When you're thinking of essentials for your little one, you probably already have a cosy cot picked out, but what about a travel cot if you love travelling? In addition to packing your baby's travel system and gathering all the necessities before heading off on holiday with your family, a travel cot will help your little one to sleep as soundly as possible, even when you're away from home.
You probably did a lot of research on the best cot and bedside crib for your baby but may not have considered investing in a travel cot yet. Put simply, a travel cot is a portable, lightweight option designed to fold away compactly. Its collapsible sides and storage bag are some of the features that make it the perfect solution for trips away. Like a travel stroller , it's another one of those holiday essentials that you'll want to invest in when travelling with children under 5 years old.
You most likely won't need a travel cot for the first few months, especially if you already have a Moses basket , a portable crib or a carrycot suitable for overnight sleeping. If you don't go away very often, then you might be better off borrowing a cot from a friend, as it can be an expensive purchase if you're only going to be using it once a year.

A lot of hotels and holiday cottages may provide travel cots and other baby equipment, so check with them before you travel. If you are away from home often, then a travel cot is a good purchase, as it will last well past the newborn months and will prove extremely useful at other times, too. For example, for your baby's daytime naps when you're visiting friends or staying over with grandparents overnight. We've enlisted the help of expert mum testers to put the best travel cots through their paces, taking into account the weight, size, price, assembly, age suitability and stability. Our annual Mother&Baby Awards also help us bring you the best advice about current products on the market.
The best travel cot 2024
1. venture uk airpod baby and toddler travel cot, best travel cot overall, description.
Silver winner for Best Travel Product Over £30 in the M&B Awards 2023 Designed to provide little ones with a place to rest and play no matter where you are, the Airpod is assembled in just three easy steps with no tools required meaning it's ready to go in less than a minute. The Airpod weighs just 6kg and can be folded into a bag no larger than a big shopping bag. Despite how lightweight it is, testers agree that the cot was good quality and felt sturdy and secure. One mum tester says, "I was impressed with the materials used and quality feel of the cot once it was up. Felt steady and secure when lifting child in and out of the bed. Child was able to nap well, good ventilation through the sides."
Another of our mum testers likes how lightweight and how small the travel cot folds. She describes it as; "Super portable and barely took space in the car boot. This meant we were able to pack all our other luggage without worrying about space." She also liked that it wasn't too heavy, which made it easy to lug around upstairs when they staying in hotels without lifts.
All of our testers agreed that a bassinet option would have been great with this travel cot, especially parents of younger babies. One of our testers whose baby is five months says, "It simply wasn't useful overnight with his wake-ups having to bend. I could barely reach him and resorted to giving up using it and ended up having to co sleep in our bed. This defeats the point of a travel cot." We think that for parents of young babies aged 6 months and under, this travel cot probably isn't what you're looking for. But for everyone else, this is a great portable travel option, and our testers were able to get the cot set up easily and quickly with the simple instructions.

- The all round mesh sides provide lots of ventilation for your little one while they rest and enable you to see and check on them from all directions
- This is a compact travel cot that's much smaller, lightweight, and less bulky than traditional ones. When folded, it measures just 60x15x50 cm
- The mattress makes this cot super cosy and comfortable for baby
- Unfortunately there's no raised bassinet
2. Graco FoldLite
Best travel cot for compact fold.
www.oliversbabycare.co.uk
Bronze winner for Best Travel Product Over £30 in the M&B Awards 2023
Suitable from birth to approximately three years old, the FoldLite was hailed by parents for its lightweight frame, but it has also won a prestigious Mother&Baby Awards 2023 Bronze award. The cot collapses to just 26cm wide. Our Mum tester Sarah says, "When folded down for travel it's small and neat and doesn't take up too much valuable boot space when you're already contending with buggies and suitcases." Testers loved the Home Fold feature to help fold away quickly and clear space within seconds. The cot unfolds and just clicks together, only two of the sides need to click together due to the way it is folded which makes putting the cot up and down much easier and quicker.
One of our mum testers Archana didn't get along with the cot as well when it came to dismantling it fully though. She says, "Folding into the slide away is easy - and really handy for day to day use - that’s what I liked most about it - however folding away fully and putting in the bag is quite clunky and a chore."
The FoldLite has a mesh lining and two wheels for easy manoeuvrability, making it a useful portable cot for travelling with. It's easy to pop up, says Sarah whose grandparents popped it up without any instructions. She enjoys using it around the house and says, "The Foldlite travel cot has been most useful to us for quick and easy use around the house with a mobile baby. It genuinely is two clicks to put up or down and the house fold setting means I can quickly pop it out from next to the sofa if I need to iron or nip to the toilet and pop it back in a few seconds so it's not taking over the room." She also thinks it would be invaluable for holiday cottages that may not be very well baby-proofed.
The cot also comes with a mattress included. Our mum tester Georgia says, "The only issue I had with it was once wrapping the mattress around the base you do have to pull it quite tightly to then fit it in the bag." Overall our testers love the convenience of having a pop-up cot to hand at home. One thing to be aware of though, as our mum tester Joanna pointed out, is that It has quite a large high sides so it can be difficult to reach within, especially if you have a bad back.
Read our full review of the Graco FoldLite.
- Choose between two different ways to fold – this is greater quick changes at home, and also trips away from home with the extra compact fold version.
- Easy to fold and store away at home – folding this way is fast and extra flat too at just 26cm wide. It pops back up fast too!
- Super lightweight – over 30 percent less overall weight than most full size travel cots at just 6.7kg
- The carry bag is very convenient for travel – the cot itself also has two wheels for easy manoeuvrability
- Assembly not totally straightforward as one tester had trouble when dismantling the product fully
- Requires more effort to fit into the bag once wrapping the mattress around the base
3. Bugaboo Stardust Travel Cot
Best compact travel cot.
www.bugaboo.com
If you're looking for a travel cot that's a doddle to set up and folds away in seconds, this is it – no more grappling with unwieldy parts when you arrive at your destination with a tired baby. We love the clever design, which gives a seamless experience on the go. Our mum tester Meg found the cot to be very sturdy and easy to pack and unpack. She says it folds up reasonable small, and likes that the carry handle makes it easier to transport. "Seems comfortable" she adds, "the newborn bassinet is super convenient for little ones and my babe settled immediately in it."
Convenient for carrying around your home too, it comes with a zip-in carrycot insert, an all-around mesh panel for airflow and a lovely firm and comfortable mattress. It's a shame the mattress doesn't include a waterproof cover, so you'll have to buy this separately to protect it. Our parent tester Matt bought this cot mainly for the ease of popping it up and down, but also says he liked that they could raise the height of the mattress when their baby was very little. this provides easier access to lift baby in and out. "There don't seem to be many travel cots that have that design," he says, "we used it as much at home for naps as we did on the road. It's a great bit of kit." The suspended base will also protect your little ones from draughts.
- Includes carrycot insert and mattress
- You can fold the cot with the mattress still inside as long – as you use without the newborn insert
- Great for both experienced and first-time parents
- Easy to assemble – with a simple no-fuss pop-up design you can literally achieve a 1-second unfold
- Compact to fold in just 3 simple steps
- Unfortunately, the mattress doesn't include a waterproof cover

Best budget travel cot.
www.argos.co.uk
Shortlisted for Best Travel Product Over £25 in the M&B Awards 2019
This deluxe super lightweight travel cot has a bassinet attachment that clicks easily onto the top, making it perfect for changing nappies. It also has wheels, so it's easy to move around. The best part is that it sets up and folds away in seconds, making it a great travel cot that won't break the bank. Our mum tester Tori likes that it folds up thin to fit in their car boot along with a double pram and a few bags. She says, "I would definitely recommend this product to other mums, it's so easy to put up and down and transport on its handy bag"
Mum tester Sarah agrees, and would also recommend it for anyone looking for an inexpensive no-nonsense travel cot. She says it was lightweight enough for her to carry around, and compact enough to pack in their car along with everything else. She says, "Once I'd done the initial set up of the cot, it was easy to put together and to take apart too." Our mum testers also say the instructions are really easy to follow and everything is easy to wipe down to keep clean while travelling. One thing to be aware of is that the design of this cot is quite low to the ground, which may be something to keep in mind if you have back problems when lifting baby in and out.

5. Baby Bjorn Travel Cot Light
Best lightweight travel cot.
Shortlisted for Best Travel Product over £25 at the M&B Awards 2015
This travel cot is a real doddle to assemble – just slip it out of its travel bag, and it practically unfolds automatically, so there's no grappling with poles or fiddling with extra accessories. It's also easy to fold away and is really light and portable, making it perfect for taking with you when you visit relatives, or just moving with baby around your home. Our mum tester Nicola did find the cot to be less attractive than others in terms of design appeal, but said her little one slept well in it and seemed very comfortable. She liked that it also comes with a nice carry bag, which she says makes it easy to transport.
The built-in base helps to keep it standing nice and sturdy in its position, but this is a very lightweight cot. Mum Nicola found it to be less robust than others, saying "Amelia can push it around by herself." However, she also says it's the easiest travel cot to carry as it's amazingly light." We love that the fabric can be removed and popped in the washing machine – a real bonus if you have a baby with reflux. The materials of this travel cot meet the requirements of OEKO-TEX Standard 100, Class 1 for baby products, which essentially means kind to your baby's sensitive skin. One thing to keep in mind is that it may be harder to dry, which is quite important if you're away and need to wash and dry it.

6. Joie Excursion Change and Bounce
Best newborn travel cot.
www.very.co.uk
This versatile travel cot comes with lots of extra accessories, so it's great value for money. You basically get three-in-one, with a a full-size bassinet, which snaps easily on and off as required, as well as a changing unit and portable bouncing seat. What makes this travel cot even more unique is that there are also lots of sound and light features, including a soothing sound vibration, plus five classical lullabies and nature sounds. The two integrated wheels make it easy to move from room to room, and there's also a nightlight with three brightness settings to guide you In the dark.
Despite all the extras, it still folds compactly and comes with its own travel storage bag. Our mum tester Kathryn did find it quite difficult to assemble though. "I had to enlist my husband's help." she says, adding that it's sturdy and almost as big as a normal cot. however she points out that the integrated wheels do make it easier to move. She says the extra accessories that come with the cot would be great for a newborn, but her Olly was a bit too old for them. He did, however, like the sounds, and she says the light was great for night changes without fully waking him. Overall, Kathryn recommends this cot as a real investment that will grow with your baby.,
Our mum tester Nicola was also impressed, and like that the mesh sides enabled her to check on her little one without getting out of bed.

