Cot beds are often the perfect companion for parents. They can keep baby warm, and (hopefully) asleep peacefully.

Additionally, it can be converted into a cool toddler bed or day bed for long-lasting use. It comes with two different heights for the base, making it easier to reach for baby tots and cots more secure than a traditional drop-side cot.

This cot is more sleek than the other models we have tested. It's also suitable for smaller rooms. It also features a handy side door that lets you reach in easily to feed, nappies and changing. Parents loved the ease with which this cot was to set up, with our tester taking just 12 minutes to have it ready to use.

When you are choosing a cot bed be sure to choose one that conform to safety regulations. All online cots should have bars that are not more than 6.5cm apart to ensure your baby's limbs don't get caught. Also, make sure that the slats are securely secured to prevent any loose or loose fastenings.

It is crucial that your baby has a comfortable cot mattress. Select mattresses made of latex-coated coir or pocket springs, which offer the best cots support and do not sag. It's important to invest in a waterproof cover too since any dirt or soil will get into the mattress and make your baby sweaty or uncomfortable.

Some cots are also equipped with extra bonuses that include gentle rocking motions to help your baby settle (like the SNOO Smarter Cot), adjustable inclines to help ease reflux, and storage for nappy necessities (like the Mamas&Papas Lua Bedside Cot). These are great options, but make sure you purchase items that are safe and suitable for your child.

This bedside crib allows parents to snuggle up their baby close to them just before bedtime. The NHS advises that newborns should be kept in a separate area for the first six months, but many parents find it soothing to be able to hold their child prior to putting them to sleep.

It should be a few inches shorter than the frame of the cot to prevent your child from being able to climb out.

5. SnuzFino Bedside Cot

No matter which cot is chosen, make sure it is in line with the rules that apply to your baby's age and your home. The bars' spacing must not exceed 6.5cm (2 inches) that will keep children's heads from becoming trapped. The surface must be smooth to reduce the risk of suffocation. You'll also need to buy a suitable cot mattress, which should fit perfectly with no gaps at the edges and made of breathable materials to keep your baby's temperature in check.

It's tempting, but be aware of your budget and lifestyle before buying a cot that has extra features, such as built-in storage or side panels for the bassinet that can be removed (as the Mamas & Papas Lua Cot). The most ideal cots allow your child to rest comfortably and securely. There are many all-in-one cot beds that have plenty of storage that won't cost a lot.
