bellaella Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 I am looking to get a travel cot to have at the grandparent's house... Does anyone have any recommendations? Some of them seem incredibly expensive so I would be interested to know whether you think they are worth it or if there are any great cheaper options?Thank you in advance!

srisky Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 http://direct.asda.com/Red-Kite-Sleeptight-Travel-Cot---Black/002641074,default,pd.htmlThis has been great for us.All travel cot mattresses are very thin, so pad it out with blankets etc for comfort.

Loigal Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 The bog standard one from kiddcare's own brand did a good job for us. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/83675-travel-cot-recommendations/#findComment-928209 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redmeghan Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 I've now got three travel cots in my collection - 1 at the grandparents and two at home. I've bought them all second hand, given them a scrub and they're great. I think all the models are quite thin - we always fold up a duvet or towels under the sheet. One thing to consider is the size - if you buy the classic travel cot size you have to buy the right size sheets but there are 120x60cm travel cots which also work with your cot sheet so you don't have to buy new ones and you never arrive at your destination with the wrong size sheet...I definitely don't think it's something you buy new - they get used so little and you can clean them thoroughly!

jollybaby Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 We bought a babydan travel cot which is the same size as a standard cot. Has been really useful and lasted well. My youngest daughter is over 2 and still fits in it comfortably and if we are using it home for any reason (ie when guests stay in her room) we pop her proper cot mattress in.If it is likely to be used regularly at the grandparents it might be worth investing in a semi decent mattress for it. You can but thin ones quite cheaply from kiddicare.

mouseysarah Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 I've got a Graco travel cot to sell at the moment on the classifieds! Can't link to the post but search for Graco and you should find it. It's the size of a normal cot and very sturdy, suitable from birth to about 2-3.