7. Nuna Sena Aire Travel Cot
Best travel cot mattress.
www.johnlewis.com
Shortlisted for Best Travel Product over £25 at the M&B Awards 2018
This stylish, contemporary travel cot takes seconds to put together and is reasonably quick and easy to fold, even with a baby in your arms, making it ideal for travel. We love the bassinet accessory, which makes this brilliant for use from birth, and so does our mum tester Kirsty who says, "The bassinet makes it easy to lift Rikku in and out." She did find it a bit fiddly to detach though.
Doubling up as a play space, this travel cot has padded edges to prevent pinched fingers, and it also comes with an organic cotton sheet included and its own bag to store and transport it in. Kirsty especially liked that the sheet stayed in place with the velcro. The cot has a sturdy aluminium frame and a triple-layered ventilated mattress for superior comfort. Mum tester Nicola thought it was very stylish and said her daughter slept well in it. She loved the "lovely, thick mattress" and extra machine-washable sheet, saying she found it was simple to assemble.
When it comes to set-up our mum tester Kirsty found it reasonably straightforward. However, she says it doesn't fold very neatly, and she found it fiddly to pack away. While the cot is certainly very sturdy, Kirsty says this makes it feel more heavy and take up a lot of space in their small car boot. Mum tester Nicola really liked the sturdiness of the travel cot too, but agrees that the only disadvantage is that it's quite heavy. She says, "I think I would struggle to get this from one place to another by myself."

8. Graco Contour Electra
Best value travel cot.
www.boots.com
The Graco Contour is a good-value travel cot with lots of extra features. Our mum testers love that it's quick and easy to assemble, and compact enough to fit into smaller spaces without taking up too much room. However, our mum tester Kathryn described it as one of the heaviest travel cots they tested. This meant that it was nice and roomy, and a good size for their baby, but Kathryn says it was almost the same size as their normal cot! Despite this, she agrees it's easy to assemble and put away in the carry bag included, plus, the wheels made it easier to move around, and she did like the neutral colour. Mum tester Nicola, on the other hand, points out that while the cream colour does look lovely, she imagines it could get dirty very quickly.
Loaded with extras such as a newborn bassinet, handy changing mat and toy bar, this is definitely a cot that represents great value for money, although Nicola points out that the changing unit, while it's a great idea, is only suitable for use up to 12 months. It also has a nightlight and musical feature, as well as the option to set the mattress to vibrate to help soothe your baby. The four mesh sides are a great feature too, allowing you to keep an eye on your little one, while also being useful for ventilation, but Kathryn found that she did have to bend low to reach her baby. Nicola also felt that the mattress was on the thin side, which meant that her little one didn't sleep as well as hoped.

9. Baby Elegance Kangu Foldable Bedside Sleeper
Best bassinet-style travel cot.
We love the innovative way this travel cot converts between two different modes, with a bassinet level for younger babies to cot, and the fact that you can use it in either fixed or rocking mode. This is top pick for newborns, so be aware you won't be able to use it much beyond six months old.
This travel cot is worth considering if you're really short on luggage space, as it's particularly compact once folded and one of the lightest travel cots we found. Our mum tester describes the cot as the best purchase they've made for their baby. She says, "We can't fit a cot in our bedroom and needed something that would last longer than the Moses basket. Our little boy sleeps so well in it and it's so easy to pick it up and carry downstairs. We have travelled with it too and it folds down neatly."
- Easily fold using one hand and use the carry handle to transport the cot around your home, even when carrying baby
- The cot folds into a storage bag, which can also be used to transport it more easily when travelling
- The legs can adjust to fix and lock in a stationery position or allow for a gentle rocking motion to soothe little one to sleep
- the vented mesh sides allow plenty of airflow to aid sleep and let you see baby more easily from afar
- The cot is lightweight for easy transportation
- Easy to clean – you can remove and wash the cover in your washing machine
- The mattress comes with the cot and it's anti-allergy
- Only able to use until 6 months
10. Bizzi Growin POD Travel Crib
Best carrycot travel cot.
This is a really clever invention! it looks like a really spacious changing bag, but then off you pop for your overnight stay, take everything out of the bag, and it changes into a travel crib. Our mum tester Jennifer thinks the design is stylish and that it's extremely easy to use. It doesn't take long to assemble and comes with a padded mattress. Jennifer says, "The travel cot section folds out in a few seconds and the rods are easily inserted to make it very sturdy. This means a new mum (who has little time on her hands) can easily erect this in minutes." She likes that it is easily transported and takes up no more than a bag's room in the car or walking, so it really can be taken anywhere! Jennifer says, "I have only used this at friends/ families homes but definitely would take it on weekends away or on holiday. It means I don't have to buy a big travel cot. It is also lightweight so don't have to worry about carrying something heavy."
Unfortunately, it isn't as long-lasting as the other travel cots on our list, as it's really only suitable until baby is four to six months old or when they start rolling, but it's definitely the smallest travel cot, not to mention the most compact and easy to carry. Our mum tester Esther says it's designed as a travel sleeping pod, for nighttime and daytime naps, and a changing bag. She had no trouble assembling it in a couple of minutes, and says it weights as much as a bag of sugar and would fit in easily amongst other items in a packed car when going away. She says, "We used the pod whilst away for the weekend and found it very useful, as we already had a travel cot packed for our older child and couldn't have fitted a second in the car."

11. BabyDan Travel Cot
Best long-lasting travel cot.
This travel cot represents good value for money, especially because it can be used from birth up to approximately three years of age. It's also very sturdy, which means it doubles up as a playpen for smaller babies. And although fairly large, it features wheels and a brake to make it easier to transport around the home. Reviewer Sophie describes it as an excellent travel cot and incredibly easy for one person to put up within minutes. Thankfully, folding it away is just as quick and easy, and it folds down to such a compact size, she says, which is then stored as a carry case and easy to stow away.
The cot also comes with a small toy bag attached, which could be useful for storing nappies or other baby essentials when you're on the move and away from home. Sophie loves that it can be used as a play pen too, and found the storage pouch to be useful. She says, "I initially set the cot up in the sitting room as a play pen/nap time cot. It is a full size cot so does take up some room but it means that the cot will last for several years before the baby outgrows it."
Our mum tester Corinne Hills said that standard cot bedding fit, then she found the mattress to be quite thin and had to pad it out with blankets. Mum tester Roz Walker described the mattress as okay for occasional use.
- Your baby will have plenty of space to stretch out and grow with this "full cot size" travel cot, measuring 60cm x 120cm
- You get great value for money as this cot is versatile and is also designed to be used as a play pen, to keeop little one contained at home or on your travels

- Mesh sides are a must, allowing baby to see out and you to see in – plus allowing air to flow freely through for a good night's sleep
- The wheels make for easy transportation of the cot around your home, and the cot has sturdy brakes.
- With it being a large cot, it is also heavier than others
- The mattress is quite thin
12. Red Kite Black Sleep Tight Travel Cot
Best simple travel cot.
The Sleeptight Travel Cot is an award-winning sleep solution from Red Kite. Stored in a carry bag, the Sleeptight Travel Cot is lightweight and compact folding. It is the perfect choice for holidays, visiting friends and family or for your own home. Mum Kat is really impressed with it after using several times and says, "it's good quality and not too bulky when folded so fits easily into my small car boot along with all the other baby paraphernalia needed for a night away!"
It's really easy to put up and take down and Kat says "it was so helpful that the instructions are printed onto the underside of the mattress - what a great idea!" She points out that you must put it up/take it down in the right order or you will struggle to get it folded correctly. The mattress doesn't come with a waterproof sheet so Kat used her own with a cot sheet on top of the mattress. She says, "For the price paid, it's exceptionally good value. 10/10!"
- The cot has a central locking base for extra safety
- It's easy to fold and store in the storage bag

Rrp: £ 139.99

It is suitable for babies and toddlers from birth to 15kg and it's lightweight and easy to fold. Plus, it includes a storage bag which makes it easy to carry when travelling. The SOFI has mesh sides to ensure you can see your little one and for good airflow. It also comes with a mattress and cover, and the frame can be used as a rocking frame too.
The cot is slightly narrower than some travel cots, but one reviewer says that this was exactly what they needed to fit it into their spare room for their new grandson when he stayed with them. They said that they love that it's on two levels too, so it's suitable for a newborn as well as a toddler, although they weren't sure their grandson will fit past the age of two years.
The fact that this cot is so easy to fold and comes in a cover, means it can be stored under another bed quite nicely. As this reviewer points out, while you use the top level, things can also be stored underneath. They say the only slight problem is the fitting of sheets, "It is fiddly", they say, "and you need to lift the mattress to be able to fit the sheet and tuck it in. But it is doable, so very happy with purchase."

