A travel cot is a baby travel essential you'll want to invest in

What do I need to look for in a travel cot?

When choosing the best travel cot for your baby or toddler, there are several factors to consider. Firstly – age suitability is important. Most travel cots are suitable from birth – but you should check the manufacturer's recommendations carefully. We’ve included details in our list to make it easier for you.

You also need to look at the weight of the travel cot – they vary from 6kg to 11kg – and consider how this fits with your needs. For example, if you’re throwing it in the back of a car, the weight is going to be less of an issue than a travel cot you’ll be carrying on a train or even plane. Check our list for the weights of each option to find the best travel cot for you.

Are travel cots suitable for newborns?

The majority of travel cots are indeed suitable to be used from birth, but you should check the manufacturers' instructions carefully. Some even have a built-in bassinet which provides an elevated sleep environment for newborns.

Are travel cots suitable for toddlers?

Travel cots are just as appropriate for toddlers as they are for newborns and very young babies. But of course, you need to check the age appropriateness of each particular model. Some travel cots are suitable to use until age three and a half.

Best travel cot for newborns – Joie Kubbie sleep compact travel cot

Best travel cot for toddlers – Maxi-Cosi Iris 2-in-1 travel cot 

Best travel cot for flying – Deryan travel cot

Best travel cot budget option – Red Kite black sleep-tight travel cot

Best travel cot for newborns

Joie Kubbie Sleep Compact Travel Cot, £115, Argos

Weight: 8.79 kg

Suitable: from birth till 15kg

The drop-down side on this model makes it popular with new parents looking for the best travel cot for newborns. It also features a bassinet, which are recommended for newborns. Once you’re out of the newborn stage, the mattress can be lowered so it becomes a good-sized travel cot and playpen for an older baby / toddler.

Top review: “Bought this for grandchild so daughter can stay over at night with new baby. Adjustable height very useful to allow baby to be by the bedside. Easy to erect and fold away. Very pleased.”

Best travel cot for toddlers

Maxi Cosi Iris 2 in 1 travel cot, £158, Amazon

Weight: 5.6 kg

Suitable from: birth to approx 3.6 years old

The big advantage of this travel cot is the fact that when it’s set on the floor it has no weight limit, and it’s high sides mean it’s difficult for a toddler to climb out. At 5.6kg it’s one of the lightest on the market and easy to transport, folding down into a super compact travel bag. There’s also a newborn setting, with the matress raised higher – so you can put younger babies down for a nap without bending low to the floor.

Top review: “This travel cot is great - assembles easily in minutes, straightforward to switch between the two heights. The cot doesn't look like a travel model and feels (and looks) high quality, with wooden legs and a well padded grey bumper. The mattress is lovely and thick and seems comfortable for our 7 week old; it also seems like it'll be water repellent if there are leaks or accidents. I was also pleasantly surprised by how roomy this bed is, and am confident it'll last well into toddlerhood.”

Best travel cot budget option

Red Kite Black sleep tight travel cot, £45.95,  Amazon

Weight: 6.99 kg

Suitable from: birth until 15kg

This travel cot is a great budget option that doesn’t compromise on quality. It’s sturdy and features a padded top rail and breathable mesh sides. It’s also very easy to assemble and put down and put away. However the mattress is quite thin, so you may want to consider buying an additional one if it’s going to be used for an extended period of time.

Top review: “Having now used this multiple times, I’m really impressed with it - 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 it’s so helpful that the instructions are printed onto the underside of the mattress - what a great idea (these sleep-deprived parents are very grateful for this design feature!) You must put it up/take it down in the right order or you will struggle to get it folded correctly.”

Best pyramid-style travel cot

Micralite Premium travel cot, was £150 now £124.99,  Amazon

Weight: 6.74 kg

From: Newborn (with insert, sold separately) to 15kg

Some parents prefer a pyramid-style travel cot because it encourages little ones to stay in the lower part of the cot and discourages them from trying to climb out. This cot scores top marks for its portability and ease to put up and down. The black colourway is also a godsend to avoid stains being a problem

Top review: "We really like the fact that you can unzip one end so the baby can call in and out if it is not being used as a cot and we find that the baby really likes this and takes her toys into it. The structure itself is incredibly strong and stable and again because of the pyramid-style design, it will be impossible for it to topple.

