Mamas and Papas Classic Travel Cot

This travel cot is just what I was looking for. It’s lightweight (just under 8kg), very easy to erect and fold, and quite compact in size. Until now we’ve always been able to borrow a travel cot from a relative, but theirs is now getting a bit ropey and old so we thought it was time to get our own. I checked on dooyoo first and couldn’t find any opinions on this one, but with it being on special offer at kiddicare.com for just £39.99 (no p&p charge) I decided it was worth going for. When you take the travel cot out of the bag, it is wrapped up in it’s base/mattress and holds together with strong velcro straps. You undo those and take ...  Read the complete review

my friend bought me a mamas and papas travel cot about 4 years ago now, she decided i needed one for when my daughter stayed at her house... (i was only pregnant at the time!) and i didnt think i would need one but she went out and bought one for just under £70, with a clip on on top changer and baby accessories holder. This present was the best thing i was bought, it has gone through three children and is in fantastic condition and i still use it now! The cot is very easy to put up and down, you take the cot out of the bag, undo the matress which is wrapped around the cot - (holding it together to fit into the bag and be easy to carry) then you pull up the ...  Read the complete review

My wife and i bought one of these about six months ago for our daughter and already it has had it's fair share of use. We paid around £40 for it, i believe it was from argos but can't be sure. i would imagine they're around the same price in most places anyway. The whole thing comes wrapped very neatly inside it's own carry case that unzips down the entire length of the folded cot. The cot itself is surrounded by the mattress (so no need to buy a separate one!) which is held in place by strong velcro straps. Undo the 3 straps and it comes away. The instructions for erecting and folding the cot are actually printed on the reverse of the mattress, ...  Read the complete review

I was given this travel cot by another member of my family. It certainly has been useful especially for trips to the Grandparents. When it was new it cost £70 but you can pick them up now for much less about £30. I like the look of this travel cot as it is traditional in shape and therefore very easy to find mattresses to fit. Also handy for the bedding too. It is sturdy, high quality and has a nice rounded design.However it is supposed to be very easy to travel with and I do not find this the case- it is very heavy. Which is a bit of a downside. Also unlike most other travel cots the mattress folds up with the cot this one does not and you have to carry it ...  Read the complete review

This is a fantastic travel cot. It does exactly what you need without having to pay for unnecessary frills that some have. It can be put up and collapsed in less than 30 seconds. We are used to travel cot erection and know that some are easier than others. When we decided to buy our own (instead of borrowing the grandparents) we found a good deal on Argos for a Winnie the Pooh cot which was half price to £35. Bargain we thought but when we got it home we could not erect it at all and it was really flimsy so returned it and apparently Argos has had lots returned for the very same reason. That explains why it's half price! Where we live the Mamas and Papas ...  Read the complete review
