Baby travel cots

Advice on choosing a travel cot for your baby, plus the opportunity to purchase a range of travel cots including compact and wooden varieties.


Discuss baby travel cots on our forums, right now! Or, post a comment below.

A travel cot (also known as a sleeping cot) is a foldaway cot which is completely portable, with most doubling up as a playpen. They are useful when visiting friends or family, you can put your baby into the travel cot knowing she or he is safe and your host?s things are safe too!

Many travel cots look alike, but some come with additional features such as a bassinet, which raises your young baby up, some also come with a changing table option. Some travel cots are lighter than others, but it is unlikely you will be able to carry any of them very far.

If you need to leave your baby somewhere secure frequently then you should opt for a proper playpen, but for occasion use a travel cot is ideal.

Is it safe for a baby to sleep in a travel cot (from birth until as long as size allows)? Our baby's room is TINY! A travel cot would be perfect size wise - I am just concerned about the long-term effects of sleeping in a travel cot. (i.e. damage to their backs etc.) I am planning to buy an additional mattress for the travel cot for added support? Could you suggest a good one which offers maximum support for baby?
