Best Baby Cots Cots For Newborns

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

The mother tester Jasmin appreciated the cot's storage compartment which is ideal for sheets and blankets. It is also easy to set-up and comes with an incline that helps with reflux.

1. Mamas&Papas Franklin Cot Bed

Cot beds can be the perfect companion for parents. They keep baby snug and (hopefully) asleep soundly. When you are looking for a cot, there are plenty of aspects to consider. From safety and specifications to design and style. A good cot should be able to last through the newborn stage and even toddlerhood, so long-term durability is essential. This cot is stylish and sturdy and is in compliance with all of the latest guidelines. It's also affordable and includes an extra mattress.

Mamas&Papas is adept at creating practical and stylish nursery furniture, and this crib is not an exception. It's a stylish choice for the baby's first bedroom with a contemporary gray finish that can be matched to any colour scheme. It can also be converted into a cool daybed or toddler bed for long-term use. It comes with two different heights for the base which makes it easier to reach baby and safer than a standard drop-side cot. And it's designed with a shaped base that means it can fit through the majority of doors, an absolute benefit for busy parents. There's even a dresser/changer to keep all your newborn essentials close by.

2. SnuzFino Cot Bed

This cot is designed to follow your baby from the time of birth to about four years old. It comes with two mattress levels, so you can begin with a higher base and then move to a lower one as your baby grows and learns to sit up on their own. It was named Gold in the Mother&Baby Awards 2024 for the best Moses basket or cot.

This cot bed sales is more streamlined than other models that we have tested. It's also suitable for smaller spaces. It also features a handy side door so you can reach in easily for feeding, nappies or changing. Our tester took just 12 minutes to put together the cot.

Find cot beds that conform to safety regulations. All cots must have bars that are not more than 6.5cm apart to ensure that your baby's limbs cannot become trapped. Make sure that the slats of your cot are securely secured to prevent any loose or rusty fittings.

It is essential that your baby has a mattress that is comfortable for their cot. Select mattresses made of latex-coated coir or pocket springs that provide the most support and don't sag. It is worth investing in a waterproof cover, too because any dirt will go 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 aid in settling your baby (like the SNOO Smarter Cot), adjustable inclines to help ease reflux, and storage for nappy necessities (like the Mamas&Papas Lua Bedside Cot). These can be a wonderful alternative, but be sure to only buy additional items that fit safely and are suitable for your baby's.

3. Graco SnuzFino Bedside Crib

This crib is perfect if you would like to use it from birth and have it near your bed as baby sleeps. It's compact design fits through doors that have standard frames, and weighs only 6kg. This makes it simple to move about your home. It's also easy to climb up and down from, perfect for changing nappy.

It's light and portable, meaning you can easily move it between rooms or even during a trip. Its standalone design is a favorite among new parents who want to easily access their infant in the early stages. It comes with a padded mattress and a reflux wedge cover, both of which are useful features.

It also converts to a toddler bed with the included Toddler Kit (PS70), which is a great benefit for parents because it it will last until your child is ready to step away from the cot. This is a beautiful cot bed that has an Scandi look. It will look stunning in your nursery.

Another great alternative is this basic solid pine cot, which is suitable from birth to three years old and costs just PS372. Our testers loved its stylish panelled look. It is easy to assemble and comes with a teething rail, storage drawer and adjustable height settings. Its compact size makes it a great option for those with sloped ceilings or smaller space. Its robust construction means it will last for many years and will not break like some cot-beds.

4. Babyletto Bedside Crib

This crib at the bedside lets parents snuggle their baby close to them just before bedtime. The NHS recommends that babies be placed in a separate room for the first six months, but many parents find it soothing to have their child close before they go to sleep.

This cot is available in a range of colors and non-toxic paints and can be customized to your nursery or bedroom decor. It's a great choice for parents who have sloped ceilings and don't want to take up too much space on the floor. It can be adjusted to 11 different heights, and then tilted into four positions with an incline option that helps with reflux.

It's also a sturdy product that will last into the toddler years. One test-taker stated that her child was in the cot for two babies and that it was in good enough condition to pass on to her newest.

Another plus is that this cot is small cot beds and compact, which makes it easy to put together and move around as needed. It is a good choice for parents with a limited space. It can also function as a portable cot. It was easy to assemble and the testers loved the storage drawer, which held all of your baby's essentials. It's not cheap but it's an excellent purchase due to its design and functionality. You'll need to buy a mattress separately for this crib. We recommend an airy, firm mattress that fits snugly to keep your baby from becoming drowned. It should be a few inches smaller than the frame of the cot to stop your child from being able to climb out.

5. SnuzFino Bedside Cot

The SnuzFino cot is among our most stylish, but it isn't just about appearances. With two mattress heights the cot can see your baby through the first 18 months, and even convert into a toddler bed by adding an (available separately) toddler kit. The design is elegant and timeless, and our tester thought it would fit any nursery. Especially if you choose an accompanying changing table and wardrobe.

No matter what type of cot you choose, be sure it is in line with the rules that apply to your baby's age as well as your home. The spacing between bars shouldn't be more than 6.5cm (two inches) in order to keep infants from snagging their heads. Also the surface shouldn't be rough to prevent suffocation. You'll need a cot mattress that fits perfectly without gaps around the edges. It must also be made of air-tight materials to keep your baby's body temperature in check.

While it's tempting to purchase a cot with extra features like drawers for storage built-in and sides that can be removed for the bassinet (as with the Mamas&Papas Lua Cot), these should be carefully considered in light of your budget and lifestyle. The best cots are simply made to allow your Baby Crib to sleep comfortably and safely and you can usually find all-in-one cribs that offer plenty of storage without costing you a fortune.

If you are seeking a cutting-edge alternative, the SNOO crib with Smart Sleeper comes with a built-in sensor that can respond to your baby's cry. It gently rock into the same way as the mother's womb. The cost is a bit expensive, but it could be worth the investment for sleepers who are fussy.
