The cot will be the baby's bed until attains the age of four. So you want it to be comfortable, sturdy and safe.

Make sure that it has a gap-free mattress, because gaps can be an suffocation hazard for infants. Also consider an adjustable cot.

Single Cot

The OEX Ultralite folding cot is among the lightest options available on the market. It weighs 2.68kg and is almost half the cost of the Helinox version I tested. It's also much simpler to set up - the two primary poles snap together like unusually large tent poles with shock cords to keep them arranged, then they slide easily into sleeves that fit on their legs and you just have to place your feet in them to make the sleeping area.

It can be difficult to take apart. You need to be strong to take the legs off and then it's a bit of work to dismantle the frame. It's only a minor complaint and I'm convinced that it's the lightest frame I've tested.

If you're looking for something that's a little more robust and permanent, then take an examination of the various models of cot beds on the market. If you opt for this option, you will need to purchase a separate bed for your child in several years.

A double cot is great for twins who are just born or siblings who will need to sleep together.

It comes with multiple support areas so you can customize it to meet your child's requirements.

The majority of health professionals recommend cot beds as they provide the greatest protection for your child. The bed is designed to be used until your child is 2 years. After that, it needs to be changed to a toddler or junior bed.

This is the only cot that we tested that has an adjustable base. The lowest setting is ideal from birth and the highest for when your baby is able to roll over. This is a vital feature as children may choke if their heads get trapped between gaps or protrusions in the cot.

The only downside to this cot is that it's not the most portable, as it requires a large amount of effort to fold it and can be quite fussy when you try to put the legs in a proper position. It's also the biggest cot we've reviewed, and can be heavy to carry if you have to move it from its storage location.

They are usually lower than beds and have a base that is able to be raised to suit your baby's developmental stage. A lot of cots and tots have a drop side which allows you to co-sleep in a safe manner with your newborn, making it easier to have nighttime feeds. Some cots offer the option of removing one side completely which allows you to use it like an infant bassinet. This is a more secure option than co-sleeping with your cheap baby cots in your bed.

Some cots also have extra features that can make life a little easier for parents, such as a handy drawer beneath the cot which is ideal for storage or to keep your essential items close at hand, anti-bite plastic rails that are placed on top of the cot to safeguard teething babies, and a removable riser leg that can be used to create a slight incline for babies with reflux. One of our cots we love is the Silver Cross Westport Cot Bed, which is beautiful to look at with its minimalist Scandi style and oak finish but it is also extremely practical, with three height settings for the mattress, and it being able to convert into a toddler bed when your child is ready.

It is crucial that your baby has a restful night's sleep. So, it is worthwhile to take the time to choose the right cot or cradle for your child. Attend an NCT New Baby Course to discover more about the options available and discuss these with other parents as well as an experienced group leader.

When buying a cot there are a lot of things to take into consideration. This includes the cot's depth and sides, its storage capacity, whether the cot has a removable hood, and if it comes with bedding. Double check the dimensions of your baby's crib or cot to ensure that it will fit in your nursery or bedroom. Make sure there's enough space for your baby to move about and that it's not too close to heat sources or windows.

Quadruple Cot

If you're expecting triplets or twins then you'll need a quadruple cot. These large cots can accommodate four babies simultaneously and include bedding sets to aid in getting your children up and ready for bed. Many also feature an end rail that can be removed, to allow you to place your child near you as they sleep. If you have kids of your own you might consider models with a bunk bed that can be transformed into one bed.

Many cots have an adjustable mattress which can be moved upwards and downwards to meet your baby cot online's height. This is a great solution to consider if you're worried that your child could fall asleep in the night. It's an excellent idea when your child begins to stand. Some crib mattresses are made from natural materials such as wool or cotton. However, you can also find models made with polyurethane.

Select a cot with mesh sides. This allows air to circulate to keep your baby cool. Make sure you check the length of the bars too, as these should not be more than 6.5cm apart to stop your baby from climbing out. Avoid cots with solid feet and head boards as they can trap clothing or legs.

Another important consideration is how easy it is to clean. Find out if it's machine washable, and what the care instructions are for the fabric as well as any removable parts. Also, you'll need to think about whether your existing bedding for your cot is suitable or if you'll have to purchase specialized sheets for travel cots.

Babies require a lot of toys such as nappies (which can quickly become a burden!) bedding, clothing and other toys. A cot with storage, like the Obaby Stamford Space Saver Cot will allow you to keep everything neatly organised and easily accessible.
