4 Tips To Finding The Best Cribs For Baby

From safety to durability and everything in between, there is a laundry list of things parents need to consider when picking out their baby-to-be’s cot. Here at LDV, we understand just how important your baby’s health and well-being are to you, which is why our team has taken the liberty of sourcing the key things to consider when looking for a cot and put them in an easy-to-read list just for you.

When shopping for a cot, always ensure that it has a:

Safe slat distance: For safety reasons, the distance between slats shouldn’t exceed 6 centimetres. This is to ensure that your baby doesn’t fall out of the cot or get their head stuck between the slats.
BS number: According to Which?, it’s best to opt for a newer cot that has a BS EN 716-1:2008+A1:2013 label as this “will tell you whether or not your new cot bed meets all-important European safety standards.”
Firm mattress: It is essential that you pick the firmest mattress you can find for your baby’s cot as this will significantly reduce the risk of SIDS. It’s also essential that you make sure the mattress fits the cot perfectly as this will prevent your little one from slipping between the mattress and the cot sides.
Teething rail: As your baby grows and starts developing teeth, they’ll start gnawing on things (including the sides of their cots). That said, it’s a good idea to invest in a cot with a built-in teething rail. This feature will help protect your baby from getting hurt and ensure your cot lasts for as long as it needs to.

The 4 Best Boori Cots And Mattresses On The Market

“On average, babies (especially newborns) spend about 16 hours a day or more sleeping,” says our parenting expert, Jessica Pinker, “That’s why it’s imperative any parent-to-be picks a cot that’s not only safe but will last until their little one is ready to move into their first bed.”

And what better brand for the job than Boori? Boori has spent the last 30 years creating cots that are the perfect balance between beautiful, safe and practical. Their dedication to craftsmanship and sustainability is nothing short of admirable, hence why our team exclusively picked Boori cots and mattresses as their recommendations.
