What is a cot side?

[terrystyg]

Just booked a holiday in France in a mobile home on a holiday park. The company provide cotsides on request which can be fitted to a single bed... What is a cotside? Is it a bed rail type thing or is it like a cot attached the bed???!!!

From google it appears it is basically a rail.

It might be a language difference thing - in US english, "cot" means fold up bed, so it could be related to either meaning really

But yes I would imagine it means a rail which you can use to stop a baby falling out of a single bed, or even a double bed if you chose to cosleep.

(Fold up bed or other temporary bed like a hospital bed, I mean - so like the rails you get on hospital beds most likely)

Oh good, so if 23 month old is pain in arse i am put him in with me (where he will magically go to sleep. i kid you not) and husband can get in that single bed and share room with 4 yr old!! Thanks, that was what i was hoping for! Obviously couldn't really expect neither husband or 4 yr old to get in a cot, hehehehe!
