BABY TRAVEL COTS |
| Parents of small children often feel they need an truck or van for their baby's equipment, even if they are only going away for a weekend. Going on holiday means even more gear. |
| Travelling by plane |
| The cots provided by the plane companies (mostly for long haul flights) are recommended for babies under six months. Although young children often complain of ear-popping pain, particularly on landing, babies tend not to suffer as their eardrums are still underdeveloped. If your baby does appear to be in pain, giving him or her a dummy to suck on can help. It may also help to breastfeed while the plane is descending – but airlines say you must ensure your child is still strapped in with the specially extended seat belt. |
| Travel Cots |
Many types of travel cot exist depending on the features you require. If you are travelling with a young baby and your pram or combination pushchair comes with a proper carrycot then this can be used for overnight stays or trips away. |

If you are travelling abroad then your carrycot may be to big and bulky to take along, if so then other choices exist. Many firms make “pop up” type for travelling.
For older babies then a more substantial type of fold up cot exists, these simply collapse with a series of buttons and pack away into a bag. These can also be used as playpens and are tested to the relevant British Standard requirements for both uses. Most companies like Mama’s & Papa’s, Chicco and Cosatto sell this type of product in different sizes and specification.
Even if not travelling these are useful for keeping at grandparents for when baby visits or if you are lucky stays the night so you can have a well earned evening off.