"It is really easy to fold up and put away and when in its bag incredibly compact ideal for taking to grandparents or friends if you are having a night away."

Best travel cot for easy assembly

Bugaboo stardust travel cot, £225,  John Lewis

Weight: 6.7kg

One second to unfold, three seconds to fold – when it comes to easy assembly this wins the best travel cot badge, hands down. The mattress is firm and comfortable and the additional zip-in carry cot makes it suitable from birth.

Top review: Very quick and easy to assemble (it really is a matter of seconds) and feels sturdy once assembled. Bulkier to store than some other travel cots, but does fold fairly flat and comes with a useful carry case. The mattress is better than any other travel cots we have tried and doesn't need extra padding like the concertina-style mattresses other cots have. Our 10-month-old sleeps happily in this.”

Best travel cot for flying

Deryan travel cot, £68.38,  Amazon

Weight: 1.8kg

Suitable from: birth to two years

If you’re looking for the best travel cot you can take as hand luggage, this model is a great option. It’s a pop-up beach tent style with a slef inflating mattress which features a breathable zip up mesh cover which protects against insects and mosquitos. The reviews do mention that the matress is a thin one, so this cot is better suited to occasional short trips when taking a more sturdy travel cot isn’t possible.

Top review: “I bought this travel cot mainly due to the small size and portability as were flying to visit family. It is light weight, compact and easily fitted in our suitcase without taking up too much room. If you didn't need to pack it away, it can be easily carried using the strap.

“The cot itself it so easy to assemble - it's basically a pop up cot. The self inflate mattress then fits inside and you zip the cover sheet over the top with a velcro tab to secure the zip fastens. Simple! It has mesh sides providing good ventilation and this feature also gives you a good view of your child.”

8 best travel cots under £100 – how to choose between Argos, Red Kite and more

Make sure your baby has somewhere comfy to sleep when away from home with a reliable, compact bed.

Travel cots, it may surprise you to learn, are not just for travel. They double up as an emergency bed for unexpected small guests or work as a safe space to leave your young mobile child if you need to get something done – peaceful trip to the toilet anyone? They’re also great if you’re short on space and can’t get a full-sized cot bed in.

The term “travel” can be quite misleading as it tends to imply they will be small, light and easy to carry – however, this is not always the case. While they all fold down to a sensible size that can be easily thrown in the boot of a car, if you were hoping to hop on a train with cot in one hand and small child in the other, you could be in for a nasty surprise.

If you regularly make overnight trips car-free, take a good look at the weight of a product before you commit to it and consider one that goes on your back, rucksack style, rather than one which will take up a valuable hand that may be required for toddler herding.

As with every product aimed at the new parent market, there are thousands of options all promising to deliver something better than the next. Here, we’ve looked at products under £100 – although if your budget stretches, there are options considerably more expensive.

Things to consider

Think about what suits your needs – bassinets for newborns are great for those first few months but won’t last beyond about 12 weeks when your baby will likely have outgrown it. Consider investing in a cot with different levels/settings or a bassinet attachment as this will grow with your child and last much longer – providing much better value for money in the long run.

Many cots claim to double up as a playpen, which is a great feature. But again, the time period this serves is relatively short – few toddlers will remain in-situ without screaming for more than about three minutes.

The majority of travel cots claim to come with a mattress included – this is usually one that wraps around the outside of the cot frame once folded. While they serve the purpose of providing a safe, flat surface for your child to sleep on, they are not usually very thick and can be a little uncomfortable, so many parents do prefer to buy one. If you are doing this, remember to check the dimensions of your cot so as to buy the correct size mattress, and remember a classic mattress will not roll up or fold for travel.

Travel cots are listed in price order.

This article has been updated. It was originally published in May 2019.

Red Kite Sleep Tight Travel Cot

£ 29.99 , Argos

Best for:   Value for money

When it comes to value for money, this travel cot is a clear winner. It’s a proper does-what-it-says-on-the-tin product in that it’s a simple, straightforward travel cot that provides a safe space for your baby or toddler to sleep when you’re away from home.

It’s easy to erect and dismantle and comes with the standard thin travel cot mattress. As with most products, you’ll likely want to buy a separate, thicker mattress or for older children, place a quilt down to cushion the base. There are no fancy features here but it definitely does the job.

