Best Cots For Newborns

A cot is an elevated bed for your child that prevents them from falling off. They are available in a variety of styles, from bedside cribs beds (bassinet-style cots that are attached to your side of the bed to allow secure co-sleeping) to travel cribs.

The mother tester Jasmin appreciated the cot's storage space that is perfect for blankets and sheets. It's also easy to set-up and has an inclined design to ease reflux.

Cot beds are the best friend of parents. They are a great way to keep your baby cozy and (hopefully) asleep peacefully. When looking for a cot, there are plenty of aspects to consider.

2. SnuzFino Cot Bed

It was given Gold in the Mother&Baby Cots online Awards 2024 for best Moses basket, cot or crib.

The cot is more compact than other models that we have tested. It's also great for smaller rooms. It also comes with a convenient side door so you can access it easily to feed, nappies and changing. Parents loved how easy this cot was to set up, with our tester taking just 12 minutes to have it set up and ready for use.

When choosing a cot bed make sure you choose one that conform to safety regulations. All cots should have bars that are not more than 6.5cm apart to ensure that your baby's limbs aren't trapped. Check that the slats of your cot are securely secured to prevent any loose or rusty fittings.

It is essential that your baby has a comfortable cot mattress. Choose mattresses that are coated with latex or pocket springs, which offer the most support and do not slide. It's worth investing in a waterproof cover as well, as any soiling will be absorbed directly into the mattress and cause your baby to sweat or be uncomfortable.

Some cots have additional bonuses such as adjustable inclines that ease reflux, as well as storage for the nappy essentials (such as the Mamas&Papas Lua Bedside Cot). These can be a wonderful option, but make sure to only purchase additional items that fit safely and are suitable for your baby's.

3. Graco SnuzFino Bedside Crib

This crib is perfect for families who want to use it from the beginning and place it close to your bed while your baby sleeps. It's a compact design that can easily fit through door frames that are standard and weighs just 6kg so it's easy to move around your home. It's also easy to get up and down the top, making it ideal for those diaper changes.

It can also be converted to a toddler bed with the included Toddler Kit (PS70), which is great news for parents since it it will last until your child is ready to transition from cot life. This is a gorgeous crib bed with the Scandi style. It will look fantastic in your nursery.

This solid pine cot is also an excellent option. It is suitable for babies to 3 years old, and costs only PS372. Our testers loved its elegant panelled design.

Its small size means it's an ideal option for anyone who has a smaller space or with a sloped ceiling.

4. Babyletto Bedside Crib

This bedside crib allows parents to cuddle their baby close to them just before the time to go to bed. 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 close prior to putting them to sleep.

This babyletto cot Babyletto is made with non-toxic paint in a wide range of colors, so you'll be able to make it a part of your nursery or bedroom decor. It's a great choice for parents with low ceilings and do not want to take up too much space on the floor. It can be adjusted to 11 different heights and can be tilted to four different positions. This includes an incline to help with reflux.

It's also a well-constructed design that will last into the toddler years. One tester's parent said that her child had spent the night in the cot with 2 babies and was still in good condition to pass it on to her younger.

This cot is also small and compact which makes it easy to assemble and move around. It's an ideal choice for parents with smaller spaces and can also be used as a travel cot, too. It was easy to assemble and the testers loved the storage drawer that held all of your baby's essentials. It's a bit costly but it's an excellent investment because of the design and the functionality. The cot isn't equipped with a mattress, so you'll have to purchase one separately. We suggest settling for a comfortable, airy mattress that fits snugly to prevent your baby from getting trapped. 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 crib is among our sleekest models, but it's not just about appearances. It's designed to last for the first 18 months. It can also be transformed to a toddler's bed by adding an additional toddler kit. The design is timeless and stylish, and our testers found it is suitable for any nursery, especially in the event that you decide to purchase a matching changing unit and wardrobe.

Regardless of what type of cot you select, ensure that it is in compliance with the relevant standards for your baby's age group and your home. The bars' spacing should not be more than 6.5cm (two inches), as this will stop infants from getting their heads stuck. Additionally the surface shouldn't be rough in order to avoid the risk of suffocation. You'll need an crib mattress that fits perfectly without gaps around the edges. It should also be made of breathable materials in order to keep your baby's body temperature in check.

It's tempting, but carefully consider your budget and lifestyle before buying a cot with extra features, such as built-in storage and side panels that can be removed from the bassinet (as the Mamas and Papas Lua Cot). The best cots allow your baby to rest comfortably and securely. There are all-in one cot beds with plenty of storage that don't cost a fortune.

If you are seeking a cutting-edge option then the SNOO cot with Smart Sleeper includes a built-in sensor that responds to your baby's cries. It gently rock into the same way as their mother's womb. The price is a little steep, but it could be worth the investment for fussy sleepers.
