The Westport Cot Bed will look beautiful in a Scandi nursery. It also offers a great amount of flexibility with three mattress support levels and the ability to transform into an infant bed.

Bassinets are a good option when you live in a smaller house. Cribs can take up a lot more space. Many parents choose a crib because of security concerns.

Safety

The choice of the best cots crib for newborns is crucial for your baby's health and wellbeing. You should ensure that it meets the current safety standards and is free of dangers that could cause harm to your baby while they sleep. It should be well-constructed and sturdy, with no loose pieces that could get caught on clothing or pose danger of choking. It is important to follow the directions of the manufacturer to set up and use the crib and to inspect the crib on a regular basis.

The first thing to look at is the space between the slats. It shouldn't be more than 2 and 3/4 inches apart to prevent your baby from falling over or getting their limbs caught between them. You should also be able easily reach and see your baby in the crib. If you cannot reach your baby, the slats must be broader and not as close to each other.

Another aspect of the crib to consider is the mattress support system. It is important to adjust the heights, so that you can lower the mattress as your baby grows. This will help to reduce the possibility of your baby getting out of the crib which is a frequent occurrence as they learn to crawl.

A fitted sheet that is secure enough to fit over the bed and a sturdy and stable construction are other safety features you should be looking for. Pick a crib with fixed sides instead of one with drop sides. Drop sides can be hazardous for your child. It is also recommended to sleep in the same room as your baby for the first six months or so, and then move them to their own bedroom when they are old enough to be watched when they sleep on their own.

Finally, you should ensure that the crib is positioned away from radiators and windows and that any hanging objects like blind cords or curtains are kept out of reach. Also, you should remove any items that could present danger of choking, such as blankets or pillows. Be wary of buying second-hand cribs, because they may not have met the safety standards of today or been recalled due to other reasons.

Design

Most cribs feature circular bars without gaps or rough surfaces that could trap babies or pinch them. We also evaluated each crib and rated it based on its ease of use and assembly. We suggest choosing a crib with fewer parts to avoid confusion.
