Babylo Deluxe Drop Side Co-Sleeper Bedside Travel Cot, Grey Mélange, Pack of 1

Product Information

I think our highchair might be babylo too, is wooden which I wouldn't recommend as is more difficult to clean and is heavy but on the pls side it's very sturdy! Overall, the Joie Baby Kubbie Sleep Bedside Travel Cot is a great choice for parents looking for a safe and comfortable sleep solution for their little one. Bedside cribs provide your little snoozer with their own safe space to sleep but they're still close enough to you for comfort. It also packs up compactly for ease of transport and has a very comfortable mattress that I think little ones will sleep well in.

Christina Rolles from safe sleep charity The Lullaby Trust says: “A travel cot should have a rigid frame and base, and a firm, flat mattress, covered in a waterproof material. The travel cot takes mere seconds to assemble: the legs drop and lock as you open it, after which the mattress drops in.It's definitely not the lightest product on our list, but remove any accessories you're not using (such as the changer or bassinet) and this significantly reduces the weight to make it easier to move or carry. There are no special techniques to master, nor do you have to rely on separate sections all clipping and locking into place. It makes for an excellent play and sleep solution to keep at grandparents’ house and works out at excellent value for money, when you consider it’s three useful items in one. Its clever zigzag leg design pops open easily into a soft, sturdy dreamland and it’s one of the easiest to collapse – we found we could do it one-handed. in this style (one lives at ours, one at my parents) and they do require an extra mattress but are great.

A lightweight and portable bedside crib is hard to come by, so, we were very grateful Halo’s offering ticked a lot of boxes for parents to get that reassuring ‘home away from home’ feeling when on the move. No, it’s not as cheap as the excellent Cuggl, but at almost 20cm longer it’s a great option if you need a larger-than-average product. Taking a baby out of their usual safe, strong cot with a supportive mattress and putting them in a shaky cage with a rock-hard or spiky mattress is a fast way to ensure nobody in the family gets much shut-eye.The Graco Contour Electra comes bursting with added extras, including practical additions like a cot-top changing unit, and fun ones like the mobile and battery-operated unit that plays tunes and vibrates the cot. It folds up to an easily transportable, small travel bag and has lovely extras such as the hanging toy bar and night light which are well thought out. Graco are well-loved by Mumsnetters thanks to their good-quality, affordable baby gear, and this travel cot is no exception.

As the Joie Kubbie’s covering material is not removable, it’s not easy to clean as we can’t simply throw it in the washing machine. We also turned to the Mumsnet forums - home of the UK's largest network of parents - to seek out authentic recommendations and honest reviews of the travel cots they'd used with their own children. It meant that my wife had to get up slightly to check on our daughter, or if she picked her up for a feed.

The latest model has a 4-in-1 design, so it can be used as a newborn crib, toddler travel cot, playpen with an open side and as a co-sleeper.
