It should be free of hazards like entrapment and suffocation. While searching for the ideal cot, look for the following safety features:

Check that the bars aren't more than 95 mm apart. Check that the bars do not exceed 95 mm apart. The larger gaps can hinder your baby's arms and head. Make sure the cot is enough depth to stop your child from escaping.

It should also be kept away from heaters, power points and windows which could pose a risk of overheating. It is also recommended to keep the cot free of toys including stuffed animals, toys and other soft items which could pose a danger to your baby. Also, ensure that your cot is free of curtains and blinds that have cords. These could be a strangulation hazard for your child.

Experts in the industry test and confirm that the majority of new cots, cot beds and cribs are safe. Some issues can arise after a product has been put on the market.

Cots manufactured before 1973 could be painted with toxic lead paint, and old stickers on the sides can peel and become an choking hazard for infants.
