Travel Cot Bedside
A travel cot can be a temporary and safe sleeping solution for your child during the time you are away from home. They can be used in hotels, at friend' houses or even when camping.
This travel cot has a bassinet that is built-in to accommodate infants. It also comes with the option of a drop-side which can be controlled with a push button. This travel cot is ideal for those who need the added comfort of a bassinet when travelling.
Sturdy
A travel cot provides your child a cozy and safe place to sleep away from home. They're typically light compact and easy to put together. You can use them to spend the holidays, for stay-overs at friends' houses or even if you're visiting relatives who live far away. They're also great for those who co-sleep with their infants but would like to provide them with an exclusive sleeping space.
If you're looking for a multi-purpose travel cot, the Joie Kubbie Sleep is a fantastic choice. It can be used for infants as a bassinet but also as an portable rocking mat as well as a changing table. It is easy to change your baby's nappy and then rock them back to sleep using the built-in rocking feature. It's also easy to assemble, and comes in a compact bag.
Another option is the Red Kite Sleep Tight Travel Cot. It's a lot cheaper than other models but still is extremely secure and safe. It's relatively quick to assemble by clicking up all four sides and pushing down the base (although it did take our home tester a few tries). The mattress slides into place and the mesh side panels provide plenty of airflow.
The mattress is not as durable as other travel cots. It is not recommended for use over a long period of time because your baby will grow and put more stress on their joints, muscles, and bones. If your baby gets caught in the gaps on the sides, they could be at risk of developing Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) by suffocation.
The most important thing to consider when choosing the right travel cot is where you'll use it. If you only plan to use it on short trips or for overnight stays at your friends' homes, a lighter model with a bed that is basic will suffice. If you're planning to take your child on vacation, it's worthwhile to invest in an option that is less heavy, more stable and has a more substantial mattress. The most effective travel cots are small and easy to store.
Confortable
A bedside for a travel cot can be a wonderful way for your baby to sleep during travel especially in the case of frequent travelers.

Many models of travel cots include additional features, such as an arch for toys that can be used to entertain your baby while they're changing or for playing time generally. Some also come with a hood and canopy that can be used to shield your child from sun, and also features like lights, music and vibrations.
A great option is the Red Kite Sleeptight travel cot, which provides an ample sleeping space as well as plenty of airflow through its mesh sides. The base can fold down and be secured by Velcro straps and a bassinet holder is available for newborns. We recommend a more substantial mattress since the one that comes with it is quite thin. The cot is lightweight and folds down and can be stored in a matter of seconds. It comes with a carry bag.
Another popular model is the Joie Kubbie Sleep, which is a multi-purpose travel cot that can be used from birth. It comes with a drop-down bed that can be lowered with the press of a button, allowing the baby to go in bassinet mode. The mesh wall on the outside and mattress cover can be zipped off to make cleaning easier and the bed itself is extremely robust.
However, it's heavy and large, so it could be best suited to those with a big car boot or planning to travel by bus or train. It's also pricey, but if you're planning to travel frequently with your child it could be an excellent investment. Having a safe, comfortable space for your child to rest away from home can make all the difference during a trip or during a visit to a friend's house. A high-end travel cot will ensure that your baby is comfortable on all journeys.

Pick a cot with wheels and a carry bag to help you move it.
Some travel cots are designed to be easy to assemble and disassemble which is great for families traveling with a newborn. However not all cots are created equal, so it's essential to read the instructions carefully before purchasing. Some cots require that you connect the pieces in a particular order. This can be frustrating for those who aren't sure how to.

It's a good idea to practice making it at home prior to your trip, to ensure you don't run into any problems during the holiday. Travel cots should have wheels and castors that are locked to enable them to be moved easily. They must also be strong enough to support the weight of your child.
Some travel cots come with the ability to fold down and be used as a playpen for older children. This is a great feature, especially for families that travel often. It's also an effective way to keep your baby amused when they're bored.

Most travel cots fold down into a compact size that fits in your car boot, but certain models are bigger and might not fit in your car. Make sure you see a demonstration before buying if you're not sure about the dimensions of the travel cot.
Another factor to consider is the amount you're willing to pay for an upholstered travel cot. There are models that are affordable for less than 100 euros, but the best travel cots are expensive. If you're looking to purchase a top quality product at an affordable price look into comparing different models before making your decision. One option that is worth considering is the Hauck Sleep'n Play Centre Travel Cot, which is inexpensive but has all the bells and whistles, including a removable bassinet for time to cuddle and a zippered side panel that transforms the bed into a playpen (crawl in - crawl out).
