Best Cots For Newborns

A crib is a bed for your child with high sides to keep them from falling out. They are available in a variety of styles, from bedside cribs (bassinet-style cribs that attach to the side of your bed for secure co-sleeping) to travel cribs.

The mum tester Jasmin appreciated the cot's storage compartment that is perfect for blankets and sheets. It is also easy to set up and has an inclined design to ease reflux.

1. Mamas&Papas Franklin Cot Bed

Cot beds are a new parent's best friend, ensuring that the baby snug and (hopefully) asleep peacefully. When you are looking for a cot, there are many things to consider. From safety and spec to design and style. A good cot should be able to last through the newborn stage and into toddlerhood, so durability is key. This cot is stylish, robust and is in compliance with the most current standards. It's also priced reasonably and comes with a mattress.

This cot is a fantastic illustration of how Mamas&Papas can create stylish and practical nursery furniture. It's a modern choice for the baby's first bedroom with a modern grey finish that'll fit in with any color scheme. It can also be converted into a cool toddler bed or a day bed for long-lasting use. It comes with two base height positions too which makes it easier to reach for baby and more secure than a traditional drop-side cot. The shaped base allows it to pass through most standard doors which is a major bonus for parents with a tight schedule. There's even a matching dresser and change table to keep all your baby's necessities close at hand.

2. SnuzFino Cot Bed

This crib is designed to support your baby from birth to around four years old. It comes with two mattress heights so you can begin with a high base and then lower as your little one grows and learns to sit up on their own without assistance. It was awarded Gold in the Mother&Baby awards 2024 for the best cot, crib or Moses basket and is a top choice for parents.

The cot is more compact than other models we've tested. It's also ideal for smaller rooms. It also comes with a convenient side door so you can access it easily for feeding, nappies and changing. Our tester took only 12 minutes to put together the cot.

When selecting a cot make sure you choose one that meet safety standards. All cots offers must have bars that are no more than 6.5cm apart to ensure that your baby's limbs cannot become trapped. Make sure the slats on your cot are securely fastened to prevent any loose or rusty fittings.

It is essential that your baby has a comfortable cot mattress. Find pocket springs or latex coated Coir mattresses, since they offer the best support and don't sag like foams. It is also recommended cribs to purchase an waterproof mattress cover as any dirt will get into the mattress itself and cause your child to sweat or feel uncomfortable.

Some cots also come with extra bonuses like gentle rocking movements to help your baby settle (like the SNOO Smarter Mini Cot Bed) and adjustable inclines that ease reflux, and storage for the nappy essentials (like the Mamas&Papas Lua Bedside Cot). These are great accessories, but only buy items that are safe and suitable for your child.

3. Graco SnuzFino Bedside Crib

If you want a bedside crib that can be used from birth and place close to your bed while your baby sleeps, this one might be just what you're looking for. Its compact design can fit through doors that have standard frames, and weighs just 6 kg. This makes it easy to move around your home. It's also easy to climb up and down from it, which is ideal for those nappy changes.

It's light and portable, meaning you can move it easily between rooms or even during a trip. Its standalone design is popular with new parents who require to have access to their infant cot bed easily during the first few months of parenting. It comes with a padded mattress and a reflux wedge cover that are both useful features.

It also converts to an infant bed using the included Toddler Kit (PS70), which is great news for parents as it means it will last until your child is ready to transition from the cot. This is a beautiful cot bed with the Scandi look. It will look great in your nursery.

Another alternative is this simple solid pine cot that is suitable from birth to 3 years and costs just PS372. Our testers really liked the stylish design of the panel. It's simple to assemble and comes with a teething rail, storage drawer, and adjustable height settings. Its small size means it's an ideal option for anyone with a smaller space or who has sloped ceilings. Its sturdy stature also means it can stand the years and won't be prone to falling apart like cot beds do.

4. Babyletto Bedside Crib

This crib that is placed at the bedside is ideal for parents who wish to cuddle their infant close before bedtime. The NHS recommends that babies be kept in a separate bedroom for the first 6 months however, many parents find their child near them prior to bedtime relaxing.

The cot comes in a range of colors and non-toxic paints which means it can be customized to your nursery or bedroom decor. It's also a good choice for parents with sloped ceilings who don't want a cot to take up a lot of floor space. It can be adjusted to eleven different heights, and tilted to four different positions. This includes an incline for reflux.

It's also a solidly built design that will last into the toddler years. One test-taker told us that her baby was in the crib for two years and that it was in good enough condition to pass on to her youngest.

Another plus is that the cot is small and compact, making it easy to set up and move around if required. It's an ideal choice for parents with smaller rooms and can be used as a travel cot, too. Testers found it a dream to put together and loved the storage drawer to keep everything you need for your baby. It's not cheap but it's worth it for its design and function. The cot doesn't include a mattress, so you'll need to buy one separately. We suggest settling for a comfortable, airy mattress that is snug to keep your baby from becoming trapped. It should be a couple of inches smaller than the frame of the cot to avoid your child being capable of climbing out.

5. SnuzFino Bedside Cot

The SnuzFino cot is among our sleekest models, but it's not only about looks. This cot is designed to last your newborn for their first 18 months. It could also be converted into a toddler's bed by adding an additional toddler kit. The design is timeless and chic, and our tester found it would suit any nursery - especially in the event that you decide to purchase a matching changing table and wardrobe.

No matter what kind of cot you choose, always ensure that it is in compliance with the relevant regulations for your baby's age group and your home. The distance between bars should be no more than 6.5cm (2 inches) which will stop babies' heads from getting trapped, and the surface should be smooth to avoid suffocation risks. You'll need the mattress for your cot that is perfect and has no gaps around the edges. It must also be made from air-tight materials to regulate your baby's body temperature.

Although it's tempting to purchase a cot with additional features such as built-in storage drawers and sides that can be removed for the bassinet (as with the Mamas & Papas Lua Cot) These should be carefully considered in the light of your budget and your lifestyle. The best cots are simply designed to let your baby sleep comfortably and safely and you can usually find cot beds with plenty of storage space, without costing you a fortune.

If you're looking to find a high-tech option for your baby, the SNOO Smart Sleeper crib comes with an inbuilt sensor that responds to the baby's cry and gently rock them to sleep in a manner that mimics their mother's womb. The cost might be a bit steep, but for those who have a difficult time sleeping, it could be worth the investment.
