Safety

A safe sleeping environment is an essential consideration when choosing a cot. The mattress should be able to fit snugly and there shouldn't be gaps between the mattress and the ends or sides of the cot or cot-bed (large gaps could hold the child's arms and head). Make sure the mattress is not too firm and thin. Mattresses that are thick can increase the risk of SIDS. There are many companies that offer mattresses made of various materials from foam to natural materials that are great for those suffering from allergies. Some even come with an anti-microbial treatment. If your cot has a drop side, ensure it is in the upward position and secured.

Drop sides should only be permitted to fall when an adult is in the room. This will prevent accidental release.
