Travel cot for long term use

[notthegruffalo]

We are going away for 4 months for Dh's work. We might be able to buy a cot while we're there but for the first few weeks at least (maybe longer) we will have to use a travel cot. We are flying so it needs to be light-ish. Any recommendations?

Depending on where you're going you can hire cots, mattresses and other baby paraphanalia from specialist companies. Just Google for baby equipment hire and the name of the city you'll be staying in. They tend to have prices for daily and weekly hire but you might have to contact them directly for a longer term deal.

It might be easier doing that than trying to take your own, especially when flying.
