How this product aligns with the EYLF

Encouraging wellbeing, comfort, and independence
The Posture Plus Cot & Mattress is designed to provide a safe and comfortable sleeping environment for infants, promoting their overall wellbeing. The low drop side system allows educators to lift infants in and out of the cot with minimal risk of injury, fostering a sense of security and independence as infants learn to settle and sleep in their own space.

Supporting participation in learning environments
The compact design of the cot allows for flexible use within various learning environments, ensuring that infants can participate in routines that support their development. By providing a designated sleep area, educators can create a calm and nurturing atmosphere that encourages infants to engage in their daily activities with confidence.
