Product Information

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 guide On the other hand, if you're travelling by car, you have nothing to worry about. In that case, even a traditional travel cot will do. Easy assembling & storage

Similarly, the big luxury brands (BabyBjörn and Nuna) are inevitably more expensive than the midmarket ones on the list. We tested products with a variety of price tags and compared the more expensive models to those that were cheaperAnother tester commented, "Our baby is five months and therefore would have benefited from bassinet option. It simply wasn't useful overnight with his wake-ups having to bend. I could barely reach him and resorted to giving up using it and ended up having to co sleep in our bed. This defeats the point of a travel cot." If, however, you tend to travel often or think your little one will have regular sleepovers with the grandparents, then a travel cot is a great solution.
