Which Baby Cot is Right For Your Baby?

Cots prevent children from falling out of bed or becoming suffocated when they fall between the mattress and the cot. They should not have protrusions or sharp edges.

The majority of cots have four secure sides, so you can rest assured that your child is secure at all times. Many cots come in a fixed-size and can be transformed into a toddler bed if your child grows.

Standard Cots

Standard cots can be installed alongside the parents' bed, allowing them to view their child as they rest. They are designed to be secure and safe with fixed sides to prevent children from climbing over the sides. Once your baby is able to stand and crawl on the sides, they pose dangerous and should be removed.

Cots have a circular shape, which helps save space. They are also smaller than traditional cots. They are easy to clean and provide a safe and comfortable place for your child to sleep. They are portable and often come with castors or wheels so you can move them around.

Some cots come with extra features like drawers or teething rails, but many are simple and basic. The best cots are made of natural materials as these are more durable and resistant to wear and tear. It is crucial to keep them free of any stuffed animals or pillows, since they can cause children to drown.

A cot-bed is a larger version than a cot, with a removable side and end panels. It can be converted into a toddler's bed when your child grows out of it. This feature is particularly useful if you are expecting to have more than one child since it removes the necessity of switching between different kinds of furniture, and also saves money by purchasing separate cribs beds. Most Cot beds (http://daoqiao.net/) are suitable from birth until your child is two years old, based on their weight and size.

Drop-side Cots

A cot that has a drop side is ideal if you suffer from back pain as it means you aren't bending over the side as much. This is important as back problems are one of the most frequent problems for pregnant women and new parents particularly those who have suffered back injuries in the past.

This type of cot means that your baby can be reached more easily during the day without you having to be concerned about your back or lifting them. However, you need to ensure that the gap between the base of the cot and the mattress is at least 4cm in order that your child won't be able to climb out.

Prior to 2011, US online cots were not tested in the same manner as UK models and this led to dangerous designs being prohibited in the USA. Look for a model with an auto-locking drop side in the up position. It will require two actions to unlock. This will prevent your child from being able lower the side to climb out.

Corner Cots

While photos of styled nursery pictures may show blankets adorably draped around a cot, according to Red Nose, a charity campaigning to eradicate sudden infant death syndrome, any fabrics placed in the vicinity of the baby should be tucked in tightly to avoid the risk of being suffocated.
