Sturdy
A travel cot offers your child a comfortable and safe place to rest away from home. They're usually lightweight, compact and easy to assemble. They can be used to spend the holidays, for staying overnight at friends' houses or even if you're visiting relatives who live far from home. They're also great for parents who co-sleep with their infants but would like to provide them with a dedicated sleeping space.
If you're looking for a travel cot that can multi-task take a look at the Joie Kubbie Sleep. It's a cot that can be used as a bassinet to infants, and also doubles up as an easy-to-use changing table and rocking mat. You can easily change your baby's nappy and then rock them back to sleep using the built-in rocking mechanism. It is also simple to put together and comes in a compact bag.
Another alternative is the Red Kite Sleep Tight Travel Cot. It's a lot cheaper than other models, yet provides excellent security and safety. It's fairly easy to put together by clicking up all four sides and then pushing down on the base (although it took our home tester a few attempts). The mattress slides inside and the mesh side panels provide good airflow.
The mattress is thin and not as robust as other cots for travel. It's not recommended for long-term use, as your baby will grow and put more stress on their joints, muscles, and bones. If your baby gets caught in the gaps on the sides, they may be at risk of developing Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) through suffocation.
The most important factor to consider when choosing the right travel cot is where you'll use it. If you're just going to use it for short trips or overnight stays at friends home, a less heavy model with a simple mattress will suffice. However, if you plan to take your child on a holiday it's worth investing in an expensive model that is lighter and stable. It also comes with a thicker mattress. The most effective travel cots fold down to an impressively compact size, making them easy to store.

The Red Kite Sleeptight Travel Cot is a good option. It offers a large sleeping area and plenty of ventilation due to the mesh sides.
