Mat or Cot

When moving a child out of a crib. Is it best to move to a cot or a floor mat?
Is there a ruling on if you should use a cot or mat?

every states rules are different. I like cots they cradle the child to keep them on. My state used to require cots but they now allow some mats.

This would be for a school in IN
