How to Choose the Best Nursery Cots
Cots are a great place to sleep for your little one and provide you with the needed time to relax between feedings, nappy changes and clean-ups. Check out our Canstar Blue reviews for the most suitable nursery cots to make sure that your child gets the best sleep possible.
Some cots are made to adapt to the needs of your child and can be transformed into a toddler bed using a kit. These are perfect for parents who don't want to buy the purchase of a new bed once their child is old enough.
Size
When you're choosing the best bassinet or nursery crib, there are numerous factors to consider. If you're purchasing second-hand, it is important that the bassinet or cot you select has passed all safety tests. You'll need to ensure that the cot doesn't have any sharp edges or protruding corners and also no small gaps that could entrap your baby's head or fingers. You should also choose a cot which meets Australian standards.
The size of your cot will be contingent on the space available and the length it will be used. Standard cots measure 60 cm by 120 cm and are suitable for infants as well as toddlers. However certain cots are designed to transform into a toddler bed or a children's single bed, so they can be used for a longer period of time. This is a great option if you want to avoid buying a brand new bed each time you have children.
Many cots have adjustable height settings so you can alter the mattress to fit your baby's growing body. The adjustable height can be set from 3 to 5 levels, depending on the design. Some cots allow you to take off one side of the bed completely, which is useful when your baby is beginning to walk, or you'd like to experiment with co-sleeping with your little toddler.
Small cots are usually equipped with castors or wheels that make them easy to move between rooms. These are useful when you live in a small home and don't have a nursery. They can also serve as a travel cot when you are planning to travel out of the house with your child, or if you need to move them between homes of family members to celebrate holidays. Some cots can be transformed into an infant bed or sofa. This allows your child to sleep with you and gives you peace of mind that they're secure and in your reach.
Style
The cot is the most important furniture piece you'll purchase for your baby. It must be strong and secure. It should be free of sharp edges protruding from the sides and no areas where a child's arms, fingers or head could become entangled. Also, a cot should be in compliance with Australian cot standards. Avoid purchasing second-hand cots since they might not meet the current safety standards.
Cots are available in a variety of styles and colors to match any decor. They can even be decorated with a variety of accessories, including the cot mobile. These mobiles add contrasting colours and patterns to the crib, drawing your infant's attention and stimulating their sensory development. They can also help your baby sleep longer and soothe them during their quiet time.
Wicker cots are also popular. It is a material that brings back memories of simpler times, and is perfect for a natural themed room. Its simple style makes it an excellent option for babies of all age groups, and it's typically less expensive than other types of cots. If you decide to purchase a wicker crib, be sure that it is made of high-quality materials, and it is in compliance with all safety standards.
There are also a variety of different designs and colors for cots. Some cots come with a built-in storage area. This is a great way to store all of your baby's essentials like nappies, clothing, bedding and other items. Some cots come with legs which lift them off the floor, which helps to keep them clean and also prevents them from being exposed to dust and other germs.
Some cots can convert into a toddler bed that can be used until your child is around six years old. This feature is especially useful for families planning to have more children or wish to save money by purchasing multiple beds for a growing family. The Leander cot can be converted into a toddler bed which will last until they reach age 7. This option can save you a lot of time and money in the long run.
Safety
When looking for a cot for your nursery, pick one that is constructed from sturdy materials. It should have a sturdy base and solid sides, with no gaps that could allow fingers to become stuck in the slats. Check for furniture that has non-toxic finishes that don't chip or peel.

Some parents prefer to use a Moses basket, crib or cot instead of a traditional bed. These are perfect for newborns because they offer a secure place to sleep in for the baby without having to leave him alone. If your baby is too big for this item, you can use the cot top to move them out of these smaller spaces.
In addition, to ensure that your child's crib is safe, it is important to follow sleep guidelines to decrease the chance of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). NHS UK recommends using a firm mattress and avoiding loose blankets, pillows and toys which could lead to suffocation.
Other potential dangers include dressers, bookshelves and other storage furniture that can tip over if the curious child leans against or climbs up on them. Make sure that large pieces are securely fixed to the wall and frequently examined for stability. Keep heavier objects at the on the bottom of drawers and shelves to spread the weight out and prevent injuries.
Choking hazards are another danger in the nursery. Children love to nibble on corners, slats or other elements of the rails for the cot. You can prevent these risks by purchasing a cot with smooth corners and edges that are not protruding or removing these elements once your child is old enough to stand up on their own.
In addition it is recommended to avoid using any wall-mounted ornaments or clocks with lengthy cords close to the cot. Children and infants are at risk of strangulation when they get their hands or feet trapped in these cords. Position cots far away from windows with long cords on blinds or curtains that could lead to a fall.
