Disabled parent - help needed with travel cot / cot

[vaishalii]

Hi all,
Apologies if this has been discussed before (I did look but couldn't find an answer).

I have mobility problems and cannot bend easily at the waist, and have problems with my shoulders. Finding a travel cot or cot that doesn't involve a lot of bending down seems impossible.

Does anyone know of any disabled parent-friendly cots or travel cots? I have seen things like Lotte Cots but they are mega expensive.

Many thanks in advance ❤️

Hey OP what age is your little one? We’ve a pop up hawk and the infant insert I can manage post c section (when I can’t bend). However it wouldn’t be suitable for an older child due to the risk of them standing and falling etc. a lot of the bedside infant cribs are shallow depth too.

Post surgery I’ve also used the next to me crib, with the zipped side, but not attached to the bed (to allow easier access).

Once wee ones are sitting and mobile, it’s very difficult to get a bedside cot for baby’s safety. A friend with mobility differences has a deep/traditional wooden side cot with a hinged side for access (one side opens like two bifold doors) but I think she had to adapt it.

Alternatively - Can you bedshare?