Travel cots – All you need to know:
Choosing the right travel cot for you and your child.
Think about where and when you'll use a travel cot. If you are throwing it in the car boot when you're going to Granny's, check how bulky it is when folded and make sure it fits along with your pushchair and still leaves enough room for your luggage. If you're buying for your holiday and you'll be travelling to your destination by plane, boat or other public transport, choose one that folds very compactly to make it easier to pack. Consider, too, where you'll keep it at home when it's not in use.
Unpacking your travel cot after a long journey with a tired baby can be stressful, so choose something quick and easy to set up. Some travel cots can be assembled and folded with one hand, which is a lifesaver if you're holding your baby.
Some travel cots are designed to double as playpens , creating somewhere safe for your baby to play when she's awake. This is useful when you're away from home, especially if you're staying somewhere that's less baby-friendly, without any baby-proofing products , than your normal environment. This type of travel cot has added value as you can get more use out of it than a standard travel cot but check the manufacturer's guidelines before you buy to ensure it's safe to use as a playpen.
Features to consider before purchasing a travel cot
Here are some travel cot features to look out for when deciding on which travel cot is best for you and your baby.
Travel cots come with a mattress supplied, but some are comfier than others. Check how thick it is and whether it provides enough support for a good night's sleep. If not, thicker travel cot mattresses can be purchased separately – but that's an extra expense and something else to pack!
Fold mechanism
As well as checking how simple it is to assemble the travel cot, make sure you can fold it away again easily. Could you do it in a hurry if you're dashing to the airport? If you have older children, make sure inquisitive little fingers can't access the mechanism for folding the travel cot when it's in use.
Most travel cots have mesh sides to encourage airflow and enable you to see your baby easily when they're sleeping. Check the quality of the fabric and how easy it is to wipe clean.
If you want to move the cot elsewhere in the house for daytime naps or playpen use, choose one with wheels for easy manoeuvrability.
Standard cot bedding may not fit your travel cot, so check what size bedding is required and factor in any extra expense. Make sure the bedding fits the mattress securely with no loose fabric.
Choose a travel cot with side panels that zip open and closed if you'd like to be able to reach your baby without bending low over the side of the cot. If it doubles as a playpen, a 'window' to crawl through can add to the fun.
If you plan to travel with your baby to a climate where mosquitoes might bother them, choose a travel cot with an insect net, and check it fits the travel cot securely.
What age are travel cots advised for?
Travel cots come in a variety of sizes and styles, and they all have different upper age and/or weight limits. Consider how old your child will be when using the travel cot, and choose one suitable for their age. Most of the travel cots in our list above can be used from birth until your baby weighs 15kg, which is approximately three years old. Keep in mind that once your baby makes the transition from sleeping in a cot to a bed, they'll probably prefer a bed to a travel cot when away from home overnight.
Can I travel on a plane with a travel cot?
Yes! Although all airlines will have their own rules on luggage allowances, but if you are flying with a baby then typically parents of infants are allowed to take at least two items - e.g. travel cot, buggy or car seat - at no extra cost.
If you're buying a travel cot to take on holiday and are travelling by plane, boat or train, choose one that folds as compactly as possible to make it easier to transport. If you're driving, make sure it fits in your car boot and still leaves enough room for the rest of your luggage.
Think about where you'll keep the travel cot when it's not in use, too. If space is not an issue, you could look into the larger options available.
All travel cots are designed to be light enough to carry, but some are heavier than others, and there's generally a pay-off between how light it is and how durable it is.
If you'll be carrying it a lot on your journey, such as through an airport, then weight may take priority, but if you've got a cruising toddler, and throwing the cot in a big boot is about the extent of your lugging it around, then a sturdier, perhaps heavier, cot would be better.
How to assemble a travel cot
Wrestling with an unwieldy travel cot and a tired baby after a long journey is stress you really don't need in your life, so choose one that doesn't require an engineering degree to set up. While how to put up a travel cot differs depending on the brand, some can be assembled and folded away within seconds, even with one hand – and that's a really helpful feature if you're going to be assembling it with your baby or other children in tow.
Where can I buy a travel cot?
Whether you need one pronto or want to spend your time researching the perfect travel cot, there are plenty of places where you can pick one. We'd recommend these trusted retailers that offer great products and plenty of reviews so you can make sure you're buying the right one for your little one:
John Le wis
Mamas & Papas
Supermarkets also hold baby events where you can often pick up travel cots and other accessories for a great price. These include:
Can I buy a travel cot second-hand?
If you're looking to buy a second-hand travel cot, there are a few things to check before you make your purchase:
• Check that it assembles and folds down correctly
• Make sure it's sturdy
• Make sure the seller provides you with the original instruction booklet
It's also worth purchasing a new mattress for the travel cot
How to clean your travel cot
If your travel cot has been tucked away in the loft for a few years and it smells a bit musty, or your child has turned it into a bit of a mess, a good tip for cleaning is to use warm soapy water and a sponge.
Make sure to leave it out in the fresh air and sunlight to dry.
Travel cot safety
There are a number of safety aspects to check on your travel cot for your peace of mind.
Stability: Be sure to use the mattress that comes with the cot, as changing it could affect the stability of the cot and could make it easier to tip.
Escaping: Swapping for a thicker mattress could give your tot more height and make it easier for them to escape.
Corners: Be wary of how smooth corners are - make sure there is no chance of your baby's clothes getting caught on them to avoid any chance of strangulation.
Flexible sides: Pop-up-style tents may be easy to erect and dismantle; however, the flexible sides mean that if you were to stumble onto the cot, there would be no ridged sides to stop your fall.
Zips: Make sure you check all zips are secure, as any loose zips that become unattached could potentially become choking hazards.
Wheels: The wheels must be able to securely lock into place or have two wheels and two legs for sturdiness.
Test it out: Make sure you try it out before you travel to check all of the above safety aspects.
Safe sleeping in a travel cot
The general consensus is that you need to be following the same sleeping guidance for your baby in a travel cot as you would at home.
Here's what The Lullaby Trust have to say:
"The same 'safer sleep' rules apply to a travel cot, which should have a rigid frame and base, and a firm, flat mattress, covered in a waterproof material. Travel cot mattresses are often thinner and feel harder than those in a permanent cot, but don't be tempted to place folded blankets or a quilt under the baby to make them 'more comfortable'. If you are very tight for space, you may have to consider re-arranging the furniture in the room to ensure that the travel cot isn't against a radiator, in direct sunlight, and is out of reach of blind cords and hazards."
How we tested and chose these travel cots
Every year, our panel of real mums tests and reviews parenting products such as travel cots for the annual Mother&Baby Awards.

Babies don’t travel light. 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.
While some hotels and Airbnbs promise to provide travel cots for the tiniest members of the family, you’ve no idea how many children have slept on them before your little darlings, or predict what that means for how comfortable and sturdy they are. Taking a baby out of their usual safe, strong cot with a supportive mattress and putting them in a shaky cage with a rock-hard or spiky mattress is a fast way to ensure nobody in the family gets much shut-eye.
Different travel cots have different age and weight limits, so, before buying one, consider how many years of use you want to get from your cot. Size is another key factor when looking at travel cots, as those with a larger surface area can double up as a playpen in the day. Also, if you’re in unfamiliar territory and are travelling with a mini-escape artist, a travel cot with high mesh sides means you can see your child and they can see out, but they’re perfectly safe at all times.
However, size should not come at the expense of portability. Remember, you’re going to have a lot of other things to carry as well as the cot, and every extra kilo counts. 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.
All products in this round-up meet the European Standards for safety, which should always be your first consideration when buying a travel cot. Christina Rolles from safe sleep charity The Lullaby Trust says: “A travel cot should have a rigid frame and base, and a firm, flat mattress, covered in a waterproof material. Travel cot mattresses are often thinner and feel harder than those in a permanent cot, but don’t be tempted to place folded blankets or a quilt under the baby to make them more comfortable, as this could cause injury, suffocation or overheating.”

How we tested travel cots.
With the help of a seven-month-old and a two-year-old, we tested the travel cots for size, comfort and safety. The toddler has a habit of swinging their leg up and escaping their regular cot, so we tried to find ones that kept them contained. We also tested each cot for speed of assembly and disassembly and picked it up when folded, to see if it was something that could be carried around an airport.
The best travel cots for 2024 are:
- Best travel cot overall – Graco foldlite: £80, Amazon.co.uk
- Best budget travel cot – Red Kite sleep tight travel cot: £27, Asda.com
- Best travel cot for entertaining baby – Mamas & Papas joie commuter travel cot change and bounce: £190, Boots.com

