There's plenty to consider when selecting the best bed for your child. You'll need to consider size, safety, cost, and style to ensure you make the best decision. Make sure you know the dimensions of the cot prior to you buy. The most common dimensions are 140cm x 70cm. However, this may differ from brand to brand. You should also consider the age range in which cots are suitable. This will help you decide whether you should upgrade your child to an adult bed or a single bed once they are ready.

Cot beds come in a wide assortment of shapes, sizes and finishes so it's important to find the perfect fit for your nursery. Choose a cot that is suitable for the space. Also, keep in mind that most cots come with removable sides to allow your baby to play with toys or to sit up in bed. If your nursery is small, opt for a cot that is compact and has curved edges to make the most of the space.

Cot beds can be found in a variety of materials, with pine being the most sought-after. This is a softwood, therefore it is more susceptible to dent and scratches however, it's also durable and renewable. The three species of oak, birch and beech are hard woods with greater resistance to wear. Some cots are made from engineered wood, which combines a layer plywood or MDF with a veneer of wood in order to give an even more durable finish.

Safety

To ensure that babies sleep in a safe environment, cots and cots-beds must meet new safety and health standards. They should also not have sharp edges and the distance between bars should not exceed 6.5cm. This stops children from climbing out or getting trapped between them, and it also means that they can't use the bars as a ladder. If you purchase a second-hand cot or family heirloom, be sure it has been thoroughly cleaned and is up to date with safety standards. Older cots might have been painted with leaded paint, which poses dangerous for children.

A high-quality cot will be easy to assemble with clear instructions and a small amount of tools. If you are not able to build it yourself, ask friends or family members for suggestions and be sure to read any safety guidelines carefully. It is also important to ensure that you have a firm mattress for the cot, that is securely fitted, without gaps and not too deep. Avoid using pillows, cot bumpers, or any other soft bedding since they could cause fatal suffocation.

Some cots can be converted into toddler beds, saving you money in the long term and making the transition between the bed and cot as seamless as possible. Some are multi-functional and come with additional features like rails for teething or storage drawers. If you are planning to have more than one child, this is a great option as it will save you money in the future.

When purchasing a cot, ensure that it is within your budget and is the right size for your nursery. Consider whether you will be using it in a bedroom shared by two parents, or whether it is intended for your own child's room. If the cot is in your own room take measurements to ensure that it is comfortable and is not too close to furniture or radiators. Avoid placing the cot close to the cords of your window blinds, as they can pose a strangulation hazard.

Convenience

It's easy to get caught up in the spec and safety features when you are buying for your baby, but don't forget about the convenience. If you're buying a cot bed you want it to be as simple as possible to move from room to room, and even out into the garden. This is because your cheap baby cots will be sleeping in the cot longer than you'd expect and it's essential to make sure that it's convenient for you to use it.
