Standard Cots
Standard cots are perfect for smaller nursery settings and can be easily fitted alongside parents' beds which allows parents to keep an eye on their baby whilst they rest. These cots are designed to be secure and safe with fixed sides that stop babies from climbing on the sides. But, once babies can crawl and stand up, these sides become a safety hazard and must be removed to stop your child from falling off of the their bed or causing injury to themselves.
Cots are usually circular to help reduce space and are also more compact than traditional cots. They are easy-to-clean and provide a safe and comfortable place for your child to sleep. They can be easily moved between spaces and are often on wheels or castors to allow you to move them around easily.

Our top pick is the John Lewis Elementary cot which scored excellent marks in our tests for being easy to put together. Mom tester Gina said it was "a dream to construct with very clear instructions and pictures". It includes teething rail as well as a drawer to store things in and 3 different positions for the mattress's height.

Another thing to look for is whether the cot is certified as meeting British safety standards. Before 2011, US models were not tested the same as UK models which resulted in the USA banning some dangerous designs. Look for a model that automatically locks the drop side when in the up position and requires two consecutive actions to unlock it, which prevents your baby from being able to pull the side down and get out.
