kojec vs. łóżeczko

Explanation:
kojec taki jak np. tu: http://www.swiatdziecka.pl/shop.html?prod=445
lub tu: http://www.baby.com.pl/szczegoly.php?grupa_p=1&przedm=286663
(głównie zabezpiecza dziecko przed wypadnięciem - ścianki mogą być ze szczebelków)

cot - tutaj: leżanka, łóżeczko (bez szczebelków) (też w innych znaczeniach prycza, łóżko polowe)

Explanation:
Wg Webstera: cot = a narrow collapsible bed, as one made of canvas or plastic sheeting on a frame
crib = a small bed with high sides for a baby.
Stąd cot = lezanka (tak nazywano to w przedszkolu mojego dziecka) ew. lezaki (stad lezakowanie)
Crib = lozko ze szczebelkami, ale moze tez byc z opuszczana siatka.

Jakub Szacki: ale kojec, taki jaki ja pamietam to nie bylo lozeczko, z ktorego mozna wypasc, tylko odgrodzona przestrzen, co by sie bachor nie rozlazil. A tu chyba chodzi o lozeczko per se (choc ze szczebelkami lub siatka).

-> taka jest tez definicja w sjp; potocznie (doświadczenie własne) mówi się właśnie kojec na łóżeczko ze szczebelkami (cyt. z życia: chozi panu o łóżeczko czy kojec); IMHO w tym wypadku chodzi o takie rozróżnienie, ew. łóżeczko ze szczebelkami lub bez

agree
