Travel cot hire

[Oiwiththepoodlesalreadygg]

In the process of booking next year's summer holiday at a canvas holiday camp and it says cot hire is available but no mattress. Does this mean we need to bring our own mattress? Not sure how that would work on a flight! Has anyone come across this before/what would you do? DD will be 11 months old when we travel.

Call them and ask? It likely means there's a travel cot but it's just the standard board in the bottom.

I think that officially the board at the bottom of the cot with a bit of puffiness on it is considered a mattress. That never felt enough with me so we also used a thin additional one but I can see that might be an issue taking it on a flight.

We have an extra mattress for the travel cot, we've taken it abroad as our second piece of baby equipment along with the buggy. You just have to label it up well. It came in its own carry bag. Think it was from Amazon.

@Iheartmykyndle ooh thank you - will look into that!
