As parents you want your child to be safe at all times, and especially during sleep. A cot that is safe and secure will ensure that your child is secure and well-fed. It must be free of dangers like entrapment and suffocation. When searching for the perfect cot, consider the following safety features.

Make sure that the cot is solid and sturdy and has no gaps between the bars. Verify that the bars are less than 95 mm apart - bigger gaps could trap your baby's head or arms. Also, make sure there's enough space within the cot to stop your baby from climbing out.

It should be kept away from power and heaters points, since they can cause overheating. You should also make sure that the cot is free of toys including stuffed animals, toys and other soft objects, which could be a danger to your child. You should also keep your cot free of blinds and curtains with cords. They could be a strangulation hazard for your child.

If you are considering an old cot, be sure that the mattress is brand new and meets British safety standards, such as BS EN716.
