Baby Bed For Travel

By Darren Hartley


Many hotels or holiday homes provide a cot for parents planning to stay with them. At the very least, they make the arrangements for parents to be able to hire a cot. Borrowing a travel baby bed from a network of friends with young children can be an option that is not too hard in lieu of buying one.

Many parents find a lot of uses from a safe travel baby bed. For one, it gives them the freedom to stay almost anywhere they want without needing to worry about where their baby is to sleep. In the likelihood of visiting babies at home, it can provide the needed extra sleeping space.

A travel baby cot that folds flat may not be suitable for travel because it may not fold completely enough to fit the car boot. However, it could still be used as an extra cot for guest babies.

A travel baby bed is not generally designed for very young babies since they do not provide for drop-down sides or adjustable mattress heights. A good alternative would be a soft carrycot or a Moses basket which is just as portable and more suitable for newborns.

Before a Moses basket is used as a travel baby bed, it must be ensured to have a safety catch to prevent it from accidental closing on a parent. A Moses basket normally includes a PVC-covered foam mattress. More often than not, it also provides a canopy or hood, lining and a quilt.

If a carrycot is to be used as a travel baby bed, it might entail the purchase of a mattress more suitable for night time sleeping. Carrycots are not as widely available as Moses baskets. A carrycot that is fairly light must be chosen so there will be no difficulty in the movement of the baby while asleep.
