About this deal
The Joie comes with a standard instruction manual, but there is also a handy card attached to the travel cot which meant that Ruth could assemble it without having to look at the manual – a nice touch that simplified assembly even further, especially as the instructions were already well thought out and easy to follow.

Four mesh lined sides allow a view of your snoozing little one from any angle and provide plenty of ventilation as they snore sweetly With that in mind, we wanted to really explore and analyse the price of Joie Allura Travel Cot with Bassinet to see how cheap you can get it, but also see how it compares to other products. To do this we looked all the products available in the “Travel cots” category, as well as looking at the products available from the brand Joie. So let’s dive into a bit more specific detail on Joie Allura Travel Cot with Bassinet, starting with the price.

Her 18-month-old settled into the travel cot well in both locations and particularly liked the co-sleeping element of it. It was also used without the bassinet when he was napping without a parent in the bed next to him.
