Buyer's guide to travel cots

 5 of 11 

Do you need rapid set-up?

If you often arrive at your destination late at night, or you need to contain your baby straight away – think campsite or hotel room full of hazards – you’ll need to get the travel cot up quick. Ask to see the travel cot being assembled in the shop to get an idea of ease of use, or if you have a young baby look for a pop-up cot like the Samsonite Pop-up Bubble Cot, Koo-di Pop-Up Bubble Cot or the Koo-di Travel Bassinette. The last thing you need at the end of a holiday is a travel cot that you can’t fold down. To avoid the stress of trying to collapse the cot every which way possible, practice before you leave home.
