The Incy Interiors Ellie Cot (Australian Item #: 1513) is a baby cot designed and distributed in Australia, manufactured in Taiwan. It features a classic, elegant design with a metallic finish, suitable for a nursery. The cot is designed to provide a safe sleeping environment for infants and toddlers, with adjustable mattress base positions to accommodate the child's growth.
Function Description:
The Ellie Cot serves as a secure sleeping space for babies and young children. Its primary function is to hold a mattress at a safe height, preventing falls as the child develops. The cot includes two headboards, two guardrails, a mattress frame/base, and four support bars. The mattress base can be adjusted to different heights, with a specific warning that it should be set to the lowest position before the child can sit up to prevent falls. The cot is designed for use until the child is able to climb out or reaches a height of 90 cm.
Important Technical Specifications:
- Recommended Mattress Size: 700 mm wide x 1310 mm long.
- Maximum Mattress Thickness: Not to exceed 120 mm.
- Dimensions: Not explicitly stated for the overall cot, but the mattress dimensions provide a good indication of the internal sleeping area.
- Materials: The cot appears to be constructed from metal, given the metallic finish and the mention of metal dowels and bolts. The manual also refers to "wood products" in the maintenance section, suggesting some wooden components or a finish that mimics wood.
- Assembly: Requires an Allen Key (included). Assembly involves attaching headboards, guardrails, the mattress frame/base, and support bars using various bolts, washers, and metal dowels.
- Adjustable Mattress Base: Features at least two adjustable levels (level 1 and level 2 are explicitly mentioned in the assembly diagram). Fixing flats (part 5) are specifically used when the mattress frame/base is set on level 1.
- Safety Standards: Complies with Australian Standards, with specific warnings regarding mattress thickness and base adjustment to prevent falls.
Usage Features:
- Adjustable Mattress Height: Allows the mattress base to be lowered as the child grows and becomes more mobile, enhancing safety by preventing climbing out. The lowest position is mandated before the child can sit up.
- Sturdy Construction: Designed with bolts and support bars to ensure stability and durability.
- Easy Assembly: Comes with an Allen Key and clear instructions, though it is noted that assembly may be easier with two people.
- Visual Appeal: The "Ellie Cot" name and the image suggest a stylish design, likely intended to complement modern nursery aesthetics. The metallic finish, as seen in the image, adds to its visual appeal.
- Safety Warnings: Prominently features warnings about proper usage, including inspecting for damaged hardware, not using the cot if parts are missing or broken, and avoiding placement near windows with cords. It also advises against using a water mattress.
Maintenance Features:
- Cleaning: Recommended to use a non-toxic, non-abrasive cleaner with a damp cloth and a mild detergent solution.
- Moving the Cot: If castors are not assembled, the cot should always be lifted, not pushed or dragged, to prevent damage to the base.
- Humidity Control: Emphasizes the importance of controlling humidity levels in the room to prevent damage to the cot's materials. It advises against placing the cot near air-conditioning, outlets, fireplaces, radiators, space heaters, humidifiers, or dehumidifiers.
- Sunlight Exposure: Advised to keep the cot out of direct sunlight to prevent fading, crazing, or hairline cracks in the finish. It notes that white finishes will naturally darken over time, and direct sunlight will hasten this process, which is not considered a quality defect.
- Storage: If storing the cot, it should not be kept in a damp or hot environment. Airflow around the furniture should be allowed, and nothing should be stacked on it.
- Regular Checks: Users are instructed to regularly check for damage, ensure all assembly fittings are tightened properly, and retighten them as necessary.
- Refinishing: If refinishing is necessary, a non-toxic finish specified for children's products must be used.
- Instruction Sheet Storage: The instruction sheet should be stored in a pouch after assembly.
- Parts Replacement: In case of missing parts, customers can order replacements by contacting Incy Interiors via email or phone, providing the product name, color, and a brief description of the missing part.
The cot is designed with both safety and longevity in mind, providing detailed instructions for assembly, use, and care to ensure it remains a safe and functional piece of nursery furniture.
