Mini Cot Beds If you're kitting out a smaller nursery or simply want an alternative to a traditional cot bed mini cribs are a great alternative. They are made to last to four years old. They are available in a range of styles and colours. Our mum testers loved this cosy cot bed from Boori. It's simple to build, looks beautiful and has many extra features, like teething rails as well as a storage drawer. Style & Design It's easy to become caught up in the safety and specifications when choosing your baby's cot but remember the style. You want a cot that's stylish and will fit with your nursery regardless whether it's a traditional or modern configuration. The Obaby Maya Mini Cot Bed is our top pick in this category because it's a gorgeous piece that's super-easy to put together and looks great in the room. It's also extremely sturdy and is the only cot we've have tested that we believe will be able to endure the test of time. The bars are narrow, which means there aren't any nooks or crevices for dust to accumulate and make cleaning as easy as is possible. As your baby grows and gets bigger, you can lower the base to prevent them from climbing out. The teething rails will guard them from sharp teeth. Another stunning piece is the Silver Cross Nostalgia – a stunning sleigh-style cot which is suitable from birth and can be transformed into a toddler bed using an extension kit (sold separately). The three height positions will ensure your child is comfortable as they grow but the arduous assembly process could put off some. It's also expensive however it is worth it if you're looking for a timeless design which will last for many years. Tested by: Gemma mom to Boden 13 months old.

This gorgeous solid oak cot made by Clair de Lune is a double-framed masterpiece that's designed to be much more than a place to sleep for your baby. The wood is of high-end quality and has been crafted precisely to ensure durability and long-lasting. Our MFM tester Grace found it easy to put together and the packaging was made to ensure there were no parts left over. However, it's worth noting that this cot does not come with a mattress and you will need to purchase a mattress separately. Innovation Many mini cots are designed with efficiency in mind. They feature innovative design elements that maximize the space and efficiency. For instance, some models include an integrated diaper changing station that makes it easier to change your baby. This enhances the comfort of both you and your child during the diaper changing process. It also makes it safer because all the necessary supplies are within reach. Other unique designs include cribs that fold to make a smaller unit or a crib that has an integrated trundle drawer to provide additional storage space. These compact designs work great in homes with limited space or where the nursery can also be used as an additional bedroom. Some models also convert into a sofa, giving an additional level of flexibility and function for your growing child. In terms of safety, many mini cots are designed to protect your child's wellbeing with features like side rails with safety and non-toxic finishes. This will ensure that they are safe and comfortable throughout their first years. For a modern, stylish cot bed with exceptional design and safety features, look no further than the Obaby Nika mini cot. It is smaller than the full-sized version, but it doesn't sacrifice its functionality. It comes with three mattress base positions for your growing baby as well as teething rails. Our reviewer also found it easy to assemble and move around the room, once it's all set. Its unique oval shape makes it possible to fit through doors that have standard frames. Comfort When you are preparing your baby's nursery, it is easy to get caught up in the safety and specification features. But, comfort is equally important. If your child will spend a great deal of time in the cot bed they choose it is essential that they feel secure and comfortable. It's especially important when you're considering using a Moses basket instead. It is recommended that babies rest close to their parents for the first six months, so a cosy and comfortable cot will allow them to do this while being close to you. The Great Little Trading Company Little Wren Cot Bed is a great choice if you're seeking a high-end cot for smaller spaces that will still provide plenty of room for your baby to grow into a toddler. It's not cheap but it comes with a 1 year warranty and provides a good value for money considering you can use it through toddlerhood. The Mamas & Papas Franklin cot bed is another good option if you're looking for a cot that comes with additional features such as a handy drawer, teething rails, and two adjustable height positions. Our tester Jill found it a doddle to put together and she was impressed by how it fits through door frames that are standard. You will need to buy an oval mattress separately. Convertibility Cot beds are made to last longer than standard cots, providing your child with the bed they need from birth until toddler years. This makes cot beds a more popular choice than a crib and can be a more cost-effective investment because you won't need to purchase a new infant bed for your child when they grow out of it. Some cots and cot beds are designed to adapt to the needs of your child, transforming into junior beds or even small sofa beds. The Stokke Sleepi for example can be used until age 2 and beyond with the purchase of the junior conversion kit and mattress extender (sold separately). It's easy to make and looks great in any nursery, although you'll need an adjustable sheet that can fit the cot bed, not a cot as the gaps between the bars are large. Try the Obaby Nika Mini Cot Bed that is suitable for babies up to four years of age. It's compact and provides modern design and style with a textured oak effect finish. It has three mattress positions to accommodate your growing baby and teething rails to protect your baby.

Storage & Extra Features If you're a mom-to-be looking for a cot bed that will last for a long time after your child has outgrown it, think about getting one that can be converted into a toddler bed. This will save you money on separate furniture for toddlers and will help your child make the transition from their cot to bed.
