If you choose an ordinary or convertible cot, the primary factor to satisfaction is a high-quality mattress that is supportive and promotes healthy posture. The same applies to the slats.

Safety

A safe sleeping environment is essential and a big factor when selecting a bed. The mattress should be able to fit snugly and there should be no gaps between the mattress and the sides or ends of the cot or cot-bed (large gaps can hold the child's arms and head). Make sure it's solid and thin - more thick mattresses aren't recommended, since they could increase the risk of SIDS. Many companies sell mattresses in a variety of materials, from foam to natural materials that are great for those suffering from allergies. Some even come with an anti-microbial treatment. If your cot has drop-sides, ensure that it is secured and in the upward position.

A drop side should be allowed to fall only if an adult is present; this will prevent accidental release. Avoid placing your cot against walls if it has a solid end. This could hinder airflow and could result in death of the coffin. Recent research suggests that slatted ends may be safer since they allow more airflow.

If your cot is set on one side, choose it. It will be the most secure choice for your baby when they start to crawl and then pull themselves upwards. When your child is climbing with confidence and standing, it's time to upgrade to a junior bed.

Some cots have a feature that allows the base to be raised up to three different levels. This is a wonderful safety measure and enables your child's cot to grow with their needs. Other cots come with footplates that can be adjusted, which are great for toddlers who want to stand up in their bed.

When you put your child in their cot, make sure that there isn't any visible danger. It must be kept away from heaters, windows, power points and blind cords and curtains (these are a strangulation hazard). When purchasing second-hand furniture, or heirlooms, make sure to check for potential hazards to your child's safety such as labels and transfers. These can peel off and pose a danger.

If you're unsure of how to safely use your cot, ask other parents for advice or take part in an local NCT New Baby class. If your crib comes with a manual ensure that you read it before using it and adhere to the instructions.

If the cot you are using does not meet the UK safety standards outlined by BS EN 716 or BS 8509 (which cover mattress thicknesses, materials, and other essential elements of baby cot mattresses), it is unsafe for babies to sleep. The slats shouldn't be too far apart to stop your baby from falling off.
