best cots and tots for newborns (www.kdeventsandpublishing.com)

A cot is an elevated bed for your child, which prevents them from falling out. They are available in a variety of styles, from bedside cribs (bassinet-style cribs that attach to your side of the bed for secure co-sleeping) to travel cribs.

The mom tester Jasmin appreciated the storage compartment in the cot that is perfect for sheets and blankets. It's also easy to set up and includes an incline setting to reduce reflux.

1. Mamas&Papas Franklin Cot Bed

Cot beds can be the best friend of parents. They keep baby snug, and (hopefully) asleep soundly. But when shopping for one there's plenty to consider, from spec and safety to design and style. And a good cot needs to last through the newborn stage and into toddlerhood, so durability is crucial. This crib is stylish, durable and meets all the latest guidelines. It's also reasonably priced and comes with a mattress included.

Mamas&Papas has a knack for creating practical and stylish nursery furniture and this cot is no exception. It's a contemporary choice for baby's first bedroom, with a modern grey finish that'll match any colour scheme. It can also be converted into a cool daybed or a toddler bed for long-term use. It comes with two heights for the base which makes it easier for babies to reach and more secure than a traditional drop-side cot. It's shaped base allows it to fit through doors of all sizes, which is a great benefit for parents with a tight schedule. There's a matching changer/dresser to keep the essentials for your baby to hand.

2. SnuzFino Cot Bed

This cot is designed to follow your baby from newborn up to about four years old. It comes with two mattress levels, so you can begin with a lower base and then lower it as the baby grows and learns to sit up on their own. It was awarded Gold in the Mother&Baby awards 2024 for the best cots cot, crib or Moses basket, and is a top rated cots pick for parents.

This cot is more streamlined than the other models we've tested. It's also ideal for smaller spaces. It also comes with a convenient side door, allowing you to access it easily for feeding, nappies or changing. Parents were impressed by how easy it was to set up and our tester took only 12 minutes to get it set up and ready for use.

Find cot beds that comply with safety standards. To prevent your baby's legs from getting trapped, all cots should have bars that are no more than 6 centimeters apart. Also, make sure that the slats are firmly secured to prevent any loose or damaged fastenings.

It is essential that your baby sleeps on a mattress that is comfortable for their cot. Choose mattresses that are coated with latex or pocket springs that provide the best support and do not sag. Also, you should purchase an waterproof mattress cover as any dirt will get into the mattress itself and cause your child to sweat or feel uncomfortable.

Some cots have additional bonuses such as adjustable inclines to ease reflux, and storage for the nappy essentials (such as the Mamas&Papas Lua Bedside Cot). These are a great alternative, but be sure to only purchase items that are safe and are suitable for your baby.

3. Graco SnuzFino Bedside Crib

This crib is perfect if you intend to use it right from birth and keep it near your bed as baby sleeps. It's compact design fits through doors that have standard frames, and weighs only 6kg. This makes it simple to move around your home. It is also easy to get up and go down, making it perfect for nappy changing.

One of our mom test participants described it as "exceedingly easy to put together." Its light-weight construction lets you easily move it from room to room or even take it on a trip if you wish. Its distinct design is popular with new parents who want to be able to easily access their infant during the first few days. It also comes with the cover for a reflux wedge and a mattress with a fitted cover and a mattress, both of which are useful features.

The Toddler Kit will also allow it to convert into a toddler bed, which is great for parents since it will last for as long as your child requires it. It's a beautiful cot bed with Scandi-inspired styles that will look lovely in your nursery. It's also good value for money when you consider the length of time it will be used for.

Another great alternative is this simple solid pine cot, which is suitable from birth to three years and costs just PS372. Our test subjects loved the stylish design of the panel. It's simple to put together, and has a handy storage drawer, a rail for teething and adjustable height settings that help keep your baby safe. Its small size makes it an ideal option for people with low ceilings or small areas. Its robust construction means it will last for an extended period of time and not break like some cribs.

4. Babyletto Bedside Crib

This bedside crib allows parents to cuddle their baby close to them just before the time to go to bed. The NHS suggests that babies be placed in a separate room for the first six months, however many parents find it relaxing to have their child close before they go to sleep.

This babyletto cot Babyletto is made from non-toxic paints in a vast variety of colors, so you can make it a part of your bedroom or nursery decor. It's also a good choice for parents with sloping ceilings who don't want a cot taking up a lot of floor space. It can be adjusted to 11 different heights and can be tilted in four positions, including an incline that helps with reflux.

It's also a solidly built design that will last well into the toddler years. One tester's mother said that her baby had been sleeping in the cot for 2 babies and was still in good condition to pass it on to her younger.

Another advantage is that this cot is small and compact, which makes it easy to set up and move around if needed. It's an ideal fit for parents with smaller spaces and can also be used as a travel cot, too. It was easy to assemble and the testers loved the storage drawer, which held all of your baby's essentials. It's a bit pricey, but worth the investment for the look and functionality. You'll need to purchase an additional mattress for this crib. We suggest settling for an airy, firm mattress that fits snugly to stop your baby from becoming trapped. It should be a few inches smaller than the frame of the cot to stop your child from being able to climb out.

5. SnuzFino Bedside Cot

The SnuzFino is one of the more stylish cots on our list however it's not just about appearances. With two height settings for the mattress the cot can see your newborn through their first 18 months. It can transform into a toddler bed with the addition of an (available separately) toddler kit. The design is timeless and stylish, and our test-run showed that it is suitable for any nursery - especially if you opt for a matching changing unit and wardrobe.

Whatever cot you choose, be sure that it complies with the regulations applicable to your baby's age and home. The distance between bars should not exceed 6.5cm (2 inches) which will stop the baby's head from getting trapped. The surface must be smooth to reduce the risk of suffocation. Also, you'll need to purchase an appropriate cot mattress which should fit perfectly with no gaps at the edges and be made from breathable materials that ensure that your baby's temperature is kept in check.

It's tempting, but take a close look at your budget and lifestyle prior to purchasing a cot that comes with additional features like built-in storage and side panels that can be removed from the bassinet (as the Mamas and Papas Lua Cot). The most suitable cots allow your child to rest comfortably and securely. There are all-in one cot beds with plenty of storage that don't cost a lot.

If you're looking to find a high-tech option then the SNOO Smart Sleeper crib comes with a built-in sensor which responds to the baby's cry and gently rock their body to sleep in a motion that resembles the womb of their mother. The price is a little steep, but it could be worth it for babies who are prone to fussiness.
