Can someone measure their cot for me, please?

Maybe have a look online, I'm sure you could buy a cot that meets Australian Standards and have it shipped to you in Vietnam. Just a thought if you aren't able to find a cot in that you are happy with.

Hey Hun,

I have a Boori cot/toddler bed and took the following measurements I hope this helps:

Length - 1400 cm outside measurements
Width - 830 outside measurements

floor to top of rail when up (rail comes down for easy access) - 970 cm
floor to top of mattress on the highest setting - 640 cm
(leaving a clearance of 330 cm between mattress and top of rail)

I have set mine up on the highest setting so cannot tell you what the lowest setting is.

Thanks, that's very helpful.
A girl at work suggested we get someone to build a big box to put the cot on, so I don't have to bend down so far.
But the mattress to top of railing measurement is the one I was most concerned about. So thanks!

I guess the idea is that when they are just born and not pulling themselves up the highest setting is good, then when they start getting a bit more mobile you put the mattress down to the lowest setting.

I didn't make it terribly clear but the 33cm difference is from the top of the mattress to the top of the rail so for a new born they will be unlikely to roll out.

Another option is have you looked at the baby hammocks? this replaces the bassinette and will allow you more time to find a suitable cot for bub when she gets bigger. Just thinking they are a bit more mobile and take up a bit less space.

You can get them on ebay or from various suppliers that post internationally.
