Cots protect babies from falling out of bed or suffocating when they fall between the mattress and the cot. They should not have any protrusions or sharp edges.

Standard cots can be easily installed alongside the parents' bed, giving them a view of their child as they sleep. These cots and tots are designed to be safe and secure with fixed sides that prevent babies from climbing on the sides. However, once babies can crawl and stand up, these sides become a danger to safety and must be removed to stop your child from falling out of the their bed or causing injury to themselves.
