Safety

A secure sleeping space is a must and a major aspect to consider when choosing a bed. The mattress should be able to fit snugly and there should be no gaps between the mattress and the sides or ends of the cot/cot-bed (large gaps can restrict the child's arms or head). Verify that the mattress is not too firm and thin. Mattresses that are too thick could increase the risk of SIDS. Many companies offer a range of mattresses, from simple foam to natural materials for allergy sufferers and some even contain anti-microbial treatments. If your crib has an inclined side, make sure it is in the upward position and secured.

Drop sides should only be permitted down only when an adult is present in the room. This will prevent accidental releases. Avoid placing your cot against walls if it has a solid end. This will hinder airflow and could cause death in the coffin. According to the latest research, slatted end cots are safer since they allow for more airflow.

If your cot is set on one side, choose it. It will be the safest option for your baby as they start to crawl and pull themselves up. When your child is standing and climbing, it is a sign that they are ready to move into a junior bed.

Some cots come with a feature that allows the base to be raised up to three levels. This is a great security feature that allows your child's cot to expand with the child. Some cots feature adjustable footplates that are ideal for toddlers who want to stand up.

When putting your child's cot in the crib ensure there aren't any visible dangers. It should be kept away from power and heater points. Also be sure to keep it away from windows, curtains and blind cords. These can all present a strangulation threat. If you're buying furniture from a secondhand store or an heirloom piece, check for choking hazards like stickers and transfer tapes that could peel off and present a risk.

If you're unsure of how to use your cot in a safe manner you can ask other parents or attend a local NCT New Baby course for support and advice. If your cot comes with a manual, make sure you go through it prior to using it and adhere to the instructions.
