Best Cots For Newborns

A cot is a bed that is elevated for your child that prevents them from falling off. They come in a range of styles ranging from bedside cribs (bassinet-style cribs that attach to your side of the bed to allow secure co-sleeping) to travel online cots.

Mum tester Jasmin loved the cot's handy storage compartment to store blankets and sheets. It's also easy to set up and comes with an incline setting that can aid in reducing reflux.

1. Mamas&Papas Franklin Cot Bed

Cot beds are a parent's best cot beds friend, ensuring that the baby safe and (hopefully) asleep peacefully. However, when you're looking for one, there's a lot to consider, from specs and safety to design and style. A good cot has to last through the newborn stage and even toddlerhood, so long-term durability is crucial. The cot is stylish and robust and is in compliance with all the most recent regulations. It's also affordable, and comes with a mattress.

2. SnuzFino Cot Bed

The cot is more compact than other models we tested. It's also suitable for smaller rooms. It also comes with a convenient side door, allowing you to get in easily to feed, nappies and changing. Our tester took only 12 minutes to set up the cot.

Look for cot beds that comply with safety standards. All cots must have bars that are no more than 6.5cm apart to ensure your baby's limbs don't get caught. Also, ensure that the slats have been securely fixed to avoid any loose or rusty fastenings.

It is essential that your baby sleeps on a comfortable cot mattress. Find pocket springs or latex coated Coir mattresses as they provide the most support and won't slide like foams. It is also recommended to purchase an waterproof mattress cover as any dirt will get into the mattress itself and cause your baby to sweat or feel uncomfortable.

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

4. Babyletto Bedside Crib

This crib in the bed allows parents to cuddle their infant close just before the time to go to bed. The NHS suggests that babies be kept in a separate bedroom for the first 6 months but many parents find that having their child near them prior to bedtime relaxing.

It's not cheap but it's worth it for its design and function. You'll need a mattress for this cot. We recommend a firm, breathable and snugly fitting mattress to keep your child from suffocating. It should be a few inches smaller than the frame of the cot in order to prevent your child from being capable of climbing out.

5. SnuzFino Bedside Cot

The SnuzFino crib is among our most elegant models, but it's not only about appearances. It's designed to last for the first 18 months of their life. It can also be transformed to a toddler's bed by adding an additional toddler kit. The design is timeless and stylish, and our tester found it would suit any nursery, especially when you choose an accompanying changing unit and wardrobe.

Whatever cot you choose, always make sure it meets the applicable requirements for your baby's age group and your home. The spacing between bars should not exceed 6.5cm (2 inches), which will prevent the baby's head from getting stuck, and the surface should be smooth to avoid dangers of suffocation. You'll also have to purchase an appropriate cot mattress that is ideally sized with no gaps around the edges. It should also be constructed of breathable materials to ensure that your baby's temperature is kept in check.

It's tempting, but you should carefully consider your budget and lifestyle before buying a cot that has extra features like built-in storage and side panels for the bassinet that can be removed (as the Mamas & Papas Lua Cot). The best cots are simply designed for your baby to sleep comfortably and safely and often find all-in-one cot beds with plenty of storage without costing you a fortune.
