Cot beds are available in a range of sizes, shapes and finishes, so it's crucial to find the right fit for your nursery cots. Choose a cot that fits your space.

Safety

Cots and cots must comply with new health and safety standards to ensure that children sleep in a safe environment. These include ensuring that they don't have sharp edges, and that the distance between the bars is no greater than 6.5cm. This will prevent children from climbing over or becoming stuck between the bars. They also cannot use them as a ladder. If you are purchasing an antique or second-hand cot, it is important to ensure that it is in compliance to current safety standards and has been thoroughly cleaned. Older cots may have been painted with lead paint, which can pose an enigma for children.

A high-quality cot will be easy to assemble with clear instructions and a minimum of tools. Ask your family and friends for help when you're not confident about making the cot yourself.

Some cots are designed to be converted into toddler beds, thereby saving money in the long run and making the transition from cot and bed as seamless as is possible.

When buying a cot, make sure it fits your budget and is the perfect size for your nursery.

Also, be careful not to place the cot near window blind cords since they could be a risk of strangulation.
