Babylo Liteway Lightweight Travel Cot - Grey Mélange

Product Information

For example, if the travel cot will be used for overnight stays at relatives or friends every month, you won’t need to worry too much about weight and the ease of assembly – especially if it can remain constructed.

But remember, a firm mattress is important for safe sleep for your baby, and doesn’t mean your child won’t be comfortable. MFM Consumer and Reviews Editor Christy commented: "It's so easy to set up, which is really useful if you forget how between holidays, or are asking a grandparent to help.

It folds up to an easily transportable, small travel bag and has lovely extras such as the hanging toy bar and night light which are well thought out.

Made of breathable mesh with a padded mattress included, the Slumber has three distinct uses as a bedside co-sleeper, travel cot and playpen. These help with air circulation and will provide a more comfortable environment for your child to sleep. He was also impressed with the durability, saying, "I’m really impressed with the quality of the build, despite the ‘sticky’ mechanics. deep, putting it on a par with most travel cot mattresses but perhaps not up there with the likes of the Bugaboo Stardust. It can be assembled in a few minutes as the parts all quickly slot into place and the foldable mattress supplied fits snugly in the base of the cot and comes complete with a mattress and fitted sheet and folds neatly into a travel bag.

MFM home tester Rovenna, who tried it with her 4-month-old, said, "The fact it has both a raised zip in baby bassinet or a deep bed for toddlers – as well as a comfortable and generously filled built in mattress – is fantastic. One of the great features of the Joie Kubbie Sleep travel cot is that it can be used beside the bed once its straps are attached to the bed, and its side is dropped," said MFM reviewer Dominic, who tested this with his newborn daughter. The newborn insert sits at the top of the cot, meaning your baby will be at the height of your bed - although these is no option to drop the side in this mode as with some bedside cribs. If you're looking for longevity beyond that, the Venture TravelPod and the Micralite Sleep 'n' Go have a slightly longer lifespan, but will cost you a little more. MFM home tester Jessica said, “The Graco Electra travel cot has proven to be a lovely cot for my 5 month old son.
