The quick fold is designed for speed, while 'Home Fold' is ultra-thin at just 26cm wide - perfect for storing away at home. The convenience, portability, and attention to detail in these cots make them a must-have for any dad on the move. An over-the-shoulder carry bag comes included but it is less sturdy than other holdalls we’ve tested, and one side is partially open, due to its drawstring closing, which didn’t feel as secure.

The built-in changing table with a convenient storage compartment makes diaper changes a breeze, while the removable toy bar keeps your little one entertained. Whether used at home, at the grandparents' or as a playpen, a travel cot can be a familiar place for your baby to sleep, wherever they are.

While some hotels and Airbnbs promise to provide travel cots for the tiniest members of the family, you’ve no idea how many children have slept on them before your little darlings, or predict what that means for how comfortable and sturdy they are. Items are always too big, too heavy or a flash in the pan phenomenon that keeps children occupied and happy for a day or two. The base is one of the lowest to the ground on our list, making it a good option for using as a playpen. It comes with an optional mattress and fitted sheet for added comfort and folds up easily with the handy side buttons.

I think the mattress is good and comfy, I worry slightly that it has no structure poles to keep it completely flat at the bottom of the cot, but I think that would then add to the weight of the product.
