Travel cots come in a range of styles and fabrics with prices to match. The main thing to consider is that travel cots need to be practical as well as light and safe. When folded they should be compact and transportable in a bag. They can include a ventilated base which may provide added comfort for your baby when sleeping. Some of the more expensive travel cots include a bassinet which hangs from the frame and can be used instead of a moses basket. They may also include a changing unit which will lock onto the top of the travel cot. The sides of the travel cot will be made of a mesh type fabric to aid ventilation and to allow your baby to see out !
