Buying a Baby Cot Bed
Cot beds can be transformed to toddler beds, which makes them a better long-term option than cribs. They have removable sides and an end panel that can be removed to provide access to your child.
Most cribs are suitable for use from birth to 2 years old or until your baby begins to climb out. Then best cots should switch to a junior bed.
