Style & Design

The Obaby Maya Mini Cot Bed is our best crib for newborn choice in this category since it's a stunning piece that's easy to put together and looks fantastic in the room. It is also very sturdy and the only cot we tested that we believed would stand the test time. The narrow bars mean there aren't any nooks or crevices to collect dust in, making cleaning as easy as it can be. As your baby grows and develops, you can lower the base further to stop them from climbing out. The teething rails will protect them from their sharp teeth.

Silver Cross Nostalgia is another beautiful piece. It's a beautiful sleigh style cot that can be used from birth. An extension kit, available separately, allows it to be converted into a toddler-sized bed. The three different heights will keep your little one at ease as they grow, but the fiddly assembly process could put off some. It's also costly but it is worth it if you want a timeless design which will last for a long time. Tested by Gemma mother to Boden, 13 months.

Convertability
