Why choose a travel cot for baby?
The baby travel cot has become essential for families who travel. Lightweight, foldable and easy to transport, it allows your child to sleep in a safe and familiar environment, wherever you are: at grandparents' house, in a hotel or camping.
Key criteria for choosing a baby travel cot
1. Weight and compactness
A good portable baby travel cot should weigh less than 3 kg and fold into a compact carry bag. Check the dimensions when folded to ensure it fits in your suitcase or car trunk.
2. Safety and certifications
Opt for a foldable baby travel cot certified compliant with European standard EN 716. The bars must be spaced sufficiently to prevent baby from getting their head stuck, and the mattress must be firm and well-fitted.
3. Integrated mosquito net
If you are traveling in warm regions or in summer, a baby travel cot with mosquito net is highly recommended. It protects your child from insects without the need for chemicals.
4. Ease of assembly
Choose a model that assembles and disassembles in less than 30 seconds. Some baby travel cots open with a simple gesture, like an umbrella, which is very practical when traveling.
5. Baby's age and weight
Most baby travel cots are suitable for children from 0 to 18 months, up to approximately 15 kg. Always check the weight limits indicated by the manufacturer.
Different types of baby travel cots
