Make sure that the mattress fits snugly, with no gap between it and the cot's beds edges or sides (big gaps could keep your child's head from being caught in the arms). Check that the mattress is not too firm and thin. Mattresses that are too thick could increase the risk of SIDS. Many companies offer mattresses in different materials including foam and natural materials that are good for allergy sufferers. Some even have an anti-microbial treatment. If your cot has a drop-side, make sure it is locked and in the up position.

A drop side should only be allowed to drop when an adult is present, to prevent accidental release. If your coffin has a solid edge, avoid placing it against the wall because it will block airflow and could cause death in the coffin. The latest research suggests that slatted edges could be safer as they allow for more airflow.

If your cot is fixed to one side, you should choose it. It's the safest option for your baby when they begin to crawl and pull themselves upward. If your child is climbing with confidence and standing, it's the time to move to a junior bed.

Whenever you place your child in their cot, make sure whether there is no visible danger - it should be away from heaters, power points, windows and blind cords and curtains (these are a strangulation hazard). When buying second-hand furniture or heirlooms, be sure to look for any potential hazards to your child's safety such as labels and transfers. They may peel off and pose a danger.
