BabyStart Travel Cot - Grey and Green.

Product Information

This Internet site provides information of a general nature and is designed for educational purposes only. 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. However, at 10kg, the PopUp (along with the Graco Contour Electa) is the heaviest option on our list and is quite bulky when folded. This travel cot comes with a firm and comfortable mattress, with enough padding for your little one to sleep safely and comfortably. For parents of babies and toddlers, a lot revolves around sleep, which is why it’s especially important that a sleeping place for your little one is safe, snug and simple to set up.

Travel cot mattresses are often the feature that parents are least satisfied with, as they are often thin and flimsy. The brand known for stylish baby products won't disappoint parents on the go, with a sleek silhouette, premium-feeling fabrics and excellent functionality. You may need to run through it with anyone else that’s going to be using your travel cot, such as a childminder or grandparent. The Airpod Travel Cot is suitable from birth, but it doesn't come with a bassinet, something that you might prefer for a newborn. I think this would be a good option for creating a semi-permanent space at a grandparents home as it does offer so much and would mean you wouldn’t need to bring lots of different baby accessories every time you visited.It comes with an optional mattress and fitted sheet for added comfort and folds up easily with the handy side buttons. It's impressively easy to set up and fold down – a true highlight compared to trickier styles such as the Joie Kubbie Sleep. Wherever you are, it requires no assembly, no special techniques–you can pop it open easily for naptime. If you're looking for longevity beyond that, the Venture TravelPod and the Micralite Sleep 'n' Go have a slightly longer lifespan, but will cost you a little more.

But remember, a firm mattress is important for safe sleep for your baby, and doesn’t mean your child won’t be comfortable. This BabyStart encapsulated sprung cot mattress provides enhanced comfort and support for your toddler.This travel cot is ideal for families who like to travel light yet don't want to compromise on quality, comfort or design. I’ve tried every variation and this is my pick of the best six (but you could also consider Bugaboo, BabyBjörn and Maxi-Cosi). With the help of my two sons aged one and three, we tested them at home as a sleep and play space and while visiting grandparents for the weekend. For holidays in hot climates, a breathable mattress and all-around mesh panel are factors to consider. Travel cots are an on-the-go sleeping option that means you won’t have to rely on sleeping arrangements at your destination.

Whether you plan to be adventurous in the early years of your baby’s life with many overnight stays or not, a travel cot is essential for any first-time parents.Do not use the travel cot when the child reaches 86cm in height, weighs more than 15kg or is able to climb out. A comfy mattress and a transport bag are included, and the cot is super-easy to set up in just one move! Personally, my three-year old was far too big for it and it wouldn’t be suitable for a mobile, climbing toddler. We just put the mattress on top and didn’t use the pocket, but I should add my little ones were 16 months old when we started using this travel cot and so the concern of them getting wedged in any gaps around the side of a mattress doesn’t really apply. Cali also praised its different elements, "The CoZee Go makes a great playpen, the zip opening was especially good for giving my son the freedom to come and go as he pleases.

With the help of a baby travel cot, you can rest assured knowing their compact designs and bags will make travelling a little easier. This design means there's no weight limit, a real plus point for parents with heavier-than-average toddler.

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. For ease of moving about, it also has two wheels when folded up that means you can pull it along like a suitcase – genius!
