A baby cot needs to do more than just fit into the nursery. The right mattress size, a sturdy construction and a design that suits your child's age are all essential. For expectant parents and families with toddlers, it's worth taking a close look at the technical specifications rather than relying on general marketing claims.
A convertible baby cot can be transformed from a cot into a junior bed. This extends its useful life, provided the mattress dimensions and the conversion actually suit the later purpose. A combination cot with a sleeping area of 70 x 140 cm offers more space than a baby cot measuring 60 x 120 cm, but it also takes up more room in the nursery.
Before you buy, check:
A height-adjustable baby cot is practical as a bedside crib when the sleeping surface can be adjusted to match the height of your bed. However, the sheer number of adjustment levels doesn't tell you much. What matters is the actual height range, the fixing method and whether it's suitable for your own bed frame.
With a bedside crib, you should measure the height of the mattress or sleeping surface. Also check whether your bed has a suitable side rail and what maximum frame thickness is allowed for the fixing. According to the product details, the roba Bedside Crib is steplessly adjustable between 22 and 42 cm and is designed for bed sides up to 4.5 cm thick.
A cot bumper or bed guard for children doesn't automatically fit every mattress and every slatted base. What matters is the type of fixing, the mattress height and the width of the sleeping surface. A cot bumper should not be seen as a replacement for an age-appropriate cot.
Before ordering, you should measure:
The mattress must fit the intended sleeping surface exactly. For a baby cot 60 x 120 cm, you need a mattress with these dimensions; for a cot 70 x 140 cm, the larger size applies accordingly. Only use the mattress size specified by the manufacturer. There should be no significant gaps between the mattress and the frame.
A smaller cot is often suitable for compact bedrooms or the first sleeping phase. A 70 x 140 cm combination cot needs more floor space but can be used from baby age through to a junior bed, provided the construction can be converted accordingly.
The upper sleeping position makes it easier to place a small baby into a cot. As soon as your child can pull themselves up or sit up independently, the sleeping height must be adjusted. Removable access bars can later allow your child to get in and out independently.
It's important that removable bars are only used according to the instructions. According to the product description, the roba combination cot has three height positions and three removable climbing bars. The roba Bedside Crib has five removable protective bars and can be used as a bedside crib, a cot with bars or a toddler bed.
For a wooden baby cot, the material, surface treatment and care instructions should be clearly stated. Wood-based materials can vary in construction depending on the model, so pay attention to the specific material description and any information about pollutant testing.
For assembly, remember:
According to the manufacturer, the roba Bedside Crib is developed and tested to EN 716–1:2017 + AC:2019. The roba Safe Asleep bedside crib is stated to comply with EN 1130:2019 according to the product description. These standard references relate to the respective product details and do not replace checking the assembly and safety instructions before use.

This depends on the sleeping area, design and manufacturer's specifications. A 60 x 120 cm baby cot is often designed for the first few years. A convertible baby cot with 70 x 140 cm can be used for longer after being converted into a junior bed. The maximum load and your child's developmental stage remain the deciding factors.
As soon as your child can sit up, pull themselves up or support themselves on the bars independently, the sleeping surface should be lowered according to the instructions. After doing so, also check the stability of all connections and the correct position of the side panels.
Check the permitted mattress height, the length of the guard and the fixing to the bed frame or slatted base. The guard must be securely attached and should not be used if parts are damaged, loose or incompatible. For toddlers, the fall prevention should also be appropriate for their age and independent mobility.
