Which One Should You Choose?

  • Choose a Cot if you have limited space, a smaller budget, or plan to transition your child to a bigger bed early.
  • Choose a Cotbed if you want a long-term option that grows with your child and eliminates the need for a toddler bed later.

Both are great choices—it just depends on your needs! 😊

Here are some examples of both and some budget busting choices :

Stella By babymore is one of very few available with a dropside – £389 (often on offer with a £100 Off)

Smaller spaces- opt for a mini cotbed or cot such as O Baby Nika Mini – £205
