The short answer is absolutely! Drop side cots are safe for your baby.
Most new parents learn about parenting from Google. We wade through copious amounts of expert advice and parent testimonials, only to find ourselves more confused than when we started. This is particularly true when choosing a cot.
A drop side cot is a cot where one side of the cot lowers, so that a parent or carer can reach the child without falling into the cot or dropping your baby (cue the multitude of home videos of parents head first and bottoms up inside their child’s cot).
