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

• Dropside.
• Teething strips on both sides.

Bad points

• Serious safety failure: Gaps between the underside of the mattress base and fixed side pose a limb entrapment hazard.
Serious safety failure: Supplied plugs for the screwholes came loose after our tension test and can pose a choking hazard.
• Minor safety failure: Finger or limb entrapment hazard between the mattress base and bottom of the dropside.
• Minor safety failure: Dropside does not operate smoothly, will need to loosen the screws on cot ends in order for it to slide down.• Minor safety failure: The mattress base has more than two designated positions. • Very minor failures of information requirements.
• Doesn't have a swing tag. This is a tag on the product in store with information about the supplier and required mattress dimensions. However, this is on the mattress base.
In response to our findings the supplier says it has a certificate report saying it has passed the latest cot standard. CHOICE stands by its results.

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.
