Nomad Travel Cot

Absolutely mad about it - it's incredibly light, easy to put up, and since he was 6 months, our 18 month old has slept better in it than he does in our cot at home. Sturdy and safe.

Very easy to use as all you need is some basic comon sense...connect the poles together and push through the tent, connect at either end and pull tension cords tight, insert mattress and done. Downside is that it is large (upside for larger toddlers) and does take up floorspace. We used it first when our son was 4 months old and he was absolutely fine. Mattress does need a little extra puff but this is not a major issue. Major upside is the size that it packs down to and the weight - perfect for packing into your case and flying with.

We use it for car free travel. It can be lashed to the top of a rucksack or worn over the shoulder whilst still slinging the baby. Very lightweight, compact and easy to put up once you're used to it.

I made my own bottom sheet for it, and just use a grobag or normal blankets on the top, which makes it a bit cheaper.

We also used this cot as a stopgap cot when our son began climbing out of the cot. The on floor design and sloped walls mean it's safe for a climber.

In extremis (when travelling and desperate!) I have managed to get in myself, breastfeed 20 month toddler to sleep and climb out again. Brilliant.

Although expensive, the quality and versitiliy makes this a brilliant purchase. My 4 month old loves lying in this when we go camping and even my 5 year old can lie down in it. The mosquito nets mean you can zip the little one inside with no worries of insect bites. Its packs so small it can easily be hung on the pushchair to take down to the beach, even comes with its own ground pegs! Well worth the money in the long run. Once you work out how it goes together it takes no more than 5 minutes to put together.

Really light, pretty easy to put up, can be used from a tiny baby to a toddler. Highly recommended.

Bottom sheet and a growbag make it incredibly portable.
