Safety
When choosing a cot, an environment that is safe for sleeping should be the top priority. Make sure the mattress is snugly fitted, with no gap between it and the cot's bed's sides or ends (big gaps can trap your child's head or arms). Verify that the mattress is firm and thin. Mattresses that are too thick could increase the risk of SIDS. Many companies offer mattresses in different materials including foam and natural materials that are suitable for allergy sufferers. Some even come with an anti-microbial treatment. If your cot has a drop-side, make sure it is locked and in the upward position.
A drop side should only be allowed to drop only when an adult is present - this prevents accidental releases. Avoid placing your cot against a wall if it has a solid end. This will restrict airflow, which can result in death of the coffin. The latest research suggests that slatted edges could be safer since they permit more airflow.
