It is also very sturdy and the only cot that we tested that we believed would be able to stand the test of time. The narrow bars ensure that there are no nooks and crevices to collect dust in, making cleaning as easy as it can be. As your baby grows and develops, you can lower the base to prevent them from climbing out. The teething rails protect them from their sharp teeth.
Silver Cross Nostalgia is another amazing piece. It's a gorgeous sleigh style cot that can be used from birth. An extension kit, sold separately, allows it to be converted into a toddler-sized bed. The three height options will keep your baby at ease as they grow, but the arduous assembly process may turn off some.

For example, some models have an integrated diaper changing station that makes it simpler to change your baby. This helps to improve the comfort of both of you and your baby when changing diapers and also makes it more secure by keeping all the essential supplies at hand.

Our reviewer also found it easy to set up and move around the room when complete, while its unique oval design ensures it can easily fit through standard door frames, which is a huge benefit for stressed parents.
Comfort
It is easy to get caught up in the spec and safety features when you are laying out your baby's nursery, however comfort is also key. If your child will be spending the majority of their time in the cot bed they choose it is essential to ensure that they are safe and comfortable.

The Mamas & Papas Franklin cot-bed is another option if are looking for a cot with added features such as teething bars, a drawer and two positions that are adjustable. It was simple to put together and Jill loved the way it fit through standard door frames. But keep in your mind that you'll need purchase sheets and a mattress separately.
Convertability
Cot beds are designed to last longer than standard cots, providing your child with the bed they need from birth until toddlerhood. This makes cots a better choice than cribs. They also are a more cost-effective option because you don't have to purchase a new bed for your child after they grow out of it.
Some cots and cot beds can also be adapted to your child's. They can be transformed into junior beds or small sofas. The Stokke Sleepi for example can be used from age 2 and beyond by purchasing a junior conversion kit and mattress extender (sold separately). It's simple to install and looks fantastic in any nursery. However, you will need a fitted sheet for a cot-bed rather than a crib as the gaps are quite big.

It is compact and has a modern nursery look with a textured finish made of oak. It comes with three mattress base positions for your growing baby, and teething rails to protect the baby from harm.
