How to choose: baby cots

1

Pick the type that fits your life

Bedside cribs keep a newborn within arm's reach and suit the first months. Full-size cots and cot beds last longer, while travel cots fold away for holidays and nights at family's. Many families end up with more than one.

2

Think about growing room

Cot beds and convertible cots turn into a toddler bed as your child grows, so they can be better value over time. Check the dimensions and the age or weight range the maker lists for each stage.

3

Measure your space

Check the room, the doorway and where the cot will stand. Mini and space-saver cots suit smaller rooms, and foldable travel cots should fit your boot and storage space once packed.

4

Mattress and sleep safety

Many cots are sold without a mattress, so check what is included and always use a firm mattress of the right size, as the maker advises. Follow current safe-sleep guidance for your baby's age, and read the assembly instructions carefully.

Baby Cots: common questions

What is the difference between a cot and a cot bed?

A cot is mainly for babies and young toddlers. A cot bed is built to convert into a toddler bed later, which gives it a longer life. Check each product's age range and dimensions.

What is a bedside crib or co-sleeper?

A bedside crib is a small sleeping space that sits next to your bed so your baby is close for night feeds. Each has its own age and weight limit, so check the listing and the manufacturer's guidance.

Does a cot come with a mattress?

Not always. Many cots are sold without one, so check the product details and the mattress size the maker recommends. Always use a firm, correctly fitting mattress.
