We researched cots expecting to pick something pricier, but a cot's job is simple: a sturdy frame, the right gaps, a snug firm mattress and nothing else. IKEA Australia's GULLIVER is labelled as complying with the new mandatory Infant Sleep Products Safety Standard, takes a standard 70 x 132 cm mattress, has two base heights and a side that comes off for the toddler years. It is popular in Australian cot round-ups for value. Trade-offs: it's plain, it's flat-pack, and there's no affiliate link here — we earn nothing on it, and we'd still pick it.
