When planning for a baby’s nursery, a cot will probably be at the top of any expectant mum’s list. You’ll most likely be looking for a baby cot that is both safe and comfortable for your baby in Singapore.
Durability is another point to consider when selecting a baby cot. The longer you can use it the better – therefore a baby cot that converts into a junior bed later on will definitely have an added advantage.
Just like any baby product, there are various things to consider when searching for the best baby cot for your little one in Singapore. Aside from providing comfort for your bundle of joy, you should also ensure whether it can protect your baby when within its wooden or plastic bars.
For instance, many cots are adjustable when it comes to height. This allows you to place them at a higher level when your baby is small and adjust them to a lower level when he can stand up.
To help you with your search for the perfect cot, we’ve compiled a list of the best baby cots in Singapore, based on a survey we conducted for mums to find out their preferences. Read on to find out their top picks!

Mothercare Baby Cots

Mothercare is the top best baby cot choice among mums in Singapore! Mothercare offers parents a great range of cots to choose from, depending on the style of your baby’s nursery or even your own room. Comfort, safety and style are common features of all these designs.
Many mums said that they chose Mothercare as the cot can be converted to a bed when your child is bigger. So even if you decide to splurge on a higher-end design, you’ll be able to use it for a longer period of time.
One mum commented, “I am able to convert to it toddler bed and use up to 7yrs of age”.

Ikea Baby Cots

Ikea has made several appearances in our ‘Shopping guide specials’. Many parents (myself included) choose Ikea for its very contemporary designs, versatility and superb value for money. It is hard not to notice the multi-coloured and super-cool items in their kids’ range of products.
Ikea doesn’t skimp on quality either — they pride themselves on setting very high safety standards, with all their cots having safely-spaced side bars and round edges. All this for a very affordable price — Ikea offers 5 models of cots ranging from as low as $85 to $329.
Another advantage is that most Ikea cots can also be converted into toddler beds and have adjustable heights, with the ‘Stuva’ model even coming with drawers at the bottom for added storage space.

Stokke Baby Cots

Stokke has some of the best ergonomically-designed baby products, and the Stokke Sleepi is no exception. Let’s face it — it is a bit of a splurge… but an oh-so-justifiable one!
The most impressive feature of the Stokke Sleepi is that it grows with your child in four stages. Starting with the ‘Mini’ for babies aged 0-6 months and then on to the ‘Bed’ for babies 6-18 months.
After this, you can remove the side for toddlers from 18 months up to 3 years to easily climb in but it is safe enough so they don’t roll out. Lastly, you can extend the bed even more to fit kids up to 10 years old.

Farlin Baby Cots

If you have not already come across Spring Maternity, this is not a brand of cots, but a one-stop store from which you can choose several brands.
One mum on our 2013 mums Facebook group says, “We bought our baby cot from Spring Maternity with 1 side drop. Can also be converted to a toddler bed later on.”
We think Spring Maternity is a great resource not only for cots but for other maternity and baby-related products you may need too.
