Selling a baby cot? Here's how to list it safe and sound

Space between bars must not be less than 50mm or exceed 95mm.
Distance between the edges of the mattress and any end or side of the cot must not exceed 20mm.
Distance between the bottom rails (when the cot is closed) and the mattress base cannot be less than 12mm or more than 30mm.
The distance between the floor and the cot's bottom rail at its lowest point must not be less than 50mm.

The cot's design and fastenings have to allow free movement of the dropside of the cot – the dropside guides have to be firmly fixed.
There must be either two fasteners or a system that requires two separate but simultaneous actions to access the cot.
The bottom edge of the lowest rails must not be higher than the top of the mattress base.
Nothing on the cot can protrude more than 5mm, unless it is designed so clothing cannot be caught on it.
There must be no structures or components that could be used by a child to get a foothold or toehold for climbing.
There must be no sharp edges or points on the cot that could risk injury to a child, or that clothing could catch on.
