Cotbeds can save you money and space. They are built for safety and help to ease that important and sometimes difficult transition from cot to bed. The conversion is often as simple as removing the side panels of the cot thereby making it an easy transition for your child.
Money Saving and Longer Lasting
- Only one bed to buy in 5 years: You will not need to purchase other items of bedding likes baskets, cots and toddler beds. *
- Different bedding is not required: A different mattress or bedding is not required when the switch is made from a cot to a bed
- Longer lasting: As your cot and toddler bed are rolled into one your cotbed should last until at least the time that your child starts school.
- More environmentally friendly: Fewer items of furniture mean fewer discarded items of furniture.
Safety First
- Different Positions for the Base: When they are newborns you start them off in the higher position so you have easy access. When they can get up on their hands and knees you can then drop the mattress to make it safer for your baby.
- Teething Safety Rails: These can be found on the majority of cotbeds. They act to protect a baby's teeth and also help to prevent any damage to the cot.
- Cotbeds will not have Cut-Outs: These have been proven to be dangerous for babies as they are prone to getting parts of their body stuck in them.
- Slats Spacing: The slats in good quality cotbeds will not be more than 2 3/8 inches apart. This is an important safety feature to ensure that your baby does not get stuck.
Practical and Functional
- No DIY Nightmares: A good quality cotbed should not provide you with any great challenges during assembly.
- Available with Drop-sides: These provide you with easy access to your baby and generally have one-handed operation. These are ideal if you have a bad back or would have problems reaching over and into the cot.
- Easy Transition from Cot to Bed: In most cases it is simply the case that you remove the side panels from the cot. With some cotbeds you get additional head and foot boards whilst others feature split ends so as to reduce the size of the boards.
- Saves on floor space: Compared to adult sized beds cotbeds are considerably smaller. This means that you can save on space in your home for longer.
Practical and Versatile, Cotbeds are quite simply a Good Investment
* It is important to note that the advice from fsid is that the safest place for your baby to sleep for their first six months is either in a crib or a cot in the same room as you. If it is not possible or practical to have a cotbed in your bedroom, or to always be with your baby whilst they are asleep in a cotbed then we would advise that you also get a moses basket or crib for these first few months.
