However, the main potential drawback of cot beds is that they can take up more nursery floor space than cots and cribs, particularly once they're converted into toddler beds. If you have a small nursery or small space this is something to be aware of. We suggest checking the dimensions of the interior before buying a cot to ensure that it can fit into your space.
