mini cot beds (visit)

Mini cot beds are a great alternative to traditional cots especially if you have smaller children's rooms. These beds are made to be used until your child reaches the age of four and are available in a variety of colors and styles.

The cozy bed from Boori was a big hit with our mum testers. It's easy to assemble, looks stunning and has a lot of additional features including teething rails, a drawer for storage, and is very stylish.

Style & Design

It can be easy to get caught up in specifications and safety features when you are choosing a crib for your baby but remember the style. You need a cot that looks stylish and will fit in with your nursery, regardless of whether it's a modern or traditional arrangement.

The Obaby Maya Mini Cot Bed is our top choice in this category because it's a gorgeous piece that's super-easy to build and looks stunning in the room. It's also extremely sturdy and is the only cot we've have tested that we believe will stand the test of time. The bars are narrow, which means there aren't any nooks or crevices to collect dust and make cleaning as simple as possible. As your baby grows and develops, you can lower the base further to prevent them from climbing out. The teething rails guard them from sharp teeth.

Another beautiful piece is the Silver Cross Nostalgia - a beautiful sleigh-style cot that's suitable from birth and can be transformed into a bed for toddlers using an extension kit (sold separately). The three different heights will keep your child comfortable as they grow up, but the tedious assembly process could make some people hesitant. It's also costly however it is worth it if you're looking for an elegant design that will last for many years. Tested by: Gemma mother to Boden, 13 months.

We love this elegant solid oak cot by Clair de Lune It is a double-framed work of art designed to be more than just a place for your baby to sleep. The wood is of premium quality and has been made with precision to ensure long-lasting and durable. Grace the MFM tester was able to put it together easily and the packaging was designed to ensure there were no pieces left behind. However, it's important to know that this cot does not come with a mattress and you'll need to purchase a mattress separately.

Innovation

Designed with efficiency in mind, many mini cots come with innovative design features that optimize space and functionality. Some models include a built-in changing station to help you to change your baby. This increases the comfort of both of you and your child during the diaper changing process. It also makes it safer as all the essential items are within reach.

Other designs that are innovative include a crib with built-in trundles for additional storage or a cot which folds into a small unit.

For a premium, modern-looking cot bed that is a masterpiece of design and safety features Look no further than the Obaby Nika mini cot. It is smaller than its full-sized equivalent, but it doesn't sacrifice functionality. It comes with three mattress bases for your growing baby as well as teething rails. Our reviewer also found it easy to put together and move around the room after it's been assembled. Its unique oval shape allows it to fit into doors with standard frames.

Comfort

When you are preparing your baby's nursery, it's easy to get caught-up on safety and spec features. However, comfort is equally important. If your child will spend a great deal of time in the cot they choose, it is important that they are comfortable and safe.

It's not cheap, but it does come with a one-year guarantee and is a great value for money since it can be used from birth until the age of toddlerhood.

The Mamas & Papas Franklin cot bed is another option to consider if you're looking at an cot with added features like a drawer, teething rails, and two adjustable height positions. Our test subject Jill found it a doddle to put together, and she loved how it fits through door frames that are standard. However, do bear in mind that you'll need to purchase an oval mattress and sheets separately.

Convertability

Cot beds are made to last longer than standard cots. They provide your child with the bed they require from birth until toddler years. This makes cots more durable over cribs. They also are an economical option since you don't need to purchase a new bed for your child when they are no longer in it.

Some cots or cot beds can also grow with your child's. They can be transformed into junior beds, or small sofas. The Stokke Sleepi for example can be used until age 2 and beyond by purchasing a junior conversion kit and mattress extender (sold separately). It's simple to install and looks fantastic in any nursery. However, you'll require a fitted sheet to make a cot-bed rather than a crib because the gaps are quite wide.
