Safety

When choosing a cot a safe sleeping environment should be a priority. The mattress should fit snugly and there should be no gaps between the mattress and the edges or sides of the cot/cot-bed (large gaps can hold the child's arms and head). Check that the mattress is firm and thin. Mattresses that are too thick could increase the risk of SIDS. Many companies offer a range of mattresses, from simple foam to natural substances for allergy sufferers. Some come with anti-microbial treatment. If your cot has an inclined side, make sure that it is in the up position and secured.

A drop side should only be allowed to go down only if an adult is present, this will prevent accidental release. Avoid placing your cot on walls if it has an end that is solid. This can restrict airflow, which can lead to coffin death. Recent research suggests that slatted edges could be safer because they allow for more airflow.
