Quick Answer
Fitting a 120x60 cot bed drawer to your mini cot bed takes about 10 minutes and requires no tools—just align the drawer on the caster wheels, slide it under the cot, and lock the wheels if needed.
Why a Dedicated Drawer Beats a Storage Basket
A cot bed drawer designed for the 120x60 footprint slides directly under the cot frame, making use of space that would otherwise go empty. Unlike a soft basket that can tip or collect dust, the drawer rolls on small caster wheels and keeps baby items like nappies, vests, and blankets organized and within reach.
Choosing the Right Finish for Your Nursery
The drawer is available in Stone Blue, White, and Walnut. The finish does not affect the fitting process—all models share the same 120x60 cm dimensions and caster-wheel mechanism. Pick the color that matches your cot bed or nursery decor. Stone Blue and Walnut add a subtle accent, while White keeps a clean, uniform look.
Step-by-Step Installation
- 1. Clear the area under the cot: Remove any items stored under the cot bed. If your cot is on a rug or carpet, check that the casters can roll freely without catching on fibers. Common mistake: leaving toys or bedding under the cot that block the drawer from sliding in fully.
- 2. Position the drawer in front of the cot: Place the drawer on the floor directly in front of the cot opening, with the caster wheels facing down. Ensure the drawer front is aligned with the cot's front edge. Check that the drawer is straight—if it enters at an angle, it may jam against the cot legs.
- 3. Slide the drawer under the cot: Gently push the drawer straight back under the cot frame. The caster wheels should roll smoothly. If you feel resistance, lift the drawer slightly and adjust its angle. Do not force it. Forcing can scratch the cot legs or damage the wheels.
- 4. Lock the caster wheels (if equipped): Some drawer models include locking casters. If yours have locks, press the locking tab down on each wheel to prevent the drawer from rolling out accidentally. If your drawer doesn't have locks, place a small rug or non-slip mat under the wheels to keep it in place.
- 5. Test the drawer movement: Pull the drawer out a few inches and push it back in. It should move smoothly without wobbling or scraping the cot frame. If it wobbles, check that all four wheels are on the floor and the drawer is centered. A wobble usually means one wheel is off the ground or the drawer is not fully seated under the cot.
