We love that the crib has 6 adjustable heights to better help it align the barrier of the crib to the parents' mattress — this is particularly useful if you're travelling and staying in different places.

This may not be the lightest or most attractive travel cot here, but it does the job for a fraction of the cost of other models. To keep your bundle of joy comforted and close to you while you're on the move, a baby carrier is a great choice.For ease of moving about, it also has two wheels when folded up that means you can pull it along like a suitcase – genius! Babies are at a higher level in this cot, too, so you can pick them up and settle them down without pulling a muscle. We really liked the newborn insert, which raises very young babies to typical bed height, so you don’t have to break your back lifting them in and out of the cot.

We love the idea of the bedside design and I think that’s what makes the Joie Kubbie Sleep unique as a travel cot. When it comes to getting out and about with younger babies, prams are a must so they can lie down in a position that's safe and comfortable for them - but why not take a look at our range of travel systems? It’s important to note however, that there were two of us – I wouldn’t have been able to carry this and all our other stuff on my own!It’s safety-tested, comes with a carry bag, is easy to assemble and it has mesh sides, to give you a clear view of your child as they rest or sleep.

Five products were then awarded a Mumsnet Best badge – these are the products that we feel offer the absolute best value for most parents. Referring to expert review sites for extra information, we collated all the information to bring you our top picks. Meanwhile, a double latch safety system will give you complete peace of mind that your baby is secure, so you can both rest easy.It isn’t a huge problem, but note that this travel cot doesn’t come with a bassinet attachment – so, if you’re short, placing a 10kg child down into it can prove tricky. Assembly proved quick and easy: it probably took us no more time than the 60 seconds suggested by the brand. TRAVEL COT: Either use the removeable bassinet for new-borns or for older babies use the lower base and mattress for a comfortable, secure sleep. When it comes to safe sleeping, they also insist that the bed's original mattress needs to be firm, entirely flat and waterproof with no soft or cushioned areas, particularly around the baby's head.
