BabyStart Travel Cot - Grey and Green.

Product Information

Sleep experts recommend that babies sleep in a sleeping bag rather than using blankets until they are around 12 months old, to keep them safe. Showcasing our biggest travel cot innovation since Graco®’s original Pack ‘N Play® was released over 30 years ago. Durable materials and wipe-clean fabrics keep messes at bay and allow you to create a safe space to play wherever you go. They are on the 91st centile though so you may get a bit longer out of these if your little ones are not quite as tall. We just put the mattress on top and didn’t use the pocket, but I should add my little ones were 16 months old when we started using this travel cot and so the concern of them getting wedged in any gaps around the side of a mattress doesn’t really apply.

It's not the most compact travel cot when it's assembled and is still quite large when it's folded — it's wide and square, which may be awkward to transport in smaller car boots. The travel cot is suitable from birth to three years of age and babies and toddlers weighing up to 15kg.Some of the travel cots on our list fold into a long rectangular shape more suited to public transport, others fold flat to fit in a car boot. The travel cot is broken already the strap u pull to assemble broke off and now not useable would have sent back but have no way if wrapping it up. One parent tester said, “It feels secure, with the side bars locking in place, and is sturdy enough to accommodate a lively toddler. Travel cot mattresses are often thinner and harder than a regular cot mattress,” says Kate Holmes of safe sleep experts The Lullaby Trust, “but this is completely normal and you shouldn’t place folded blankets or a quilt under your baby to try to make them more comfortable.

To add to your travel cot and to keep your little one as comfortable as possible when they're away from home, have a look at our beautiful range of baby sleeping bags. It’s on par with the Micralite in terms of quality but gets bonus points for the foldable newborn level and super easy assembly. We bought these as they fold so small and take up virtually no room in a car that is heavily overloaded with all the stuff you need for travelling with kids. There’s lots of thoughtful detail in its design such as the newborn level aimed to save your back in those early days (especially useful if you’ve had a C-section), changing table and utility pocket for keeping nappies and essentials close by.Overall, the cot is smaller in size than some other options, but that means it folds up smaller too.
