The babyhood Ergonomic Cot is better for your back and is a unique baby Cot. The babyhood ergonomic cot was designed specifically to reduce the stress placed on carers and mums.

Why did babyhood create a specific Cot for this industry?

Work Safe Victoria discovered carers were suffering from multiple skeletal injuries. These were caused by the repeated manual handling and bending into cots in 2011. The injuries caused varied from person to person but are caused primarily by the repeated bending into lower level cots.

Work Safe Victoria proceeded to issue Early Learning Centre’s infringement notices and required center’s to change their cots to a more suitable cot to reduce the injuries caused.

This meant that the options for Early Learning Centre’s were limited to Cots that did not meet Australian Standards or metal cots. Metal Cots didn’t meet the comfort and assurance requirements of parents and carers.

As a result, babyhood began working in consultation with various associations including Work Safe Victoria, Kindergarten Parents Victoria (KPV), Good Start Childcare, Fair Trading Victoria, Fair Trading Queensland and one of Australia’s leading ergonomists Chris Fitzgerald.

babyhood decided to try to resolve the issue by developing a Cot specific for this industry’s needs. This was no easy task as it required new innovation, new technology and the consensus of all the related parties as to what was best for carers, babies and parents.

After almost 14 months, babyhood had designed and manufactured the babyhood Ergonomic Cot, which was proudly launched at the KPV Conference in Melbourne.

The unique Australian Patented and Design Registered Cot was designed to reduce the stress placed on carers. They did this by increasing the base height and making access to the child easier. The design allows carers to get closer to the child to reduce the impact of the load.
