Short Title: Excellent travel cot
Review:
When this arrived the first thing I noticed was how beautifully soft the fabric was (made you want to rub your face on it lol)
It was so easy to put up (much easier than any travel cot I have used as it clicked into place easily).
It folds down so small and has a handy bag to carry it in so this is so easy to take to stay somewhere else. I have decided with my next baby I am not going to use the moses basket or swinging crib that I used with my other four as this is perfect.
The height is excellent as the mattress is half way down the cot rather than on the floor as with normal ones.
It has a huge amount of storage pockets on it to store nappies etc and has a zip up area underneath for keeping sheets or anything else you might need.
Because of the way it is put together and there is a gap leading down to the underneath pocket I could even use it with my angelcare monitor (where I have the sensor under the mattress)
My son also seemed happy to play in it during the day and it is lovely to take out in the garden while the others are playing. It has wheels on which makes it simple to move around and it is very lightweight.
This travel cot is a very reasonable price coming out at about the same as you would pay for a moses basket and stand but it will last you much longer.
There are only two downsides I found to this however one was quite a serious one. The first was the colour could get grubby quite easily and the covers are not removeable for washing. The more serious one though is that the mattress doesn’t attach to the actual cot and a few times when my son was throwing a paddy it tipped sideways so he fell down onto the fabric beneath it. There is a gap in this fabric leading down to the underneath section and he could easily have fallen right through which is one thing that would put me off using it.
However I would say that this might be more because my son was premature so he is still small at 7.5 months and maybe a newborn wouldn’t have the strength to move the mattress like that.
All in all I loved this though and would definitely recommend it.
