Popular with on-the-go parents, travel cots are designed to be used by infants, toddlers and small children. Depending on the child's size and age, these cots can come in various forms such as bassinets, foldable cribs, covered mesh tents and low-to-the-ground beds. Each is designed to be compact and assembles/folds within minutes. Since items are made from fabric and sometimes contain a thin, mesh netting, they are protectively stored in a covered bag.
Baby bassinets, designed to fold and be portable, feature high fabric sides and mesh side windows. The baby is able to lie flat and there are no obstructive surfaces. Infants, unless being able to stand-up, cannot pull-down the sides or panels, as these are located a substantial distance from the baby's arms. When it is time for the baby to graduate from the foldable bassinet, the next size up is the foldable crib.

Making improvements from traditional folding cribs, today's cribs are lightweight and are more compact. Cribs are optimal for infants who can sit-up, stand or roll-over. If you are not sure which type of foldable sleeping solution would work best for your child, be sure to view the item's weight limitations as well as given length and width sleeping measurements. As an alternative, parents may wish to consider purchasing a folding sleeping tent.
Different from typical children's tents, a travel tent intended for sleeping does not have any side slits or Velcro entrances. Ideal for older infants and small toddlers, these have completely mesh sides and allow parents to see children at all times. A smart choice for camping situations or in instances where children may be exposed to bugs, these types of travel cots are ideal for children who are not ready to sleep off the ground. If your child is ready for a low but off-the-ground bed, a foldable cot is a good solution.
Similar to a folding chair, cots designed for travel are quickly assembled and stored. Sometimes also known as "travel beds," these cots come in a variety of colors and character designs. Used for traveling, cots provide a low bed for children who may fall out of a traditional hotel's bed or are ideal for adding an extra sleeping area in an overnight location. Some come with matching sheets, as cots require toddler-sized sheets. Ideal for post-travel use, these are also popular with parents who have their children enrolled in daycare. Designed with young children in mind, travel beds also have washable canvas sleeping areas, making them perfect for children who may have nighttime accidents.
The next time you are traveling with your child, be sure to investigate these portable, space-saving bedding options.
