Travel cot recommendations

18 replies

marmitemad · 20/05/2007 18:45

I am looking for a travel cot that is easy to put up/down and reasonably portable as we will probably need to take it on planes. DD is 3 months old at the moment so don't want to get the pop up ones as she will grow out of it soon.
Thanks for any advice.

Get a long one, standard ones don't last very long

The twin arc one is good - light weight so good for flying -goes up like a tent with bendy poles. Much longer than ordinary travel cot. I have one for sale (used twice) if you're interested!!

i have this one and it is fantastic, def agree to get a long one as the standard ones are 100cm long, not long enough.
i had a pop up samsonite one first but gave it away as once they can stand they can tip it.

we have a cheap mothercare model but its worked a treat fro both of mine. It regularly gets sliged around in the back of the car to adn from the childmainers and has been on aeroplanes loads of times. I dont think that you really get anything better for more money.

Graco pack and play - I have 3 of them!

They are cheap ~ £35, really easy to put up and when you forget them you can buy another - that's how I ended up with 3!

They are normal sized though and my ds who is 14 months fills it already.

Sorry to keep hounding you alexw its just we're away for the weekend and don't want to miss your reply.

Also we're off for a hol in a few weeks and need to sort out travel cot by then!!!

Thanks

alexw · 01/06/2007 20:22

Hi have been on hol myself. The cot would suit age up til you wouldn't use a cot as long as your lo isn't too wide!! It's narrower but longer than normal travel cot. Did you receive pics? Whereabouts are you? Is delivery/pick up feasable?

sammysam · 04/06/2007 11:14

Hi!
Didn't receive pics! We're in Poole, Dorset, but also spend time in the Farnham, Surrey area and Taunton, Somerset-where abouts are you?

alexw · 06/06/2007 20:24

We're in London. Could be sent as is only 2.5kgs. Will resend pics now.

sammysam · 08/06/2007 16:06

How much would you want posted and collected?
