Best Baby Cribs And Toddler Beds

Updated on January 27, 2013

Cribs and Cots

Buying A Crib or Cot

There are some things that you need to consider when you go shopping for a Cot or a Crib for your new baby.

Safety always safety first, are the sides spaced out enough that your baby will not be able to get his or her head between them? does the mattress have sufficient air circulation to allow baby to breath if they end up laying face down after turning whilst asleep?

Is there a mattress included with the cot that you want to buy for your baby and if the mattress is included is it of good quality, a good quality matress is essential considering how many hours baby will spend sleeping on it.

What kind of bedding are you thinking of for your baby? A baby sleeping bag or the traditional blanket and sheet, these are rarely sold as part of the package when you buy a crib or cot.

Are you short of space in your home? some cots are made for narrower spaces and can even be made to measure.

Some cots can be converted into beds for when baby gets that little bit older saving a bit of money in the long run.

When buying a cot make sure that you are comfortable with the amount that you spend for the short period of time that it will be used for.
