The Obaby Maya Mini Cot Bed is our top pick in this category because 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 tried that we felt could be able to stand the test of time. The narrow bars allow for easy cleaning since there aren't any nooks or crannies where dust can accumulate. The base that is lower is great for newborns and, as your baby becomes more active, you can lower it even further to prevent them climbing out, while the teething rails keep them safe from their sharp teeth.

Another stunning piece is the Silver Cross Nostalgia - a beautiful sleigh-style cot that's suitable from birth and can be converted into a bed for toddlers using an extension kit (sold separately). The three height options will keep your baby at ease as they grow, but the fiddly assembly process could put off some. It's also costly, but it's worth the investment if you're looking for an iconic design that will last for years to be. Gemma is the mother of Boden, aged 13 months.
