Lightweight pop up travel beds cots advice needed!

DD now 21 mths is growing out of her cot at grandparents. It is a standard one. She is not ready for a bed yet as beds at gp are too high and she does move alot. She can climb out of playpen (used at pool) so no point in getting a standard travel cot . We will be staying at friends over Xmas then have a holiday in late Jan then back to g parents for the summer so are looking at possibly purchasing a pop up cot. Have looked at Bush Baby, Little Life, Nomad, Travel centre . Main thing looking for is comfort, she is secure ( she can't topple it over if she stands up. The inflatable mattress is a bonus if it is not a plasticy sticky thing also no idea if you can purchase an alternative mattress to fit in them ??
Can anybody give me any feedback / suggestions When in the Uk don't have many places where we can go and see them so it will be an online buy !

Thanks

Can't help with any of your suggested ones (been trying to get info on the bushbaby one myself for DS 8mths) but would a ready bed be any good?

DD used one from 25mths and loves it

Readybeds are half price at Argos at the moment.

Thx but think she needs a bit of containing she does move a fair bit in her sleep. They say from about 24mths and was hoping to get a mattress that would fit inside a cot rather than using the lilo effect for more than a few nights.

We have a bushbaby and it is very good, goes up until the age of five. Not the cheapest but....
we got it "from here" but they dont seem to have them in atm.

we had a pop-up cot and didn't find it much use TBH.
Now have a sleeping bag with an airbed which is in a sort of 'pocket' attached to it. we use these for stay-overs at relatives, holiday cottage and camping. DS2 has had one since 20mo, as he was also a climber who could shin out of a camp-cot / playpen type in minutes, but loves this sleeping-bag thing. he is now 4 and still loves it, will prob fit in it til around 7. DD (23mo) is also starting to use one as she's sleeping in toddler bed at home (i.e. not reducing herself to sleeping in a mere cot any more)
We got ours in argos - around £19 i think

Thanks might give it a go this Christmas when in the UK. At home she has a cot bed so more space to move round and it is deeper than the standard cot that she has in the UK which she wants to try and climb out of as soon as she wakes up. We will be in the Uk for a good month this summer so not sure if a month on an inflatable mattress is that good for her but £20 is better than £90 !
