How to Choose the Best Cot For Newborns A cot is a baby's first bed and will serve as their sleep space until they reach around four years old. Therefore, you want it to be comfy solid and secure. Make sure the mattress is free of gaps, as they could pose a suffocation hazard for babies. Also, look for a cot that can be converted into an infant bed. Single Cot The OEX Ultralite folding cot is one of the lightest options on the market. It weighs only 2.68kg and is priced almost a quarter less than the Helinox version I tested. It's also much easier to set up – the two main poles snap together as do tent poles of unusually high quality with shock cords to keep them in place. Then they slide into sleeves that rest on the legs of their connected legs. You just have to put your feet into them to set up the sleep surface. It can be difficult to take apart. It is necessary to be strong enough to remove the legs, and then it is a bit of work to dismantle the frame. It's a minor issue, and I think it's the lightest cot I've ever tried. If you're looking for something a little more robust and durable, take an interest in the variety of cot beds that are available on the market.

Some cots come with additional features that make life a little easier for parents, such as an easy-to-access drawer underneath the cot, which is great to store items or keep your essentials close to hand, anti-bite plastic rails on the top of the cot to safeguard infants who are teething, and a detachable riser leg that can be used to create a slight incline for babies with reflux.
