Product Information

It’s crucial to make sure that you only buy a travel cot that has passed all the relevant safety standard tests and regulations. This makes it safe for your child to sleep while minimises accidents occurring throughout the night.

Washable covers: it is inevitable that the cot will need washing from time to time, if the cover is easily cleaned and removable this is great. Easy to transport: some travel cots can be heavy, so look for one that suits your needs. Some cots also come with a carry-bag or wheels which can make it easier to transport. It is not a long term option as it will only last a couple of months (until they are sitting up ), but for those precious first few months this is ideal and probably the best travel bassinet you can buy. It is also common for hotels to charge for use of their cribs. By having your own you can save this cost whilst also knowing that you do not have to worry about the quality and cleanliness of the hotel owned cribs.Travel cots come in a range of different prices, and this will depend on several factors, including the brand and the amount of added features that it comes with. Your main priority should be to ensure that it’s a high-quality, safe sleep space and it doesn’t hurt to spend a little more to ensure that you’re getting the highest quality cot. Safety Standards Designed to look like a normal diaper bag, all you have to do is pull out the and to reveal the baby travel bed. Simply attach the snap-in bars to keep the sides sturdy and you have a place for your baby to sleep. The Kidco Peapod is another pop-up tent style travel cot. The lightweight mesh surrounds your child keeping the bugs at bay, but also allows good airflow to reach your child. A large front zipped panel allows for easy access. There is a zip-up door at the side that an adult or child can crawl through. This is handy if you have a child that likes you to lie down and sleep next to them (like ours!)

The door zips up with sturdy zips that stand up well to repeated use and they are on the outside so your little Houdini shouldn’t be able to get out without you knowing about it (if you want them to be able to get out, just leave a tiny gap for their little fingers and they should be able to pull the zip down).

This is a great choice for anyone that is looking for a lightweight travel cot that is extremely portable.

There’s no guarantee that your destination will have a safe sleeping space for your baby,’ says Paediatrician and child development expert Dr Harvey Karp. ‘While a plush, pillow-loaded hotel bed may sound like a dream for Mum and Dad, it’s not a safe spot for your little one to rest their head. By bringing your own cot, you can rest easier knowing that your bub will have a safe place to sleep.’ Travel cot shopping guideAge suitability: travel cots differ with upper age and weight limits, so make sure you take this into account depending on your child and how long you are planning to use the travel cot.

If you are putting it in the boot of your car for a few weeks or just staying in one or two locations, these may not be such important considerations, but do think ahead to what other trips you might take with your babies and toddlers. This folds down really small into a bag that you can easily carry around thanks to the shoulder strap. It also comes with a nice soft 100% cotton sheet and a self-inflating mattress for added comfort. It is great for changing nappies where you don’t have a clean surface and works well as a bed for your baby too when using the mattress supplied. It is hard to get the mattress properly flat, it often ends up with a few contours along it. It is also a bit thinner than the Baby Bjorn We are really happy with this cot, it is the best travel cot for our travel needs and so much simpler to put up and take down than the LittleLife cot that we used before.

Higher quality cots will have passed all these regulations, so you’re better off paying a little more for a high-quality cot. Warranty This is a similar design to the BabyBjorn travel crib and Lotus travel crib but it comes with a much lower price tag. This cot is very easy to set up and fold in one simple movement, the legs fold automatically and then you simply add the folding mattress to make it sturdy. With a little bit of practice, this should mean that the whole set-up takes just 15 seconds.
