This is partly to enable a compact fold and easy storage, and is why travel cots are usually not recommended for permanent overnight sleep.

Most can be used from birth – we’ve specified the manufacturer’s instructions – but the travel cots that have a built-in bassinet offer a cosier, elevated sleep environment for newborns. When testing travel cots, we considered size and weight limits, mattress quality, effectiveness, ease of build/fold, ease of transportation, any extra features or additions, and value the money.

soft mattress makes the travel cot a comfortable and snug place for your child to sleep on a trip or at home.

If you're looking for longevity beyond that, the Venture TravelPod and the Micralite Sleep 'n' Go have a slightly longer lifespan, but will cost you a little more.Once the Babylo 'Liteway travel cot' has been removed from the carry bag you will have it assembled in a few minutes.

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.

But remember, a firm mattress is important for safe sleep for your baby, and doesn’t mean your child won’t be comfortable.She won a The Week Junior Book Award in 2023, her books have been translated into several languages and she's been featured in The Guardian, The Sunday Times and The Sun. Christy, who tested the cot with her tall 2 year old, says: "I loved the fact that the BabyBjorn has no weight limit.
