Safety

A secure sleeping space is an essential consideration when choosing a cot. The mattress should be able to fit snugly and there should be no gaps between the mattress and the edges or sides of the cot/cot-bed (large gaps can restrict the child's arms or head). Verify that the mattress is firm and thin. Thick mattresses could increase the risk of SIDS. Many companies offer mattresses in a variety of materials from foam to natural materials that are good for those suffering from allergies. Some even have an anti-microbial treatment. If your cot features drop-sides, make sure it is secured and in the upward position.

A drop side should be allowed to drop only if an adult is present, to prevent accidental release. Avoid placing your cot against walls if it has an end that is solid. This will hinder airflow and could result in death of the coffin. According to the most recent research, slatted end cots are safer since they permit more airflow.

If your cot is set on one side, choose it. It will be the safest option for your baby when they begin to crawl and pull themselves upward. Once your child is confidently standing and climbing, it is a sign that they're ready to transition into the junior bed.

When you place your child's cot be sure that there aren't any obvious dangers. It should be put away from power and heater points. Also be sure to keep it away from windows, curtains and blind cords. These can all pose a strangulation risk. If you're purchasing furniture from a secondhand store or an heirloom piece be sure to look for any choking hazards like stickers and transfer tapes that could peel off and present danger.

If you're unsure about how to use your cot in a safe manner consult other parents or attend an local NCT New Baby course for support and advice. If your cot comes with instructions, read them carefully before you begin using it, and be sure to follow the safety guidelines closely.
