Babylo Deluxe Drop Side Co-Sleeper Bedside Travel Cot, Grey Mélange, Pack of 1

Product Information

However, we understand that somehow, sometimes, somewhere, someone may be selling the item you want for less!

If you are travelling with a baby less than three months old on a flight, we recommended taking this one for sleeping on-the-go, if you get the luxury of seats with extra leg room.What’s more, the bouncer can be used either on top of the cot or standalone, as can the changing mat. This is a travel cot, changing table and bouncer in one, so you can create a home from home for your baby when you travel. Sleep positioners and pillows must not be used and there should also be no loose or bulky bedding inside the crib as this can cause a baby to overheat. Our tester really liked its tent-like design - close to the floor means there's no risk of kids falling out and the cosier sleeping space makes it ideal for younger babies. It meant that my wife had to get up slightly to check on our daughter, or if she picked her up for a feed.

Two of the cot’s legs also come with integrated wheels, which makes it extremely convenient to move around the bedroom once assembled. It has a padded base to protect and comfort and mesh sides that offer ventilation and a window, so you can keep an eye on your little one.

We were really impressed by the feel of the triple-layered mattress, which is designed to pull away heat and humidity, and will come in useful if you’re jetting off to tropical climes. If it could be used as our daughter grows (ie as a play pen), then even better as it would save us money down the line.

Could it be moved around easily, particularly through doorways, from one room to another, and up and down the stairs? 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 USP of the Joie Kubbie Sleep travel cot is the ‘next to me’ style of its bassinet, whose side can be lifted and lowered for easy access to your baby, while the entire unit can be strapped to the bed for safety. Although a little fiddly to set up and use, once you’ve mastered it, you’ll wonder how you ever did without the added extras. The side can be easily zipped down so you can lift baby in and out of the bed for feeds during the night, or zipped up during nap times.

As your baby gets a little older and more mobile, remove bassinet to create a larger and deeper cot. While some hotels and Airbnbs promise to provide travel cots for the tiniest members of the family, you’ve no idea how many children have slept on them before your little darlings, or predict what that means for how comfortable and sturdy they are. Five products were then awarded a Mumsnet Best badge – these are the products that we feel offer the absolute best value for most parents.Mesh construction ensures optimum airflow, while a drop-down side will give you the option to safely co-sleep with your baby to keep them an extra sense of security in unfamiliar surroundings. This is because it’s easier to put down a baby in a higher bassinet – babies develop what’s known as the Moro reflex, which causes their arms to jump if they think they’re being dropped; this could be felt if placing them lower down into a travel cot. Silver Cross’s Slumber travel cot is contemporary and lightweight, with a pop-up design that can be assembled in seconds. If you’re not someone who will be travelling too often with baby, or are on a tight budget, this cot will serve its purpose. It is most suitable for use from six months up to approximately eighteen months and, when outgrown, makes the ideal playhouse for little ones so you can continue to use this cute cot for years to come.
