Cots typically were small free-standing beds that could be placed right next to the parent's bed for easy accessibility. Once the child outgrew the tiny cradle they often slept in a small bed that could fit under the parent's bed for storage during the day. This was the beginning of the trundle bed and was considered a toddler bed. Cradles were made of many different materials but were most often made of wood. Cradles began to be designed and produced by woodworkers who also designed other home furnishings of the time.During this time there were many children in a family and each one would use the cot for the first year or until the next child came along. The nursery started as a small nook located adjacent to the parent's bedroom. Eventually the idea of the child having his or her own room came to be the standard. Wealthy families who could afford a full time nanny were able to have a separate room for the child. Eventually homes were built with more bedrooms so they could accommodate more children. Cot design through the years has shown a steady improvement of features yet the same basic shape and form have remained the same. Nowadays they are under stringent safety rules to ensure that children are safe from harm. These standards are continually updated and new products are tested for safety. Parents still need to take precautions to ensure the safety of their child.
