Make sure the mattress is free of gaps, because they can pose an entrapment risk for infants. Also, look for a cot that can be converted into a toddler bed.

Single Cot

The OEX Ultralite foldable cot is among the lightest options on the market. It weighs 2.68kg and is nearly a quarter of the price of the Helinox version I tested. It's also much easier to set up - the two main poles snap together like tent poles that are unusually thick with shock cords to hold them in position. Then they are able to slide into sleeves on the legs of their linked legs. You simply need to put your feet in them to set up the sleeping surface.

If you want something a little more robust and permanent, then take a look at the range of cot beds available on the market. They're usually suitable from birth to about 2 years old, so you'll need to purchase one bed for your child at some point if you decide to go with this option.

This is the only cot we tested with an adjustable base. The lowest setting is suitable starting at birth, while the highest setting is suitable for when your baby is able to roll. This is a vital aspect as babies can choke if their head becomes trapped between gaps or protrusions within the cot.

The only downside to this cot is that it's not the most mobile, as it takes a large amount of effort to fold, and can be quite finicky when trying to get the legs. It is also the largest cot we've reviewed and is a bit heavy to carry around if you need to move it from its storage area.

They are usually smaller than beds and the base is able to be raised depending on your baby's developmental stage. A majority of cots come with drop-sides that allow you to sleep in a safe environment with your baby. This makes it easier to feed at the evening. Some cots offer the option of taking one side off completely which allows you to use it as a bassinet. This is a safer alternative than co-sleeping with your baby in your bed.

Some cots come with additional features that can make life a little easier for parents, like an easy-to-access drawer underneath the cot which is ideal to store items or keep your essential items close at hand, anti-bite plastic rails that are placed on top of the cot to protect teething babies and a detachable riser leg that can be used to create a slight slope for reflux babies. Silver Cross Westport Cot Bed is among our top choices. It is not only beautiful with its minimalist Scandi design and oak finish, but it is also practical with three different height settings for the mattress.
