When choosing a cot bed, look for ones that conform to safety regulations. All cots should have bars that are no more than 6.5cm apart to ensure that your baby's limbs don't get caught. Make sure the slats on your cot are securely attached to prevent any loose or fittings that are rusty.

A high-quality mattress for your cot is essential for the comfort of your baby. Look for pockets springs or latex coated Coir mattresses as they provide the most support and don't sag like foams. It is worth investing in a waterproof cover, too because any dirt will get into the mattress and cause your baby to sweat or be uncomfortable.

Some cots include additional bonuses such as adjustable inclines to ease reflux, and storage space for diapers (such as the Mamas&Papas Lua Bedside Cot). These are great additions, but only purchase items that are suitable and safe for your child.
