Pop up travel cot?

4 replies

Softsoftsleep · 05/04/2023 10:58

We are flying abroad for a few days and staying in an Airbnb. We will be bringing a travel buggy and carseat for our 14 month old. The Airbnb have said they don't have a cot (husband organised it and forgot to ask). I don't want to drag our travel cot with us too as we had intended to travel quite light. I have seen some pop up travel cots online. Has anyone any recommendations for something lightweight yet sturdy that fits in a 20kg suitcase? Does such a thing exist?

I haven't used one, but I'd stick to a proper brand like Phil & Ted's or Joie. There are loads of cheap ones on Amazon but I wouldn't want to trust anything safety related to those no brand type makes.

Or what about a my first ready bed?

Are you staying in a very touristy area? If so there may be baby gear rental companies that you can rent one from, we did this in Cancun.
