Travel cots abroad

How does everyone take a travel cot abroad with them? I’ve bought one recently and I’m planning to take it on holiday with us abroad, does it go as extra luggage? Put it in a suitcase? What does everyone do, I’m not relying on there being one at the place we’re staying, I’m taking our own. Just curious on how everyone does it? It weighs 5kg so thinking of putting it in a case…

We just book one with the hotel. Never had an issue, they’ve always had one ready for us with extra sheets 💜 I’d save the luggage space, call up a day or two before to confirm they got the request x

Hotels provide them 🙌

If you're staying in a hotel then they should provide one. I've never had an issue with this. If you're worried you could email the hotel directly and confirm it.

You are allowed 2 pieces with an infant so pram and car seat or travel cot. You just check it in, can put it in an extra bag if you prefer… stick some nappies in the bag too! Though I’ve always had them provided

We’re staying in a vila/house. On the website it says they have one but I just don’t know whether to trust it’s condition. Thank you all so much xx I’ll give an email but also maybe plan on taking ours and seeing what happens at the airport, might call the airline too x

We stayed in a villa and they provided a cot & highchair… the mattress in the travel cot wasn’t the best, so maybe a travel mattress topper or your own

Yeah if you're staying in a villa then perhaps take yours if you already have one. We stayed in a villa last year and the cot was actually rubbish. It didn't even have a mattress they just provided lots of bed sheets to pad it out with, and it was wobbly. Baby ended up co sleeping with us.

Also please link your small travel cot 🤣 the reason we never got one was because they seem so BULKY!

@Rebecca we got this one, it’s big but looks like it could fit in a large suitcase? Haven’t tried it yet though, but I know you can also get check in bags on Amazon!
