Top 10 Best Baby Cots

1. Make sure it is tested by Furntech AFRDI

This is an Australian independent test facility that is trusted by the Australian regulators, so you know your cot is safe for your precious baby. Look for the orange tick when buying – when safety is your priority.

2. It must be made with real timber

Most baby cots Australia are made from composite materials like chipboard and MDF or rattan, with a laminate on top to make them look like real wood. These peel, swell and deteriorate easily in our extreme climate. Purchase real wood – you won’t be disappointed.

3. Measure your space

Think about where you would like to sleep your baby. For example, in a separate nursery or in your room. Measure the space you have so your cot fits comfortably and safely in your space.

4. Consider what is best for your body

If you suffer from back pain or you are shorter than most (reminder good things come in small packages 😊) then consider a cot with a safe single hand drop side, which allows the side to lower so you can pick up and lower your baby into the cot, without falling headfirst and bum up!

5. Create a better future for your baby and our earth

Look for baby cots Australia that grow with your child, so they are more sustainable for the earth and better for your family as they support easier transitioning as your child grows.
