Hi everyone,
We need a travel cot to leave at my parents house, suitable from birth onwards. We don't want to spend a fortune if possible but want something comfortable for little one. Does anyone have recommendations?
Thanks x

We have a Graco foldlite lx, it's got a newborn bassinet insert which means they're higher up. We chose this as it folds two ways, one quick fold into a flat rectangle that can easily be put behind a door or down the side of the sofa. And then the normal compact fold with the legs folded down as well. It's more expensive than some but this feature makes it easier to put away at nannas house!

@Charley thanks! How does the matress feel, does your little one sleep well?

Red kite but bought a separate thicker mattress as theirs is thin and flimsy.

All travel cot mattresses are the same. They feel quite hard to use, but babies have a lot less weight and so need less padding. And we all know a firm flat mattress is the safest thing for babies.
Most travel cots have a line in their instructions/safety information that says not to add an additional mattress, it's a suffocation/entrapment risk.
He has always slept well in it. We used it from about 3 months in the living room when he outgrew the moses basket, and more recently on a week long trip away at 7 months old.
@Charley thats perfect thank you. She will be 10 weeks when we first use it for a stay at nanny's. There's just too many to choose from it baffles me a bit!

We use the bugaboo stardust travel cot and have found it super easy!
