Not All Cots Belong in a Hotel

As the leader in safety and compliance, Foundations baby cots are certified to meet all applicable federal, state and local standards in the markets we serve. If we don't meet them, we don't sell there. 

But compliance alone doesn't make a cot hotel-ready. Unlike retail cots Foundations baby cots are engineered to maintain their safety and integrity through the repeated use, cleaning, movement and storage that hotel life demands.
