Our experts test cots from Babyhood, Babyrest, Boori, Cocoon, Grotime, Ikea, Jengo, Leander, Love N Care, Luxo Baby, Mamas & Papas, Mocka and more.
Our priority is testing the models you’ll see in stores and major online retailers. To do this, we check current market data to see what’s most popular. We’ll also test models that a lot of members have requested.
Cots are tested against key safety requirements of the Australian standards.
Tests include checking that the cot has suitable gaps between the bars and panels to avoid injury, is deep enough to prevent falls, and that the ends of the cot are clear of anything that could wrap around a baby’s neck.
Unlike other product review sites, we don’t accept free test models from manufacturers. This allows us to be independent and review without interference. Instead, we buy products anonymously from a variety of retailers, then bring them into our labs. This means we get what you’d get, and can be sure the model hasn’t been potentially ‘tweaked’ for better performance.
Our expert testers have decades of experience in testing children’s products and sit on the Australian Standards committee for cots. Our lab is also NATA-accredited to test cots against the standards.
We’re a nonprofit that’s been supporting Australian consumers since 1959
