Safety

A safe sleeping environment is an essential factor when selecting a bed. The mattress should be snugly fitted and there should be no gaps between the mattress and the ends or sides of the cot/cot-bed (large gaps can restrict the child's arms or head). Make sure the mattress is not too firm and thin. Mattresses that are too thick can increase the risk of SIDS. Many companies sell mattresses in various materials from foam to natural materials that are good cribs for allergy sufferers. Some even come with an anti-microbial treatment. If your cot has a drop side, ensure that it is in the up position and secured.

Drop sides should only be allowed down when an adult is in the room. This prevents accidental release. Avoid placing your cot on the wall if it is an end that is solid. This could restrict airflow, which can lead to coffin death. Recent research suggests that slatted edges could be safer since they allow more airflow.

If your cot is fixed to one side, you should choose it. It will be the most secure choice for your child when they begin to crawl and pull themselves up. When your child is confidently climbing and standing, it's time to move to a junior bed.

When you place your child's cot, make sure there aren't any visible dangers. It should be placed away from power and heater points. Also make sure it is away from windows, curtains, and blind cords. These can all create strangulation risks. When purchasing second-hand furniture, or heirlooms, be sure to look out for choking hazards such as stickers and transfers. They can come off and pose a danger.
