Cots might only be used for a relatively short period of time in your life, but it’s vital that they're safe for your little one to use.
Many years ago parents had very little choice when it came to furnishing the nursery; now theres so many options you dont know where to start so here is some handy points to help you along.
1. Start researching early
It always pays to start researching cots as early as possible and be prepared that you may change your mind a few times.
2. Consider choosing a bassinet
You can delay the purchase of a cot if you decide you’d prefer to sleep baby in a bassinet for the first four to six months. Many parents choose this option so that baby feels cocooned in a more womb-like environment than a cot can provide. This spreads out the cost of setting up for baby over a longer time span and the bassinet can be stored away for a sibling or two down the track. However, Cots are totally fine to get.

3. The size of the room
If the nursery is small, the cot needs to fit and still leave space for other furniture. Where space is limited, make sure you use it wisely.

A suggestion is a take measurements of how big the item in the Nursery you would think would suit well. Then you can make sure you have have enough room without over crowding.
4. Drop Rail
Some people like drop rails but they are an individual choice. They will protect you back from lifting babies or toddlers out.

There comes a time when your little needs to move in to a bigger bed. There are many cots that are able to be converted into a toddler bed. All in one package. This helps a lot with slowly converting them and settling in a lot easier.
6. Co-ordinating furniture
If you would like a steamless look to the nursery, investigate brands which make co-ordinating change tables, dressers and bookcases.

7. Factor in Mattress Costs
Mattresses are almost always an add-on. Factor this cost into your budget and expect to pay from $100 to $200.

8. Castors or Wheels
Also consider whether you’d like a cot with wheels.Many cots are easy to move a few metres even though they don’t have castors; Castors make it easier to clean underneath the cot and move it to another room.
