Sturdy
A travel cot provides your child a comfortable and secure place to rest away from home. They're typically light, compact and easy to assemble. They can be used on holidays, for overnight stays at family members' homes or if you're visiting relatives far away. They are also ideal for parents who co-sleep but wish to provide their child with a separate sleeping area.
If you're looking for a portable bedside cot used that can be multi-purpose take a look at the Joie Kubbie Sleep. It can be used by infants as a bassinet but also as an easy rocking mat that can be used as a changing table. You can easily change the baby's diaper and then rock them back to sleep using the built-in rocking mechanism. It's designed to be simple to assemble and is packed in a handy travel bag.
Another option is the Red Kite Sleep Tight Travel Cot. It's much less expensive but still provides excellent security and security. It's relatively quick to assemble by simply squeezing up all four sides before pushing down on the base (although it did take our at-home tester a few goes). The mattress slides into place and the mesh side panels offer good airflow.
The mattress is thin and not as sturdy as other cots for travel. It's not recommended for long-term use especially as your baby will grow and put more stress on their joints, bones, and muscles. If your baby rolls into the spaces between the sides, they may be at risk for Sudden Infant Death Syndrome.
When choosing a travel bed the most important aspect to consider is the location you'll be using it. If you only plan to use it for short trips or for overnight stays at friends' homes, a lighter model with a bed that is basic is sufficient. If you're planning to take your child on holiday with you it's worth investing in an expensive model that is more lightweight and stable. It also comes with more cushion. The most effective travel cots fold down to an impressively small size, making them easy to put away.
Comfortable
If you are frequently traveling, a travel cot can be a great solution to keep your baby comfortable while traveling. A reputable travel cot must give your child comfort and security, while also being easy to put together and clean. It must also be light enough for you to carry and store when not in use. Many models of travel cribs have additional features, such as an arched toy that can be used to entertain while your baby is changing or just to play. Some models come with the option of a canopy or hood to protect your baby against the sun. Other models come with features such as music, lights and vibrations.
The Red Kite Sleeptight Travel Cot is a good option. It offers a large sleeping area and plenty of ventilation due to its mesh sides. The base can be folded down and secured with Velcro straps. A bassinet for infants is also available. The mattress is thin, so we'd recommend a thicker one, but the cot itself is lightweight and can be folded up and stored in seconds. It is also supplied with a carrying case.
A multi-purpose travel cot, the Joie Kubbie Sleep is another popular model. It can be used from the moment of the time of birth. It comes with a drop-down bed which can be adjusted at the press of a button, which allows the baby to be in bassinet mode. The outer mesh wall and mattress cover can be zipped off for easy cleaning, and the bed itself is extremely robust.
However, it's heavy and large, so it is best suited for those with a large car boot or planning to travel via train or bus. It's also pricey but if you're looking to travel regularly with your infant, this could be a great investment. A safe, comfortable place for your baby to sleep when you're away from home is crucial.
