There's a lot to consider when picking the right bed for your child. You'll need to take into consideration size, safety, price, and style to ensure that you make the best decision. Check the dimensions of your cot before you purchase. The most common dimensions are 140cm by 70cm. However, this may vary from one brand to the next. Also, you should take into consideration the age range in which a cot is suitable. This will help you decide if it is time to upgrade your child to one bed or a toddler bed when they are ready.

A cot bed is a better alternative, as it can last longer than a standard cot and can be converted into a toddler or small single bed once your Baby Cot is ready. This makes the transition easier for you and your child, and will save you money in the long run.

Cot beds are available in a range of sizes, shapes and finishes, making it essential to choose the best one for your nursery. Choose a cot that fits your space, and be aware that a majority of cots come with removable sides so that your child can play with toys in bed or sit up. If your nursery is small, opt for a cot that is compact and has curves to help you make the most of the space.

If you're not sure about the ideal model for your nursery ask around with friends and family who have children. They can provide valuable insights about their experiences with different models and provide suggestions that are based on their personal experience.

Pine is the most common material for cot beds. It's a soft material which means it is more susceptible to scratches and dents, however, it's also a renewable material and incredibly sturdy. Other options include birch beech and oak, which are hard woods that provide more resistance to wear and tear. Some cots are made of engineered wood. This is a combination of MDF or plywood with the addition of a veneer to provide a more durable and long-lasting surface.

Safety

To ensure that babies sleep in a safe environment, cots and cot-beds must meet new standards for safety and health. These include ensuring that they have no sharp edges, and that the distance between the bars is not greater than 6.5cm. This will prevent infants from climbing out or getting trapped between them, and it also means that they can't use the bars as an incline. If you purchase a second-hand cot or an antique, ensure it has been properly cleaned and meets current safety standards. Older cots might have been painted with lead paint, which is an enigma for children.

A good quality cot must be easy to put together, with clear instructions. It should also require a minimum of tools. Ask your family and friends for assistance if you're not confident in building the Cot Bed Sales by yourself. Also ensure that you be sure to read all safety instructions. Make sure you use a firm mattress that is not too thick and is firmly fitted without gaps. It is recommended cribs to stay clear of bumpers for cots, pillows or any other bedding that is soft that could cause fatal suffocation.

Some cots can be converted into toddler beds, saving you money in the long run, and making the transition from the bed and cot as seamless as is possible. Some are multi-functional and include additional features, such as teething rails or storage drawers. This is a great choice for parents who plan to have more than one child. It will save you money.

When buying a cot, ensure that it is within your budget and is the right size for your nursery. If you are purchasing a infant cot bed for your baby's nursery, consider whether it will be utilized in a room shared by two people or located in your bedroom. If you plan to use the cot in your home be sure that it is placed comfortably. Also, make sure it isn't too close or obstructed by radiators or furniture. Do not place the cot too close to window blind cords as they can pose an injury to strangulation.

Convenience

It's easy to get caught up in spec and safety features when you are buying for your newborn however, don't forget to consider convenience. If you're purchasing a crib bed, you want it to be as simple as possible to move from room to room, and even out into the garden. This is because your baby could be in the crib for longer periods of time than you imagine.

One of the most convenient measures you can take is to choose a cot that can be converted into a bed for toddlers and saves you the cost and hassle of investing in another piece of furniture later. This is a popular choice for parents, but you must be aware that it can cost a bit more than a regular crib.

The John Lewis Elementary cot, which converts to a toddlerbed is a fantastic example of a cot that has a high value. The design is contemporary and simple with open slatted sides that allow you to check on your little one easily. It also has three positions for the mattress to allow your baby to grow and teething rails to provide additional security.

The Mamas & Papas Franklin cot is another top choice, as it comes with a variety of useful features. It comes with a storage drawer and teething rails as well as two height positions. This lets your baby continue using the cot until they are ready for a bed for toddlers. It also comes with the standard size cot mattress, but you'll have to purchase this separately.

Another alternative is another option is the Ickle Bubba Snowdon Classic mini cotbed. This is a stylish Sleigh cot, but it may not be as functional as other alternatives.

Another option is the Great Little Trading Company Little Wren Cot Bed that is stylish and sleek design with a convenient under-bed storage drawer that keeps all the essentials for babies at hand.
