A cot is a bed that is elevated for your child, which prevents them from falling off. They come in a range of styles from bedside cribs (bassinet-style cribs that attach to your side of the bed for safe co-sleeping) to travel cots offers.

The mum tester Jasmin appreciated the cot's storage compartment, which is ideal for blankets and sheets. It's also simple to set up and comes with an incline setting to reduce reflux.

It has two mattress levels that allow you to start with a higher base and then move to a lower one as your baby grows and learns to sit up on their own. It was awarded Gold in the Mother&Baby Awards 2024 for best Moses basket, cot or crib.

The slats of this cot are spaced closer together than some of the other models we tested and makes it more sleek and ideal for smaller bedrooms. It also has a handy side door so you can access it easily for feeding, nappies or changing. Our tester took just 12 minutes to put together the cot sets.

When choosing a cot bed make sure you choose one that are safe. All cots must have bars that are no more than 6.5cm apart so that your baby's limbs don't get caught. Make sure the slats on your cot are securely secured to avoid any loose or fittings that are rusty.

It is crucial that your baby has a mattress that is comfortable for their cot. Look for pocket springs or latex-coated coir mattresses, as these provide the most support and won't slide like foams. It is important to invest in a waterproof cover too, as any soiling will be absorbed directly into the mattress and make your baby sweaty or uncomfortable.

Some cots also come with extra features like gentle rocking motions to help settle your baby (like the SNOO Smarter Cot) and adjustable inclines to help ease reflux, and storage for the nappy essentials (like the Mamas&Papas Lua Bedside Cot). These are a great alternative, but be sure to only buy additional items that are safe and are suitable for your baby.

No matter which cot you choose, be sure that it complies with the regulations applicable to your baby's age as well as your home. The bars' spacing should not be more than 6.5cm (two inches) which will keep children from getting their heads trapped. Also the surface should not be rough in order to avoid the risk of suffocation. You'll need to buy the cot mattress that fits perfectly and has no gaps around the edges. It must also be made of fabrics that are breathable to regulate your baby's body temperature.

While it's tempting to buy a cot with additional features such as built-in storage drawers, as well as side panels that can be removed from the bassinet (as with the Mamas&Papas Lua Cot) however, these must be carefully considered in the light of your budget and your lifestyle. The best cots allow your baby to rest comfortably and securely. There are many all-in-one cots with plenty of storage that don't cost a fortune.
