Safety

When choosing a cot, a safe sleeping environment is a must. Make sure that the mattress fits snugly, with no gap between it and the cot/cot bed sides or ends (big gaps can restrict your child's head or arms). Make sure it's solid and thin - more thick mattresses aren't advised since they could increase the risk of SIDS. There are many companies that offer a variety of mattresses, from simple foam to natural materials for allergy sufferers. Some contain anti-microbial treatments. If your crib has an inclined side, make sure it is in the upward position and secured.

Drop sides should only be allowed to fall when an adult is present in the room. This prevents accidental releases. Avoid placing your cot on the wall if it is a solid end. This will restrict airflow, which can lead to coffin death. According to the most recent research, cots with slatted ends are safer since they permit more airflow.

If your crib has a fixed edge, opt for this as it will be safest when your baby starts to crawl and then pull themselves up. When your child is confidently climbing and standing, it's time to upgrade to a junior bed.

When placing your child's cot be sure that there are no visible hazards. It should be put away from heaters and power points. Also, keep it away from windows, curtains, and blind cords. All of these could present a strangulation threat. If you're purchasing furniture from a secondhand store or an heirloom piece, check for dangers to your child's health such as stickers and transfers that can be removed and pose a risk.
