Red Kite Black Sleep Tight Travel Cot

Product Information

He was also impressed with the durability, saying, "I’m really impressed with the quality of the build, despite the ‘sticky’ mechanics. Coming in at only 6kg, this is one of the lightest travel cots on our list, and also one of the most affordable.

Whilst compact and able to fit under some beds while not in use, it does have a large footprint and therefore takes up quite a lot of car boot space and may not fit into the boot of smaller cars. This makes it a great choice for parents of toddlers in the upper weight and height percentiles, who can use it until their child learns to climb out.

If you're looking for a travel cot that will do double or even triple duty, this could be the product for you.

The brand known for stylish baby products won't disappoint parents on the go, with a sleek silhouette, premium-feeling fabrics and excellent functionality.This is definitely a cot that can be used as a place to nap if you are away on a family holiday or at a grandparent’s house. Travel cot mattresses are often the feature that parents are least satisfied with, as they are often thin and flimsy.

While it doesn’t use the most premium of materials, the Dreamer felt well put together and there was not anything that would suggest it wouldn’t stand the test of time. Think about how often you’re going to use it, and if you’ll be lifting it up and down stairs or in and out of a car. It’s also spacious enough when assembled to be used as a playpen for a younger child as they would have room to play with toys and move around.

It would slot nicely into a cupboard or in the boot of the car, although it may be too large to take onto a plane as hand luggage. For parents who want a travel cot from birth – perhaps to keep at a family member or caregiver's house – the Joie Kubbie Sleep combines the functionality of a travel cot with that of a bedside crib, with a drop-down side operated by a button that allows easier access to a newborn while in bassinet mode. But if you’re planning a relaxing trip, whether it’s a UK staycation or something more exotic, you can’t skimp on the travel cot.
