Bad points

Bad Points

  • Serious safety failures: 1. The gap between the bottom rail of the dropside and the mattress base poses a finger or limb entrapment hazard. 2. The dropside locking mechanism is too easy to operate, meaning it could be lowered accidentally or by a child, and therefore creating a risk of falling from the cot.
  • Very minor failure of information requirements.
  • Hard to assemble – a lot of effort to fit the dropside and much care must be taken because the wood can get damaged easily; and the assembly steps in the instructions are not illustrated.
