Looking for travel cot

[MrsCaptainJackSparrow]

I'm currently looking at travel cots for my 6mo. We are visiting my family for a few days at Christmas and my dp family in Germany for a week at new year.

Are the basic ones ok?

I had two basic ones and they were fine. But quite heavy, are you driving or flying? I don't know if you can take them as extra to the baggage allowance like you can a pushchair.

Thanks for the reply. We will be driving and have just purchases a nice big estate car so room isn't really a problem!

I've read reviews and that are so mixed!

I had one from asda, a red kite one and another that I can't remember but think was by Hauck maybe? They were both a bit tricky to get the hang of putting them up and down but once you had 'the knack' they were fine
