About this deal
It's wide frame may make placing it in a smaller room a bit tricky, but the up side of this is that is there is more space for your child to grow. As babies often have nappy leaks and spit up milk, we would recommend looking for waterproof, wipe-clean or machine-washable covers when choosing your travel cot mattress. When set up for children other than newborns (in the additional basinet), the mattress is quite low to the floor which makes it a little inconvenient to pick up your baby, but not a big deal if you’re using it occasionally for travel. deep, putting it on a par with most travel cot mattresses but perhaps not up there with the likes of the Bugaboo Stardust.

It also has longevity: while most travel cots have an upper weight limit of 15kg, this one does not, due to the fact the base sits on the floor. Out of all the cots we tested this one impressed us the most because there was no compromise on quality despite the low cost.
Depending on how fussy or sensitive your baby or toddler is, you might decide you need an additional mattress topper or proper mattress for your travel cot. As well as folding up nicely to transport it has a removable waterproof cover that can be washed if needed, and anti-slip rubber printing on the back to help it stay in place. It's robust, quick and easy to assemble and provides a comfortable and safe environment for both sleep and play. Although one of the priciest travel cots on our list, the Stardust can still deliver great value if you’re using your travel cot regularly with your baby.

While it doesn’t use the most premium of materials, the Dreamer felt well put together and there was not anything that would suggest it wouldn’t stand the test of time. Once your baby is old enough, you simply put up the side, drop the mattress down to the base of the cot, and it becomes a generously-sized travel cot and playpen that'll last until the child weighs 15kg. It would slot nicely into a cupboard or in the boot of the car, although it may be too large to take onto a plane as hand luggage. Happy reviewers love the raised sleeping platform to save backache and how easy the cot is to pack up.
Some of the travel cots on our list fold into a long rectangular shape more suited to public transport, others fold flat to fit in a car boot.