Cuggl Deluxe Travel Cot and Changer Unit

£ 59.99 , Argos

Best for:   Bad backs

This clever travel cot comes with a clip-on changer unit for nappy changes on the go, as well as a bassinet level for younger babies. It’s easy to set up and take down and doubles up as a play pen for when you need to keep a mobile baby contained.

It’s really good value for money when you consider all the different features and your back will thank you for making use of the clip-on changer unit, which feels nice and secure. The cot is very sturdy but the mattress is a little firm.

In terms of weight, it does come in on the heavier side, so not particularly easy to carry, but a lot of people tend to keep travel cots either as a spare bed for visitors or pop them in the car when going away, so it’s not a major problem.

Koo-di Sun and Sleep Pop-Up Travel Cot

£ 59.99 , JoJo Maman Bébé

Best for:   Daytime naps

This cute little pop-up-tent-come-cot ticks a lot of boxes – not least because it’s light, packs down small and is genuinely easy to put away. It’s great for camping, as it follows the same principle as a pop-up tent, and also comes complete with built-in black-out blinds and mosquito netting.

It’s an ideal place to pop your baby down during a warm summer’s day in the garden. The mattress, like all the products we tested, is very thin so you might want to purchase the suggested blow-up one (sold separately) or at least cushion the floor with a couple of blankets.

moKee Everyday Travel Cot

£ 75.00 , moKee

Best for:   Stylish parents

This surprisingly compact cot is made by the Scandi-inspired, design-led team at moKee. Known for their beech wood cots and Italian wool Moses baskets, this dinky little travel cot is no less stylish.

It’s easy to pop up and down, stores away small and is unusual in that it is square rather than the traditional rectangle shape. This is great for storage and travelling, but less effective for long/tall babies and children so bear that in mind if shopping for older kids.

The mattress (provided) is softer than most and it’s a lovely comfy space for babies to both rest and play. The sides are nice and deep too so you feel confident your little one is secure. It’s a really lovely product at a great vale price – especially during the current £20 off promotion.

Hauck Sleep N Play Centre II

£ 69.99 , Amazon

Best for:   Toddlers

For a real jack-of-all-trades product, look no further than the Hauck Sleep N Play. This folding cot comes with a bassinet for younger babies (up to 9kg), so you don’t have to drop them all the way in, while the side zip opening means you can get bigger mobile children in and out without having to lift them.

The side-opening feature is also great for playtime for older children and it’s worth noting that it can only be unzipped from the outside, so there’s no risk of your little Houdini going walkabout at night.

There’s even a changing unit to pop on top to save your back during nappy changes and a side pocket for storing all the bits and pieces you need. Again, the folding mattress is thin and Hauck recommends purchasing a separate sleeper mattress and fitted sheet.

Inovi Cocoon Travel Crib

£ 93.95 , Amazon

Best for:   Pet owners

This product sneaks onto the list, as it’s currently available on Amazon for less than the usual RRP of £115. Aimed at newborns and very young babies, it’s more of a travel moses basket rather than a full blown cot.

It’s actually very light and, best of all, assembly is fool-proof. There’s no sides to click or bases to lift, it just sort of pops up and down again. The storage bag (included) is flat with a handle, so less bulky than conventional cots, and the measurements when folded meet hand luggage requirements – great if you’re going abroad. It also takes up much less space in the car.

It’s called a cocoon because it encases your baby in a breathable zip-up mesh cocoon that prevents against bugs and curious pets or siblings who might be leaning in for a closer look. The only drawn back is it’s only suitable for use up to six months or so, making it quite an expensive investment and one that will need to be replaced.

LittleLife Arc 2 Lightweight Travel Cot

£ 94.99 , LittleLife

Best for:   Outdoor adventures

This is another cot that snuck on to the list, as it usually retails for around £109.99 but is currently on offer. The offer also includes a free sunshade (normally £14.99), so it’s a really good deal from travel brand LittleLife.

Known for its toddler backpacks (the type you carry a toddler in while out walking/trekking), the outdoor expert has hit upon a really great product that not only fits in a discreet backpack, but it’s genuinely light enough to carry around with you. There are very few travel cots this can be said of, as while they are designed to be portable, there is usually an assumption you’ll be chucking it in a car boot rather than carrying it yourself.