Graco foldlite travel cot
- Best : Travel cot overall
- Dimensions : L 119cm x W 63.5cm x H 68cm
- Weight : 6.78kg
- Age limit : Suitable from birth to 15kg (approximately three years old)
- Lightweight
- Easy to erect and collapse
- Strong base
The foldlite from Graco is up to 30 per cent lighter than most other cots, which we definitely noticed and appreciated – you can easily lift it one-handed. You might even find it lighter than your nappy bag, which is a win if you’re carrying a lot of other luggage for your trip.
Erecting this cot was a joy – taking less than 30 seconds. All you need to do is unwrap the mattress, push up the sides, put the mattress in the bottom and it’s ready to go. Collapsing it is just as simple – it folds up super thin, too. We also liked the sturdy material and strong base. It’s a great price at £80 and it’s made to last.
Red Kite sleep tight travel cot
- Best : Budget travel cot
- Dimensions : L101cm x W72cm x H71cm
- Weight : 7.1kg
- Age limit : Suitable from birth to 15kg
- Budget-friendly
- Mattress quite stiff
This is the cheapest travel cot we tried but it’s perfectly functional. It’s safety-tested, comes with a carry bag, is easy to assemble and has mesh sides, to give you a clear view of your child as they rest or sleep.
It doesn’t win any prizes for design, as there are no frills – it’s simply a place to sleep. Plus, the mattress is a tad on the stiff side, so you may want to spend some of the money you’ve saved on the cost of the cot on a plumper mattress. However, it’s still a very good choice if you’re only going to use it now and then throughout the year.
Mamas & Papas joie commuter travel cot change and bounce
- Best : For entertaining baby
- Dimensions : L106cm x W70.5cm x H80cm
- Weight : 14.8kg
- Excellent value for money
This is a travel cot, changing table and bouncer in one, so you can create a home from home for your baby when you travel. The bouncer is a decent size, providing a place to relax and play for babies too young to sit up. It even has cuddly toys for little ones to reach and grab.
The starry print, which is exclusive to Mamas & Papas, gives the smallest babies something to look at to help them make sense of the world, and this also helps older kids relax. We suggest counting the stars on the mattress to encourage early numeracy skills in a fun way.
This cot is taller than most others we tried, which is great if you have a mini Houdini. It makes for an excellent play and sleep solution to keep at grandparents’ house and works out at excellent value for money, when you consider it’s three useful items in one.
BabyBjörn travel cot light
- Best : Lightweight cot
- Dimenions : L 112cm x W 82cm x H 64cm
- Weight : 6kg
- Age limit : Suitable from birth to three years
- Easy to set-up
- Kind to sensitive skin
This gets top marks for ease of setup. There’s no need to bend down or fiddle with anything on the floor – all you need to do is shake it out and then secure the sides. There’s a handy YouTube video showing how to put it up in just 25 seconds, and the presenter demonstrates it isn’t even going at top speed.
Weighing just 6kg, including the carry bag, your back will thank you when you’re taking it in and out of cars or planes. Our toddler tester approved of the mattress, which makes for a cosy sleeping place. But what we liked most about this cot is knowing that its fabric is OEKO-TEX-approved, which means all materials coming into contact with your baby’s skin are kind to sensitive skin.
Nuna sena aire
- Best : For breathability
- Dimenions : L107cm x W73.5cm x H74.5cm
- Weight : 12.26kg
- Soft and sturdy
If you’re all sharing a bedroom when you travel, it may get stuffy very quickly, especially if it isn’t an air-conditioned room. We like how the Nuna sena aire addresses this issue with its mesh sides, floor and mattress providing 360 degrees of ventilation, for ultimate airflow. The better a child can breathe, the deeper they sleep, giving everyone a more relaxing trip.
We were really impressed by the feel of the triple-layered mattress, which is designed to pull away heat and humidity, and will come in useful if you’re jetting off to tropical climes.
Its clever zigzag leg design pops open easily into a soft, sturdy dreamland and it’s one of the easiest to collapse – we found we could do it one-handed.
Silver Cross slumber carbon travel cot
- Best : For style
- Dimensions : L 112cm x W 80cm x H 67cm
- Weight : 6.25kg
- Newborn inserts
The first thing to note is this comes with a premium duffle bag carry case, so you’ll look stylish when you arrive at your destination. Open the cot – with ease, as it weighs just 6.25kg – and you’ll notice the material on the top and sides feels very high-quality. The decently padded mattress caused our two-year-old to exclaim, “I like ’dis one!”
We really liked the newborn insert, which raises very young babies to typical bed height, so you don’t have to break your back lifting them in and out of the cot. It also makes it easier to nurse a baby and transfer them back to a cot. If you’re using this as a playpen, you’ll also appreciate that one of the sides unzips, so tots can crawl in and out.
Kinderkraft lovi 3-in-1 baby crib
- Best : For fussy babies
- Dimensions : L 88cm x W 61cm x H 85cm
- Weight : 5kg
- Age limit : Suitable from birth to 9kg
- Rocking motion
- Time-consuming to set-up
- Newborns will outgrow it
While it takes a bit of time to erect this travel cot and rocker, there’s a very good YouTube video to show you the process. You can access it via a QR code on the instruction leaflet included, and it’s very simple to follow along.
The rocking motion is brilliant for little ones that need movement to settle, mimicking the gentle swaying motion of the womb. Babies are at a higher level in this cot, too, so you can pick them up and settle them down without pulling a muscle.
The only slight downside to this cot is that a baby will outgrow it within the year. That said, our youngest tester loved playing with the toy bar and three adorable hanging toys that come with it, so, while their time in it may be short, it will also be very sweet.
Bugaboo stardust travel cot
- Best : Two-in-one cot and playpen
- Dimensions : L 64cm x W 98cm x H 85cm
- Weight : 6.7kg
- Age limit : Suitable from birth to two years old
- Keep its shape well
- Newborn insert
- Mattress is a little fir
Setting up this pop-up travel cot was a total breeze, despite how tall and strudy it is once erected. We were surprised by how much the mattress kept it’s solid shape, with no crease or fold from being flat-packed within the cot and travel bag.
Mums will be grateful for the newborn insert, which raises babies to bed level. The breathable mesh is ideal for all seasons to keep baby’s temperature regulated.
The mattress is nicely padded for playtime but feels a little firm for bedtime. When topped with a matrress protector and Bugaboo’s breathable fitted sheet (£27.95, Bugaboo.com ), we nailed baby’s recquirements for a peaceful snooze. You really do get more bang for your buck with this travel cot, as it doubles up as a playpen and lasts until your little one is two years old.
Halo flex portable bassinet
- Best : Portable bedside crib
- Dimensions : L75cm x W100.3cm x H108.6cm
- Age limit : Suitable from birth to five months
A lightweight and portable bedside crib is hard to come by, so, we were very grateful Halo’s offering ticked a lot of boxes for parents to get that reassuring ‘home away from home’ feeling when on the move.
It can be a daunting experience taking a little one away for the first time, especially when they are used to co-sleeping at home. We were delighted that this bassinet meant babies could feel just as close to their parents as they do at home. The mattress is extra soft when wrapped in Halo’s 100 per cent cotton fitted sheet (£16.64, Halosleep.co.uk ), and the cot is surrounded by breathable lining to suit all temperatures, and enable parents to keep a 360 view of baby.
We have to admit, we did use this more at home than on our travels, as it was so easy to adjust the height of the crib for when you’re sitting on the sofa during the day or when you’re sleeping at night and want to comfort your baby quickly. The side of the crib lowers easily, with no need to stand up or hunch over. This is particularly helpful for mums recovering from C-section delivery as well as for night feeds.
An over-the-shoulder carry bag comes included but it is less sturdy than other holdalls we’ve tested, and one side is partially open, due to its drawstring closing, which didn’t feel as secure. The packing away was a simple enough four-step process.
Fisher-Price on the go travel baby dome
- Best : For on-the-go parents
- Dimensions : L80cm x W76cm x H71cm
- Weight : 2.5kg
- Age limit : Suitable from birth to five months (until babies can sit unaided)
This travel cot combines the perfect solution for on-the-go parents and tired babies. It’s lightweight, easy to set up and allows babies to nap or play wherever they are.
We love that this cot can be used indoors and outdoors, to encourage the whole family to get more vitamin D. The canopy keeps your little one protected from the sun as well as keeping out creepy crawlies.
As it folds up flat, we found it easy to keep it stored in the car for spontaneous day trips and overnight stays with the grandparents. However, it doesn’t come with a carry bag, which would have made it easier to keep clean and compact. Two overhead linking toys are included, to keep your baby entertained and relaxed.
ergoPouch easy sleep portable crib
- Best : For summer use
- Dimensions : L80cm x W49cm x H27cm
- Weight : 2.2kg
- Age limit : Suitable from birth to 9kg (or when baby starts rolling over)
- Ideal for summer
- Short-lived usage
You can’t get any more portable than this lightweight pop-up cot that folds up as a small rucksack and weighs just 2.2kg. The mosquito net is ideal for summer babies, if you want to get some fresh air and let them have a safe daytime nap outdoors.
If you are travelling with a baby less than three months old on a flight, we recommend taking this one for sleeping on-the-go, if you get the luxury of seats with extra leg room. The backpack will fit neatly under your seat or in the overhead lockers.
The only downfall is this bassinet is only suitable until your baby shows signs of rolling over, so it’s quite a hefty price for short-lived use.
Travel cot FAQs
What age is a travel cot for.
This will depend on the cot you buy – bassinets are designed for newborns up to three months old, while larger options are available for children up to five years old.
Can a baby sleep in a travel cot every night?
It’s not recommended to use a travel cot regularly for a long period of time, as they’re not designed to support your baby’s development. Instead, limit their use for short trips away and daytime naps.
What to look for when buying a travel cot
You already have enough to think about while travelling with your baby, so the best cots are hassle-free. They should be easy to assemble, collapse and store, while the addition of wheels and a carry bag should make cots easier to transport from A to B. If you’re shopping for a newborn up to three months old, a bassinet is the way to go – these are raised, to give you a clearer view of your little one during the night, while you can lift them up without the risk of throwing out your back.
Do travel cots need a mattress?
Yes – the cots themselves are thin and hard, so a mattress is essential, though most of our top picks come with a mattress included.
The verdict: Travel cots
The Graco foldlite is excellent value for a lightweight cot that’s easy to erect and collapse, and we felt both our seven-month-old and two-year-old testers were safe in there. It will grow with your child, and provide a secure place to sleep and play for up to three years.
The BabyBjörn travel cot light also deserves praise for ease of setup and for the comfort of its mattress, while the Mamas & Papas joie commuter travel cot solves three of a baby’s needs – sleep, play and hygiene – in one neat package.

Best travel cot 2023: lightweight cots for travel
Attempting travel with a baby? The best travel cot will make sure you’re suitably armed, and they’re suitably snuggly
The best travel cot? Be honest, it’s something you didn’t even know existed until you became a parent and had to take a trip. Do you have to travel with a bed for your baby? Well, yes, you do, they're just as essential as the best car seats and best suitcases , and luckily there are so many incredible new designs that hitting the road with your littlest is that little bit easier.
We give you the travel cot, the portable crib, and the basket bed … here are all the latest and the best products on the market which allow you to travel light even though you’re now packing an extra person.
How to buy the best travel cot
Why you can trust T3 Our expert reviewers spend hours testing and comparing products and services so you can choose the best for you. Find out more about how we test .
First off, you might be surprised to find out that travel cots aren’t just for travel. If you’re stuck for space at home, regularly splitting time between two places, want a safe place to keep them corralled while you pop off for a second (see above), or like to have a spare for friends’ babies when they pop round for a coffee (the friend, that is, not the baby), a travel cot is a sensible solution.
But when it does come to travel, having your own portable cot means that you needn’t worry about whether that Airbnb has all the necessaries or that hotel webpage is up to date, and it also gives baby a familiar place to sleep, eliminating one more reason for them to get lairy while you’re on the road.
And it’s what you’ll be using it for that’ll mostly dictate the type of travel crib you want.
Compact foldable cots or bassinets are best for chucking in a suitcase or luggage locker on the plane, while trips by car simply call for something that can fit in the boot. The more lightweight they are, the more you might question the fact that they’re deemed suitably sturdy for a human child, but between rigorous manufacturer testing and great reviews across the board, you can rest assured each of our picks will keep them safe as houses, even if you’re a long way away from yours.
You might be wondering if travel cots are safe to sleep in? The answer is yes, as long as you buy the right one and your child doesn't sleep in it all the time. Read our guide linked above for more information on travel cot safety.
Finally, for maximum mileage when it comes to the initial spend, look for a model that comes with an included mattress, adjustable levels for rapidly growing babes, and more.
The best travel cots you can buy today:
1. Micralite Sleep&Go Travel Cot
Our expert review:
Specifications
Reasons to buy, reasons to avoid.
The Sleep&Go Travel Cot is a well-designed piece of kit that hopes to make travelling with little ones a breeze. It sets itself apart from rivals by being adaptable: it's a travel cot one minute, playpen the next, and can even transform into a newborn co-sleeper. Perhaps best of all, it's able to transform between these functions in seconds thanks to its innovative all-in-one frame.
It lets itself down slightly with the lack of colour options, and the fact that it's not the smallest when folded.
With an RRP of £150, it sits firmly in the upper-mid-range price category, but it's durable materials, solid build, and innovative features mean it more than earns its place at the top of our list.
- Micralite Sleep&Go Travel Cot review
2. BabyBjorn Travel Cot Light
Praise be to Björn Jakobson, granddaddy of all things baby-related — his brainchild BabyBjorn still leads the pack when it comes to travel cots, with this one getting our second spot for its practical, paediatrician-approved design. The foldable travel cot packs down into a neat carry case with padded shoulder straps and a waist belt for easy transportation, and we love how compact it is, not to mention easy to set up, which is a real bonus when there’s unpacking to be done.
The mattress has been designed in conjunction with paediatric specialists to provide the best support possible, but the only problem is that it’s at floor level, so if you have shorter arms, bear in mind it might take some effort, or the help of a taller family member.
3. Nuna SENA Aire
The thing about parenthood is that you always have your hands full, and when it comes to travelling with kids, that goes double. So welcome the SENA Aire, a thoughtfully designed travel cot from premium baby gear brand Nuna that can be set-up not only quickly, but with one hand. Its zigzag legs pop-up instantly, and come with padded edges so you cannot trap you finger in a hinge while you’re seeing it up.
However, the SENA Aire’s main USP is what its name suggests; an advanced air design delivers maximum airflow that will give its inhabitant deeper sleeps. That’s the theory. Elsewhere, the SENA Aire gives the travelling parents everything they need, including a mattress, sheets, an insect net and even cotton sheets. Best of all, it’s all machine washable, and goes neatly into a travel bag.
4. Inovi Cocoon Folding Moses
Here’s one for youngsters taking their first flights. Suitable for the under six months crowd, this simple crib won’t be with you for long, but it’s sure to impress any parent thinking of taking a flight to show-off their new addition. A simple and nice-looking crib that could easily be used at home, the Cocoon is compact and lightweight enough for travel, even complying with international aviation standards (IATA) so it can be taken on a plane as hand luggage, and stowed in overhead locker compartments (minus junior, we hope).
It also includes a mesh canopy that protects baby from the outside world – including insects, pets and curious passers-by – while being itself constructed atom transparent, breathable mesh panels. The Cocoon is also easy to set-up, with four locking joints on its fold-out base for maximum stability.
5. Phil & Teds Traveller Travel Cot
Like the BabyBjorn travel cot, this Phil & Teds option is suitable for use from birth to three years, making it a good option if you’re after a longer-term solution. The big difference between the two is that this little number is more suited to long-haul travel, with a weight of just 3.2 kilograms and an ultra-compact design that’s formulated to fit in a suitcase, luggage locker, or even the storage space of your buggy.
Reviewers found it was a bit awkward to set up, but that it was light, sturdy and comfy enough to make up for it, so we reckon it sounds just fine if you’re setting up camp for a while.
6. SpaceCot Travel Cot
If the combination of quick setup and sturdiness is the holy grail of travel cots, then call us Indiana Jones, because we seem to have found it in the SpaceCot Travel Cot. The makers say it opens and closes in just three seconds — a big boast, but reviewers vouch for its veracity.
They found it super easy to set up, and loved the included detachable crib levels and mattress that let it work as a cot up to six months, and a playpen up to 30 months. If you frequently find yourself with your hands too full for faffing around, all signs point to this easy-up cot being a good buy.
7. LittleLife Arc 2
OK, it’s a tent. Get over it. Kids love camping! Seriously though, the tent-style Arc 2 has a lot going for it, especially if you travel a lot because (and this is a stroke of genius) the Arc 2 packs-up into a small lightweight backpack. A pop-up tent weighing a mere 2.5kg, it uses colour-coded, lightweight aluminium poles and comes with a Velcro-attached foam mattress and washable cotton cover.
Although it can be used indoors perfectly well, as its design suggests, the Arc 2 can also be used outdoors, and be secured with tent pegs. It works as a bed, a playpen, and just as a place to keep a child out of the sun. If you’re an outdoorsy kind of a family, the Arc 2 is a no-brainer.
8. Pop Up Bassinet Koo-Di
Designed for use in the house or out in the garden, at the beach or for trips somewhere rather sunnier, the Koo-Di Sun and Sleep Travel Bassinet looks to be a versatile option for keeping the smallest member of your group happy, cool, and out of the sun.
The mesh sides are intended for ventilation and peace of mind, allowing you to check on them as they (hopefully) snooze, while the integrated zip-up mosquito net keeps nibbles at bay, and the blackout blind claims to block 93 percent of all harmful rays. That’s all pretty high tech for a travel cot, making it our best bet for travel abroad and hot summer days at home.
9. Chicco Lullago Zip Crib
This expandable travel crib gives the option for different depths as they grow, giving it more lasting power than some of our smaller picks, and making it, according to happy reviewers, a great transitional cot. Users loved that it was sturdy and easy to put together, but found it a bit heavy to carry — although, while the travel bag is a bit more cumbersome than its BabyBjorn equivalent, some might appreciate that it looks more like your average minimal tote bag rather than a baby-specific behemoth.
Overall, it’s agreed that the quality is top-notch and the setup simple, but if you have to travel a long way, you might be better placed going for something like Phil & Ted’s travel cot.
10. Joie Excursion Change & Rock Travel Cot0
Trying to get them off to sleep isn’t the only thing that can prove tricky on the road - there’s also the small matter of changing to attend to. Luckily, some clever clogs at Joie has made a travel cot that doubles up as a changing table. Actually, make that triples up, because it also packs in a soothing rocker with soft toys. And it has wheels!
With a draught-resistant base and mesh lining for a comfortable sleep, a rocker/bassinet for soothing and naps, and a changing table for you-know-what, reviewers agree this is a great portable option for when you want to streamline your stuff. Just be aware that it’s very large and very heavy, so it’s not the best for small cars and certainly won’t fit in a suitcase, but gosh darn is it versatile.

