FAQs
What is the lightest travel cot for flying?
The BabyBjörn Travel Crib Light weighs just 6kg and folds flat into its own carry bag — ideal for UK flights and car trips.
Can I use a travel cot as a permanent bed?
Not recommended. Travel cot mattresses are thinner than standard cot mattresses. They are designed for short-term use on trips and visits.
What age can a baby use a travel cot?
From birth to around 3 years (15kg), depending on the model. Always check the manufacturer's weight and age limits.
