A baby cot bed is designed to grow with your child, converting from a snug newborn cot into a full junior bed as they grow. Choose a white cot bed for a soft, nursery ready look, an oak cot bed for a warmer natural finish, or white and oak together if you want the best of both. The Cot Bed Incl. Junior Kit takes this further, adding the panels needed for a convertible cot bed that lasts from birth to around nine years old from one purchase. Once your child outgrows the cot stage, our Toddler Beds collection picks up where this one leaves off. Free UK delivery on orders over £60.

FAQ

What's the difference between a cot and a cot bed? A standard cot is sized for a baby and is usually replaced by around age two. A cot bed is built larger from the start and converts into a junior bed, so the same frame keeps being used well beyond the cot stage.

When should I move my child from a cot to a bed? Most parents make the move somewhere between two and three years old, once a child starts climbing out of the cot or moves into a bigger room. If you've bought a convertible cot bed, this is usually the point it converts into a junior bed rather than needing a new frame.

How long does a cot bed last? A convertible cot bed is designed to take a child from birth up to around nine years old, converting from cot to junior bed as they grow, so it's built to be one purchase rather than several. Check the specific product page for the exact conversion age, as this varies by design.
