They then slide into sleeves that rest on the legs of their linked legs. You simply need to put your feet into them to make the sleeping surface.

Avoid cots with solid foot and head boards as they could trap clothing or the limbs of your child.

Another important consideration is how easy it is to clean. Make sure it can be washed in the machine and what the care instructions are for the fabric as well as any other parts that can be removed.
