A cot is an elevated bed for your child that stops them from falling out. There are many styles, from bedside cribs to travel cots.

The mum tester Jasmin appreciated the cot's storage space that is perfect for blankets and sheets. It's also simple to set up and has an incline that helps with reflux.

1. Mamas&Papas Franklin Cot Bed

Cot beds are a parent's best crib newborn friend. They keep baby snug and (hopefully) asleep peacefully. When looking for a crib, there are a lot of things to consider. From safety and specifications to design and style. A good cot should last from newborn to toddlerhood. So durability is important. This cot is stylish and sturdy, and it meets all the most recent guidelines. It's also affordable, and comes with an extra mattress.

Mamas&Papas has a knack for designing stylish and practical nursery furniture, and this crib is no exception. It's a modern choice for the baby's first bedroom with a modern grey finish that'll match any colour scheme. It can also be converted into a cool daybed or toddler bed for longer-term use. It comes with two different heights of the base, making it easier for babies to reach and safer than a standard drop-side cot. The shaped base allows it to pass through the majority of doors and is a huge bonus for parents who are strapped for time. There's even a matching dresser/changer to keep all your newborn essentials close at hand.

2. SnuzFino Cot Bed

This crib is designed to be used by your baby from newborn up to around four years old. It has two mattress heights, so you can start with a higher base and move down as your child grows and learns to sit up on their own without assistance. It won Gold in the Mother&Baby awards 2024 for best crib, cot or Moses basket, and is a top choice for parents.

This cot is more sleek than the other models we've tested. It's also suitable for smaller rooms. It also has a handy side door so you can reach in easily for feeding, nappies and changing. Our tester took only 12 minutes to set up the cot.

When you are choosing a cot bed make sure you choose one that are safe. All cots must have bars that are not more than 6.5cm apart to ensure that your baby's limbs cannot become trapped. Make sure the slats on your cot are securely secured to avoid any loose or rusty fittings.

It is essential that your baby has an incredibly comfortable cot mattress. Select mattresses made of latex-coated coir or pocket springs, which offer the best support and do not sag. Also, you should consider investing in a waterproof mattress cover, because any dirt that gets into the mattress itself and cause your child to sweat or feel uncomfortable.

Some cots are also equipped with extra features like gentle rocking motions to help settle your baby (like the SNOO Smarter Cot) and adjustable inclines to ease reflux and storage for the nappy essentials (like the Mamas&Papas Lua Bedside Cot). These can be a great alternative, but be sure to only purchase additional items that fit safely and are suitable for your baby's.

3. Graco SnuzFino Bedside Crib

If you want an infant crib that you can use from birth and put close to your bed while your baby sleeps, this one might be what you're looking for. It's a compact design that easily fits into doors with standard frames and weighs just 6kg, which means it's easy to move around your home. It is also easy to get up and go down, which makes it ideal for changing nappy.

It is lightweight and portable, meaning you can easily move it between rooms or even on holiday. Its stand-alone design is popular with new parents who want to have access to their infant easily in the early stages of parenting. It comes with a fitted mattress and a cover for the reflux wedge that are both useful features.

The included Toddler Kit will also allow it to convert into a toddler bed, which is great for parents as it will last as long as your child needs it. This is a beautiful crib bed with a Scandi style. It will look stunning in your nursery.

Another alternative is this basic solid pine cot that is suitable from birth to three years and costs just PS372. Our testers loved its stylish panelled appearance. It's easy to put together and has an easy-to-use storage drawer, teething rail and adjustable height settings that are helpful for keeping your newborn safe. Its small size means it's an ideal choice for those with a smaller space or who has sloped ceilings. Its solid construction also means it will stand the years and won't be prone to falling apart like cot beds do.

4. Babyletto Bedside Crib

This bedside crib is perfect for parents who want to snuggle their baby up close to them prior to the time to go to bed. The NHS suggests that babies be kept in a separate room for the first six months, however many parents find it relaxing to be able to hold their child before going to bed.

The cot comes in a range of colors and paints that are non-toxic, so it can be customized to your nursery or bedroom decor. It's also a good choice for parents with ceilings that slope who don't want a cot to take up a lot of floor space. It can be adjusted to eleven different heights, and tilted to four different positions. This includes an incline to help with reflux.

It's also a well-constructed design that will last into the toddler years. One test-taker stated that her child was in the cot for two babies and that it was in good enough condition to pass on to her newest.

Another advantage is that this cot is small and compact, so it's easy to build and move around if needed. It's an ideal fit for parents with smaller rooms and can also be used as a travel cot sale too. It was easy to assemble and testers were impressed by the storage drawer that held all of your baby's essentials. It's a bit pricey however, it's well worth the cost for its design and function. This cot sets doesn't come with an mattress, so you'll have to purchase one separately. We suggest settling for a comfortable, airy mattress that is snug to prevent your child from being suffocated. It should be a few inches shorter than the frame of the cot in order to prevent your child from being able get out.

5. SnuzFino Bedside Cot

The SnuzFino crib is among our sleekest, but it isn't just about looks. This cot is made to last for the first 18 months. It could also be converted into 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, particularly if you opt for a matching changing unit and wardrobe.

Whatever cot you select, ensure that it is in compliance with the applicable standards for your baby's age and your home. The spacing between bars should be no more than 6.5cm (2 inches) which will stop the baby's head from getting trapped. The surface should be smooth to prevent the risk of suffocation. You'll also have to purchase a suitable cot mattress, that is ideally sized with no gaps at the edges and be made from breathable materials to keep your baby's temperature regulated.

While it's tempting to purchase a cot with additional features such as drawers for storage built-in and removable bassinet sides (as with the Mamas & Papas Lua Cot), these should be carefully considered in light of your budget and lifestyle. The most suitable cots allow your child to rest comfortably and safely. There are many all-in-one cots with plenty of storage that don't cost a lot.

If you're looking for a modern option, the SNOO cot with Smart Sleeper comes with a built-in sensor that responds to your baby's cry. It gently rocks them into sleep in the same way as their mother's womb. The price is expensive, but it could be worth the investment for fussy sleepers.
