  • Before buying a portable cot, be sure about the locking devices being secure enough, so that your child’s movement does not collapse the cot.
  • Avoid using portable cot for babies weighing more than 15kg.

  • Latch all locks before putting your baby in the cot.

• Baby Bouncer: Purchase a bouncer, which comes with a five or three point harness. This helps you latch your baby\'s waist in between the legs and over the shoulders to prevent your baby from falling. A baby bouncer with a wide base also avoids the possibility of your baby tipping over. Enough padding in the bouncers makes it comfortable for your baby. Many bouncers are equipped with the speed control operating mechanism to help you select the speed of the swing your baby prefers.
