Best Cots For Newborns

A crib is a bed that you can place your baby that has high sides to prevent them from falling out. They come in a range of styles from bedside cribs (bassinet-style cots that attach to the side of your bed to allow safe co-sleeping) to travel cribs.

The mom tester Jasmin loved the cot's storage compartment which is ideal for sheets and blankets. It's also easy to set up and has an incline to alleviate reflux.

1. Mamas&Papas Franklin Cot Bed

Cot beds are a parent's best friend, keeping baby snug and (hopefully) sleeping peacefully. When shopping for a crib, there are a lot of things to take into consideration. From safety and specifications to design and style. A good cot should last from birth to toddlerhood. So durability is important. The cot is stylish and sturdy, and it meets all the most recent guidelines. It is also reasonably priced and includes a mattress.

Gemma, mother of Boden, 13 months, tested the product.

Mamas&Papas is a master at designing stylish and practical nursery furniture and this crib is not an exception. It's a chic option for your baby's first room with a contemporary gray finish that will suit any style. It can also be transformed into a cool daybed or a toddler bed for long-term use. It comes with two different heights for the base making it easier to reach baby and safer than a traditional drop-side cot. Its unique shape allows it to fit through most standard doors which is a major benefit for parents who are strapped for time. It even comes with a dresser and change table to keep your baby's essentials in one place.

2. SnuzFino Cot Bed

This crib is designed to support your baby from newborn up to about four years old. It has two mattress levels which means you can start with a higher level and move down as the baby grows and teaches them how to sit up on their own. It was given Gold in the Mother&Baby Awards 2024 for the best Moses basket, cot or crib.

This cot is more streamlined than other models we tested. It's also suitable for smaller rooms. It also has a handy side door, allowing you to access it easily to feed, nappies and changing. Our tester only took 12 minutes to put together the cot.

Look for cot beds that comply with safety standards. To prevent your baby's legs from getting trapped in the cot, it is recommended that all cots have bars that are not more than 6cm apart. Also, make sure that the slats are securely fixed to prevent any loose or loose fastenings.

A good quality mattress for a cot is also essential for the comfort of your baby. Choose mattresses with latex-coated coir or pocket springs that provide the best cot beds support and do not slide. It's worthwhile to invest in a waterproof cover as well since any dirt or soil will be absorbed directly into the mattress and could cause your baby to sweat or be uncomfortable.

Some cots are also equipped with extra bonuses like gentle rocking motions to help your baby settle (like the SNOO Smarter Cot), adjustable inclines to help ease reflux, and storage for nappy essentials (like the Mamas&Papas Lua Bedside Cot). These are great accessories, but only buy items that are suitable and safe for your child.

It should be a few inches shorter than the frame of the cot to prevent your child from being able get out.

5. SnuzFino Bedside Cot

The SnuzFino is one of the more stylish cots on our list, but it's not all about appearances. It's made to last for their first 18 months.

Also, you'll need to purchase the right cot mattress which should fit perfectly with no gaps at the edges and be made of breathable materials to keep your baby's temperature regulated.
