An infant bed, known as a cot in British English and a crib or cradle in American English, is a small bed designed specifically for infants and very young children. These beds have a cage-like design to contain the child, typically until they are able to stand. Between the ages of one and two, children usually transition to a toddler bed to prevent falls when trying to climb out. Infant beds are widely used in Western countries as an alternative to co-sleeping with parents.

To enhance safety, organizations like the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission have established standards for infant bed designs since 1973. These standards have significantly reduced annual deaths related to infant beds, although injuries still occur, particularly with older models manufactured before stricter safety guidelines were implemented.

Infant beds come in various forms, including stationary and portable options like portacots or folding infant beds. Portable beds often feature breathable mesh sides and emphasize portability. Convertible cribs have also gained popularity, as they can be transformed into standard-sized beds as the child grows.

While there is a standard size for infant beds in the U.S., not all cribs sold meet these dimensions, with around 12% of sales consisting of "mini cribs" or smaller-sized beds. Larger infant beds are manufactured for hospital use or for children with special needs, sometimes featuring a top to prevent climbing out.

Cradles, which are non-mobile infant beds that rock, are another option. They differ from bassinets, which are basket-like containers on free-standing legs with wheels. Historical evidence, such as a carbonized cradle found in Herculaneum, dates back to ancient times, showcasing the longstanding use of infant beds throughout history.
