Carrycots for Newborns – The Ideal Start for Safe, Cosy Travel

When welcoming a newborn, choosing the right baby gear is key—and a carrycot is one of the most essential pieces for the early months. At Baby Travel, we specialise in carrycots for newborns UK, providing stylish, supportive, and portable solutions to help your baby rest and grow on the go.

What Is a Carrycot?

A carrycot is a bassinet-style unit that provides a lie-flat sleeping surface for babies from birth to around six months. It’s designed to attach to a pushchair, pram, or travel system, turning it into a fully functional and mobile cot. Ideal for newborns who need constant support and a flat surface, carrycots offer a snug and secure environment while allowing parents to remain on the move.

Benefits of Using a Carrycot

• Lie-flat design supports safe spinal and lung development

• Ideal for long walks, naps on the go, and short trips

• Provides a womb-like, enclosed space for comfort and calm

• Easy to carry and transfer without waking baby

• Doubles as a portable bassinet for travel or visiting family

• Shields from weather with hoods, covers, and optional footmuffs

Whether you’re a city parent hopping on the Tube or heading to the countryside for a family break, a carrycot ensures your newborn travels in the safest, most comfortable way possible.