As a non-car owner, the Arc 2 was a real revelation. It’s designed like a tent with foldable poles and even pegs and straps to hold it in place (it’s suitable for outdoor use), so again there’s no sides to squeeze or bases to lift. It’s compact once erected but you need a lot of space to extend and thread the poles, so it’s a bit impractical in a small space such as a caravan or the box room at Granny and Grandpas. But you can build it elsewhere and easily lift it.

We struggled a little with the fitted mattress cover – it didn’t seem to fit at first – but it just takes a bit of wriggling. Our tester loved the zip doors and see-through roof, and we love the genuine portability of the product.

Joie Kubbie Sleep Compact Travel Cot

£ 99.99 , Argos

Best for:   Newborns

This smart little piece of kit is one of the newest products from baby expert Joie and it works well for very young babies, as it has a drop-down side for co-sleeping. It also comes with a bassinet fixture for young babies, so they are higher up and easy to access.

The drop-down side (used with the bassinet fitting) means you can attach it to the side of your own bed then simply roll over for night time feeds or checks, no need to lift baby in and out. It also means you can hold your little one’s hand if they need reassurance without having to reach over and down – giving yourself dead-arm in the process.

The set-up and dismantling process is straightforward and the deep sides (in standard mode) offer good peace of mind that toddlers and older babies won’t somehow be able to scramble out. It’s fairly slim and compact too, so works well in small spaces but we did find it a little short for our 2.5-year-old tester – she was basically the same length as the cot, so was forced to sleep diagonally or scrunched up.

How to Choose the Best Travel Cot

When it comes to travelling with your baby, there’s one product that can make life a whole lot easier: travel cots. Designed to be ultra-portable, you can take them with you on long journeys and always have a cosy space for your baby to sleep. Choosing the best travel cot is easy once you know what to look out for, which is why we’ve broken down all the key features of a travel cot right here.

What is a travel cot?

Travel cots, also called portacots and play yards, are collapsible cots that can be folded away, making it a piece of cake to pack them into a car or carry them around with you. The best travel cots are super easy to assemble—you just pop them up whenever you reach your destination and instantly have a comfortable sleeping spot for your baby. Folding travel cots are an extremely handy product for any parent who travels frequently or visits cot-free homes.

How to put up a travel cot

Travel cots are usually designed using clicking mechanisms that let you pull up the sides until they’re rigid, and then push down the base. The Bugaboo Stardust travel cot is designed to pop open within one second—you simply pull open the two sides and the base automatically unfolds.

What age is a travel cot for?

Travel cots come in different sizes and some also have attachments that make them suitable for children of different ages. Newborn travel cots come with travel cot bassinet inserts , which can be used from when a child is born until they are three months old. The biggest travel cots can be used up until a child is five years old. Make sure the travel cot you choose is the right size for your child so that they can sleep comfortably and safely.

How long can a baby sleep in a travel cot?

Travel cots are generally designed for short trips and overnight stays, as the mattresses tend to be thinner than a standard cot mattress. They’re not intended to be used instead of a regular crib, and we’d recommend only using your travel cot when you’re away from home or don’t have access to a standard cot.

Travel cot features to look out for

This is a list of useful features to look out for when choosing the best travel cot. A travel cot with all of these things will be easy to use, highly portable and durable.

Storage bag

One of the first things to look for when choosing a travel cot is portability. Check to see if the travel cot you’re looking at comes with a travel cot storage bag or shoulder strap. This is especially important if you plan to take it on long journeys by plane or train.

What’s nice about the Bugaboo Stardust is that the straps keep it closed even without the bag, making it easier to travel with for short distances. The Bugaboo Stardust folds down to only 14 cm/5.5 in wide and fits neatly inside a velcro closing bag. It also weighs just 8.2 kg/18 lbs, making it light enough to carry with ease.

Easy to assemble

Something that can make or break a travel cot is its assembly time. Ideally, you want something quick and simple to set up, and just as easy to pack away again when it’s time to go. For instance, the Bugaboo Stardust is designed to fold in one second and unfold in three seconds, without you having to assemble or disassemble it at all. Everything, including the mattress, stays in place. If you happen to visit the stores, have a go at folding and unfolding the travel cot. Look for simple clicking mechanisms and check that everything locks into place without too much hassle. If you’re online shopping, look for travel cot assembly instructions like our ‘How to use the Bugaboo Stardust travel cot’ tutorial .

