Baby Cribs and Cots Sales Statistics
Add this statistic to your Favorites so that you can access it at any time.
The cribs and baby cribs market is segmented by product type (convertibles, standard, portable, multifunctional, and standard) and distribution channel.
Our parent testers picked the SnuzFino as their top pick. Mum Katrina said, „I love the Toddler Kit – it really extends the lifespan of this crib“. It’s also vacuum rolled so it’s easy to set up.
Size
When choosing the perfect bed for your child, there are plenty of aspects to take into consideration. You’ll have to think about size, safety, cost and design to ensure that you make the right choice. Be sure to check the dimensions of the cot prior to you purchase. The most popular dimensions are 140cm x 70cm. However, this can vary from one brand to the next. It is also important to consider the age range for which cots are suitable. This will help you decide if it is time to upgrade your child’s bed to a single bed or toddler bed when they are ready.
A cot bed is a better option, as it will last longer than an ordinary cot and could be transformed into a toddler or a small single bed when your baby is ready. This will make the transition easier for both you and your child, and can save you money in the long time.
Cot beds come in a range of sizes, shapes and finishes so it’s important to choose the best one for your nursery. Pick a cot that is suitable for your space, and keep in mind that most cots come with removable sides so that your baby can play with toys in bed or even sit up. If your nursery is small in space, choose a compact cot that has curved edges.
Contact friends and family members who have children if you’re not sure of the right model for your nursery. They can offer invaluable insights about their experiences with different models and provide recommendations from personal experiences. You can also look up online reviews to gain a better understanding of how other parents discovered the cot bed they’ve purchased.
Pine is the most common material for cot beds. It’s a softwood, therefore it is more susceptible to dent and scratches, but it’s also highly renewable and extremely durable. The three species of oak, birch and beech are hard woods that have a greater resistance to wear. Certain cots can be made from engineered wood. It’s a combination of MDF or plywood that is bonded to an overlay to create an even more durable surface.
Safety
Cots and cot beds must comply with new safety and health standards to ensure that babies are sleeping in a safe and secure environment. This includes ensuring that they have no sharp edges and that the distance between the bars is no more than 6.5cm. This will prevent infants from climbing up or getting stuck between the bars. They also cannot use them as ladders. If you are buying an heirloom or second-hand cot, it is important to ensure that it is in compliance to the current safety standards and has been thoroughly cleaned. Older cots might have been painted with lead paint, which can be dangerous for children in the early years.
A good cot should be easy to assemble, with clear instructions and a minimal amount of tools. Ask your family and friends for help when you’re not confident about making the cot on your own. Also ensure that you carefully read the safety guidelines. Be sure to choose a mattress that is not too heavy and that is tightly fitted with no gaps. Avoid using pillows, cot bumpers, or any other soft bedding since they could cause fatal inhalation.
Some cots can be turned into toddler beds. This can save you money and make the transition from the cot to bed as easy as possible. Some are multi-functional, with additional features such as teething rails and storage drawers. This is a great choice if you plan to have more than one child. It can save you money.
When you are buying a cot ensure that it is within your budget and is the perfect size for your nursery. Think about whether you’ll be using it in a bedroom shared by two parents, or whether it is intended for your own child’s room. If the cot will be in your own room make sure you measure the space to ensure that it is comfortable and is not too close to radiators or other furniture. Avoid placing the cot close to the cords of your window blinds, as they can pose the risk of strangulation.
Convenience
When you’re shopping for a baby, it’s easy to focus on safety and spec features. However, don’t forget about ease of use. If you’re purchasing a crib bed, you want it to be as easy as possible to move from room to room and even out to the garden. This is because your baby will be sleeping in the cot for longer than you’d expect and it’s crucial to make sure that it’s comfortable for you to use it.
You can save money and time by selecting a cot that transforms into an infant bed. This is a popular option for parents, but you should be aware that it may cost a little more than the regular crib.
The John Lewis Elementary cot, which converts to a toddlerbed, is a great example of a cot with an excellent value. The design is modern and simple with slatted sides that let you easily check on your child. It also has three mattress height positions to allow your baby to grow and teething rails for extra security.
The Mamas & Papas Franklin cot is another popular choice since it comes with a wide range of useful features. Along with a handy storage drawer and teething rails it has two height settings to let your baby continue using the cot until they’re ready for toddler bed. It also takes an ordinary cot mattress but you’ll need to buy this separately.
There is also the Boori Eton Convertible Plus Cot Bed which goes one step further than converting into a toddler bed. It can also be used as a daybed or sofa and gives you more flexibility.
Ickle Bubba Snowdon Classic Cotbed is another option. It’s a chic sleigh cot, but it may not be as practical as other options. For one, it’s only suitable for babies up to the point that they’re 2 and doesn’t include an upholstered sheet (you must purchase this separately). However, it’s easy to put together and you can purchase matching furniture from the manufacturer.
Style
Cot beds come in all sorts of different styles from traditional sleigh designs to modern minimalist ones. The style you choose will depend on your personal tastes and the style of your nursery. You might also wish to consider extra features, like a drawer with storage underneath, teething rails, dropping sides for small infants or with health issues and the height of the base of your cot.
When selecting a cot bed, it is crucial to keep in mind that if you opt for a design that has bars, the gap between the bars should not exceed 6.5cm or there is the possibility of limbs getting trapped within the bars. All cots and cot beds sold in the UK must meet the safety standard BS EN716-1:2008+A1:2013.
A few of the cots we tested feature removable bars which offer more freedom to older children, but keeping them safe. The Cam Cam Copenhagen Harlequin Cot, for example, can be converted to an infant or daybed by attaching an attachment kit (sold separately). This allows it to be used from birth right up to the age of 4 years, which will save you the expense of purchasing an additional Toddler Bed.
Another alternative is the Great Little Trading Company Little Wren Cot Bed that is stylish and sleek sleigh design with a handy under-bed storage drawer to keep all baby must-haves easily accessible. It was simple to put together and had plenty of space for bedding and toys. It also comes with a teething rail and an adjustable base that can be set to three different heights.
The Stokke Sleepi Cot Bed is another sleigh model that can be made into a toddler bed using an upgrade kit for juniors and a mattress extender (sold separately). It is a great investment since it will last your child until they are five years old. But, it’s not among the most affordable cots on our list.
