Babylo Deluxe Drop Side Co-Sleeper Bedside Travel Cot, Grey Mélange, Pack of 1

Product Information

When testing travel cots, we considered size and weight limits, mattress quality, effectiveness, ease of build/fold, ease of transportation, any extra features or additions, and value the money. After being pushed, shoved and bounced into with the ‘help’ of our tester’s exuberant toddler, we were impressed at just how sturdy this neat-looking crib actually is. Your baby’s nursery wouldn’t be complete without a cot, and we have an extensive range to choose from by top baby furniture brands like Tutti Bambini and Kinderkraft.

Some cots have removable side panels, but if they don’t then you can always wipe them clean with warm water. 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. Drop us a message and we’ll get in touch to go through your favourites and answer any questions you may have. 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 relatively quick speed with which I was able to assemble the Joie Kubbie made it particularly useful when travelling – it was ready in a few short minutes after arriving at Granny’s house! But remember, a firm mattress is important for safe sleep for your baby, and doesn’t mean your child won’t be comfortable. We were delighted that this bassinet meant babies could feel just as close to their parents as they do at home. Plus, heavier cots tend to be more effort to erect and collapse, and you don’t want to waste precious moments of your holiday in a sweaty mess trying to put up your travel cot. They’re lightweight, have collapsible sides and fold into a portable format with a carry handle, making them great for holidays, breaks and overnight stays.

For frequent travellers they can be as familiar to little ones as their regular bed; helping to aid sleep in a different environment. Referring to expert review sites for extra information, we collated all the information to bring you our top picks. The Babylo Deluxe Drop Side Travel Cot is a 2 in 1 solution perfect for traveling and co-sleeping, suitable from birth and includes a removable newborn bassinet. The cheapest cot on our list, the Red Kite Sleeptight Travel Cot is a great choice if you're looking for an affordable but sturdy option. Which of course means that if you’re sleeping side by side with your baby at home, with the Joie Kubbie Sleep travel cot, you can do this on trips away, too.

Regular cots are often made of wood and to disassemble and put in a car or suitcase would be quite a task! This may not be the lightest or most attractive travel cot here, but it does the job for a fraction of the cost of other models. This is because it’s easier to put down a baby in a higher bassinet – babies develop what’s known as the Moro reflex, which causes their arms to jump if they think they’re being dropped; this could be felt if placing them lower down into a travel cot. We love the two-wheel design that makes the cot easy to drag around, and it's not bad to look at either.
