Look for cot beds that meet safety regulations. To stop your baby's legs from getting trapped in the cot, it is recommended that all cots have bars no more than 6 centimeters apart. Also, ensure that the slats are securely fixed to avoid any loose or damaged fastenings.

It is important that your baby sleeps on a mattress that is comfortable for their cot. Select mattresses made of latex-coated coir or pocket springs that provide the most support and do not sag. You should also invest in a waterproof mattress cover, since any dirt can get into the mattress itself and cause your baby to sweat or feel uncomfortable.

Some cots are also equipped with extra features, such as gentle rocking motions to help your baby settle (like the SNOO Smarter Cot), adjustable inclines that ease reflux, and storage for nappy essentials (like the Mamas&Papas Lua Bedside Cot). These are fantastic accessories, but only buy items that are safe and suitable for your child.

Whatever cot you pick, ensure that it is in compliance with the applicable standards for your baby's age and your home. The bars' spacing should not exceed 6.5cm (two inches) in order to keep children from snagging their heads. Additionally, the surface should not be rough to avoid suffocation.

Although it's tempting to purchase a cot with extra features like built-in storage drawers, as well as sides that can be removed for the bassinet (as with the Mamas and Papas Lua Cot), these should be carefully considered in the light of your budget and your lifestyle.
