Mamas&Papas has a knack for creating practical and stylish nursery furniture, and this crib is not an exception.

The slats of this cot are positioned more apart than other models we have tested and makes it more compact and ideal for bedrooms with smaller spaces. It also has a handy side door that lets you access it easily for feeding, nappies and changing. Our tester only took 12 minutes to set up the cot.

Make sure that the cot bed you choose meet safety regulations. All cots must have bars that are not more than 6.5cm apart so that your baby's limbs don't get caught. Also, check that the slats are firmly secured to prevent any loose or rusty fastenings.

A high-quality cot mattress is also key for your baby's comfort. Look for pocket springs or latex coated Coir mattresses, since they offer the best support and don't shrink like foams. Also, you should consider investing in an waterproof mattress cover since any dirt can get into the mattress and cause your baby to sweat or feel uncomfortable.

Some cots are also equipped with additional features that include gentle rocking motions to help your baby settle (like the SNOO Smarter Cot), adjustable inclines to help ease reflux, and storage for nappy necessities (like the Mamas&Papas Lua Bedside Cot). These are great additions, but only purchase items that are safe and suitable for your child.

It's tempting, but you should take a close look at your budget and lifestyle before buying a cot that comes with additional features like built-in storage and removable bassinet side panels (as the Mamas&Papas Lua Cot).
