Our parents who tested it chose the SnuzFino as their top choice. Mum Katrina said, "I love the Toddler Kit. It really extends the life of this crib". It's also vacuum-rolled so it's simple to set up.
Size
When choosing the perfect bed for your child, there are plenty of aspects to take into consideration. You'll need to consider the size, safety, cost and design to ensure you make the best decision. Be sure to check the dimensions of your cot prior to you buy. The most common dimensions are 140cm by 70cm. However, this may vary from one brand to the next. You should also be aware of the age group that a cot is suitable for, as you might have to upgrade to a single or toddler bed once your child is ready or perhaps earlier.
A cot bed is a more flexible option, as it will last longer than a standard cot and can be transformed into a toddler bed or a single bed when your child is ready. This will make the transition simpler for you as well as your child and help you save money.
Cot beds are available in a variety of shapes, sizes and finishes, making it essential to choose the best one for your nursery. Choose a cot that fits your space and remember that most cots come with removable sides so that your baby can play with toys in the bed or even sit up. If your nursery is small in space, you should consider a smaller crib with curving edges.
Contact friends and family members who have children if not sure of the right model for your nursery. They can provide valuable insights about their experiences with different models and provide recommendations that are based on their personal experiences. You can also read online customer reviews to gain an understanding of what other parents thought about the cot beds they purchased.
Cot beds are available in a range of materials and pine is the most well-known. It's a softwood therefore it is more susceptible to dent and scratches but it's also highly renewable and extremely sturdy. Birch, oak, and beech are also hard woods that have a greater resistance to wear. Some cots can also be constructed from engineered wood. This is a combination of MDF or plywood and the addition of a veneer to provide a more durable surface.
Safety
To ensure that babies are sleeping in a safe environment, cots and cots-beds must be in compliance with the latest safety and health standards. They should also not have sharp edges and the distance between bars should not exceed 6.5cm. This will prevent children from climbing through or getting stuck between the bars. They should not also use them as ladders. If you are buying a second-hand cot, or an family heirloom, be sure it has been thoroughly cleaned and meets current safety standards. Older cots may have been painted with lead paint that is hazardous for children in the early years.
A high-quality cot will be simple to put together, with clear instructions and a small amount of tools. If you're not able to assemble it yourself, ask friends and family for advice and take time to read any safety guidelines carefully. Make sure to use a firm mattress that's not too thick and is fitted tightly without gaps. Avoid using pillows, cot bumpers or any other soft bedding since they could cause fatal inhalation.
Some cots can be converted into toddler beds. This will reduce costs and make the transition from cot to bed as smooth as you can. Some are multi-functional, and come with extra features like teething rails, storage drawers, and even a crib. If you're planning on having more than one child it is a good option because it will save you money in the future.
When shopping for infant cot bed for one that is within your budget and also the size of your nursery. Consider if you'll be using it in a bedroom shared by two parents, or whether it is for your baby's own room. If the cot will be in your own room make sure you measure the space to ensure it fits comfortably and isn't too close to furniture or radiators. Do not place the cot too close to window blind cords, since they could be the risk of strangulation.
Convenience
It's easy to become caught up in the details of spec and safety features when purchasing for your new baby, but don't forget about the convenience. If you're buying a cot bed you want it to be as easy to move from room to room, and even out into the garden. This is because your child will be sleeping in the cot for a longer time than you'd expect and it's essential to make sure that it's convenient for you to use it.
You can save time and money by selecting a cot that can be converted into an infant bed. This is a favorite choice for many parents, however it's important to keep in mind that it's slightly more expensive than a standard cot.
The John Lewis Elementary cot, which can be converted into a toddler bed is a fantastic example of a cot that is a high value. The design is sleek and contemporary with open sides that allow you to monitor your child. It also has three positions for the mattress to allow your baby to grow, as well as teething rails for extra security.
The Mamas & Papas Franklin cot is another top choice, as it comes with a wide range of useful features. In addition to a convenient storage drawer and rails for teething, it has two height settings to allow your child to continue using the cot until they're ready for a toddler bed. It can also accommodate an ordinary cot-sized mattress but you'll need to purchase it separately.
You can also look at the Boori Eton Convertible Plus Cot Bed which goes one step further than simply converting into a toddler bed. It can be converted into an ottoman or a daybed and gives you more flexibility.
Ickle Bubba Snowdon Classic Cotbed is another option. This is a beautiful sleigh cot, but it's not as useful as other options. It's suitable for your baby until they're 2 years old and doesn't come with a fitted sheet (you have to buy this separately). It's simple to put together and you can also purchase furniture that matches from this brand.
Style
Cot beds are available in different styles that include traditional sleighs and modern minimalist designs. Your personal preference and the design of your nursery will determine which design you select. You may consider adding additional features like a storage compartment underneath rails for teething or dropping sides for babies.
When you are choosing a cot bed it is important to remember that if you opt for a model that has bars, the distance between the bars must not exceed 6.5cm or there is the risk of limbs being trapped within them. All cots and cot beds sold in the UK must meet the safety standard BS EN716-1:2008+A1:2013.
A few of the cots we tried feature removable bars which offer more freedom for older children, while still keeping them safe. The Cam Cam Copenhagen Harlequin Cot, for example, can be transformed into daybed or a toddler by attaching an attachment kit (sold separately). This makes it suitable for use from birth to the age of four years, which will save you the cost of buying a separate Toddler Bed.
The Great Little Trading Company Little Wren Cot Bed is a different option. It's a chic Sleigh bed that has a handy under-bed storage compartment that can keep baby necessities on the ready. Our test subject described it as a doddle to put together, and also found that it had plenty of room inside for toys and bedding. It comes with teething bars as well as an adjustable base that can be adjusted to three different heights.
Stokke Sleepi Cot beds are another type of sleigh that can be transformed into a toddler bed using a junior conversion kit (sold separately) and mattress extender. It's a great investment since it will last your child until they reach the age of five old. However, it is not among the most affordable cots on our list.
