The SnuzFino crib was the top rated cots choice from our parent testers with mum Katrina noting "I love the toddler set that really helps extend the life of the cot". It's also vacuum-rolled to make it simple to put up.

Size

When you are choosing the right bed for your child, there are a lot of things to consider. To make the best decision you should think about safety, style, price, and size. Check the dimensions of your cot before you purchase. The most common dimensions are 140cm by 70cm. However, this can vary from one brand to the next. It is also important to be aware of the age range for which cots are suitable. This will help you decide whether to upgrade your child's bed to a single bed or toddler bed once they are ready.

A cot-bed is a versatile option since it can be converted into an infant bed or a small single bed when your child is old enough. This makes the transition much easier for both you and your child and help you save money.

Cot beds come in many different dimensions, shapes, and finishes. It is important to select the best one for your nursery. Choose a cot that is suitable for the space. Also, keep in mind that most cots have removable sides to let your baby play with toys or curl up in bed. If your nursery is small in space, choose a compact cot that has curved edges.

If you're not sure about the perfect fit for your nursery ask around with relatives and friends who have children. They can provide valuable insights about their experiences with different models and provide recommendations based on personal experiences. You can also look up online reviews to gain an understanding of how other parents discovered the cot bed they've purchased.

Pine is the most commonly used material for cot beds. It's a softwood which means it is more prone to dent and scratches, but it's also highly renewable and extremely durable. Other options include birch beech and oak as hard woods that provide greater resistance to wear and tear. Some cots are constructed from engineered wood which is a combination of plywood or MDF with a veneer of wood in order to give a more durable finish.

Safety

To ensure that babies are sleeping in a secure and safe environment, cots and cot-beds must meet the latest standards for safety and health. They must also be free of sharp edges, and the bar's distance should not exceed 6.5cm. This will prevent children from climbing out or becoming trapped between them, and it also means that they can't use the bars as ladders. If you are buying a second-hand cot, or an family heirloom, be sure it has been cleaned thoroughly and is in compliance with current safety standards. Older cots may have been sprayed with lead paint, which poses a hazard to young children.

A good quality cot will be easy to assemble with clear instructions and a minimum of tools. If you are not able to put it together yourself, ask friends and family for advice and make sure you go over any safety guidelines thoroughly. Be sure to choose a firm mattress that is not too heavy and is firmly fitted without gaps. Avoid using cot bumpers, pillows or any other type of soft bedding as they can cause fatal suffocation.

Some cots can convert into toddler beds, saving money in the long run and making the transition from the bed and cot as seamless as is possible. Some are multifunctional, with extra features like teething rails, storage drawers, and even a crib. This is a great choice if you plan to have more than one child. It can 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 crib for your baby's nursery, think about whether it will be placed in a shared space or within your own bedroom. If the cot is within your own space, measure the space to ensure it is a good cribs fit and is not too close to radiators or other furniture. Also, avoid placing the cot near cords for window blinds as they could pose a strangulation risk.

Convenience

When you're shopping for a baby it's easy to concentrate on safety and the spec features. But don't forget the ease of use. You want to make sure that the cot you purchase is easy to move from room to room, and even to the garden. This is because the baby will be sleeping in the cot for longer than you'd expect, and it's important to make sure that it's convenient for you.

You can save time and money by choosing a cot which transforms into a toddler bed. This is a popular choice for many parents, but it's worth bearing in mind that it's slightly more expensive than the standard cot.

The John Lewis Elementary cot is an excellent example of a high-quality cot that converts into a toddlerbed. The design is modern and simple with slatted sides that allow you to observe your child. It also features three mattress height positions to allow your baby to grow and teething rails to provide additional security.

Another top pick is the Mamas & Papas Franklin cot that includes a variety of handy extras. In addition to a convenient storage drawer and teething rails it has two height positions to let your baby continue to use the cot until they're ready for a toddler bed. It also takes a standard cot mattress, although you will require a separate purchase.

You could also think about the Boori Eton Convertible Plus Cot Bed which goes one step further than converting to an infant bed. It can also be converted into a sofa or a daybed, giving you even more flexibility.

Another alternative is the Ickle Bubba Snowdon Classic Cotbed. It's a chic sleigh cot bed sales, but it may not be as useful as other options. For one, it's only suitable for babies up to the point that they're two and doesn't come with an attached sheet (you need to purchase this separately). It's also easy to put together and you can get matching furniture from the manufacturer.

Style

Cot beds come in a variety of styles, including traditional sleigh and modern minimalist designs. Your personal preference and the style of your nursery will determine which design you select. You might consider adding additional features like an under-bed storage space rails for teething or dropping sides for babies.

When selecting a cot bed, it is important to remember that if you are going for a design that has bars, the distance between the bars shouldn't exceed 6.5cm or there is the possibility of limbs getting trapped in the bars. All cots and cot beds sold in the UK must meet the safety standard BS EN716-1:2008+A1:2013.

A few of the cots we tested had removable bars, which allow older children to be more independent, while still being secure. For instance the Cam Cam Copenhagen Harlequin Cot can be transformed into a day or toddler bed by attaching an adapter kit (sold separately). This allows it to be used from birth until the age of four, which will save you the cost of buying a separate Toddler Bed.

Another alternative is the Great Little Trading Company Little Wren Cot Bed, which is sleek and stylish. It's a stylish Sleigh design that has a useful under-bed storage drawer for keeping everything a baby needs at hand. Our tester described it as being a doddle to put together, and also found that it has plenty of space for toys and bedding. It includes teething bars as well as an adjustable base that can be adjusted to three different heights.

The Stokke Sleepi Cot Bed is another sleigh model that can be expanded to form an infant bed by using the junior conversion kit and mattress extender (sold separately). It is a great investment since it will last your child until they reach the age of five old. However, it is not one of the most affordable cots on our list.
