Table notes
Safety tests and information requirements See How we tested, below for an explanation of these results.
Price Recommended or average retail as of September 2008.
How we tested
The cots were assessed against selected clauses from the Australian/New Zealand standard for cots, AS/NZS 2172:2003.
- Safety Includes tests to make sure the cot is deep enough to prevent a child falling out, there are no sharp edges or protrusions, and no head, limb or finger entrapment hazards.
- Information Adequate instructions and labels regarding assembly, maintenance, mattress specifications, safe use, date of manufacture and supplier contact. This information is important, but not as much as the safety tests; failure of information requirements is usually a relatively minor problem.
