Product Information

We also turned to the Mumsnet forums - home of the UK's largest network of parents - to seek out authentic recommendations and honest reviews of the travel cots they'd used with their own children.

Our testers also found that fitting everything in the carry case and zipping it back up again could be difficult. MFM home tester Rovenna, who tried it with her 4-month-old, said, "The fact it has both a raised zip in baby bassinet or a deep bed for toddlers – as well as a comfortable and generously filled built in mattress – is fantastic. Most can be used from birth – we’ve specified the manufacturer’s instructions – but the travel cots that have a built-in bassinet offer a cosier, elevated sleep environment for newborns.This type of cot is usually used from the newborn stage up until toddlerhood – or until the little wriggler can climb out by themselves. The European New Product Development Department makes sure that products offered by Kinderkraft are as good as possible in terms of functionality and safety, and that they follow the latest design trends. The Graco foldlite is excellent value for a lightweight cot that’s easy to erect and collapse, and we felt both our seven-month-old and two-year-old testers were safe in there. In either position, its extra thick, comfortable foam mattress will ensure your little one is fast asleep in no time. Suitable from birth to around 3 months, the high-level mode means that you don’t have to lean down into the cot.

The wipe clean cot top changer is great accessory for newborns, although you may want to put a towel on top to reduce the shock to your baby of lying on cold plastic. But what we liked most about this cot is knowing that its fabric is OEKO-TEX-approved, which means all materials coming into contact with your baby’s skin are kind to sensitive skin. And, at the end of a long journey the last thing you need is a swearing partner who can’t figure out the instructions and a crying baby who wants to sleep.Our parent tester, Ruth, and her 18-month-old put some of the UK's top-rated travel cots through their paces. Quick folding and unfolding system – everything happens without you needing to disassemble, size of the cot after folding is just 97 x 63 x 14 cm. Change table: A convenient, removable change table with a safety belt allows you to maximise space while on the move. After it is folded up, the cot takes up little space and fits in the travel bag included in the set and it is lightweights.

When the child is little, it's a great storage option for all your necessities, and later, the detachable side makes it a convenient entrance to the playpen. The Lullaby Trust says that all cots need to comply with British Standards Institution (BSI) safety standards regardless of how old 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.

It feels nice and padded and had a solid firm base underneath to secure into the cot," said home tester Bridget, who tested this with her 4 month old. All of the materials feel extremely good quality — this is definitely one of the comfier travel cots that we've used. Travel cot mattresses are often thinner and feel harder than those in a permanent cot, but don’t be tempted to place folded blankets or a quilt under the baby to make them more comfortable, as this could cause injury, suffocation or overheating. If you have a little extra to spend, then the luxury and comfort of BabyBjörn's Light will make sleepovers fuss-free no matter where you go.
