A crib is an elevated bed for your child that prevents them from falling off. There are a variety of styles including bedside cribs to travel cots.

The mom tester Jasmin loved the cot's storage space which is ideal for sheets and blankets. It's also easy to set-up and comes with an inclined design to ease reflux.

1. Mamas&Papas Franklin Cot Bed

Cot beds are often a parent's best friend. They keep baby snug, and (hopefully), sleeping soundly. When shopping for a there's a lot to consider, from specs and safety to design and style. A good cot should last from birth to toddlerhood. So durability is important. This crib is stylish, durable and is in compliance with the most current regulations. It's also priced reasonably, and includes a mattress.

Mamas&Papas is a master at creating practical and stylish nursery furniture, and this cot is not an exception. It's a modern option for baby's first bedroom, with an elegant grey finish that will suit any colour scheme. It can also be converted into a cool day bed or toddler bed for long-term use. It also comes with two different heights for the base, making it safer and easier to reach your child than a standard drop side cot. It's also designed with a shaped base, so it fits through the majority of doors, a real bonus for time-stretched parents. It even comes with a dresser and change table to keep your baby's essentials in one place.

2. SnuzFino Cot Bed

This cot will grow with your baby from birth to about four years old. It has two levels of mattress which means you can start with a lower base and then lower it as the baby grows and learns how to sit up on their own. It was given Gold in the Mother&Baby Awards 2024 for the most beautiful Moses basket or crib, cot or crib.

The cot is more compact than the other models we've tested. It's also suitable for smaller spaces. It also comes with a convenient side door so you can access it easily to feed, nappies and changing. Our tester took just 12 minutes to set up the cot.

Find cot beds that comply with safety standards. To prevent your baby's legs from getting trapped in the cot, it is recommended cribs that all cots have bars that are no more than 6 centimeters apart. Also, make sure that the slats have been securely fixed to prevent any loose or damaged fastenings.

It is important that your baby sleeps on a mattress that is comfortable for their cot. Choose mattresses with latex-coated coir or pocket springs that provide the best crib support and do not slide. It is worthwhile to invest in a waterproof cover, too, as any soiling will get into the mattress and could make your baby sweaty or uncomfortable.

Some cots are also equipped with extra bonuses like gentle rocking movements to help your baby settle (like the SNOO Smarter Cot), adjustable inclines to ease reflux and storage for nappy essentials (like the Mamas&Papas Lua Bedside Cot). These are a great alternative, but be sure to only purchase items that are safe and are suitable for your baby's.

3. Graco SnuzFino Bedside Crib

This crib is ideal for those who want to use it from birth and keep it in your bedroom while your baby sleeps. It's compact design fits through standard door frames, and weighs just 6 kg. This makes it simple to move around your home. It's also a breeze to get up and down from, perfect for changing nappy.

It's light and portable, meaning you can easily move it between rooms or even during a trip. Its design on its own is popular with new parents who want to have access to their infant easily in the early stages of parenting. It comes with a comfortable mattress and a reflux wedge cover and a wedge cover, both of which are useful features.

The included Toddler Kit will also allow it to be transformed into a toddler bed which is great for parents as it will last for as long as your child will need it. This is a gorgeous crib bed with a Scandi look. It will look stunning in your nursery cots.

Another alternative is this simple solid pine cot that is suitable from birth to three years and costs only PS372. Our test subjects loved its elegant panelled design. It's simple to put together, and has a handy storage drawer, a teething rail and height settings that are adjustable. They are helpful for keeping your newborn safe. Its compact size makes it an ideal option for those with low ceilings or small space. Its solid construction will also ensure it stands the years and won't be at risk of falling apart like some cot beds can.

4. Babyletto Bedside Crib

This bedside crib is perfect for parents who wish to snuggle their baby up close to them prior to the time to go to bed. The NHS suggests that babies be kept in a separate bedroom for the first 6 months however, many parents find having their child close prior to bedtime relaxing.

This cot from Babyletto is made from non-toxic paints in a vast range of colors, so you can match it to your bedroom or nursery decor. It's also a good choice for parents with ceilings that slope who don't want a cot to take up a lot of floor space. It can be adjusted to 11 different heights and tilted into four positions, including an incline that aids in reflux.

It's also a solidly built design that will last well into the toddler years. One tester for parents said that her baby was in the crib for two months and it was in good enough condition to pass on to her newest.

Another benefit is that this cot is tiny and compact, making it easy to set up and move around when needed. It is a good choice for parents with limited space and can also function as portable cot. Testers said it was easy to assemble and loved the storage drawer that can be used to store all your little one's necessities. It is a bit expensive, but it's worth the investment because of the design and the functionality. The cot isn't equipped with an mattress, so you'll need to buy one separately. We recommend an airy, firm mattress that is fitted to keep your child from being trapped. It should be a few inches shorter than the frame of the cot in order to avoid your child being capable of climbing out.

5. SnuzFino Bedside Cot

The SnuzFino cot is one of our sleekest models, but it's not only about looks. With two mattress heights, this cot will see your baby through the first 18 months, and be converted into a toddler bed with the addition of an (available separately) toddler kit. The style is stylish and timeless and our test subject found it to be a perfect fit for any nursery. Particularly if you select a matching changing table and wardrobe.

Whatever cot you select, ensure that it complies with relevant requirements for your baby's age and your home. The spacing between bars should not exceed 6.5cm (2 inches) which will stop babies' heads from getting trapped, and the surface should be smooth to avoid dangers of suffocation. You'll also have to purchase a suitable cot mattress, that is ideally sized with no gaps around the edges and be made from breathable materials that keep your baby's temperature in check.

Although it's tempting to purchase a cot with extra features like drawers for storage built-in and side panels that can be removed from the bassinet (as with the Mamas and Papas Lua Cot) These should be carefully considered in the light of your budget and your lifestyle. The most suitable cots allow your child to rest comfortably and securely. There are many all-in-one cots with plenty of storage that won't cost a lot.

If you are seeking a cutting-edge option, the SNOO crib with Smart Sleeper comes with a built-in sensor that responds to your baby's cries. It gently lulls the baby to sleep in a motion similar to the womb of their mother. The price is a little steep, but it could be worth the investment for fussy sleepers.
