How to Choose the Best Cot For Newborns

A cot is a baby's first bed and will serve as their sleep space until they reach around four years old. Therefore, you need it to be comfortable, sturdy and safe.

Check that the mattress is free of gaps as they could pose an issue for babies who are suffocated. Also, look for an adjustable cot.

Single Cot

The OEX Ultralite folding cot is one of the lightest options on market. It weighs 2.68kg and is nearly half the cost of the Helinox version I tried. It's also a lot easier to set-up - the two main poles snap together as do tent poles of unusually high quality with shock cords to hold them in place. Then, they slide into sleeves that rest on the legs of their linked legs. It's all you have to do is place your feet on them to create the sleep surface.

It's not easy to take apart. You must be strong to remove the legs and then it's an effort to take apart the frame. It's not a major issue and I'm convinced that it's the Best cot for newborn lightweight frame I've tested.

Take a look at the cot bed options available on the market if looking for something that is more robust and long-lasting. If you opt for this option, you will need to purchase a separate bed for your child after a few years.

Some children will stay in the cot for longer, however, the majority of children will want to move up to their first single mattress as a reward for being a big brother or sister!

The Cot One is a comfortable option for infants and small children, offering a wonderful night's sleep over any type of ground even hard surfaces. It's also easy to set up, without tiny parts that could get lost, and feels secure enough to keep a toddler in place with no wobbly bits or parts to worry about.

Double Cot

A double cot is ideal for twins who are just born or siblings who need to sleep close together. It has the same security features as a single cot including side rails as well as a slatted base which can be adjusted as your child grows. It also has multiple support areas, so you can customize it to your child's specific needs. This is the only cot we tested that can accommodate two infants at a time, as it can hold up to 325 pounds.

The majority of experts in the field recommend cot beds because they provide the most security for your child. They are designed to be used from birth until your child is around 2 years old. They will eventually require conversion into an infant bed or a 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 sitting position. The highest setting is recommended when your baby is able to roll over. This is a vital aspect, as babies can choke if their heads become trapped between gaps or protrusions in the cot.

The only issue with this cot is that it's not particularly mobile, as it takes considerable effort to fold and can be a bit finicky when trying to get the legs into place. It is also the largest cot in our list and can be quite heavy to carry when you have to move it from the storage location.

It also looks stunning in any nursery cots and blends well with a range of different styles of bedrooms for kids once your baby outgrows it.

Triple Cot

Cots offer a safe and secure sleeping environment for your newborn, ensuring that they get the rest they need. They are usually smaller than beds and the base is capable of being raised depending on your baby's developmental stage. A lot of cots have an opening that allows you to co-sleep in a safe manner with your newborn and makes it easier to have nighttime feeds. Some cots allow the option of taking one side off completely which allows you to use it like a bassinet. This is a more secure option than sleeping with your baby in your bed.

Some cots have additional features that simplify life for parents, such as an easy-to-access drawer underneath the cot that is perfect for storage or to keep your essentials close at hand, anti-bite rails that are placed on top of the cot to safeguard infants who are teething, and a detachable riser leg that can be used to create a slight slope for babies with reflux. One of our favourite cots is the Silver Cross Westport Cot Bed that is stunning to look at thanks to its minimalist Scandi style and oak finish. It is also super practical with three height settings for the mattress, as well as being able to be converted into a toddler bed once your child is ready.

There are a variety of things to consider when buying a cot, including the dimensions of the cot as well as its sides, if it has a drop side for petite babies or with health issues and the capacity of storage for the cot and whether it comes with a removable hood and if it comes with bedding.

It's an excellent idea when your child begins to stand up. Some crib mattresses are made from natural materials such as wool or cotton. However there are models made with polyurethane.

The ease of cleaning the cot should be considered. Make sure it's machine washable, and what the care instructions are for the fabric as well as any parts that are removable. You should also determine whether your standard bedding for a cot is suitable or if you have to purchase a special travel cot sheets.
