Some models convert to an elegant sofa bed for use with older children as well.

To make the most of your space, choose the right model that will fit with your existing bedroom furniture or one that can easily dismantle and reassemble when you want to put in other baby items.

Safety

To ensure the safety of your baby it's important to check that a cot bed meets the UK standards it claims to comply with. Check for the BS EN 716 code, or BS 8509 if it converts into an infant bed. It is also important to ensure that it's the correct size for your nursery and offers enough space to provide a safe sleep for your little one. It should measure 140cm by 70cm, and not have any gaps around the edges or corners.

Make sure that the mattress is flat and firm. If it's soft, old or damaged, this can pose a suffocation risk. Look for any areas of sagging that could pose a danger and test how the mattress springs back after pressing on it. When you press on the middle of a quality cot-mattress it should feel solid.

Make sure the cot is free of any toys, stickers and other items that could be a danger to choking. It's important that babies can be able to move around freely and rotate while they sleep. If your crib has a drop-side check it frequently to ensure that the mechanism locks securely.

Do not put your cot near the heat source or a sunny window. It could become too hot or awake with sunburn.

Babies can get caught by these, and older children may climb up on them or reach out to grab the bars of the cot.

Find a cot that has an adjustable base height to ensure it will last. This feature allows you lower the mattress height to fit your baby's growing needs, while keeping them safe and comfy.

Another design element to keep an eye out for is the capability to remove sections of cot bars. This is a great way to give your child a sense of independence once they start toddle, and will aid them in getting into and out of their bed easily. For more flexibility, some cot beds such as the Leander Luna Baby Cot can be transformed into a comfortable sofa by taking the front off of the bed.