To make sure things stay clean and fresh for your baby, you want a travel cot that either has removable, washable covers or one that is made with a wipe-clean fabric. Travel cots are more exposed to the elements than the cots you have in your home and frequent travelling can leave them needing a good scrub. You might also want to choose darker colours, such as a grey travel cot, which will make any dirt stains less visible.

Some travel cots come with built-in bassinets, which are perfect for newborns. The main differences between a bassinet and a crib are their size and height. Bassinets create a much smaller sleeping space, ideal for babies under five months, and they’re often raised to make it easier to lay your baby down and lift them back out.

Even better than built-in bassinets are travel cots that come with removable bassinets, allowing the product to grow with your baby. Bassinet inserts sit at about waist level within the cot, making it easier to reach your baby. The Bugaboo Stardust travel cot comes with an adjustable height bassinet insert that you can raise or lower, depending on your baby’s age and your own height.

Mesh sides & Mattress

Most travel cots are made with a mesh material for two key reasons. One is to make it easier for you to see your baby (and for them to see you). The other is that this material allows for better airflow and increased comfort for your child.

Another important factor to consider is the mattress. The Bugaboo Stardust comes with a mattress made from durable and high-quality fabric, designed for optimum comfort.

Dual-purpose

One of the great things about a good travel cot is that it doesn’t just have to be for sleeping. It can also often double up as a playpen, which is perfect for when you’re visiting homes or staying in hotels that haven’t been childproofed. Look for a travel cot playpen with a roomy base that gives your baby lots of space to have fun.

Travel cot safety tips

Like a lot of baby products, travel cots need to adhere to a set of safety regulations. In Britain, these are called BS EN 716—make sure that any travel cots you look at meet this safety standard before you buy.

Some other things to remember when it comes to travel cot safety are:

It’s essential to make sure that your travel cot is as stable as possible. One way to ensure this is to always use the baby travel cot mattress that comes with the product. They are designed with specific dimensions so that they don’t upset your cot’s balance.

Travel cot bedding tends to be thinner and harder than standard cot mattresses. For the reasons mentioned above, don’t try and change the mattress, and only add cushions or other soft furnishings if your baby is over one year old. This travel cot mattress safety advice is in accordance with the guidelines for preventing sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS).

Flexible sides

Pop up travel cots have many benefits—primarily their ease of use and the speed of assembly. But they often have flexible sides, which means that if you fall into them, there’s a chance they’ll tip over or wobble. If you have a travel cot with flexible sides, make sure to be extra careful when using it.

Buying second hand

Buying a second hand travel cot can be a good option if it’s not a product you’re likely to be using often. But there are a few things you should look out for, to make sure the product is safe for your baby:

• Make sure the label states that it complies with the British Standard Institution safety standards. The number on the label should read: BS EN 716-1:2008+A1:2013.
• Make sure there isn’t any obvious damage to the cot, such as broken corner coverings, holes in the mesh or broken zips.
• Check the condition of the mattress, and that it’s the mattress that was designed for the travel cot. If you have the wrong mattress, it might not be safe for your baby and could also hinder the packing away process.

Pair your baby’s travel cot with a travel cot mattress so that they can have the same comfort and safety as they would do in their cot or cot bed at home. They’re light as a feather too, meaning they’re perfect for taking with you on your family travels. And as with all our mattresses , our travel cot mattresses meet British Standards, and are breathable and non-toxic.

With our travel cot mattresses at Kiddies Kingdom, you can be rest assured that you’ll have versatility and practicality all in one. And we know babies are prone to messy accidents from time to time, but don’t worry because cleaning our travel cot mattresses is as easy as ABC.

Whether you go for a foam mattress or fibre mattress, your little one will be so snuggly and comfy that they won’t be able to get enough of their travel cot. Not only that, but they’re inherently hypoallergenic so your baby’s soft, delicate skin will be protected too.

If you’re looking for more information about mattresses in general , we’ve got all the information you need to know, to ensure your babe has the dreamiest of sleeps.
