Thickness of the mattress chosen must not reduce the internal depth (from mattress surface to top of the side) to less
than 500mm with the base in its lowest position or 200mm with the base in its highest position.
Cots which convert to beds are intended from birth up to approximately 5 years.
Always keep medication, string, elastic, small toys or similar small items out of reach from any position of the cot.
