The provided document is an instruction manual for the "Wilton Nursery Cot Bed" from John Lewis & Partners. It details the assembly, usage, and maintenance of this piece of nursery furniture, which can be converted from a cot to a toddler bed.

Function Description:

The Wilton Nursery Cot Bed serves as a sleeping solution for infants and toddlers. Initially, it functions as a cot suitable from birth up to 18 months old, providing a secure and enclosed sleeping environment for babies. As the child grows, the cot can be converted into a toddler bed, extending its usability for children from 18 months up to 4 years old. This dual-functionality makes it a versatile and long-lasting piece of nursery furniture. The cot bed is designed to be sturdy and safe, with specific warnings and guidelines to ensure the well-being of the child.

Important Technical Specifications:

Dimensions: H95 W75 D144cm.
Mattress Compatibility: Suitable for use with a mattress of 1400mm in length, 700mm in width, and a maximum thickness of 120mm.
Base Positions: The cot features multiple base positions. The highest base setting is suitable for use until the baby is approximately 3 months old. The lowest position is the safest and should always be used as soon as the baby can sit or push up unaided.
Internal Depth (Mattress to Side Top):
- In the lowest base position, the internal depth must not be less than 500mm.
- In the highest base position, the internal depth must not be less than 200mm.
Materials: The manual refers to "wood furniture" and "wood veneers," indicating that the cot bed is constructed from these materials. It also mentions "good quality timber" and "oak furniture" in the general care section, suggesting the use of quality wood.
Safety Standards: The product complies with BS EN 716-1:2017 and BS 8509:2008.
