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

Product Information

Merida is an original side-sleeping crib, created and designed to allow you to sleep next to your baby without sharing the same bed, as recommended by the baby experts. The simple assembly is also excellent in theory – if the mechanics were ‘smoother’ and more effective. Make sure it isn’t damaged or broken, that the frame is intact and that there aren’t any sharp edges that could cause injury. Zip in the newborn insert to create a bedside crib suitable from birth until approximately 6 months old. 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.

A unique feature of the kubbie™ Sleep that our tester was impressed by is that when your baby is in the bassinet, you can tuck the cot close to your bed and adjust the height of the crib so that it acts like a co-sleeper. Ruth looked at how much space the cot took up in a room – did it slot in easily, and was it more suited to indoors or outdoors? While many travel cots either come without a mattress or ship with a thin, uncomfortable bit of material, the Bugaboo Stardust comes with a built-in, multi-layered mattress that’s lightweight and comfortable. Travel safe, sleep sound – Easy to pack and go cot, folds compactly, stows in the handy travel bag and helps you travel safe and sound.This lightweight, easy-to-use travel cot impressed our parent tester for a number of reasons – as you'd expect for one of the most expensive option on our list. You can access it via a QR code on the instruction leaflet included, and it’s very simple to follow along. It isn’t a huge problem, but note that this travel cot doesn’t come with a bassinet attachment – so, if you’re short, placing a 10kg child down into it can prove tricky. You might even find it lighter than your nappy bag, which is a win if you’re carrying a lot of other luggage for your trip.

If you’re using this as a playpen, you’ll also appreciate that one of the sides unzips, so tots can crawl in and out.

Along with the ease of assembly, the built-in mattress is what you pay for with this model: it's not only comfortable but can be adjusted to two height positions (with the newborn insert) making it easier to lift out newborns and babies not yet sitting up unaided. We’ve found ourselves using the BabyBjörn for the odd night away and this fantastic travel cot for longer holidays.
