What is Red Nose's advice on cot canopies to keep cats out of the cot (e.g. the Babyhood Cot Canopy)? Are they considered safe? I'm assuming once bub is mobile enough to pull on the canopy, we will need to remove it? Thank you

Red Nose Education

Red Nose also has the following information when buying products for baby’s sleep.

It is important for parents when they are thinking of buying a product for their baby to be able to make the best informed decision based on evidence of product safety. This is crucial for preventing SUDI or other fatal sleeping accidents.

It is often assumed that all nursery products sold in retail stores must be safe, however many products have never been formally tested so it can be difficult to tell what is safe for your child.

Product Safety Australia (ACCC) develop & modify Safety Standards.
I am not aware of any safety standards for any cot canopy.
