+
+Safety
+
+A safe and secure sleeping environment is essential and a big aspect to consider when choosing a cot. The mattress should fit snugly and there shouldn't be gaps between the mattress and the edges or sides of the cot or cot-bed (large gaps could hold the child's arms and head). Verify that the mattress is firm and thin. Mattresses that are thick could increase the risk of SIDS. Many companies offer a range of mattresses, ranging from basic foam to natural materials suitable for allergy sufferers. Some come with anti-microbial treatment. If your mattress has an inclined side, make sure it is in the upward position and secured.
+
+Drop sides should only be allowed to fall when an adult is in the room. This prevents accidental releases. If your cot has a solid end do not place it against the wall as it will block airflow and can cause coffin death. Recent research suggests that slatted ends could be safer because they allow for more airflow.
+
+If your cot is fixed on one side, then you can choose it. It's the safest option for your child when they begin to crawl and then pull themselves upwards. When your child is standing and climbing, this is a sign they're ready to transition into a junior bed.
+
+Some cots come with a feature where the base can be raised to three different levels to allow it to increase with your child's growth This is extremely practical and a great safety measure. Some cots also have footplates that can be adjusted, which are ideal for toddlers who wish to sit up in their bed.
+
+Whenever you place your child in their cot, check that there isn't any visible danger - it must be away from heat sources, power points, windows, curtains and  [www.Cots4tots.co.Uk](https://www.cots4tots.co.uk/) blind cords (these can be strangulation hazards). If you are buying second-hand furniture or heirlooms to check for dangers to your child's health such as stickers and transfers. These can peel off and pose a danger.
+
+If you are unsure about how to use your cot, ask other parents for help or attend a local NCT New Baby class. If your cot comes with a guide ensure that you read it before using it and adhere to the directions.
+
+Style
+
+With its beautiful sleigh design, this gorgeous cot bed will look amazing in your nursery. Our panel loved the mix of white and natural pine, and its clever features, such as drawers under the bed to store all the baby necessities like bedding, nappies and a dazzling variety of baby outfits. It's also easy to assemble, with concise instructions and separate packs of screws for each section. It could also be transformed into a toddler desk or bed when your child gets older (see product description for more information).
+
+One of our favourite features are the teething rails which protect your baby from bumping their head on the side of the cot or any protruding parts of the cot like handles or a corner post, and which also help stop them chewing on the wood, which prevents them from becoming in danger of being suffocated. The cot also has a drop-side to allow you to get access to your baby. We appreciate that the cot could be converted into a toddler bed, and that it's sturdy enough to last for four years. It also meets the strict UK safety standards, which can be found in the main specifications beneath each product.
+
+Cot beds can be transformed into toddler beds if your child is old enough. This allows you to avoid purchasing a new bed when your child is ready to go up. They may cost more than cribs.
+
+If your nursery is small, you may be considering a crib. It is smaller and takes less space. However, if you plan to spend a lot of your baby's time in the room or you need an item that lasts longer, you should opt for a cot.
+
+A cot isn't suitable for babies to sleep in if it does not meet the strict UK safety standards set out in BS EN 716 and BS 8509, which deals with the thickness of mattresses, the materials used and other important elements of cot mattresses for babies. The slats must not be too far apart to stop your child from falling out.
+
+Stores
+
+No matter if you're a first-time parent or an experienced one the amount of items the baby will require is immense. It's important to consider storage when selecting a cot. Some cots come with additional storage options, including drawers underneath the bed or a coordinating top changer (available separately). Some can be transformed to a toddler or a small single bed, which can extend their usability for longer.
+
+Some cot beds can be transformed into a daybed like this one on the Cam Cam Copenhagen Harlequin Cot. This is a great choice for those who prefer an unstructured design since the conversion process is fairly simple and involves the removal of one side panel. This also allows parents to save money on a separate bed.
+
+Some cot beds are equipped with a hanging rail that can be used to hang muslins and Dummies along with other small objects. This makes it easier to keep everything organized, neat and tidy and also looks fantastic. These items are easily accessible to parents and make it easier for them to feed their baby.
+
+Another feature worth looking out for is a teething rail which is included with some cots. This will help stop your child from chewing on the wood that can cause irritation. Some cots are designed in an older style and come with a large under-bed storage drawer which is ideal for storing toys, blankets clothing, and other baby necessities.
+
+This is a great solution if space is an issue, but you will have to purchase a drawer on your own. You may also need to purchase a different mattress and bedding since sheets and mattresses that are oval are not typically included with the cot itself.
+
+This sleigh-style cot bed an exquisite illustration of Scandi style at its finest.

Our panel was able to find it easy to put together thanks to alphabetically labelled parts and clear instructions.
