Use our handy baby clothing size guide to find the perfect fit for your little one. Please note that the sizes below refer to the baby's body measurement, rather than the measurement of the garments. It took us seconds to pop the tent up and less than two minutes to attach the Micro-Lite sleeping pad (this snaps on underneath the crib floor to avoid any risk of suffocation). Take down time was less than three minutes. Like its smaller sibling, the PeaPod Plus features lightweight mesh walls with a tight-enough weave to protect from insects and UV protection and adjustable sunscreens. Entry is through an extra-large, zippered side panel. The pod comes in Midnight or Camo and would be easy to spot clean. You should always consult the manufacturer’s guidelines before cleaning your travel crib since best practices differ from one model to the next. However, most can be spot-cleaned with warm water and a soft cloth, while the best feature fabrics can be removed and machine-washed when necessary. Many come with waterproof mattresses that can also be wiped clean. If yours doesn’t, after-market mattress protectors are often available, although you should always consult an expert before adding anything to your baby’s sleeping environment.

Maxi-Cosi Swift Lightweight Portable Playard, 1-Step Fold Maxi-Cosi Swift Lightweight Portable Playard, 1-Step Fold

Pamo Babe Deluxe Portable Nursery Center: This crib initially impressed us by offering a bassinet mode, a travel crib/play yard mode, and a changing table. However, it started to collapse during testing, which made us question its safety.

AeroMoov Instant Travel Cot Playard: This crib was easy to set up, although the zipper for the bassinet section broke. It wasn't particularly structurally secure, either, and when folded, it was heavy and awkward to carry. A safe and comfortable travel crib is an essential accessory for parents who want to travel with their little ones without restriction. Sleepovers with friends and family, local road trips, and even international adventures—the world is your oyster with the right one. Some can be used as a permanent sleeping place for your baby or toddler, while others adapt throughout the first stages of their life from bassinet to cot or playpen. Things to consider include how long you want to use the crib, what you want it for (and, therefore, whether lightness or size is the greater priority), and how much you’re willing to spend.

Maxi Cosi Swift Flash Fold Travel Cot - Beyond Graphite Eco

When your little one moves to its own nursery, you want to be sure they are safe and comfortable. Keep them always close with our Connected Home range, which includes a baby monitor, a humidifier, a soothing light & sound device and a under-crib light. All easily and securely operated with just one app; the Maxi-Cosi Connected Home app! At only 6.7kg, the Swift is the lightest multi-purpose travel cot on the market, meaning you can easily take it with you wherever you like. Available online for a fraction of the price of our overall winner, the Munchkin Brica Fold N’ Go Travel Bassinet is the perfect fit for those on a budget. It’s also a very different product, intended for occasional use only during the newborn stage. Brica recommends stopping using the bassinet when your baby reaches three months, 15 pounds, or can push up on their hands and knees—whichever comes first. Nevertheless, we found it almost unbelievably easy to set up, with assembly taking one minute and disassembly taking less than 30 seconds. Maxi-Cosi Swift grows with your baby from birth through to 3.5 years of age. So instead of buying three separate portable products (a bassinet, a toddler cot and a play pen), the Swift is all three, stylishly rolled into-one.

The manufacturer’s description claims that the crib takes one second to fold or unfold; however, our tester timed assembly at three minutes and disassembly at less than two. We did find it incredibly easy to set up, earning the crib a near-perfect score for this element of the testing process. At 15.4 pounds, it isn’t the lightest cot on this list and probably not the most convenient choice for air travel. However, we loved that its full size and sturdy construction meant it could double as your permanent crib.

Maxi-Cosi Swift – 3-in-1 Travel Cot

The tent crib features a large zippered panel for easy access and walls made of lightweight mesh. These are great for maximum airflow and also double as an insect screen. The material is coated for UV protection, while anchor straps help to secure the tent against breezes (or active occupants!). We felt it would hold up well to the toddler years and be easy to spot-clean when necessary. Choose yours in colors ranging from Midnight to Cranberry or Tangerine. The Maxi-Cosi Swift travel cot fits the Maxi-Cosi Swift newborn travel cot bed sheets and Maxi-Cosi Swift toddler travel cot sheets (sold separately) For the maximum blend of space and compactness, choose the KidCo PeaPod Plus Travel Bed. As the larger version of the standard PeaPod already mentioned on this list, it’s for children aged 6 months to 5 years, yet still weighs in at just 3.65 pounds. When not used, it folds flat into a compact circle that can be easily slung over the shoulder or carried in hand. We loved that it’s small enough for easy air travel or to realistically keep in the trunk of your car for “just-in-case” situations. We love the Chicco LullaGo Anywhere Portable Bassinet for its high-quality design, which stood up well to our durability tests. It features a firm, flat sleep surface with mesh side panels for maximum visibility and ventilation; with metal legs that snap into place and a convenient shade canopy. It took us less than a minute to set it up and the same amount of time to fold it flat and fit it into its low-profile carry bag. At just 12 pounds, it’s wonderfully light—so much so that you can easily move it from one area of the house to another to keep an eye on baby during naptime. From the 1st January 2021, Winstanleys Pramworld will no longer ship items internationally, However - a number of our customers use parcel forwarding service such as forward 2 me.Baby Delight Snuggle Nest Harmony Baby Bed: This baby bed is super lightweight and essentially assembles itself upon being taken out of the box. However, it has a minimal use period—only until the baby starts to roll over. How We Tested From the minute you arrive home with your little one, you want to make sure they are safe and comfortable in their new home. The nursery plays a big part in those first months, just like the rest of your family home, as you may not go out as much as you used to. Our baby furniture will help you get settled at home. We did find that figuring out the bassinet attachment took us several minutes—however, once learned, this process would be much shorter. The crib also features a zip-open panel for easy access, mesh walls for clear views and optimum ventilation, and a triple-layer mesh mattress for ultimate breathability. We found it very sturdy even when moved around and subjected to our sandbag tests. The quality of the materials is top-notch. It is relatively heavy (20 pounds)—however, a good quality carry bag with handles on the top and bottom makes transportation easy. Maxi Cosi offer a 2 year manufacturer’s warranty on all their products. This covers you for all manufacturing defects during this period.

Maxi Cosi Swift 3 in 1 Travel Cot - Essential Graphite

to 4.7 stars: These travel cribs are excellent—they might have minor flaws, but we still recommend them.Breeze GO Playard: We assembled this crib without instructions and liked its sturdiness and simple mattress design.

Dream On Me Nest Portable Play Yard With Carry Bag And Shoulder Strap: Although four separate testers tried, we could not successfully assemble this crib, which we found to be frustrating and useless. Chicco Dash Instant Setup Playard: This was a solid crib with high-quality materials—however, we found it so difficult to attach the mattress' Velcro straps that we gave up, and it's too bulky and heavy for easy travel.
