Pine is the most commonly used material used for cot beds. It’s a softwood so it’s more susceptible to dent and scratches but it’s also highly renewable and extremely durable. Birch, oak and beech are hard woods that have a greater resistance to wear. Some cots are constructed from engineered wood which is a combination of plywood or MDF with a veneer of wood in order to make a more durable finish.

Safety

To ensure that babies are sleeping in a safe environment, cots and cot-beds must meet new safety and health standards. These include ensuring that they don’t have sharp edges and that the distance between the bars is no greater than 6.5cm. This will prevent infants from climbing out or getting trapped between them, and it also means that they can’t use the bars as an incline. If you are purchasing an heirloom or second-hand crib, you need to ensure that it is in compliance to current safety standards and has been thoroughly cleaned. Older cots may have been sprayed with lead paint that is hazardous for young children.

A good quality cot will be simple to put together, with clear instructions and a minimum of tools. Ask your family and friends for help if you’re not confident in assembling the cot on your own.

Avoid using pillows, cot bumpers or any other type of soft bedding, as they could cause fatal inhalation.

Consider if you’ll be using it in a bedroom shared by two parents or for your baby’s own room. If the cot will be in your own room make sure you measure the space to ensure it fits comfortably and is not too close to furniture or radiators. Do not place the cot too close to window blind cords because they could pose a strangulation hazard.

When buying for your baby it’s easy to concentrate on safety and spec features. However, don’t forget about convenience. You want to make sure that the cot bed you purchase is able to move from room to room and even to the garden.
