If
you and your family are ones for travelling, either visiting friends
and relatives or enjoy getting away for weekends and have a young baby
then a baby travel cot is the ideal purchase. Baby travel cots are
portable and can be quickly and easily folded away and assembledWhat should you be looking for in a Baby Travel Cot?1.
The ease with which it folds away and can be assembled is the first
important feature. One of the main benefits of baby travel cots is
the ability to set it up fast and when finished with take it apart for
easy storing and portability
2.
Does it have wheels, this is a great additional feature allowing you to
move the cot, without disturbing the babies sleep
3.
Size – Many travel cots are large enough to double
as a play pen, a great additional feature for no extra cost. Something
else to consider is the bedding. Baby
travel cots tend to be smaller than standard Cots, however
the larger the Cot the more the opportunity to use the standard Cot
bedding rather than having to buy separate travel cot sheets. If you do
need to purchase travel cot sheets then there are a number of places on
and offline where these can be obtain. Its worth noting that some of
the more popular travel cots will have fitted sheets specifically for
them which can be purchased separately, a good example of this are the
Graco travel cots
4.
Weight – How heavy is the cot when packed away. If your
travelling by car this probably isn’t the most essential
feature, however if you tend to travel by public transport then a
lightweight travel cot is well worth consideration.
5.
Carry case – to make portability easy its essential the
travel cot comes with a carry case
6.
Mattress – the first thing to check for is whether a mattress
is actually included, if so it will tend to be a foam one, so the
thickness should then become a deciding factor
7.
Price – When considering how much your going to pay for a
travel cot, you must consider two points, the first is the quality and
the features you want to cot to have and the second is how often are
you going to use it. If its frequently then its worth paying that extra
bit for the better quality, however if its only going to be on a few
occasions then the price should be carefully considered.
