CHOICE Expert Rating

What is the CHOICE Expert Rating?

CHOICE Expert Rating

This is the product's overall performance score, based on key tests conducted by our industry experts in the CHOICE labs.

Good points

• Teething strips on two sides.

Bad points

• Serious safety failure: The mattress base can be installed with the brackets in a reversed position, causing it to have insufficient depth in the uppermost and lowermost positions when the maximum recommended mattress thickness is used, leading to a fall risk. The depth is safe if the brackets are installed correctly.
• Serious safety failure: The distance between the panel and the bar at the end of the cot ends is too small, causing a limb entrapment risk.
• Minor safety failure: The undersides of the top rails are sharp enough to cause a minor injury.
• Very minor failure of information requirements.
• Hard to assemble – very awkward to access some fasteners. • Note: The manufacturer has shown us a report saying the cot meets the latest standards testing.

Safety performance score View more details.

Our Recommended models meet all key safety requirements and score at least 80% for safety performance, but may fail some very minor information requirements (such as instructions and labelling).

Some lower-scoring models may still be worth considering if they meet all key safety requirements, but fail some minor points (such as finger entrapment).

Models scoring 40% or less for safety have at least one serious failure.