Comparative review: the best travel cots for your holidays
“ Sleeping like a baby”, we all have heard this expression before, and yet, it is easier said than done… Unless you choose the right bed! Read our professional mum advice and find the travel cot that will meet your criteria, for evermore relaxing holidays in family.
The right questions for the right answers
“ How to efficiently choose your travel cot ?”
Baby’s comfort is the obvious main priority. Yet, the practical aspect of your travel cot must be taken into account. You would go for a model that unfolds easily (in order not to fight with it), that does not take too much space and that would be light enough . Some travel cots come equipped storing spaces, changing tables or wheels, while others can serve as a secured play area during your trips (much like a portable baby park) or even with a zip opening, so your child can exit or enter his travel cot by himself, depending on his age.
“ What about the mattress?”
Most of the mattresses sold together with the travel cots are of a poor quality , as they often are too thin and cannot assure a sleeping comfort for your child. If you plan on buying a separate mattress, never forget to choose one that is specifically conceived for travel cots, for practical matters on one hand, but also for safety on the other. Indeed, while foam mattresses are the most sought after, know that some made with “ breathable ” fabric avoid the accumulation of heat and dampness.
Before leaving, make sure to carry a mattress protection along, but also fitted sheets (preferably made of organic cotton), a sleeping bag (very useful to prevent the young climbers to venture over the walls of their cot), and most importantly, never forget the little teddy !
As Magali says, “ I usually use a cushion or a rolled towel under the mattress, so baby’s head is always slightly inclined. A very useful trick to spare some space in the suitcases! ”
“ Is there a maximum age to sleep in a travel cot?”
Most of the folding travel cots are designed for children aged up to 3 years old . However, a few brands prefer to indicate a maximum weight instead of a maximum age, as the baby’s weight will be a key factor . In fact, your choice may be influenced by how comfortable your child feels in the travel cot, but also by his or her behaviour altogether: the criteria won’t be the same for an aspiring baby stuntman and a sleeping beauty!
“ How to clean a travel cot?”
Did you notice how babies love to slide their fingers between the mattress and the cot’s nets? Or how they enjoy press their head against the softer sides? We know, this is really cute. Cute until they do so after eating chocolate! In order to “refresh” baby’s travel bedding, clean it with a toilet glove rubbed onto solid soap, and let it dry in the open air . Otherwise, you can use a steam cleaner , which apart from cleaning efficiently will kill the dust mites and bacteria that would be living inside baby’s portable cot!
The best travel cots, upon parents’ advice
1. Bugaboo – Stardust (heather black or grey)
Mister Sandman now has some serious opponent against him! The Bugaboo Stardust is a genuine revolution : it unfolds in only one second , with an all-in-one conception and an integrated mattress. These very cosy travel cots fold back into a stylish cover.
Age : up to 2 years old
Price : 249€

2. Maxi Cosi – Swift 3-in-1 Travel Cot
At home or travelling, the Maxi Cosi Swift 3-in-1 can be used as a cradle, a child bed or a baby park. We personally appreciate its elegance and the wood finish.
Age : up to 3 years old

3. AeroMoov – Travel Cot – Travel Instant Giraph Sky
With its very cute giraffe prints, this travel cot by Aeromoov perfectly suits the newborn needs thanks to the sleeping position that can be adjusted on 2 different levels , so baby can sleep everywhere just as if he were sleeping at home (and his back is protected)! In addition, it fits in the smallest of the car trunks with its strapped storing sack.
Weight limit : 15 kg maximum
Price : 179€
Buy it here ! (Note: available and delivered only in Belgium)
4. BabyBjörn – Travel Cot Light (silver or black)
As the name suggests, the advantage of the Travel Cot Light by BabyBjörn is its very light weight ! Plus, its ingenious conception: folding and unfolding it is a sleight-of-hand! Its ergonomic form gives it a very good stability and the soft mattress is the guarantee for your child of quality sleep . The parents specifically appreciate the fabric, easily removable, that can be washed in the washing machine.
Age : up until 4 years old

Buy it here ! (Note: available and delivered only in Belgium, France and Luxembourg)
5. Babymoov – Travel cot “Naos”

Whether it is for an afternoon at your friends’ house, a picnic, holidays, baby will always tightly sleep thanks to his memory-foam mattress! One bonus point: the micro-ventilated mattress sheet can go in the washing machine ! And it is not over, as Naos can also turn into an evolutive play area ! With a UV-proof roof and a wide “tent” zip opening, it transforms into a tiny hut where baby can have lots of fun!
Age : Up to 5 years old
Price : 149,99€
Buy it here ! (Note: available and delivered only in Belgium, France, Luxembourg and Netherlands)
6. Aubert Concept – Cododo cradle (grey)
For the mothers who breastfeed, the Cododo cradle is the ideal combination between bed sharing (co-sleeping) and security!

Age : from birth to 6 months old
Price : 179,90€
Buy it here ! (Note: available and delivered only in Belgium, France and Switzerland)
7. Vertbaudet – Foldable travel cot Mobi’bed (grey or dark blue)
Very practical, the Mobi’bed travel cot has many assets: a wide storing pouch , wheels, to move it easily, and it can be used as a changing table thanks to its adaptable board.
Price : 136,99€
8. Oxybul – Pop-up Cradle Dodo Nomade
And what about the little travellers who still wear diapers? The travel cot Pop-up Dodo Nomade is one of the easiest to transport travel cot among all. A featherweight and the size of a handbag once it is folded back into its cover, it can be taken literally everywhere! Inspired by the tents that unfold by themselves, it is very practical for the little ones who still learn to stand on all four.
Age : until baby can sit by himself
Price : 49,99€
Buy it here ! (Note: available and delivered only in France)
Bonus tip from a professional mum:
Your child is now too tall for a travel cot, yet you’re afraid that he may fall from a conventional bed? Don’t forget your bed barriers when leaving for vacation (and the inflatable ones are even better)! An amazing invention for the children that tend to move a lot while sleeping.
The Shrunks – 28,95€

- It is not always easy to be on the move with your little one during holidays: play it smart, and get yourself a travel stroller !

