This is also true for the slats, which should be secured and not sagging or bent.

Safety

A safe and secure sleeping environment is an essential consideration when choosing a crib. Make sure that the mattress is snug and has no gaps between it and the cot's beds edges or sides (big gaps can restrict your child's head or arms). Check that the mattress is firm and thin. Mattresses that are thick can increase the risk of SIDS. Many companies sell mattresses in a variety of materials from foam to natural materials that are suitable for those suffering from allergies. Some even have an anti-microbial treatment. If your mattress 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. If your coffin has a solid bottom, avoid placing it against the wall as it can block airflow and may contribute to death in the coffin. The latest research suggests that slatted ends could be safer as they permit more airflow.

If your crib has a fixed edge choose this option as it's safer when your child starts to crawl and then pull themselves up. When your child is confidently standing and climbing, it is a sign that they are ready to move into a junior bed.

Some cots have a feature that allows the base to be raised to three levels. This is a fantastic safety measure and enables your child's cot to grow with them. Some cots come with adjustable footplates that are ideal for toddlers who like to stand up.

Whenever you place your child in their cot, make sure that there isn't any obvious danger - it must be kept away from heaters, windows, power points and blind cords and curtains (these pose a strangulation risk). If you're purchasing furniture from a secondhand store or an heirloom piece Be sure to check for potential choking hazards like stickers and transfers that can be removed and pose a risk.

If you're unsure about how to use your cot in a safe manner, ask other parents or visit a local NCT New Baby course for assistance and guidance. If your cot has an instruction manual, read it carefully before you start using it, and then follow the safety guidelines closely.

Stores

The amount of baby stuff you need is overwhelming, regardless of whether you're a new mom or a seasoned one. This is why it's essential to think about storage options when choosing a cot bed.
