Baby Travel Cots

Choosing between all the baby travel cots can be a minefield. There are literally hundreds of them, from pop up cots to sturdy heavy multi-function cots and more!

We have checked out the latest greatest (and occassionally oldest and most reliable) infant travel beds available, choosing our favourites for review.

So how do I choose?

Time away from our familiar surroundings and smells is enough to disrupt the shorter sleep rhythms of our baby. And it can be a real holiday downer if you have a baby who won’t or can’t sleep.

Afterall, we all have very different ideas on what travel means to us.

What's most important is that the travel cot you choose, fits your travel cot needs.

Obviously if you’re only ever going to lug it from the house to the car, because your travel is mostly driving, then weight isn’t an issue and the traditional travel cots are a great option.

However, if you’re a frequent flyer or trekker, then the lighter the better.

The big compromise comes with stability.

When your baby is still an infant (not yet mobile), the lightweight models are great. But as soon as your little munchkin can stand and move about, moving you into the realms of toddler travel, stability becomes a major factor.

Many lightweight travel cots double as outdoor/indoor play pens, which is a bonus.

And many come with UV shades or protection, but often at an extra cost.

Taking baby on holiday? Don't leave anything behind...
