A cot is a bed for your child with high sides to keep them from falling out. They are available in a variety of styles ranging from bedside cribs - Suggested Reading - (bassinet-style cribs that attach to the side of your bed to allow secure co-sleeping) to travel cribs.

2. SnuzFino Cot Bed

It has two levels of mattress which means you can start with a lower base and move down as the baby grows and learns how to sit up on their own. It was awarded Gold in the Mother&Baby Awards 2024 for best Moses basket or cot.

The slats on this cot are spaced closer together than some of the other models we tested, which makes it more sleek and suitable for smaller bedrooms. It also has a handy side door, allowing you to access it easily for feeding, nappies or changing. Our tester took just 12 minutes to set up the cot.

When choosing a cot bed make sure you choose one that conform to safety regulations. All cots must have bars that are no more than 6.5cm apart to ensure your baby's limbs don't get caught. Also, ensure that the slats are firmly fixed to avoid any loose or loose fastenings.

A high-quality mattress for a cot is also essential for the comfort of your baby. Choose mattresses that are coated with latex or pocket springs, which offer the best support and don't sag. Also, you should consider investing in a waterproof mattress cover, since any dirt can get into the mattress and cause your child to sweat or feel uncomfortable.

Some cots include additional features like adjustable inclines that help ease reflux, and storage for the nappy essentials (such as the Mamas&Papas Lua Bedside Cot). These are great additions, but only purchase items that are suitable and safe for your child.

4. Babyletto Bedside Crib

This bedside crib lets parents snuggle their baby close to them just before the time to go to bed. The NHS suggests that babies be kept in a separate bedroom for the first six months but many parents find their child close to them before bedtime soothing.

This babyletto cot Babyletto is made of non-toxic paint in a wide variety of colors, meaning you'll be able to match it to your bedroom or nursery decor.

It should be a couple of inches smaller than the frame of the cot in order to prevent your child from being able to get out.

5. SnuzFino Bedside Cot

The SnuzFino is one of the more stylish online cots on our list, but it's not all about looks.

The design is timeless and chic, and our tester found it is suitable for any nursery, particularly when you choose a matching changing unit and wardrobe.

Whatever cot is chosen, make sure that it complies with the guidelines applicable to your baby's age as well as your home. The bars' spacing should not be more than 6.5cm (two inches), as this will stop infants from getting their heads stuck. Also, the surface should not be rough to avoid suffocation. You'll also have to purchase the right cot mattress which must be a perfect fit without gaps at the edges and be made of breathable materials to ensure that your baby's temperature is kept in check.

Although it's tempting to purchase a cot with extra features like built-in storage drawers and sides that can be removed for the bassinet (as with the Mamas and Papas Lua Cot) however, these must be carefully considered in light of your budget and lifestyle. The best cots are simply made to allow your Baby Cot Bed to sleep comfortably and safely and you can usually find all-in-one cribs that offer plenty of storage space, without costing a fortune.
