Best Cots For Newborns

A cot is a bed that is elevated for your child that prevents them from falling out. There are numerous styles available including bedside cribs to travel cots to tots.

The mother tester Jasmin loved the cot's storage space which is ideal for sheets and blankets. It's also easy to set up and has an incline setting to reduce reflux.

1. Mamas&Papas Franklin Cot Bed

Cot beds are a new parent's best friend, ensuring that the baby warm and (hopefully) sleeping soundly. When looking for a crib, there are a lot of things to take into consideration. From safety and spec to design and style. A good cot should last from newborn to toddlerhood. Therefore, durability is crucial. This cot is sleek, sturdy and is in compliance with the most current regulations. It is also reasonably priced, and comes with a mattress.

This cot is an excellent example of how Mamas&Papas can create chic and practical nursery cots furniture. It's a modern choice for a baby's first room, with an elegant grey finish that will match any colour scheme. It can also be transformed into a cool daybed or toddler bed for longer-term use. It comes with two heights of the base making it easier to reach baby and safer than a standard drop-side cot. And it's designed with a shaped base so it fits through the majority of doors, which is a huge benefit for stressed parents. It even comes with a dresser/changer that will keep your baby's essentials close at hand.

2. SnuzFino Cot Bed

This cot is designed to follow your baby from birth to around four years old. It has two mattress levels, so you can begin with a lower base and then lower it as the baby grows and learns how to sit on their own. It won Gold in the Mother&Baby awards in 2024 for the best cot, crib sets or Moses basket and is a top pick for parents.

This cot is more sleek than other models we've tested. It's also ideal for smaller rooms. It also features a handy side door that lets you get in easily to feed, nappies and changing. Our tester only took 12 minutes to put together the cot.

Make sure that the cot bed you choose conform to safety regulations. To prevent your baby's legs from getting trapped the cot should have bars that are not more than 6 centimeters apart. Also, make sure that the slats are firmly secured to prevent any loose or damaged fastenings.

A good quality cot mattress is also key for your baby's comfort. Find pocket springs or latex coated Coir mattresses, since they offer the best support and don't sag like foams. It is worth investing in a waterproof cover, too, as any soiling will be absorbed directly into the mattress and could cause your baby to sweat or be uncomfortable.

Some cots are also equipped with additional features like gentle rocking movements to help settle your baby (like the SNOO Smarter Cot), adjustable inclines to ease reflux and storage for the nappy essentials (like the Mamas&Papas Lua Bedside Cot). These are wonderful additions, but only purchase items that are safe and suitable for your child.

3. Graco SnuzFino Bedside Crib

If you want an infant cot bed crib that can be used from birth and put close to your bed while your the baby sleeps, this might be what you're searching for. It's a small design that can easily fit through doors with standard frames and weighs only 6kg, so it's easy to move around your home. It's also a breeze to get up and down it, which is ideal for changing nappy.

One of our mom test subjects described it as "exceedingly easy to put together." Its lightweight design lets you easily move it from room to room or even take it on a trip if you wish. Its stand-alone design is popular with new parents who want to access their baby easily in the beginning stages of their child's development. It comes with a comfortable mattress and a cover for the reflux wedge that are both beneficial features.

It also converts to a toddler bed when you purchase the included Toddler Kit (PS70), which is a great benefit for parents as it it will last until your child is ready to transition from the cot. This is a beautiful cot bed with a Scandi style. It will look stunning in your nursery.

Another great alternative is this simple solid pine cot, which is suitable from birth to 3 years and costs only PS372. Our testers loved its stylish paneled appearance. It's simple to put together and has an easy-to-use storage drawer, teething rail and height settings that are adjustable. They can be helpful in keeping your newborn safe. It's small size makes it a great option for those who have sloped ceilings or smaller spaces. Its strong construction ensures that it will last for many years and will not break like some cot-beds.

4. Babyletto Bedside Crib

This crib for bed is ideal for parents who wish to cuddle their infant close to them before bedtime. The NHS recommends that newborns be kept in a separate room for the first 6 months but many parents find their child near them before bedtime soothing.

The cot comes in a range of colors and paints that are non-toxic which means it can be matched to your nursery or bedroom decor. It's a great option for parents who have high ceilings that slope and do not want to take up too much space on the floor. It can be adjusted to 11 different heights and tilted to four different positions. This includes an incline for reflux.

While it's attractive and appealing, it's a durable design that will last through the toddler years too. One tester for parents stated that her child used the crib for two months and it was still in good enough condition to pass on to her newest.

This cot is also compact and compact which makes it easy to assemble and move around. It is a good choice for parents with a limited space. It could also serve as an cot that can be moved around. Testers said it was easy to put together and loved the storage drawer to keep everything you need for your baby. It's not cheap however it's a worthwhile purchase due to its design and the functionality. The cot isn't equipped with a mattress, which means you'll need to buy one separately. We suggest settling for an airy, firm mattress that is fitted to stop your child from being suffocated. It should be a couple of inches shorter than the cot frame to ensure that your child is not capable of climbing out.

5. SnuzFino Bedside Cot

The SnuzFino crib is among our sleekest models, but it's not only about appearances. The cot is designed to last your newborn for their first 18 months. It can also be transformed into a toddler's bed by adding an additional toddler kit. The design is elegant and timeless and our testers thought it would fit any nursery. Particularly if you opt for a matching changing table and wardrobe.

Whatever cot you pick, make sure it meets the appropriate standards for your baby's age group and your home. The distance between bars should not exceed 6.5cm (two inches) which will prevent children from getting their heads stuck. Additionally, the surface should not be rough to prevent being suffocated. You'll need to buy the mattress for your cot that is perfect without gaps around the edges. It should also be made of fabrics that are breathable to keep your baby's body temperature in check.

Although it's tempting to purchase a cot with additional features such as built-in storage drawers, as well as side panels that can be removed from the bassinet (as with the Mamas and Papas Lua Cot) however, these must be carefully considered in the light of your budget and your lifestyle. The most suitable cots allow your child to rest comfortably and securely. There are all-in one cot beds with plenty of storage that don't cost a fortune.

If you're seeking a cutting-edge alternative, the SNOO crib with Smart Sleeper includes a built-in sensor that responds to your baby's cry. It gently lulls them into sleep in an identical way to the womb of their mother. The price may be a bit steep however for parents who have a difficult time sleeping, it could be worth the investment.
