Why use a small space saver cot ?
A smaller cot takes up less space and as the small cot can use smaller fitted and flat sheets it makes the washing loads lighter, quicker and easier to dry. Children can keep using a small cot until they are ready to start using a standard bed. There is no need for a large full size cot.

Small space saver cots for Childcare Centres.
Using a small cot means childcare centres are able to fit more cots into a room or sleep area. Each small cot takes up less floor space thus giving carers more room to move around and between each small cot. Although the cots are smaller in length and width, the height of the sides and every other dimension is safety compliant with the Australian Cot Standard 2172. Small cots are a very efficient choice when multiple cots are used.
