• Weekend trips and holidays

• Day naps at a friend or family’s home

• Sleepovers at grandparents

• Extra sleeping space at home

• Safe playpens during the day

Look for models with removable bassinets if you have a newborn, or adjustable base heights for growing babies.

Each cot in our collection is foldable and comes with a carry case or travel bag, making it perfect for boot space, airport travel, or public transport. Despite their compact storage size, they open into full-length, safe sleeping areas for your baby or toddler.
