Therefore, you want it to be comfortable, sturdy and safe. + +Check that the mattress is free of gaps, because they can pose an entrapment risk for infants. Also look for a cot that is able to convert into a toddler bed. + +Single Cot + +The OEX Ultralite foldable cot is among the lightest options on the market. It weighs 2.68kg and is nearly half the price of the Helinox version I tested. It's also much simpler to set up. The two main poles connect like unusually bulky tent poles, with shock cords to help keep them in place, then they slide easily into sleeves on their connected legs and you just have to place your feet inside them to make the sleeping surface. + +It isn't easy to disassemble. It is necessary to be strong enough to take the legs off, and then it is a bit of work to dismantle the frame. It's not a major issue and I believe it's the best lightweight cot I've ever tried. + +If you're looking for something that's a little more robust and long-lasting, take a look at the range of cot beds on the market. They're typically suitable from birth to around 2 years old, so you'll have to buy one bed for your child at some time if you choose this option. + +Some children are content to stay in a cot for more than this, however most want to move on to their first single bed - that can be presented as a "prize for being the big brother or sister! + +The Cot One is a comfortable option for infants and smaller kids, providing a great night's sleep on any kind of ground even hard surfaces. It is simple to put together and has no small pieces to break, and is solid enough to support the child's weight without worrying about moving parts. + +Double Cot + +A double cot is ideal for twins or siblings that need to share a bed. It has the same security features as a single cot including side rails as well as a slatted base that can be lowered as your child grows. It comes with numerous support areas so that you can customize it to meet your child's requirements. Moreover, this is the only cot that we tested that's designed to accommodate multiple infants simultaneously as it can hold two babies as big as 325 pounds. This cot measures 72 inches long. This is a major selling point for families that will need to share space with more than one child. + +This cot has a great feature that parents love. It can be transformed to a toddler's bed and then a junior bed. This will give it a longer lifespan and means that you won't need to purchase a new bed. This is ideal for families with limited funds and will save money as your child grows. + +The majority of experts in the field recommend cot beds as they provide the most security for your child. They are designed to be used from birth until your child reaches 2 years old and will eventually require conversion into the toddler bed or junior bed. + +This is the only cot we tested with an adjustable base. The lowest setting is suitable for babies who are still in the in a supine position. The most extreme setting is recommended if your baby is able to roll. This is an essential aspect as babies can choke if their head becomes trapped between gaps or protrusions within the cot. + +The only downside to this cot is that it's not very portable, as it requires a large amount of effort to fold it and can be a bit finicky when you try to put the legs into place. It's also the biggest cot in our list and is a bit heavy to carry around if you need to move it from its storage location. + +This luxury wood cot is a great option if you're looking for a cot with all the features. It's a stunning piece of furniture that elevates the look, comfort and function in your living space. It also looks stunning in any nursery and blends perfectly with different kid's bedroom styles after your child has outgrown it. + +Triple Cot + +Cots are designed specifically for infants and offer a safe sleeping space to ensure your baby gets the rest they require. The base can be raised to accommodate the baby's developmental stage. They are usually lower than beds. Many cots have an opening that allows you to safely co-sleep with your newborn and makes it easier for night time feeds. Some cots even allow you to remove one of the sides completely which can allow you to use it as a bassinet, and make it a safer alternative to sleeping in your bed. + +Some cots also have extra features that help parents. These include a drawer underneath the cot that is perfect to store things in, rails that protect babies with teeth, and a riser leg that can create an angle that is suitable for reflux babies. One of our top cots is the Silver Cross Westport Cot Bed, which is beautiful to look at thanks to its minimalist Scandi style and oak finish but it is also extremely practical, with three different heights for the mattress, as well as it being able to convert into a toddler bed once your child is ready. + +Sleeping well is crucial for all babies and it's worth your time looking for the ideal crib or cot for your newborn. If you are struggling to determine what kind of crib or cot is the best option for your baby, why don't you attend an NCT New Baby Course and look at the different options with a trained group instructor and other new parents? + +When purchasing a cot, there are many things to consider. These include the dimensions of the cot's sides and depth and storage capacity, if it has a removable hood and if the cot comes with bedding. Double check the dimensions of the crib or cot of your baby to make sure it will fit in your nursery or bedroom. Be sure that there is enough space to move around and that it is not too close to heat sources or windows. + +Quadruple Cot + +If you're expecting twins or triplets then you'll need a quadruple cot. These large cots can accommodate four babies at once and come with bedding sets to help you get your child up and ready for bed. They also come with the option of a side rail that can be removed, so you can place your child close to you while they sleep. If you have more than one child, you might be interested in a model that has bunk beds that can be transformed into one. + +Many cots feature an adjustable mattress which can be moved up and down to suit your baby's height. This is a great idea if you're concerned that your baby could slip in the night, and also beneficial when your child starts to stand. Many cot mattresses are made out of natural materials, such as wool or cotton, but there are some that use polyurethane foam too. + +It is a good idea to select a cot that has mesh sides. This will allow air to circulate and keep your baby cool. Make sure you check the bars' length too, as these should not exceed 6.5cm apart to prevent your baby from escaping. Avoid cots with solid foot and head boards, as they can trap clothing or legs. + +Another important consideration is how easy the cot is to clean. Find out if the fabric is able to be washed in the machine and follow the care instructions for removable parts. You'll also have to consider whether your bedding for a cot will work or if you'll need buy some special sheets for travel cots. + +Babies need a lot of paraphernalia, including nappies (which can quickly become a burden!) bedding clothes and other toys. A cot that has storage, such as the Obaby Stamford Space Saver Cot, can help you organize everything neatly and easily accessible. \ No newline at end of file
