Built to Last and Save You Money - Just one purchase in the first 5-6 years: There is no need to purchase a separate moses basket, cot or toddler bed as cotbeds can fulfil all of these functions. * - Different bedding is not required: A different mattress or bedding is not required when the switch is made from a cot to a bed - From baby to toddler to child: As a cotbed transitions from a cot to a bed as your child grows you should not need to purchase a larger bed until your child has started 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. - Safety Teething Rails: Most cotbeds come fitted with these. They protect a baby's delicate teeth as well as preventing damage to the cot. - No Cut Outs: Cut-outs in the head or foot boards can be dangerous for babies and toddlers with their inquisitive head, hands and feet. - The Spacing of the Slats: This is an important safety aspect and no decent cotbed will have slats that are spread more than 2 3/8 inches apart. They are Functional and Practical - No DIY Nightmares: A good quality cotbed should not provide you with any great challenges during ***embly. - 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 |

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. - Space Saving: As cotbeds are a good deal smaller than adult beds it means that you can save on floor space for a good deal 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.
