Ensure the cot is solid and sturdy and has no gaps between the bars. Make sure the bars are less than 95 mm apart - bigger gaps could trap your baby's head or arms. Also, ensure that there's enough depth in the cot to prevent your baby from climbing out.

It should also be positioned away from power points and windows which could pose the danger of overheating. You should also make sure that the cot is free of toys such as stuffed animals, toys and other soft items which could be a suffocation hazard for your infant.

However, some problems can arise when a product goes on the market, so it is important to be cautious of heirloom or second-hand cribs that are older than what is recommended. Cots manufactured before 1973 could be painted with toxic leaded paint, and older stickers on the side may peel off and create dangerous for babies to eat.
