The 3 Most Significant Disasters In Wooden Bedside Cot History

A Wooden Bedside Cot Offers Versatility and Safety

A bedside cot made of wooden is a secure and practical method to bring your baby closer to you during your sleep time. It can also be used for multiple purposes, easily converting into a bassinet, or a standalone crib.

Some cots are convertible with adjustable mattress bases as well as removable rails. These beds allow you to transition your baby into a toddler's bed as they grow older.

Safety

A quality large bedside crib cot is secure and durable. It will comply with European safety standards and be free of hazards like drop-side mechanisms or soft toys. It will also be free from the kind of dangles and other stickers that could choke or catch infants. If you are using a used cot be sure that it's not painted with lead paint or features an adjustable drop-side mechanism. It must be clean and dry with a breathable, firm mattress that fits snugly without any gaps.

It's also an excellent idea to purchase a new mattress for your cot, since older mattresses are more likely to have sagging or be too thin, which is a choking risk. It's a good idea to avoid adding additional items like pillows and duvets since these increase the risk of suffocation, or spraining. The Lullaby Trust advises you to ensure that your baby's crib is free of any items that may cause distraction or disrupt their sleep, including toys such as dangley cot bumpers and dangley mobiles.

Convenience

Some cots, like the Leander Linea or Stokke Sleepi Mini, have an adjustable height mattress base that lets you keep your child close during bedtime. You can lower the base once your child gets older and becomes capable of standing up, preparing for a routine that is completely independent. Other convertible cots, such as the Comfy Cubs Wooden Bedside Bassinet Sleeper is designed to move from a bedside travel crib crib to a separate bassinet and finally, an adult bed when your child is ready to make the transition. Pair your cot bed with baby-safe accessories to ensure security and comfort.

Design

Depending on the design, the design of a wooden bedside crib travel cot could be either traditional or modern. It could also come with a wood or white finish, which is ideal to create a neutral and sleek nursery design. Some models include a storage drawer.

Parents who would like to sleep next to their child can also choose a co-sleeper crib. These beds can be easily transformed into a bassinet by the removal of the side rails. They are a great and safe option for newborns and babies who aren't yet ready to move into their own bed.

As with any crib, bedside rocking Crib cots need a variety of accessories to ensure your baby is at ease. A comfortable mattress cover that breathes is essential to shield your child from leaks and spills. You can also include a blanket or a cuddly toy for your baby to help him relax.

Durability

Solid wood cot beds are constructed to last for a long time, unlike less durable materials like MDF or chipboard. They're durable enough to withstand the rigours of everyday use and are less prone to releasing off-gasses, which makes them a safe option for your child. They're also easy to disassemble and clean, making it much easier for parents to clean them.

Many designs are available in neutral colors and white to coordinate with the rest of your nursery. You can pair the cot with a white Moses basket as well as a foam mattress and bedding set to create a cohesive look. Some cots, such as the Stokke Sleepi Mini and the Leander Linea, come with a height-adjustable base mattress that can be raised and adjusted to suit your child's needs. This can help them gain independence by teaching them how to get in and out of the bed on their own.

Solid wood cots are an investment that will endure the test of time, and they're versatile enough to be used by many children or handed down to future children. They're also a great option for families that love to regularly change the decor of their bedrooms and can easily be adapted to accommodate new colour designs and styles without sacrificing their function.
