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!

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!

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.

    • Copleston centre hire for adult parties 
    • Most churches rent out halls for children's' parties but rarely adult parties, Christ Church only does afternoon parties,   The East Dulwich Community centre hires out halls to 9 pm only and all music needs to be on a sound restrictor as is in a residential area. St Johns with St Clements have a small hall but not sure if they allow adult parties. Nunhead Green has a newish community centre with a couple of different size halls. Most places seem to charge around £40 ph  with a deposit of £100/200 (returned if no damage or excess cleaning needed.
    • Hello, Recently there have been various comments made on the forum which have resulted in heated discussions being had. I for one, hold up my hand and wanted to personally thank whoever is keeping the forum going.. remember when it was likely to close. We are all adults and should known when it is right to continue or just ignore or if really feel it necessary comment via pm. I have had a long relationship with the forum and have bought, sold, offered advice and in deed made friends on the forum over the years. It is a public forum after all and everyone is entitled to express their opinion and is also free. I am not as tech minded as most but with the season of good will approaching and-knowing in this economic climate how many people are  struggling, I  thought it would be a lovely idea, to perhaps set up a just giving page to raise funds for a local charity who might appreciate a contribution towards their Christmas festivities… On a practical side, might just be to complicated to administer as I am sure all have charities that we support so my other thought was not me, as I am useless but to set up a just giving page and whatever monies are raised, perhaps contribute to the festivities that use to be run by local shops or whatever.. Maybe even use a local church hall and just make it special for perhaps folk that find it difficult to access events or no access for say wheel chair users.. guess really, one is looking for guidance from the church and of course volunteers. Shoot me down if you must or feel the need but this is my view and no, sadly I won’t be around in the months before Christmas but can help remotely.
