Travel Cots & Playpens

Our range of Travel Cots & Playpens will help you feel relaxed knowing your little one has a safe and comfortable place to sleep whilst away. When you’re on the go, you need as much help as possible. That’s where travel cots and playpens come into play. You don’t have to worry about the right sleeping space, or whether they’ll have a safe place to play.

It is advisable to get a light playpen, preferably one with wheels to help you lug it around. Playpens should have protective materials all around to prevent injury, and allow for plenty of aeration to regulate the temperature and reduce suffocation.

Frequently asked questions

Do I really need a travel cot or playpen? What's the point?

While not every family needs one, they are incredibly useful for most! Think of them as your portable parenting superhero.

  • For Travel: They provide a familiar, safe, and consistent sleep/play environment for your baby, no matter where you are (grandparents’ house, hotel, vacation rental). This can be a lifesaver for maintaining routines.
  • At Home: They offer a secure, contained space for your baby to play independently while you tackle chores, cook, or simply need a hands-free moment. Some parents use them for naps in different rooms, too.
  • Safety: They keep your baby away from hazards like stairs, electrical outlets, or pet food, especially in unfamiliar environments.

What's the difference between a travel cot and a playpen? Are they interchangeable?

Often, the terms are used interchangeably, and many products serve both functions!

  • Travel Cot (or pack-n-play in some regions): Primarily designed for sleeping, featuring a firm mattress base. They are usually more compact and foldable for portability.
  • Playpen: Primarily designed for safe, contained play. They tend to be larger and might not always include a mattress suitable for extended sleep, though many modern versions do.

The good news: Most modern designs are two-in-one! They come with a firm mattress and sturdy mesh sides, making them perfect for both safe sleep and supervised play. Always check the specific product’s features and recommendations.

The mattress seems so thin/firm. Will my baby be comfortable?

Yes, your baby will be perfectly comfortable! The firmness isn’t about luxury; it’s about safety. As mentioned, a firm, flat sleeping surface is vital for reducing the risk of SIDS. While it might feel hard to an adult, it’s what babies need.

  • Fitted Sheets: Use a soft, breathable, fitted sheet specifically designed for travel cot mattresses for added comfort and hygiene.

How long can my baby use a travel cot/playpen?

This varies by model, but generally:

  • Bassinet Level: Up to around 6 months or when your baby starts to push up, roll over, or sit independently (whichever comes first).
  • Main Cot/Playpen: Until your child reaches the maximum weight limit (often 15-20kg or around 3 years old) or can climb out. Always check the specific manufacturer’s guidelines for your model.

What's one thing I should NOT do with my travel cot or playpen?

Do NOT use the travel cot as a permanent, everyday sleeping solution for your baby. While it’s safe for temporary sleep, a full-sized, sturdy cot/crib designed for daily use is generally recommended for your baby’s primary sleeping space at home. A travel cot is for travel, naps, and supervised play – a fantastic tool, but not a substitute for a dedicated nursery cot.

Investing in a good travel cot or playpen is more than just buying a piece of gear; it’s investing in your flexibility, your peace of mind, and your baby’s safe and consistent environment. Happy travels, and happy parenting!
