Why No One Cares About Baby Cot

Which Baby Cot is Right For Your Baby?

Cots are designed to stop babies from falling out of their beds, or suffocating in the event of a fall between the mattress and the cot. They should not have sharp edges or protrusions.

Most cots have four secured sides, so you can rest assured that your baby is safe throughout the day. They usually come in the fixed size and could be converted to a toddler bed as your child gets older.
