Safety

A secure sleeping space is essential and a big aspect to consider when choosing a bed. The mattress should be snugly fitted and there should be no gaps between the mattress and the sides or ends of the cot/cot-bed (large gaps could restrict the child's arms or head). Check that the mattress is firm and thin. Mattresses that are too thick can increase the risk of SIDS. Many companies sell mattresses in a variety of materials including foam and natural materials that are great for those suffering from allergies. Some even have an anti-microbial treatment. If your cot has drop sides, make sure it is in the upward position and secured.

Drop sides should only be allowed down only when an adult is present in the room. This can prevent accidental releases. If your coffin has a solid edge be sure to avoid placing it against the wall as it will block airflow and may contribute to the death of a coffin. According to the most recent research, cots with slatted ends could be safer as they allow for greater airflow.

If your cot is set to one side, you should choose it. It's the most secure choice for your baby when they begin to crawl and pull themselves upward. If your child is climbing with confidence and standing, it's the time to upgrade to a junior bed.

Some cots have an option where the base can be raised to three different levels to allow it to increase with your child's growth - this is very practical and a great security measure. Some cots also have footplates that can be adjusted, which are ideal for toddlers wanting to sit up in their bed.

Whenever you place your child in their cot, ensure that there is no visible danger - it must be kept away from heaters or power points, windows, blind cords and curtains (these pose a strangulation risk). When buying second-hand furniture or heirlooms, make sure to look for any potential hazards to your child's safety such as labels and transfers. These can peel off and pose a danger.
