Why Nursery Cots Is Everywhere This Year

How to Choose the Best Nursery Cots

Cots are a great place to sleep for your child, and give you the much-needed break between feedings, changing nappy and clean-ups. Check out our Canstar Blue reviews for the best nursery cots for making sure your baby has the best crib for newborn night's sleep possible.

Some cribs are designed to grow with your child and can be made to a toddler bed with the kit. These are perfect for parents who don't want to buy the purchase of a new bed once their child is old enough.

Size

When choosing the right bassinet or nursery crib, there are many things to consider. It is essential to ensure that the cot you choose meets all safety requirements particularly if you're purchasing second-hand. You'll need to make sure the cot doesn't have sharp edges or protruding corner and no tiny gaps which could hold your baby's head or fingers. It's also essential to choose an infant cot that meets Australian standards for infant beds.

The size of your cot will be contingent on the space you have and how long it will be used. Standard cots measure 60cm by 120 cm and are suitable for infants as well as toddlers. However, some cots are designed to transform into an infant bed or a child's single beds, which means they can be used for a longer period of time. This is an excellent option if you have more than one child and you don't want to buy a new bed for each child.

You can alter the height of a variety of cribs to accommodate the changing body of your baby. These can be adjusted between 3 and 5 levels based on the design. Some cots also allow you to remove one side of the bed completely which is helpful when your baby starts to walk or you'd like to experiment with sleeping with your baby infant.

Small cots are usually mounted with wheels or castors so that they are able to be moved easily between rooms. They are particularly beneficial if your house is small and doesn't have a designated nursery. They can also be used as a cot for travel when you intend to spend time away from home with your child or to transfer them between family members' homes during holidays. Some cots are also convertible into a small toddler bed or even sofas. This allows your toddler to sleep alongside you with peace of mind knowing they are still safe and close at hand.

Style

A cot is the centrepiece of your nursery. It is the most crucial piece of furniture you'll have to purchase for your baby. It must be strong and secure. It shouldn't have sharp edges or areas that children can get their fingers, head or arms entangled. The cot must also comply with Australian cot standards. You should avoid buying second-hand cots as they may not meet current safety standards.

Cots are available in a range of styles and colors that fit into any decor. You can embellish them with a wide range of accessories, including mobiles for cots. These mobiles add contrasting colours and patterns to the crib, attracting your baby's attention as well as stimulating their sensory development. They can also help your baby sleep more comfortably and help them relax during calm times.

Another style that is popular is the Wicker cot. It is reminiscent of simpler times and is ideal for a room with a natural theme. Its minimalist design makes it a great choice for babies of all different ages, and is typically less expensive than other types of cots. If you do decide to buy a wicker cot ensure that it is crafted from high-quality materials and meets all safety standards that are in force.

There are also a variety of different shapes and styles for cots. Some cots come with a built-in storage space. This is a convenient way to store all your baby's paraphernalia, including diapers, bedding, clothing and other necessities. Some cots have legs which lift them off the floor, which can help to keep them clean and prevent them from being exposed to dust and other germs.

Some cots can be converted into a toddler's bed which can be used until the age of 6 years. This feature is especially useful when you are planning to have more children or want to save money by purchasing multiple beds for your growing family. The Leander crib can be transformed into a toddler bed which will last your child until they reach age 7. This option could save you lots of time and money in the long term.

Safety

Select a sturdy cot made of durable materials when shopping for a cot for your nursery. It should have a sturdy base and solid sides, with no gaps between the slats that might allow baby fingers to get stuck. Make sure the furniture has non-toxic finishes and does not chip or peel. If you're not sure about the safety of a product check for certifications that show that it has been tested and meets all regulations applicable to it.

Some parents opt for a Moses basket, crib or cheap cot bed instead of a traditional bed. They are great for babies because they offer a secure place to sleep for your baby without having to leave the child alone. If your baby grows too big for this item it is possible to use the top rated cots of the cot to allow them to leave these smaller spaces.

To decrease the risk of Sudden Infant Demise Syndrome (SIDS), it is important that you follow sleep guidelines. NHS UK recommends using a firm mattress and avoid using pillows, blankets, toys or bumpers that could lead to the suffocation of your child.

Dressers, bookshelves, and other storage furniture are also a risk in the event that children are curious and climbs on or leans against them. Be sure that all high-heeled pieces are securely attached to the wall and are regularly checked for stability. Also, place heavier items at the bottom of shelves and drawers so that they can distribute their weight and avoid accidents.

Another safety concern is the danger of choking in the nursery. Many children love to nibble on the cot rails, corners, or slats. You can avoid these hazards by choosing a cheap cot bed with round corners and edges that are not protruding or by eliminating these elements when your child is old enough to stand on their own.

In addition it is advised to not use any wall-mounted decorative items or clocks with lengthy cords close to the cot. If their toes or hands get stuck in the cords, children and infants could be strangled. Place cots away from windows with cords that are long on curtains or blinds which could cause the possibility of falling.

Originality

One of the most important things in a baby's nursery is their bed, since it is where they will spend the majority of their their first years. It is therefore worthwhile to invest in a modern crib that will set the mood for your room's decor. There are many options available on the market, including modern cots with modern designs and clean lines that seamlessly blend into any space. There are also more traditional cots, like metal ones, which are perfect for rooms decorated with vintage-inspired styles.

Wooden cribs also have a more organic appearance and are compatible with many nursery decors. They are typically made of either maple or birch, and are varnished in order to shield them from accidental scratches. They can be expensive however, and aren't suitable for everyone's budget.

If you're looking for a child cot that's unique, consider one with curving corners. This gives it a unique design that will help it stand apart from other cots on the market. These cots are also known for their utility because they have more space underneath to store things.

Another option is to buy a cot that is converted into a toddler bed or an adult bed. This is a great method to maximize the value of your money, and it will ensure that your child's bed will last through all of their growth stages. Some cots come with conversion kits, while others can be purchased separately.

When you are choosing a cot ensure that it meets British safety standards. It is essential to make sure that the mattress is properly fitted and there are no gaps that could let your child escape from the crib. Also, you should remove any stickers or decorations that could be an choking hazard, and make sure that the bars aren't too close to each other.

There is a vast variety of cots online and in-store at stores like Dunelm, Ikea and John Lewis. You should always shop in store, as you can view the cots and decide which one is best for your child.
