Parts List

Before assembly, ensure all parts are present and undamaged. If any parts are missing or damaged, do not proceed with assembly and contact customer support.

• Cot Bed Frame Components (Side Rails, End Panels)
• Mattress Base
• Allen Key
• Screws and Bolts (various sizes)
• Instruction Manual (this document)

Setup and Assembly

Assembly requires two adults. Follow the steps carefully. Do not overtighten screws until instructed.

1. Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging and lay them out on a soft, clean surface to prevent scratching.
2. Assemble End Panels: Attach the legs to the main end panels using the provided screws and allen key. Ensure they are securely fastened but do not fully tighten yet.
3. Attach Side Rails (Cot Mode): Connect the side rails to the assembled end panels. The cot features a protective teething rail along the top of the side rails.
4. Install Mattress Base: Insert the mattress base into the desired height setting. The cot bed offers 3 base heights:
   • Highest Position (0-6 months): For newborns, allowing easy access to your baby.
   • Middle Position (6-9 months): As your baby grows and begins to sit up.
   • Lowest Position (9+ months): When your baby can stand, to prevent climbing out.

Operating Instructions

Adjusting Base Height

To adjust the mattress base height, remove the mattress and carefully detach the base from its current position. Re-attach it to the desired height setting, ensuring all four corners are securely fastened. Always select the lowest possible base height once your child can sit up unaided to prevent them from climbing out.

Converting to Toddler Bed

When your child is ready to transition from a cot to a toddler bed (typically around 18 months to 2 years, or when they can climb out of the cot), the Westland Cot Bed can be easily converted. This provides a familiar sleeping environment for your child's first big bed.

1. Remove Side Rails: Carefully detach one or both side rails from the cot bed frame.
2. Reconfigure: The end panels and mattress base remain in place. The cot bed is designed to function as a toddler bed with the absence of the side rails.
3. Ensure Stability: Double-check that all remaining connections are secure and tightened.

• Cleaning: Wipe with a dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or strong detergents, as these may damage the finish.
• Regular Checks: Periodically inspect all screws, bolts, and fittings to ensure they are tight and secure. Tighten as necessary.
• Storage: If storing the cot bed, disassemble it carefully and store all parts in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
