HELP! travel cot with zip-down side for semi-cosleeping 14mo?

I need to get a travel cot to stay in hotel with my co-sleeping 14mo very soon - we've been putting off a trip that can't be put off any longer. She bf to sleep,wakes easily if transferred so won't generally sleep in a cot (trying to change, but that's a whole other story). I'm thinking if I can get one with a zip down side, I can lie on cushions of the floor next to her, feed to sleep, then zip her up! I want something that I can also use as a playpen on the trip whilst I'm in the shower etc.
Does anyone have experience of travel cots for a similar baby? I've seen the phil and teds one - very expensive, but might do the trick. Is is silly to be getting a travel cot for a baby of this age?

You could get a samsonite pop up cot. Can't do a link as I'm on the app just now. They do two sizes, a tiny one for little babies and a bigger one.

Thank you both! The chicco might work - how high is it off the floor,and is the mattress ok? The samsonite probably wouldn't do it, as I don't think it would 'contain' her once asleep or work as a playpen.

The chicco is about a hand sideways off the floor. The mattress was a thin one ok for the odd night but we used it a fair bit so had another mattress a cotton one that we bought apart and rolled into another bag.
