A cot is the infant's first bed, and will be their bed until they are around four years old. You want it to be comfortable, sturdy and secure.

Make sure the mattress is free of gaps as they could pose an entrapment risk for infants. Also consider a convertible cot.

Single Cot

The OEX Ultralite foldable cot is among the lightest options on the market. It weighs just 2.68kg and is priced almost a quarter less than the Helinox version that I tested. It's also a lot easier to set-up. The two main poles snap together, as do tent poles of unusually high quality with shock cords to keep them in place. They then slide into sleeves that rest on the legs of their linked legs. You simply need to place your feet on them to create the sleeping surface.

The only downside is that it's a little tricky to dismantle it - you have to be extremely strong to remove the legs and then it requires some effort to take apart the frame itself. However, this is a minor issue and it's the most lightweight cot I've tried.

Check out the cot bed range on the market if looking for something more robust and long-lasting. If you choose this option, you'll have to buy a new bed for your child once they reach a few years.

Double Cot

A double cot is ideal for newborn twins or siblings who need to sleep together. It comes with the same safety features as a single cot including side rails and a slatted base which can be adjusted as your child grows. It also has multiple support areas, so you can find the ideal size for your child's unique requirements. In addition, this is the only cot we've tested that is designed to accommodate multiple infants at once and can accommodate two infants up to 325 lb. The cot measures 72 inches long. This is a great selling point for families who will need to share space.

One feature that many parents adore about this cot is that it can be converted into a toddler bed, and then onto a junior bed, giving it a longer lifespan and ensuring that you don't need to purchase another new bed. This is important for those with tight budgets and could save you money in the long run as your child develops into an adult.

Most health experts recommend cot beds as they offer the highest level of protection for your child. The bed is designed to be used until your child reaches 2 years. After this, it will have to be changed to a junior bed or toddler bed.

This is the only cot we tested with an adjustable base. The lowest setting is ideal for babies who are still in the supine position. The highest setting is recommended when your baby is able to roll. This is a crucial feature, as children can choke if their heads get trapped between protrusions or gaps in the cot.

The only drawback to this cot is that it's not the most portable, as it requires an enormous amount of effort to fold it and can be a bit finicky when trying to position the legs in a proper position. Additionally, it's the largest cheap cot bed on our list and is a bit heavy to carry around in the event that you have to move it away from the place where it is stored.

Triple Cot

Cots are specially designed for infants and offer an ideal sleeping area that is safe to ensure your baby gets the sleep they need. They are typically lower than beds and have a base that is able to be raised to accommodate your baby's development stage. A majority of cots come with drop-sides that allow you to sleep in a safe environment with your baby. This also makes it easier to feed at the night. Some cots have the option of taking one side off completely, allowing you to use it like an infant bassinet. This is a safer alternative to co-sleeping with your child in your bed.

Some cots also have extra features that simplify the lives of parents. These include an under-bed drawer that is perfect for storage, rails that protect teething babies and a riser leg which can create an angle that can be used for reflux babies. Silver Cross Westport Cot Bed is one of our favourites. It's not just stunning with its minimalist Scandi design and oak finish, but also extremely practical, with three different height settings for the mattress.

It is crucial that your baby gets a good night's sleep. Therefore, it's worthwhile to take the time to choose the ideal cradle or cot for them.

Make sure you check the dimensions of the crib or cot of your baby to make sure it will fit in your bedroom or nursery. Make sure there is enough space to move around and that it is not too close to windows or sources of heat.

Quadruple Cot

If you're expecting triplets or twins then you'll need a quadruple cot. These cots to tots are large enough to accommodate four babies simultaneously and come with bedding sets to make it easier to get your child ready for bed. Many also feature a side rail that can be removed, so you can place your child close to you while they sleep.

Select a cot with mesh sides. This will allow air to circulate and keep your baby cool. Make sure you check the length of the bars as well as they should not exceed 6.5cm apart to keep your baby from escaping. Avoid cots with solid foot and head boards since they can entrap clothing or legs.

Another thing to consider is how easy the cot is to clean. Make sure it's machine washable and what the care instructions are for the fabric as well as any parts that are removable. You'll also have to consider whether your bedding for your cot is suitable or if you'll have to buy some special travel cot sheets.
