In the UK, baby cots are subject to specific safety standards, primarily based on the BS EN 716-1:2017 standard for cots and travel cots, and BS EN 1130:2019 for bedside cribs, according to the Lullaby Trust. These standards ensure the cot is sturdy, safe, and meets specific requirements for bar spacing, mattress fit, and drop-side mechanisms.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
1. BS EN 716-1:2017 (Cots and Travel Cots):
Sturdiness and Durability:
The cot must be made from materials that can withstand regular use without breaking, bending, or deforming.
Safe Bar Spacing:
The distance between the bars should be no more than 6.5 cm (2.5 inches) to prevent a baby's head from getting trapped, according to NHS.
Snug Mattress Fit:
The mattress must fit snugly within the cot frame, with no gaps large enough for a baby's head to get stuck.
Smooth Surfaces:
All surfaces, including bars and moving parts, must be smooth and free from sharp edges or splinters.
Safe Drop-Side Mechanisms:
If the cot has a drop side, it must be securely fastened and work smoothly, preventing fingers or clothing from getting trapped.
No Hazardous Cutouts:
Cots should not have decorative cutouts or steps in the headboard or footboard that could trap a baby's head or limbs, according to KSL.com.
2. BS EN 1130:2019 (Bedside Cribs):
Since 2020, all bedside cribs sold in the UK must meet this standard, which specifically prohibits cots with sides that fully drop down.
Bedside cribs must still meet the same safety standards as regular cots regarding bar spacing, mattress fit, and other requirements.
3. Additional Safety Considerations:
No Cot Bumpers:
The NHS advises against using cot bumpers as they can pose a suffocation risk.
Avoid Soft Bedding:
Soft bedding items like pillows, blankets, and soft toys should be removed from the cot to minimize the risk of suffocation.
Keep the Cot Clear:
Ensure the cot is free from anything that could pose a hazard to the baby, such as toys, bibs, or clothing with ties.
Second-Hand Cots:
If you're buying a second-hand cot, check for any damage or signs of wear and tear, and ensure it meets the current safety standards.
By adhering to these safety standards and recommendations, parents can create a safe and secure sleeping environment for their babies.Our manufacturers follow these standards.
