Baby Cots & Cot Beds

No. While many of our Boori baby cots have conversion technology to transform into a toddler bed, our Boori compact cots do not have this ability. Choosing the right baby cot is paramount for parents who value safety and comfort.

Enhance the security of our cots with the addition of a Toddler Guard Panel, offering peace of mind as your little explorer becomes more adventurous. For added convenience during the toddler years, some of our baby cot beds include the option of a lowered side panel, ensuring effortless access for your burgeoning independent sleeper.

The decision of when to transition a baby to a cot often varies based on individual family preferences and the baby's developmental stage. However, generally:

• From Birth: Many parents choose to place their newborns directly into a newborn cot or baby cot from birth, especially if it is designed with safety and comfort in mind for infants.
• Around 3-6 Months: Some families might start with their baby in a bassinet or bedside sleeper for the first few months for convenience during night-time feedings. Typically, around the 3-6 month mark, as the baby grows and begins to move more, parents transition them to a baby cot bed.
• Safety Transition Point: It's crucial to move the baby to a cot when they show signs of rolling or pushing up on their hands, as these movements can make smaller sleep environments like bassinets unsafe. Our cots have two base levels (newborn and toddler) that are adjustable depending on your little one’s stage of development.

Absolutely, it's okay for a newborn to sleep in a baby cot, as long as safety precautions are diligently followed. Many families choose to have their newborns sleep in a newborn cot from the very beginning. Be sure that the base height is set at the higher level for newborns.

Noticing an odour from your new baby cot? Don't be alarmed. This scent, often associated with new furniture, particularly wooden products, is a result of a process called off-gassing. When your cot is first unboxed, gases that were confined during manufacturing and transit are gradually released.

VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) are common culprits behind these odours. They are present in various household items, from carpets and floorboards to paints and even some beauty products. At elevated concentrations, VOCs might lead to symptoms like headaches or irritations in the eyes, nose, and throat.

It's worth noting that at Boori, we prioritise safety. Our furniture is painted with water-based paints, which have considerably fewer VOCs compared to petroleum or oil-based alternatives. We diligently minimise VOC levels to ensure our baby cots in Australia are safe for use, even around the most vulnerable—children and expecting mothers.

Ensuring the longevity and safety of your Boori baby crib is paramount for the comfort and well-being of your little one. Here are some key care tips:

• Regular Checks: Post-assembly, frequently inspect for any loose screws or joints. Periodic checks thereafter are crucial to maintain the crib's stability.
• Adhere to Weight Limits: Always stick to the recommended weight guidelines for the crib and its mattress. Ensure the mattress supports are correctly positioned and secure.
• Stain and Spill Care: Accidents happen! When they do, use child-safe, non-toxic cleaning solutions specifically formulated for children's furniture to address any blemishes on the wood or fabric.
