Red Kite Black Sleep Tight Travel Cot

Product Information

Christina Rolles from safe sleep charity The Lullaby Trust says: “A travel cot should have a rigid frame and base, and a firm, flat mattress, covered in a waterproof material.

Overall, the cot is smaller in size than some other options, but that means it folds up smaller too. Coming in at only 6kg, this is one of the lightest travel cots on our list, and also one of the most affordable. Along with the ease of assembly, the built-in mattress is what you pay for with this model: it's not only comfortable but can be adjusted to two height positions (with the newborn insert) making it easier to lift out newborns and babies not yet sitting up unaided. They rely on a number of sources, including our independent reviews, testing undertaken during the MadeForMums Awards, and feedback from our home testing panel and Top Testers Club.The brand known for stylish baby products won't disappoint parents on the go, with a sleek silhouette, premium-feeling fabrics and excellent functionality.

This was a concern of mine after we had set it up, but we had only realised just how uncomfortable it must have been when testing it on our family holiday in the Peaks. If you're looking for a travel cot that will do double or even triple duty, this could be the product for you. Setting up this pop-up travel cot was a total breeze, despite how tall and strudy it is once erected.It conveniently folds back down in the same amount of time, too, although it is worth noting this model folds down to a large flat shape, like a suitcase, making better suited to sliding into a car boot or under a bed than taking on public transport. As with the other cots on test, our tester, Ruth's, 18-month-old put the Sleeptight through its paces to ensure it did not topple over or become easily damaged over time – he rolled around inside it, bounced up and down with gusto, and his older siblings also tugged at (and pushed against) the sides from the outside. However, it doesn’t come with a carry bag, which would have made it easier to keep clean and compact. The PopUp is the latest offering from the Chicco Next2Me range and is a great option for parents who will be travelling with their young baby a lot in the first 6 months.
