Travel Cot with Zip Down Side?

[JessieLou15]

Hi everyone,

I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions for a good travel cot with a zip down side.

We have just returned from a week away and used our travel cot for the first time and my back is now killing me and none of us have had much sleep as every time I try to perform some kind of yoga pose to lower DD into the thing she would wake up!

At home my DD (9 months) will not self settle and only falls asleep when led next to me in our bed and then I transfer her to her cotbed with a side that can be lowered. I know we should probably ‘sleep train’ but have tried a few methods in the past with no success and have decided to give it a break and go for the easiest option for now but with a few holidays early next year I’m in search of a travel cot that will suit us a bit better.

Thankyou all!
Jess

We have a Phil and teds one that has a zip side. I’ve never used it though, in fact I’ve always thought it was a daft feature but clearly I was wrong and it does have a use! But I can say that it’s a decent compact travel cot.

I have a Guava Lotus travel crib, it has a zip on one side.