8 Best Travel Cots for Babies and Toddlers
We independently research our recommended products. We may receive commissions on purchases made from our links .
When you’re travelling overnight with a toddler, a good travel cot is your best friend.
We all know the chaos that’s caused when your little one refuses to sleep or doesn’t get their normal number of hours.
Some sleep disruption should be expected when you’re sleeping somewhere new (for both you and your child!) but you can minimise this by providing them with a comfortable, safe and familiar place to sleep — i.e. the best travel cot.
As with all things baby related, there are a huge number of travel cots on the market and it can be overwhelming to choose the best one for your circumstances.
We’ve compiled this guide to the best travel cots – including all the things you need to consider before buying, as well as the best products on the market right now.
Let’s get into it…
Graco Compact Travel Cot
Extra features, how much to spend on a toddler travel cot, what are the best travel cots, venture airpod.
The Venture Airpod has long been one of our number one picks for the best travel cot for toddlers.
It’s a dead ringer for the (much more expensive) BabyBjörn cot, feels sturdy and is really easy to assemble — an absolutely essential quality when you’re travelling with little ones. It folds down very compactly so is a good pick if you’re low on space or on public transport. It’s suitable for kids up to 36 months so should serve you well for a long time.
Why We Chose It
- Nicely lightweight, compact and portable
- Looks very similar to the BabyBjörn, at a fraction of the price!
- Comes with a quality mattress and strong carry bag
- Easy to assemble and take down
- Feels sturdy and high quality
- Excellent price
- Stylish design (designed in the UK!)
Potential Cons to Consider
- If we’re being super picky, the fact that the cover isn’t machine washable
Maxi-Cosi Iris
Maxi-Cosi is a prestige brand when it comes to baby and child equipment, and this travel cot really lives up to their reputation.
Is it expensive? Yes, but it’s worth the cost if your budget allows. It’s very lightweight, comes with a high quality mattress and has the brilliant feature of offering two different height-adjustable levels — a bassinet level for newborns and young babies, and the full depth for older kids up to age 3. It’s easy to take up and down and even comes with a stylish travel bag for maximum portability.
- Contains two height-adjustable levels — a top one for newborns and a lower one for toddlers (great for recent c-section mums who can’t bend down too far!)
- Really lightweight and portable
- Very easy to set up and take down
- High quality mattress included
- Comes with a carry bag for extra portability
- Feels very sturdy and durable despite light weight
- Stylish design
Potential Con to Consideer
- A little expensive (although worth the investment if your budget allows)
Micralite Sleep and Go
The Micralite is another much-loved toddler travel cot that offers a lot in the way of features (although does come with a higher price tag).
Like the Maxi-Cosi, it has the two different height levels and comes with a good mattress and a travel bag. One of the things we really like about it is that it can be transformed into a playpen for toddlers and even has padded sides so they won’t get hurt if they’re bouncing around! It’s not quite as lightweight as some of the others on this list but still folds down to a compact size.
- Two different height levels for newborns and toddlers
- Transforms into a playpen with a zipped side panel
- Heavily padded frame to protect overzealous toddlers!
- Easy to set up and take down
- Folds down reasonably compactly to fit in a car boot
- Comes with a quality mattress
- With newborn insert, can be used as a side sleeping crib
- Comes with a travel bag for portability
- Sturdy and durable
- Not super lightweight or compact
Red Kite Sleep Tight Travel Cot
The Red Kite Sleep Tight is one of our favourite budget travel cots.
It’s easy to assemble, folds down neatly and feels very sturdy to touch. It also comes with its own travel bag for transportation. At just over 7kg, it’s not the most lightweight cot and the included mattress isn’t of the best quality in our opinion — we’d definitely recommend buying another one if you can as fussy sleepers may not find it the most comfortable sleeping position.
- Great budget price
- Easy to assemble and fold up
- Comes with a mattress and carry bag
- Reasonably compact when folded down
- Large mesh ‘windows’ allowing you and your child a good view!
- Feels very sturdy and stable
- The included mattress doesn’t seem comfortable – we’d recommend investing in another one if you can
- Not particularly lightweight
Nuna SENA Aire
Nuna have made a name for themselves as a really high quality baby brand and the SENA Aire travel cot very much lives up to the hype.
You can take it up and down with just one hand, which is absolutely invaluable for parents and carers dealing with toddlers! It’s got dual height levels, comes with a quality mattress and boasts very good air flow — this definitely feels like one of the best travel cots you can buy right now. But on the flipside, it’s very expensive and really quite heavy at almost 10kg.
- Super easy to set up and take down — with just one hand!
- Quality mattress included
- Very sturdy and durable
- Excellent air flow and ventilation
- 2 height levels for newborns and toddlers
- Feels spacious
- A lot heavier than the other cots on this list
- Quite expensive
Hauck Dream’n Play
One of the most popular and budget friendly toddler travel cots is this Dream’n Play from Hauck.
It feels very similar to the slightly cheaper Red Kite — easy to assemble, feels sturdy and folds up somewhat compactly. Much like the Red Kite, we’d recommend investing in another mattress as the one that’s included doesn’t feel particularly comfortable.
- Comes with a folding mattress and carry bag
- Reasonably compact – will be fine if you’re transporting it in your car
- Large mesh ‘windows’ give you a good view of your child and allow them to see out
- Feels durable and sturdy
- A few different colour options
- It’s worth investing in another cot mattress as the one included doesn’t feel comfortable
- Not the most lightweight option available
BabyBjörn Travel Cot Light
BabyBjörn is probably the best known brand when it comes to travel cots and, for many parents, remains the best on the market thanks to its prestigious reputation.
Lightweight, stable and durable with a quality mattress, this is definitely one of the highest quality toddler travel cots we tried. It also looks really good so is definitely a good choice if you’re conscious of the aesthetics! It’s not perfect though — alongside being expensive, we found it could potentially be a little draughty in certain conditions as it mounts directly onto the floor.
- Really easy to set up and take down (no loose parts)
- Lightweight so highly portable
- Comfortable and safe mattress included
- Soft sheet also included
- Some airlines will accept it as a carry-on in the included carry case
- Highly durable — even with mischievous toddlers!
- Feels very stable despite the lightweight
- Mattress cover can be machine washed
- No weight limit – suitable until your toddler is able to climb out (around 3 years)
- It’s expensive
- It mounts directly onto the floor so please consider suitable sleepwear for your toddler according to the floor temperature
- The sides are high — great for keeping your toddler in but parents on the shorter side/mums still recovering from a c-section should bear in mind it’s a long way to bend down!
The Graco travel cot is another good low-budget choice that would also work as a playpen due to its spacious feel and transparent mesh sides.
It has a push-button fold that makes it easy to put up and bring down and feels very sturdy and stable on the ground. Although it folds down well, it is on the heavier side at almost 9 kg and the included carry bag doesn’t have a handle for some reason, which makes it a little hard to lug around. The mattress has a folding mechanism which, while great for space efficiency, isn’t the most comfortable.
- Excellent low price
- Easy push-button fold to assemble and fold down
- Very sturdy and stable
- Feels spacious and would work as a playpen
- Folds down reasonably compactly in a car boot
- Large mesh ‘windows’ provide great views for you and your child!
- Heavy compared to most of the other cots on the list
- Unfortunately there’s no handle on the carry bag which makes it an awkward carry
- The included folding mattress is a little uncomfortable – we’d recommend getting another one if your budget allows
How to Choose
Do you actually need a toddler travel cot.
As you can see, toddler travel cots vary hugely in price but some of them can be a real investment, depending on your budget.
If you’ve had a quick glance at Amazon and furrowed your brow at some of the prices, you might be thinking, ‘ Do I even need one?’
The answer could well be ‘no’.
Travel cots are mostly used for, well, travelling.
But most mid-range and above hotels and holiday rentals already come equipped with a cot for your little one, so if you’re only intending to use it for holiday travel then it might be worth checking if the types of places your family usually stays at already has one available. Chances are, they do.
But if you often stay over in people’s homes or if Granny and Grandad have the kids to stay occasionally, then a travel cot will most definitely come in handy.
Where a mattress on the floor might provide a simple place to sleep for your toddler when they’re away from their bed, it doesn’t do much else.
A good travel cot, on the other hand, will be safe and inviting for your little one to fall asleep in and will keep them contained.
Very important when they’re staying somewhere new…
They can even function as a playpen — or a little den for your toddler to play by themselves.
What to Look for in a Travel Cot
If you’ve decided that your family will benefit from owning a travel cot, then there are a few things worth considering before you buy.
There are 3 key things that make for the best travel cots:
Weight and Footprint
Ease of use.
The number one thing that most parents are looking for in a travel cot are that it’s lightweight and compact.
The smaller and lighter the cot, the easier it is to carry around and store.
If you wanted a large and heavy cot, you’d just buy a normal cot instead, right?
Exactly how light and compact will depend on your circumstances.
Some people are simply happy with a product that can easily fit in the car boot and isn’t too heavy to carry to the front door. Others want something truly lightweight and compact that can be taken on a plane or carried around easily on the bus. Size is important, especially if you’re carrying a pushchair too !
If weight is really important to you, take a look at the Maxi-Cosi Iris, Venture Airpod and BabyBjörn Light above.
When we say ‘ease of use’, we mean how easy it is to assemble, pop up and then collapse down again.
The easier and quicker the better — especially when you’ve got a wriggling toddler to put down or even a screaming newborn.
And if the travel cot is destined to be at Granny and Grandad’s house, you want one that’s simple enough for them to be able to work out too.
All the cots in our list score highly on the ease of use metric, although the Maxi-Cosi Iris, Graco Compact, BabyBjörn Light and Nuna SENA Aire are leading the pack. The Nuna can even all be done with one hand!
Another major feature to look for in a travel cot is durability — you want it to last well.
The cots on our list are all suitable to be used until around 3 years of age/15 kg/when they decide they want to climb out of it, which is a good lifespan for such a product.
If you decide to go for a super budget version or one that isn’t well made, you might find that the cot doesn’t reach that point and you’ll need to replace it before your toddler has outgrown it.
It can be hard to judge durability when you’re buying online, so look out for reviews that reference how sturdy and stable the cot is, the quality of the brand you’re buying, and just generally how other users have found it.
Less important than the big 3 factors above but still worth noting are what little extras are provided with your travel cot.
Generally speaking, the more you spend, the more features you’ll get.
They might not all be useful for your circumstances, however, so don’t feel like you have to spend a lot if you’d be satisfied with less.
- A bassinet insert/height adjustability depending on your child’s size and age
- Good ventilation and airflow
- Machine washable covers
- A great mattress
- A handy travel bag
How much to spend on a travel cot will entirely depend on your family’s circumstances — budget, what you’re looking for in a cot, and just generally how much you want to spend.
There’s no right answer here.
A good starting point for determining your budget is to decide how much you’re likely to use a travel cot and what you need from it.
If you’re planning on your toddler using it multiple times per month at your parents’ house, for instance, you’ll probably want to invest in something that you know your kid will love and your parents will be able to use easily.
But if you’re buying a cot for only occasional or sporadic use, you probably don’t want to spend a lot — maybe the Red Kite or Graco Compact will be a better fit at well under £50.
As we mentioned earlier, the more you spend, the more you can usually expect in terms of features. Similarly, the big luxury brands (BabyBjörn and Nuna) are inevitably more expensive than the midmarket ones on the list.
Regardless of how much you have and want to spend, however, we’re certain you’ll be satisfied with the travel cots on our list.
Let us know which ones are your favourites!

