Babylo Liteway Lightweight Travel Cot - Grey Mélange

Product Information

Travel cots don’t need a separate mattress. All our travel cots come with safe and firm mattresses already included with the cot. 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? 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. It’s also big enough to be used as a playpen and, although there are cheaper travel cots on the market, if you find this one at a decent price you really can't go wrong.

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. She was also impressed by the mosquito net - perfect for travel wherever you're headed. 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.

What's the best travel cot to buy?

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 2023. 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. 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. 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. 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

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. The BabyDan Travel Cot an extra-long cot at a budget price. No, it’s not as cheap as the excellent Cuggl, but at almost 20cm longer it’s a great option if you need a larger-than-average product.Each product was tested in rooms with both carpet and laminate flooring, then scored on six key areas: Don’t be fooled by the Nuna Sena Aire's stylish lines – this one is built like a tank. After being pushed, shoved and bounced into with the ‘help’ of our tester’s exuberant toddler, we were impressed at just how sturdy this neat-looking crib actually is. Were written or visual instructions clear and precise? Could the instructions also be accessed online and were there video tutorials to guide you through?

Join us this weekend for our 3 day Christmas sales event at our Bolton baby store just based off Tennyson street in Brownlow mill. 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? 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. 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.The Smart Changer is a complete solution for changing and bathing your baby in a clean, comfortable, and convenient way
