Safety

When selecting a cot, an environment that is safe for sleeping should be the top priority. The mattress should be snugly fitted and there shouldn't be gaps between the mattress and the ends or sides of the cot or cot-bed (large gaps can restrict the child's arms or head). Check that it's solid and thin - more thick mattresses aren't recommended as they may increase the risk of SIDS. There are many companies that offer mattresses made of a variety of materials, from foam to natural materials that are good for allergy sufferers. Some even come with an anti-microbial treatment. If your crib has drop sides, make sure it is in the up position and secured.

A drop side should be allowed to drop only if an adult is present - to prevent accidental release. Do not place your cot against walls if it has an end that is solid. This could restrict airflow, which can cause death in the coffin. According to the latest research, slatted end cots could be safer as they allow for more airflow.
