Chicco Baby Folding Bed Goodnight Choice of Colours

Product Information

The foldable travel cot packs down into a neat carry case with padded shoulder straps and a waist belt for easy transportation, and we love how compact it is, not to mention easy to set up, which is a real bonus when there’s unpacking to be done.

I would have liked to know beforehand that the rocking function can’t be used while it is attached to the bed – although due to safety considerations around co-sleeping, I gather this is standard. Chicco is ideal for giving your kids that little bit of added independence all the while keeping them safe. If you're looking for a travel cot that will do double or even triple duty, this could be the product for you.The colours are stylish and neutral, and the built-in barrier safety feature is very impressive- and works. Suitable from: birth (with bassinet) to approx 3 years old | Travel cot weight: 7kg | Unfolded dimensions: L112cm x W80cm x H67cm | Folded dimensions: L88cm x W34cm x H17cm | Newborn bassinet: Yes (optional purchase) | MFM Review Star Rating: 4. MFM Consumer and Reviews Editor Christy commented: "It's so easy to set up, which is really useful if you forget how between holidays, or are asking a grandparent to help. Whether you're looking for something safe for a newborn, or a roomy cot for an older toddler, you'll find it here. Well, yes, you do, they're just as essential as the best car seats and best suitcases, and luckily there are so many incredible new designs that hitting the road with your littlest is that little bit easier.

After watching the video, attaching the Next2Me Forever crib to the bed is easy, but involves a great deal of strength.The mesh means that you can get a great view of your baby or toddler, while also ensuring good air circulation at night time. The instructions to build are a series of illustrations showing how to construct the crib, followed by another series of images showing how to attach it to a bed. The Graco Contour Electra comes bursting with added extras, including practical additions like a cot-top changing unit, and fun ones like the mobile and battery-operated unit that plays tunes and vibrates the cot. He was also impressed with the durability, saying, "I’m really impressed with the quality of the build, despite the ‘sticky’ mechanics. It's not the most compact travel cot when it's assembled and is still quite large when it's folded — it's wide and square, which may be awkward to transport in smaller car boots.

It’s a bit fiddly and not something you really want to be doing every day, so it would probably be pertinent to invest in a waterproof fitted sheet to stretch over the mattress, particularly if you have a sick baby or if you’re at the potty-training stage. The cheapest cot on our list, the Red Kite Sleeptight Travel Cot is a great choice if you're looking for an affordable but sturdy option. The mattress has been designed in conjunction with paediatric specialists to provide the best support possible, but the only problem is that it’s at floor level, so if you have shorter arms, bear in mind it might take some effort, or the help of a taller family member. This includes a changing mat that can stay attached but out of the way, high and low sleeping positions (reducing back strain), a zip-down side panel for a fun playpen adventure (crawl in – crawl out) and a fun design with pops of colour.They are also useful for people with limited space at home or whose home is not suitable for overnight stays. For example, if the travel cot will be used for overnight stays at relatives or friends every month, you won’t need to worry too much about weight and the ease of assembly – especially if it can remain constructed. The Chicco Next2Me Magic is so versatile that it’s suitable for anyone with a baby under six months, regardless of whether you want to use it for co-sleeping or not. I was worried at first about using it as a standalone cot, but once it was put together, I could see that it was sturdy and didn’t need to be strapped to the bed to feel safe. The Chicco Next2Me Forever features a patented safety locking barrier that only stays down when the crib is properly attached to the parent’s bed.

The frequency and location of where you’ll use it will help when considering weight, functionality and budget. You have to pull the straps out and around your bed frame simultaneously before clipping them together underneath the back of the crib.Baby travel cots are perfect for parents who want to carry their little one on a plane, bus, or even train. One of the selling points of this cot is that it can be moved around thanks to the supporting legs that slide in and out, making it easier to fit through doorways, and the fully rotating wheels with brakes. Weight — Travel cots vary significantly in weight - we found some that are under 7kg and others that weigh in at a hefty 11kg.
