Which cot should I choose for my baby?

The type of your baby cot

First of all, you'll need to find the type of baby cot that meets your needs and desires. There are many possibilities such as:

The classic baby cot: A simple cot with bars. It can accommodate baby from birth until he or she can move into a big bed.
The convertible baby cot: It evolves with the child and transforms. Some models allow you to go from cradle, to cot, to child's bed. For example, you can opt for a convertible baby cot vintage that will accompany the child until adolescence.
The combination baby cot: This model is for parents looking to save space. The combination baby cot is a cot with bars that is combined with other furniture such as a chest of drawers or a changing table. It's very practical in small rooms.

Whether you're looking for a vintage convertible baby cot or a simple designer baby cot, there are various options to meet the needs of parents and of course their child. Once you've chosen the ideal cot shape, you can focus on its style.

The style of your designer baby cot

In terms of style, there are also many possibilities for a child's room. There are ultra-minimalist models and more sophisticated ones. Several categories can be distinguished in terms of style.

Lit bébé combiné évolutif 70x140 WOOD - Chêne Vintage — Convertible combination baby cot 70x140 WOOD - Vintage Oak

Lit bébé évolutif 70x140 VINTAGE – Noyer — Convertible baby cot 70x140 VINTAGE – Walnut

The vintage baby cot

This is not a vintage baby cot in the strict sense, as it's always preferable to opt for a new item (if it's second-hand, we recommend recent manufacturing). As the design standards for baby furniture have evolved over time, it's better to choose recent furniture for greater safety.

This is a piece of furniture that draws inspiration from the style of antique furniture to bring it up to date while retaining its unique charm. There are many different vintage baby cots available, depending on the era the furniture is inspired by.

There's nothing to prevent you from rediscovering the charm of yesteryear with a vintage-inspired piece of furniture. A vintage convertible baby cot, for example, will only be vintage in appearance. Its modern construction will make it safe for the child's security.

At Nateo concept, the vintage convertible baby cot is in the spotlight as we offer two models in this style:

The vintage convertible baby cot 70x140 WOOD with its vintage oak colour
The vintage convertible baby cot 70x140 VINTAGE with its walnut colour

The Scandinavian baby cot

In a completely different style, there's also the Scandinavian baby cot. This trend, which has been around for several years now, focuses on simplicity and natural materials. The combination of white and wood is often the norm with a Scandinavian baby cot. It's a perfect piece of furniture when you want to create a simple and minimalist room. At Nateo Concept, several of our products are in this style, such as:

The convertible baby cot 70x140 EKKO white and oak
The convertible baby cot 70x140 OXYGENE white and birch
The convertible baby cot 70x140 MIHA white and beech

Lit bébé évolutif 70x140 MOANA cannage rotin — Convertible baby cot 70x140 MOANA rattan caning

Lit bébé plexiglas 60x120 CLOUD – Blanc — Plexiglass baby cot 60x120 CLOUD

The wooden baby cot

The wooden baby cot is also a classic when looking for a baby cot. Wood is the most frequently preferred material for this type of product. It allows for the creation of furniture in all sorts of shapes and colours. You can therefore opt for:

A designer wooden baby cot like the convertible baby cot 70x140 MOON in white or oak
A wooden baby cot with a beautiful combination of materials like the convertible baby cot 70x140 MOANA with rattan caning in white or black
An original wooden baby cot like the plexiglass baby cot 60x120 CLOUD in white

Whether it's classic, vintage, Scandinavian, designer or other style, a baby cot is most often made of wood.

The composition of the furniture

Finally, the composition of the furniture will also be important in choosing the right cot. A cot can be of varying quality, but also more or less safe for the child's health depending on the materials and manufacturing methods chosen.

To make the best possible choice, we recommend paying attention to several criteria such as:

The use of PEFC wood: This means that the wood used comes from eco-managed forests. It is therefore more ecological and sustainable.
French manufacturing: This allows for proximity to be prioritised to limit its impact on the planet, but also to ensure compliance with European standards in the manufacturing of the furniture.
The choice of materials better for the environment and children's health: Materials with low formaldehyde content or water-based paints are preferable, for example.

Type of furniture, style, and composition: these are the three criteria to consider when choosing a baby cot! Whether you opt for a vintage convertible baby cot or a more minimalist designer baby cot, don't forget to check if the mattress is included, otherwise you'll need to add it to your order.
