Moreover, it becomes a toddler bed for older infants as time goes by, and can eventually be utilized as a daybed in the future. Convertible baby cots are usually more expensive as opposed to other categories of cribs due to these long-lasting benefits.

Round cribs are distinctly styled and they possess a classic yet modern exterior, full of posters and canopies. When you invest in round cribs, you will have to buy round accessories as well. For instance, round bumpers, round mattresses, and crib beddings. These bedding supplies are usually more costly as opposed to the conventional sheets and crib beddings.

Canopy Cribs

SHOP NOW

This type of cot is known as a canopy due to the fact that it has a canopy on top. Canopy cribs are very popular as they are comfy, and deliver a comfy plus cute environment for the baby to sleep in. Moreover, the canopy offers the crib a rare appearance that will catch your attention instantly. Remember to remove the canopy when your baby turns four months old as the child can easily hang on it and fall.

The Sleigh Crib

SHOP NOW

This sleigh-style crib is becoming more and more demanding. It is designed to resemble a sleigh and this unique appearance can easily uplift the aesthetic of a nursery. The majority of sleigh cots are made by using headboards and solid footboards instead of the traditional slats. This is why the solid wooden pieces increase their costs as compared to the traditional cots.

Drop-Side Cribs

SHOP NOW

These cribs were a hyped uptrend for many years because the drop-side allows the parents to easily get the child in and out of the cot. Many parents think that the lower part of the rail is highly useful and more accommodating to their backs. But the drop-side crib might not be safe for children as it can lead to injuries or even death when the child falls off the cot.

Size of the Crib

Depending on the availability of space, you can opt for the mini cot or a full-size (standard) cot. The inner measurements of a full-size cot are standard which means that all standard cot mattresses fit ideally into a full-size cot. On the other hand, the internal measurements of a mini cot are not regulated by the market. This can cause a problem while purchasing a mini cot mattress.

• A full-size cot is a standard-size crib having the internal measurements of 52 ⅜ plus ⅝ inches of length multiplied by 28 plus ⅝ inches of width.
• A cot that is smaller than the dimensions mentioned above is a mini cot. But thankfully, the majority of mini cots are 24 inches wide and 38 inches long. This is the measurement of an abundance of mini cot mattresses.

Full-Size Cot Versus Mini Cot

In case you are blessed with sufficient space and have no other unique needs, deciding to go for a full-size cot is, definitely, a better idea. Your baby can use the full size for a long period of time and a generous area to sleep. Even though a convertible mini cot still remains an option, keep in mind that it transforms into a mini toddler or a mini daybed. However, plenty of mini cots transforms into a twin-size bed, which is similarly long to any bed. A mini cot can provide the same features as a full-size model but in smaller measurements. Even though it possesses a smaller footprint as compared to a full-size cot, the height of both models is almost the same. Therefore, even if mini cots are smaller, your baby won't be able to climb out of them. Although high-quality mini cots are as comfy, secure, and strong as the bigger variants, they won't be satisfactory after the first year. This is because of the fact that they are still smaller which is why babies grow out of them earlier.

When to Buy a Mini Cot?

Mini cots are famous among people who have restricted space in their homes. For instance, if you reside in a small apartment, going for a mini cot can save a lot of important space where you can store other belongings of your baby. Preferring a mini cot over a Pack 'N Play cot is a better and more attractive choice. A mini portable cot is also a usual preference for grandparents' houses because it does not take up a lot of areas and can be folded away when you are not using it. A mini cot is also a better and more long-lasting alternative to a newborn bassinet. The safest co-sleeping option is room-sharing without sharing a bed. A mini cot is also a decent choice for a couple who are blessed with twins! Two mini-size cots instead of two full-size cots will save an abundance of the area in the baby nursery. And last but not the least advantage, a mini cot is more affordable than a full-size cot.

How to Opt for the Right Crib Type?

Follow the below-mentioned easy steps, and in the end, you will be able to know what type of cot is the ideal one for you and your baby!

Available space for the Cot

For anyone on a tight budget, start with measuring the space for the cot. Make sure whether you have sufficient area for a full-size cot or whether you would have to purchase a mini model. Even though the inner measurements are determined by law, the dimensions of full-size cots are not identical. This is because of the framework. A few are heavy whereas others are minimalistic and sleek. Oftentimes, even an inch matters.

The Budget for the Baby Cot

Set up a price budget that you are willing to spend for a baby cot. With so many various models and cot designs, you can easily get carried away. But do remember that you will stumble upon tons of beautiful baby cots at a reasonable price. Plus, do not forget that you need a cot mattress that will also add to the budget.

Baby Cot Features

Before going shopping, sit down and ask yourself what do you expect from the crib.

• Do you need a portable cot on wheels or a stationary cot?
• In case you have a short height, a low-profile cot will be a better option for you.
• How long are you planning to use the baby cot? Do you want the cot to grow and expand with the child?
• If you want a convertible cot, decide about its conversions (daybed, toddler bed, or a full-size bed). How many conversions do you need?
• If you want a cot on wheels, do you want it to be folded down for simple storage?
• Do you want a cot for traveling or a Pack 'N Play?
• In case you want a cot and a changing table, but you, unfortunately, lack space for these units, try searching for combo cribs.
• You can opt for an extra drawer under the cot.