Best travel cots: tried and tested
Whether used at home, at the grandparents' or as a playpen, a travel cot can be a familiar place for your baby to sleep, wherever they are. After rigorous research and testing, we reveal the best travel cots to buy in 2024.
By Poppy O'Neill | Last updated Apr 22, 2024
While you may have dedicated a lot of time to finding the best crib , moses basket or cot bed for your child, we tend to give less thought to which travel cot to buy. But getting the best sleep possible is just as important while you're away from home, so we've put some of the best travel cots on the market through their paces.
While they're mainly used for overnight stays at a grandparent's house, or longer holidays, travel cots can also be used instead of a traditional crib or playpen for both babies and toddlers. They are portable, easy to carry, fit in your car boot and should be fairly lightweight too. Pack your travel cot along with a baby monitor and your little one's best baby blanket and you're good to go.
Our parent tester, Ruth, and her 18-month-old put some of the UK's top-rated travel cots through their paces. We also turned to the Mumsnet forums - home of the UK's largest network of parents - to seek out authentic recommendations and honest reviews of the travel cots they'd used with their own children. Referring to expert review sites for extra information, we collated all the information to bring you our top picks, of the best travel cots 2024.

Tried and tested by Mumsnet: Read our full Joie kubbie™ Sleep review
The Joie kubbie™ Sleep is a real steal and a brilliant choice for new parents who want something that covers all bases - that's why we've named it our best travel cot overall for 2024. Versatile in style and cocoon-like in the way it nurtures and grows with newborns, the kubbie™ Sleep also comes with a bassinet that can easily be attached and detached.
A unique feature of the kubbie™ Sleep that our tester was impressed by is that when your baby is in the bassinet, you can tuck the cot close to your bed and adjust the height of the crib so that it acts like a co-sleeper. It's a lovely feature if you're travelling with a tiny baby, it provides extra peace of mind and easy access for changing and breastfeeding .
Great for parents who
Have a newborn
Like the idea of a co-sleeper and want to keep their baby close during the night
Want a cot that can last up to three years old

Red Kite Sleeptight Travel Cot
Lightweight and folds down compactly into a travel bag
Quick to assemble and fold away
Easy to clean
Mesh sides make it easy to see baby
The mattress is thinner than some other baby travel cot mattresses on the market, such as the Joie kubbie™ Sleep
Doesn't have wheels
Price on writing: £37 | Suitable from: Birth to three years (or able to climb out) | Weight: 8.5 kg
Tried and tested by Mumsnet : Read our full Red Kite Sleeptight Travel Cot review .
Robust and simple in design, the Red Kite Sleeptight Travel Cot is a basic, practical travel cot that you'll be glad to have for the odd night away from home with your little one. With breathable mesh on four sides, a carry bag and padding over the poles and edges, it's got everything you need for a safe night's sleep - or a handy play pen.
Mumsnetters say the mattress could be thicker and better quality, which is often the case with cheaper travel cots. If you're looking for a separate mattress, this one from Mother Nurture fits the Red Kite perfectly and folds up for extra practicality while on-the-go.

Lightweight and easy to fold up and down
Collapses to just 26 cm wide
Comes with a removable infant bassinet
2 wheels for easy manoeuvring
The mattress could be thicker
Price on writing: £80 | Suitable from: Birth to three years (or able to climb out) | Weight: 6.78 kg
With two ways to fold, the Graco FoldLite LX is a brilliant cot for frequent use. The quick fold is designed for speed, while 'Home Fold' is ultra-thin at just 26cm wide - perfect for storing away at home.
We love the two-wheel design that makes the cot easy to drag around, and it's not bad to look at either. The base is one of the lowest to the ground on our list, making it a good option for using as a playpen. It also comes with a removable infant bassinet for smaller babies.
Graco are well-loved by Mumsnetters thanks to their good-quality, affordable baby gear, and this travel cot is no exception.

Price on writing: £110 | Suitable from: Birth to three years (15kg), but we'd recommend it for toddlers | Weight: 2.5kg
Tried and tested by Mumsnet: Read our full LittleLife Arc 2 review
The LittleLife Arc 2 is extremely lightweight (practically featherweight, really, at just 2.5kg), is designed just like a tent and can be folded down compactly to fit into a backpack, which comes with it. This makes it perfect for use on public transport, holidays and camping.
It works just as well outdoors as it does indoors and is great for those grab-and-go moments. Our tester really liked its tent-like design - close to the floor means there's no risk of kids falling out and the cosier sleeping space makes it ideal for younger babies. She was also impressed by the mosquito net - perfect for travel wherever you're headed.

BabyBjörn Travel Cot Light
Durable construction
Very comfy mattress
Mattress and fabric is removable and machine-washable
Mattress is fairly close to the floor – one side can be unzipped for easy access though
It’s one of the more expensive cots around
Price on writing: £220 | Suitable from: Birth to three years | Weight: 6kg (including carry bag)
Tried and tested by Mumsnet: Read our full BabyBjorn Light review
If you have a little extra to spend, then the luxury and comfort of BabyBjörn's Light will make sleepovers fuss-free no matter where you go. Our tester found it sturdy, simple to set-up and really easy to transport. The mattress is considerably more comfy than those you'll find in cheaper travel cots, and all the fabric parts are removable and machine washable.
The main drawback is the price tag, but if you have the means, then this cot won't let you down.

Joie Commuter Change
Two wheels make this cot easy to move around
Easy to fold and unfold
Bassinet and changing unit don’t fit into carry bag
Side of the cot can’t be pulled down like the new Joie kubbie™ Sleep
Price on writing: £100 | Suitable from: Birth to 15kg | Weight: 12.3kg
Tried and tested by Mumsnet: Read our full Joie Commuter Change review
Winner of the Mumsnet Best Travel Cot 2018 award, the Joie Commuter Change didn’t quite make our top five this year, but it’s still a great product and definitely worth considering.
Our tester loved all the added extras that come with the Commuter Change. Not only is there a full-size bassinet, which will save your back when reaching down to your child, but the cot also comes with a changing table which handily clips onto the top.

Bugaboo Stardust
Great quality mattress
Takes just one second to unfold and three seconds to fold
Can be folded with the mattress left in
Carrycot insert for newborns
On the expensive side
Only suitable up to 2 years
Price on writing: £225 | Suitable from: Birth to two years | Weight: 6.7kg
For those considering a travel cot to use from birth, the Bugaboo Stardust is a great option. It comes with a carrycot insert which means the cot can be used as a bedside crib - perfect for co-sleeping away from home.
It has a height-adjustable mattress and an incredibly easy fold up and down. When folded up, the travel cot is nice and slim, making for easy storage. The mattress is great quality and thicker than the others on our list. At just over £200, it's on the premium end of the spectrum, and the manufacturer recommends only using it up to 2 years, so it doesn't have quite the longevity of most other travel cots, which generally can be used until the age of three.

Travel cots: our pick of the best of the rest
Sturdy but pricey.
We have the Nuna Sena and its amazing, the most hassle-free assembling I've seen having watched BIL trying to get his cheap and cheerful one up! You just push the ring in the middle. It looks great and my kids have both slept great in it when we're away. Also sturdy enough to double as a temporary living room playpen for a while too! Has definitely been one of my highly recommended baby items.

Nuna Sena Aire
Best travel cot for use as a playpen
Quite a while ago now we bought a BabyDan one from John Lewis which is the same dimensions as a standard cot (not cot bed). Extra handy as we could also use the actual cot mattress in it for extra comfort if we had space in the car, or latterly when we had got rid of the cot but had friends or relatives to stay

BabyDan Travel Cot
Best travel cot for air travel
I've been to many different countries on different planes, trains and automobiles and the Phil & Teds is the only one which works across various check in requirements and ages of children ...100% [would recommend] the P&T one if you actually intend travelling with it, as opposed to staying at Granny's place every now and again.

