Safety

When choosing a cot, a safe sleeping environment should be the top priority.

Some cots have footplates that are adjustable, which is great for toddlers who want to sit up in their bed.

When you place your child's cot, make sure there aren't any obvious dangers. It should be put away from heaters and power points. Also be sure to keep it away from windows, curtains and blind cords. These can all present a strangulation threat. When purchasing second-hand furniture, or heirlooms, make sure to check for potential hazards to your child's safety such as labels and transfers. They can come off and create a risk.
