Bad points

Bad Points

  • Serious safety failure: The cot is able to be installed in more than two positions which is not permitted by the standard.
  • Serious safety failure: There is no recommended mattress size provided, but even based on a generous allowance of 150mm, the cot is still not deep enough in its highest position when the dropside is closed and open, posing a fall risk.
  • Serious safety failure: The dropside locking mechanism is too easy to operate in both lift and pull actions, posing a fall risk.
  • Serious safety failure: The dropside movement is not free and does not operate smoothly.
  • Serious safety failure: Limb entrapment hazards between some vertical bars at the dropside and cot ends.
  • Serious safety failure: No recommended mattress size on the instructions or external packaging, and instructions lack clarity (including essential safety warnings and precautions).
  • Serious safety failure: All the required markings on the cot's base are missing, which could lead to unsafe usage due to lack of supplied information.
  • Minor safety failure: Unused holes for mattress base positions are not supplied with plugs, which is a finger entrapment hazard.
  • Very minor failure: Certain openings at the dropside and cot ends are less than 50mm apart which may pose a limb entrapment hazard.
  • Hard to assemble.
