5 tips for choosing the perfect baby cot

By Voucherix-C Leave a Comment

Your newborn will quickly outgrow their first bed. Once babies learn to roll and pull themselves up, cribs and moses baskets become unsuitable. Follow our tips to choose the ideal bed for your bundle of joy. Safety is just as important as aesthetics, so you need a beautiful cot that is also strong and sturdy.

What design is best?

If you want remarkable design and reliability, luxury baby cots are the best bet. You can find a versatile and durable piece of furniture with classical or original aesthetics, gorgeous bespoke artwork, etc. Premium products with an adjustable base may be used until the age of 4.5 years! The perfect cot for your baby will meet these criteria:

1. Adjustable mattress height

Cots with adjustable height are suitable for newborns and toddlers. When your baby is young, you need easy access, so a high position is required. As they get older, you can lower the base to prevent them from climbing out of the cot. Three-level products are standard.

2. Under-bed storage

If your space is limited, choose a cot with storage options, such as a big pull-out drawer. This is a practical solution: you can open it with your foot while holding the baby. Store clothes and bedding in the drawer to keep the nursery clutter-free.

3. Cot-top changer

Another way to save space is to slot a changing unit on top of the cot rails. The accessory is used with a change mat, and it is often sold separately. This is a practical and convenient solution during changes or when drying your baby off after bath time.

4. Teething rails

Babies love to explore. They also love gnawing their cots, particularly when they are teething. Get a jersey or plastic rail to keep your baby safe and prevent damage to the cot.

5. Drop-down sides

Sides that slide or fold down allow you to lift your baby out more easily. If you suffer from back pain, this feature is particularly useful. You can adjust the base to a lower or higher position easily.

Extra tip: Travel cots

A cot for traveling is ideal for weekend getaways and trips abroad. It is a lightweight bed where your baby can sleep in. There are standard, tent-style, and pop-up models. The most robust ones are collapsible, but these cots are also heavier.

Choosing a mattress: Top tips

The BSI number, as per BS EN 716:2008, confirms that the product meets all safety requirements. Make sure the size is correct, so there will be no space between the mattress and the sides. If the gap is larger than 4 cm, your baby may get stuck.

Make sure the mattress provides good breathability to prevent overheating. If your baby has allergies, consider getting a mattress made of natural materials like bamboo. Such products are antibacterial and moisture-wicking.
