Safety

When choosing a cot, an environment that is safe for sleeping should be a priority. Make sure that the mattress is snugly fitted, with no gaps between it and the cot's bed sides or ends (big gaps can trap your child's head or arms). Make sure the mattress is not too firm and thin. Thick mattresses can increase the risk of SIDS. Many companies offer a range of mattresses, from simple foam to natural materials suitable for allergy sufferers. Some have anti-microbial treatment. If your cot has a drop side, ensure that it is in the up position and locked securely.

Drop sides should only be allowed down when an adult is present in the room. This prevents accidental releases. Avoid placing your cot against a wall if it has a solid end. This can restrict airflow, which can lead to coffin death. Recent research suggests that slatted ends could be safer since they allow for more airflow.
