For frequent travellers they can be as familiar to little ones as their regular bed; helping to aid sleep in a different environment. We now offset all the carbon emissions of our team’s personal and professional lives by planting groves of trees. It’s vital you use this mattress with the cot, as the mattress is designed to fit the cot properly and safely. Travel cots make wonderful beds for babies, toddlers and young children to sleep in for trips and short periods. Travel cot mattresses often serve as a structural support too, and taking the mattress out can make the travel cot less stable and even a risk to your little one.

The Airpod Travel Cot is suitable from birth, but it doesn't come with a bassinet, something that you might prefer for a newborn.For parents who want a travel cot from birth – perhaps to keep at a family member or caregiver's house – the Joie Kubbie Sleep combines the functionality of a travel cot with that of a bedside crib, with a drop-down side operated by a button that allows easier access to a newborn while in bassinet mode. However, unlike the Joie Kubbie Sleep, which has a button-operated drop-side, this one is fastened with buckles, making it more suited to those who want to keep the cot fastened to their bed with the side dropped permanently down, for a safe way to cosleep with a newborn.

This includes a changing mat that can stay attached but out of the way, high and low sleeping positions (reducing back strain), a zip-down side panel for a fun playpen adventure (crawl in – crawl out) and a fun design with pops of colour. However, for any travel cot you’re considering, it’s important to make sure it’s suitable for your little one. These help with air circulation and will provide a more comfortable environment for your child to sleep.Your child can comfortably sleep and play, you can easily change your baby’s nappies and transport the folded cot wherever you wish, allowing maximum flexibility right from birth. Whether it’s a family get-together or baby’s first holiday by the sea, SENA is your indispensable travel companion. The practical changing station with its raised edge can be fixed to the top of the travel cot and when not needed can be simply hung on the side. Once assembled, it feels sturdy enough to last a number of years, which will be helpful for when our daughter can start using it as a playpen.

The mesh means that you can get a great view of your baby or toddler, while also ensuring good air circulation at night time.Its Advanced air design™ provides 360° of ventilation for ultimate airflow and super-fresh, deep sleeps. Travel cot mattresses are often the feature that parents are least satisfied with, as they are often thin and flimsy. This practical Dream N Playcan be used in many ways making it the perfect solution on holidays, at the grandparents' or even at home. Janet lives in London on the banks of the river Thames where she enjoys working with young people with challenging childhoods, cycling and is a regular at the local boxing gym. However, there’s value to be found as you can also use this travel cot at home with its multiple uses.

For holidays in hot climates, a breathable mattress and all-around mesh panel are factors to consider. On the included changing table with safety belt, you can change your baby’s nappies and lay down your little one back in the cot. Whilst compact and able to fit under some beds while not in use, it does have a large footprint and therefore takes up quite a lot of car boot space and may not fit into the boot of smaller cars. Forget tricky folds, the pop-up style mechanism of the Bugaboo Stardust takes just seconds: simply pull the cot open from flat by pulling both sides. The Nuna SENA Travel Cot Changereasily fits ontop of the Nuna SENA travel cot, making it easier for nappy changes - it offers the perfect height for when parents are changing baby.Overall, the cot is smaller in size than some other options, but that means it folds up smaller too. Sweet2Sleep is the perfect bedside companion to keep your precious newborn nearby while also giving them a safe space to dream. It folds up to an easily transportable, small travel bag and has lovely extras such as the hanging toy bar and night light which are well thought out. Once the baby is older, it becomes a travel cot that's almost a metre in length, offering lots of space for a growing toddler and a mattress that our parent testers really rated. It also has longevity: while most travel cots have an upper weight limit of 15kg, this one does not, due to the fact the base sits on the floor.
