Which <a href="https://www.cots4tots.co.uk/">tots and cots</a> is Right For Your Baby?<br /><br />Cots stop infants from falling out of bed or dying when they fall between the mattress and the cot. They should not have sharp edges or protrusions.<br /><br />Most cots have 4 secure sides, so you can rest assured that your child is secure throughout the day. They are usually of the fixed size and could be converted to a toddler bed as your child grows.<br /><br />Standard Cots<br /><br /><br /><br />Standard cots are ideal for smaller nursery settings and can be easily installed alongside the beds of parents and allow parents to keep an eye on their child while they sleep. These cots have fixed sides to prevent babies from climbing over them. When your baby is able to stand and crawl, these sides are an hazard to safety and should be removed.<br /><br />Cots are typically circular to help save space and are more compact than traditional cots. They are easy to clean and provide a cozy and secure place for your baby to sleep. They can be easily moved between spaces and are often on wheels or castors to enable you to move them easily.<br /><br />A lot of cots are simple and basic. Some come with extra features like teething rails or storage drawers. Natural materials are the best since they are durable and resistant to wear. It is important to keep them free of stuffed pillows or animals, as they can cause children to drown.<br /><br />A cot-bed can be a bigger version than a cot, with removable sides and end panels. It can be transformed into a toddler's bed once your child is old enough to leave it. This feature is especially useful if you are expecting to have more than one child as it removes the need to switch between various types of furniture and saves money by purchasing separate beds. Most cribs can be used from birth until your child is two years old, depending on their size and weight.<br /><br />Drop-side Cots<br /><br />A cot with a drop-side is ideal if you suffer from back pain since it means that you do not have to bend over the side as much. Back pain is a common problem for women who are pregnant and new mothers, especially those who have suffered back injuries in the past.<br /><br />This kind of cot lets you to reach your baby more easily throughout the day without having to lift them or worry about your back. It is essential to make sure that there is a minimum of 4cm between the base of the mattress and the mattress to stop your child from escaping.<br /><br />We recommend that you contact us at Baby's Hyperstore in case you are unsure which cot will best suit your needs. We can discuss your options. We can help you choose an elegant, safe cot that grows with your child and meet all safety standards that are required by law.<br /><br />John Lewis Elementary cot is our top choice. It scored high marks for its easy assembly. Gina mom test-sitting, said it was "a simple assembly with clearly and with illustrations". It also comes with a handy teething rails and drawers, plus 3 adjustable mattress height positions.<br /><br />The cot's sturdiness and sturdy structure makes it an excellent choice for babies who do not sleep through the night. It is important to ensure that the slats on the cot's frame are properly fixed and not too loose.<br /><br />Check to see if the cot has been certified as meeting British safety regulations. Prior to 2011, US models were not tested in the same way as UK models, which resulted in the USA banning certain unsafe designs. Look for a model that auto locks the drop side when it is in the up position. It will require two consecutive actions to unlock it, which prevents your baby from being able to pull the side down and climb out.<br /><br />Corner Cots<br /><br />Red Nose, an organization which works to stop sudden infant deaths syndrome, states that any fabric placed close to the baby should be secured tightly to prevent the risk of suffocation. Red Nose warns that curtains and blinds shouldn't be left hanging over the crib as they could strangle babies or cause them to crash their heads when they roll around in their sleep.<br /><br />This cot-bed that is minimalistic is a bargain but it's actually quite robust. It's suitable for babies all the way to toddlers. It can be converted into a toddler's bed by removing a side panel. It's also a good option for parents who have ceilings that slope because it comes with castors that lock to prevent the cot from falling down.<br /><br />Another cot that is easy to convert, this old-fashioned wooden cot bed can be used from birth until the child is 4 years old. It has an unique oval shape that ensures it doesn't get stuck in corners and will easily fit through standard door frames. The cot can also be transformed into a chic bench-style bed for a child who is older by lifting the bars.<br /><br />This curved cot-bed is a quality investment that can be an outstanding centerpiece for any nursery. It is available in off-white and stylish green. It's a top choice for parents who value longevity, as it can be converted into an infant bed by removing the sides, and then into a twin bed for older children by removing the front rails. It's also extremely robust and includes storage drawers as well as teething rails, as well as an ideal hanging rail for blankets or muslins.<br /><br />Cots with Drawers<br /><br />If you're looking to add storage space for your baby's clothes or bedding, or want a design that will adapt to their needs, there are plenty of options available on the market. Some cots can be turned into toddler beds so that you can easily switch when your child has outgrown them. Some come with built-in drawers that can be used for storage, and some even have a changing station!<br /><br />It's convenient to have a cot with drawers for all the toys, blankets muslins, or other items that your child loves. It is also easier to tidy up since everything is in one place. Many of these cots have anti-bite strips of plastic on the sides - great for babies who are teething!<br /><br />If you're on a budget but still want a stylish and practical cot, the Ikea Sniglar is a good option. It's a simple and slimline aesthetic that'll work well in all rooms.

The majority of cots have an easy-to-access drawer where you can keep a variety of items and some come with hanging rails for muslin clothes or blankets, as well as teething rails to shield the sides of your cot from your little one's teething inclinations.<br /><br />It is possible to transform your cot into daybed or toddler bed when your child is old enough to upgrade.
