Innovation
Created with efficiency in mind, many mini cot beds feature innovative design features that optimise space and function. Some models have a built-in changing station to facilitate your ability to change your Baby Crib. This improves the comfort for both you and your child during the diaper changing process. It is also safer since all the essential items are within reach.

These compact designs work well in homes with a limited space or in homes where the nursery also functions as an additional bedroom. Some models can be transformed into a sofa, giving your child even more flexibility.

Comfort
When you are preparing your baby's nursery, it's easy to get caught up on safety and spec features. However it is equally important to consider comfort. If your child is going to spend the majority of their time in the mini cot they choose it is crucial that they are comfortable and safe.

It was simple to put together and Jill was impressed with how it fitted through door frames that are standard. However, do bear in the mind that you'll have to purchase an oval mattress and sheets separately.
Convertibility
Cot beds last longer than standard cribs and give your child an appropriate bed from birth until toddlerhood. This makes cots more durable over cribs. They also are a more cost-effective option, as you don't have to purchase a brand new bed for your child after they grow out of it.
Some cots or cots can also grow with your child. They can be transformed into junior beds, or even small sofas. Stokke Sleepi, for example can be used up to age 2 when you purchase an additional mattress extender and junior conversion kit (sold separately).
