It is also important to ensure that it's the right size for your nursery and has enough room for a safe sleep for your little one. It should be at least 140cm by 70cm, and there shouldn't be gaps around the edges or corners.

Make sure that the mattress is firm and sits flat inside the cot. It could be a suffocation hazard if it is soft or worn out. Examine for any sagging areas that could be dangerous and test how quickly the mattress springs back when pressing it.

Make sure the cot is free of toys, smudges and anything else that could pose a choking risk.

Unlike cribs, which are used only for a short time, cots are appropriate from the moment a child is born until they are able to easily transition to a toddler bed or kids single bed. To ensure that the crib you purchase will last, look for a model with adjustable heights for the base. This feature allows you lower the mattress height to fit your baby's development, ensuring they are secure and comfortable.