Phil & Teds Traveller Travel Crib
What age is a travel cot for?
This type of cot is usually used from the newborn stage up until toddlerhood – or until the little wriggler can climb out by themselves.
Do I actually need a one?
The short answer is: no, not necessarily, but that depends entirely on your lifestyle.
Portable beds can be expensive and can take up unnecessary space in an otherwise baby-filled home, so if you think you'll only get use out of one for two weeks of the year, then you could probably do without.
If you already have a co-sleeper, Moses basket or carrycot that you use with a travel system , you might be able to use that when you're away from home with a smaller baby.
If, however, you tend to travel often or think your little one will have regular sleepovers with the grandparents, then a travel cot is a great solution.
It'll not only be easier to cart around, but it'll offer a familiar and comforting environment for your child no matter where they rest their head.
Are travel cots safe?
Safety is crucial when buying a travel bed for your little one so, while all products should have some sort of testing certification, be sure to check the safety features out yourself.
If you plan to buy in-store, ask to see it being assembled
Check how sturdy it is – could it withstand being knocked into?
Look for safety locks on wheels if there are any – can they also be tucked away when not in use?
Choking hazards are also something to look out for so make sure that small parts, like zips, are well covered
Check for sharp corners and padded rails
Assess whether your child would be able to climb out easily – check that the side panels are high enough
Safe sleeping and travel cot mattresses
The Lullaby Trust says that all cots need to comply with British Standards Institution (BSI) safety standards regardless of how old they are. If there is no safety standard number visible then you shouldn't buy it.
When it comes to safe sleeping, they also insist that the bed's original mattress needs to be firm, entirely flat and waterproof with no soft or cushioned areas, particularly around the baby's head. Babies should be placed on their backs with their feet at the foot of the cot.
Soft mattresses are known to increase the risk of SIDS as they make it harder for babies to lose body heat, which can cause them to become too hot.
Sleep positioners and pillows must not be used and there should also be no loose or bulky bedding inside the crib as this can cause a baby to overheat.
Even if the mattress feels thin, don't be tempted to place folded blankets underneath your child. Go for a baby sleeping bag or a well-fitted swaddle instead.
The Lullaby Trust also advise that portable cribs aren’t placed against radiators and remain out of reach of blind cords.
How much does a travel cot cost?
Prices range from £20 to over £200, and your budget will probably depend entirely on how much you think you'll use it.
As with anything, the most expensive option won't necessarily be best suited to you and your child. Some cheaper models may do just the trick and will last well into the toddler years too.
Can I buy one secondhand?
Yes, you can, but make sure you always follow the manufacturer's instructions before using.
Make sure it isn’t damaged or broken, that the frame is intact and that there aren’t any sharp edges that could cause injury. If possible, ask to assemble and fold it down before you buy to check it works as it should.
Secondhand travel cots can go from anywhere between £10 and £80.
Other things to consider when buying a travel cot
1. portability.
Check the size and weight. Can it be folded down compactly? Is it likely to fit into the boot of your car?
If you tend to travel by public transport, you'll want a bed that's lightweight and easy to carry. For planes, some small cots may even be able to fit into an overhead locker.
2. Assembly and storage
By nature, travel beds are usually easy to put up and fold down. Pop-ups are, of course, the easiest, but check to see if your chosen product is quick to assemble, fold and pack away.
When it comes to storage, the amount of space you have at home will influence your decision.
Some models have mattresses that fold with the frame before they go into a bag, and most will fit into the back of a cupboard or under a bed when stored away.
3. How to clean
Babies create mess – and a lot of it too. Look for a removable mattress that comes with a fitted sheet, which you will be able to stick in the washing machine.
Some cots have removable side panels, but if they don’t then you can always wipe them clean with warm water.
4. Extra features
Many larger models double up as a playpen which is great for keeping your child safe at all times no matter where they are. Some even come with changing tables, mobiles and bassinets for newborns.
You’ll find that the added extras will usually need to be carried separately once the frame is folded down. Brands that offer attachments like these include Joie (the Joie Commuter Change won Mumsnet Best Travel Cot 2018), BabyBjorn and Graco.
Some, like the Arc 2, also come with added extras like built-in mosquito nets for camping.
What's the best travel cot to buy?
The Joie kubbie Sleep is the best travel cot to buy in 2024. Mumsnetters love that it doubles as a co-sleeper, making it a versatile, useful and great value buy. The compact design makes it easy to transport and set up, while the bedside feature allows for easy access to your baby during the night. Overall, the Joie Baby Kubbie Sleep Bedside Travel Cot is a great choice for parents looking for a safe and comfortable sleep solution for their little one.
How we tested and why you should trust us
For continuity, we try to get one tester to test all the products in a single category. This reduces any potential variables during the testing process and ensures that our results are based on like-for-like comparisons. After approximately 24 hours of research, our tester, Ruth, produced a shortlist of 14 cots to put to the test. The list included the most highly recommended cots by Mumsnet users and other review sites, plus a wide range of designs and price tags, from nifty pop-ups to more studier models akin to traditional cribs.
Each product was tested in rooms with both carpet and laminate flooring, then scored on six key areas:
Safety and stability
Comfort and day-to-day use, cleanliness, value for money.
Five products were then awarded a Mumsnet Best badge – these are the products that we feel offer the absolute best value for most parents. We also gave honourable mentions to four others.
Ruth scored each product based on each criteria below, with the highest scoring coming out on top as the overall winner. Honourable mentions were then given to nine other top-performing beds.
We looked at a number of factors including:
Durability and materials – how well was each product made and finished?
Safety features – did the product have padded rails, lockable wheels, mesh ventilation, firm bedding, a locking system etc? And could a baby's fingers become trapped? Ruth studied everything from the frame to the mattress
Choking hazards – were there any parts that could come loose?
Sturdiness – she walked into it, knocked it against furniture and dropped it when assembled and packed away. Could each cot withstand the weight of both an adult and child if accidentally fallen into?
Safety standards – she also looked for the appropriate safety labels
Height of side panels – could a child climb out easily?
Assembly and folding
How straightforward was it to assemble and fold?
Were written or visual instructions clear and precise? Could the instructions also be accessed online and were there video tutorials to guide you through?
Each cot was assembled and taken down 20 times – this was also timed to see how long it would take
We also wanted to see which products might cause difficulty for people with mobility issues and which were the easiest to assemble and take down
Ruth also considered how easy it would be to access spare parts and whether each cot came with a warranty
Ruth looked at how much space the cot took up in a room – did it slot in easily, and was it more suited to indoors or outdoors?
Could it be moved around easily, particularly through doorways, from one room to another, and up and down the stairs? Did it have to be folded in order to do so?
How easy was it to place the child inside? Could the side panels be lowered?
When inside, was the little one comfy? Did they like it and was there enough room to sleep and to play?
Was it heavy to carry and did it fit comfortably in the boot of an average-sized family car? Could it be taken on public transport easily?
Ruth analysed looks, including colours, fabrics and overall design
Did the bed fit in with the décor? Was the design attractive and user-friendly?
Were there different colours to choose from?
The likes of mud, sand, peanut butter, milk and orange juice were smeared and spilled onto the interior and exterior to see how easy stains were to remove
Ruth also checked for removable bedding that could easily be thrown into the washing machine
We tested products with a variety of price tags and compared the more expensive models to those that were cheaper
If pricey, was it worth the price tag?
And were there any extras included to make the investment more justified?
How real-life comparative testing makes Mumsnet Reviews unique
We commissioned Ruth Lumley to write about and test a variety of toddler and baby travel cots. Ruth is a journalist who has used a number of baby beds with her three young children – from the newborn stage right through to toddlerhood and while holidaying abroad and visiting relatives in the UK.
During the research process, she looked at the types of products available, scoured the Mumsnet forums for recommendations and spoke to baby sleep experts from The Lullaby Trust , an organisation that provides advice on safer sleep for babies.Ruth tried out each bed with her youngest child, who was 18 months old at the time of testing. She tested each for at least three nights, both at home and at the grandparents' house, which meant that all the models were subject to the same environmental factors and held a child of the same age and weight.

When it’s time for fun, your toddler can crawl in and out of Slumber through its zip-open door – providing a secure space for playtime.
A conscious choice
Slumber features stylish quilted material crafted using a yarn made from recycled plastic bottles that would have otherwise been sent to landfill.
With fabrics made from recycled plastic bottles, Slumber is stylish and sustainable.
Time for travel
With its ultra lightweight and compact design and super easy fold, Slumber is the perfect travel companion. The waterproof carry case included ensures your travel cot is always looking its best.

Red Kite Sleeptight Travel Cot review
- Jessica Brown
In a nutshell
An award-winning travel cot - it's lightweight, easy to assemble and collapse, and even though you may have to buy a comfier mattress, it's still great value for money.
What we tested
- Easy to assemble and fold away, hassle-free with no instruction booklet, sturdy, great quality mesh and good value for money.
- The mattress is hard and flimsy - you definitely need to buy an additional mattress for it..
Showing item 1 of 6
Key features of the Red Kite Sleeptight travel cot:
- Age suitability: Newborn to 15kg
- Weight : 8.7kg
- Features: easy and fast to assemble, fully padded top rails, easy-view mesh panels
- Accessories: Carry bag and mattress included
- Colours: Black
The Sleeptight Travel Cot from Red Kite is an award-winning travel cot that's suitable from birth and extremely easy to assemble - making it perfect for holidays or visiting friends and family overnight. It can be used as a play-pen for toddlers too. A good quality cot at a very affordable price of £30.
If I was looking for a cheap, easy and hassle-free travel cot for occasional use, I would definitely recommend this to friends, but I would also recommend they buy another mattress, as the one included isn’t very comfortable. Despite this, as one of the cheapest travel cots on the market, The Red Kite is excellent value for money.
I am a mum of two. I have an 11-month-old son, Barnaby, and a 2.5 year old daughter, Alannah. I tested out the product during a family trip to Devon.
10 of the best travel cots
What were your first impressions of the Red Kite Sleeptight travel cot?
I really like the sleek black bag it arrives in. It's lightweight and easy to carry. I also like the fact that the cot is black, which means it won't look dirty along the top edges after sticky little fingers and mouths have been touching it. The Red Kite travel cot is very light and compact.
What was it like to assemble, and how long did it take?
Once you know what you're doing, it's incredibly easy to assemble. In fact, it's so simple there wasn't even an instruction booklet, although there are a few instructions written on the inside of the cot. You simply pull up the shorter side-bars first and click into place. It’s essential you do this before you push the bottom down, otherwise they won’t snap together, which can be quite frustrating. It was equally easy to collapse, although you need to pull the bottom up first.
How many parts does it have?
There are only two parts; the actual cot and removable mattress.
What is the mattress like?
Unfortunately, the mattress is flimsy and too hard - there is very little padding. You will definitely need to buy an additional mattress to make it more comfortable. However, this seems to apply to all makes of this style of travel cot, and is not just specific to this one. I suppose that’s what makes it so portable and easy to pack into a compact bag.
11 of the best baby mattresses
Does it feel comfortable for your little one?
It feels very sturdy and robust, my son loved playing with his toys in it. The padded edges around the top are great too.
What do you think of the mesh side panels?
The white mesh side-panels are great, and very easy to see through when your baby is asleep. The holes are small enough so little fingers can't poke through.
You can buy the Red Kite Sleeptight Travel Cot at Kiddicare , Amazon , Asda or eBay .
How portable is the Red Kite Sleeptight travel cot?
It packs up very neatly, and fits perfectly into a lightweight carry-bag, great for overnight stays and trips away.
Award-winning travel accessories
What is the weight of the travel cot?
It feels very light – weighing 8.5kg
Would you use it from newborn?
Yes, it's suitable to use for a newborn, although for me personally, I feel it's a bit too big for a very young baby.
How long do you think it will last?
I think it will last until your child is around 3 years old - it says a maximum of 15kg. The cot feels quite sturdy, but I think a boisterous toddler would possibly knock it over if they were jumping up and down and rocking against the side, or if they were big enough to roll over the sides.
How easy is it to clean?
The dark colour makes it very easy to conceal any general dirtiness or wear and tear. However, if needed, the fabric cover can be sponge cleaned with a mild detergent. The fabric is not removable.
How easy is it to fold and get into the carry bag?
Once you have pulled up the handle in the bottom and un-assembled the cot, it is very easy to fold shut and put into the carry-bag. Hassle-free and very quick.
MFM's verdict
In conclusion, I think this is a good, robust travel cot. It fits compactly into any car boot, which is ideal when travelling anywhere with a baby and all the extra things you need to pack. It may be a lot cheaper than some travel cots on the market, but it’s not poor quality. Saying that, I think it would be better with a deeper, more comfortable mattress included, and I'd have been happy to pay a little bit extra for that. It was time-consuming having to go to the shop to purchase an additional mattress to use, and as anyone with kids knows, time is precious!

Moscow can be an expensive city to travel to, although booking hotels in advance can often mean finding good deals and saving money. Having said that, transport is relatively affordable, and exploring the Moscow Metro is like being in an art museum; parks, churches, and free walking tours provide a great way to save money, and it's possible to find deals at restaurants to suit all budgets.
Tipping in Moscow is not as widely expected as in other countries of the world. Tip tour guides around 10% of their daily rate, but in taxis, hotels, and restaurants only if the service warrants it.
