The mattress is raised from the ground which Hollie liked because it meant that Margot wouldn’t feel the draughts or any cold coming up through the floor. ‘The fold up mattress is one of the softer versions I've used, but like a lot of travel cots it's still pretty firm. The underside of the mattress is also really solid when it is folded up around the cot, so I'd have no worries that any parts would get damaged while travelling.’ Value for money The next step for us is to look at the products in the Travel cots category.

Quality, as you’d imagine is one of the most important considerations for buying any products. This is especially true for Travel cots. While lugging an extra bed around might sound like a faff, if you’re staying in a hotel, visiting friends or camping with a baby in tow and chaos reigns, once you've popped up your travel cot you will breathe a sigh of relief. Babies love routine, especially when it comes to bedtime. The safe confines of a portable crib will provide a comfortable and familiar place to put your tired infant wherever you might be in the world, so everyone can get a better night's kip. This is a mid-range travel cot that, considering its price, comes with a surprising number of extras. ‘The price isn't particularly budget and, although you get a lot for your money, I'd say there are many much cheaper travel cots out there,’ says Hollie. The fact that it is a large size and doubles as a playpen is a bonus though. It's a brilliant investment for new parents as it'll last you from newborn (the bassinet takes babies up to 6.5kg) until your little one is at least three years old (depending on their height and weight!). ‘This travel cot would suit parents who look for easy-to-use products that are all about functionality rather than looking particularly stylish,’ added Hollie.
