How to decide which travel cot will work for your newborn, baby or toddler, plus essential safety advice when using travel cots
A travel cot is a collapsible cot that can be folded down, stored in a bag and taken on holiday or packed in the car. Most travel cots have a plastic or metal frame and mesh sides, and come with a lightly padded mattress. Some have wheels or castors. A travel cot can also double as a playpen.
A travel cot can be an essential bit of kit if you plan on travelling with your baby or toddler or you make regular trips to cot-free homes.
