On nearly all models the mattress is very thin and it is often advisable to pad this out or purchase a separate travel cot mattress. Also, check the weight: the BabyBjorn weighs in at 6kg whereas the Graco Contour Electra is a hefty 14kg.

That is, they function as a travel cot and apart from a thin mattress or base mat, there is little in the way of extra features. She’s also safe away from her sister’s reach and gets to have her toys to herself for a little while which is nice for her. There’s no need for any extra purchases either as it comes with a foldable base mattress, plus it fits standard cot bedding too. As with most things though when it comes to baby equipment, the choice of travel cots is not straightforward. It’s super quick to set up and just as easy to fold down in less than two minutes, and can be neatly zipped away within the carry bag, making it convenient in any mode of transportation.This Internet site provides information of a general nature and is designed for educational purposes only.

One of the key requirements of a travel cot is that it needs to be easy to assemble and disassemble and it must also be lightweight and compact for travelling. Now 9 years into motherhood and enthusiastic about finding great products and helpful solutions for busy families to make life more fun and easier too. Hammock bit aside as I don't have experience of this oneI wouldn't get a travel cot as a normal cot with the intention of using it for years.

The bassinet cots come with a sturdy, slightly firm mattress (which is more favourable to me than the soft overly spongy ones). One of the main advantages of this cot is that the sleeping platform can be raised for newborn babies or lowered for older ones. I really love this travel cot and it’s now being used each and every day to ensure I get some stuff done and my littlest one can play without bumping into things or getting to things or areas that are not suitable for her.

It features fully padded top rails to ensure safety and comfort when lifting your little one in and out, and rest assured, the breathable mesh fabric side panels enable you to keep an eye on them and vice versa.
