Designed for Safe, Everyday Sleep
Your baby’s cot is the centre of the nursery — a secure sleep space you’ll use every day from newborn naps through to toddler bedtimes. Our baby cots are selected for sturdy construction, practical features and timeless designs that suit modern Australian homes.
How to Choose the Right Cot
Start with the basics: the right size for your room, adjustable base heights, and a build quality that feels solid and stable. Many families also look for a cot that supports long-term use, with simple lowering of the mattress base as bub grows.
Types of Baby Cots
- Standard cots – Classic full-size designs with adjustable base heights for growing babies
- Convertible cots – Convert into a toddler bed or day bed for longer use
- Compact cots – Ideal for smaller spaces, shared rooms or apartments
- Travel cots – Portable options for holidays, overnight stays and grandparents’ homes
Materials & Practical Details
Look for child-safe finishes, easy-clean surfaces and durable materials designed to last. If your space is tight, measure before purchasing and allow room around the cot for safe access and everyday use.

Baby Cots FAQs
What age can my baby sleep in a cot?
Babies can sleep in a cot from birth, provided the cot meets Australian safety standards and is set up correctly. Some families use a bassinet first, then transition to a cot within the first few months.
How long can a baby use a cot?
Most children use a cot until around 2 to 4 years of age, depending on height, development and cot design. Convertible cots can extend use by converting into a toddler bed.
What is the difference between a standard cot and a convertible cot?
A standard cot is designed for infant and toddler sleep only, while a convertible cot can be adapted into a toddler bed or day bed for longer-term value.
Do baby cots sold in Australia need to meet safety standards?
Yes. All baby cots sold in Australia must comply with Australian safety standards covering construction, spacing, stability and durability.
What mattress should I use with a baby cot?
Use a firm, supportive mattress designed specifically for your cot size. The mattress should fit snugly with no gaps around the edges.
How many mattress height positions should a cot have?
Most quality cots offer two or three mattress height settings — higher for newborns and lower as your child grows.
Are wooden baby cots safe?
Yes. Wooden baby cots are safe when they meet Australian safety standards and are valued for durability and stability.
Can I use a second-hand baby cot?
Second-hand cots aren’t recommended unless you can confirm they meet current safety standards, include all original parts and haven’t been modified.
What accessories are safe to use in a baby cot?
For safe sleep, use a fitted sheet and firm mattress only. Loose bedding, pillows, bumpers and toys are not recommended.
Do baby cots need professional assembly?
Professional assembly isn’t required, but always follow the manufacturer’s instructions and ensure all fixings are secure before use.
