Selecting a cot for your bed A bedside crib will provide your child with the safety and security they need to rest during a long trip. These are great for family excursions or holidays, as well as other activities. The ideal one for you will depend on what you need. Some factors to consider include the type of travel cot you're looking for, how much it weighs and the dimensions. You'll also want to consider whether the cot will fit inside your car, especially when you consider all the other baby gear you will need to carry on the journey. A bedside cot is designed to be movable and easy to install. They're typically lightweight and compact, making them the perfect option for traveling with a baby or young child. They are also simple to put together. They are typically equipped with a mattress that fits perfectly in the crib. This allows your child to get a restful night's sleep. Some of these travel cots have additional features that make them an ideal choice for babies and children. Some travel cots feature an attached changing table to the side, and others come with a bassinet. You can also find some that have wheels, which makes them easier to move around the room. When selecting a bedside cot, make sure you select one that is strong enough to support your baby. This will prevent it from falling over and spilling the baby's food and their stuffed animal on the floor. It's also an excellent idea to select a cot with mesh sides for ventilation to keep your baby cool and happy. Before buying a travel cot it is a good idea to look at the folding system. You don't want a bed that could easily be opened by a baby and cause the death of a child. The most secure beds have an locking mechanism that cannot be easily manipulated by a tiny child. Some models come with buckles to ensure security and stability. Bassinets A portable bassinet or bedside cot is a place to sleep for infants that allows parents to monitor their children. They are suitable for infants between 6 and 6 months old and are a great aid during flights, since they are lightweight, small and take up minimal room. They can also be stowed away with ease when not being used, making them perfect for travelling. Aside from the ease of storage and assembling, bassinets are designed to be safe and comfortable for infants to sleep in. Most are equipped with mesh walls that allow air to circulate freely and reduce the risk of being suffocated. The majority of them come with a carry bag and are made out of non-toxic materials and easy to clean. There are a variety of bassinets on the market however, you must look for one that is appropriate to your baby's size and age. It is also important to look over the reviews and features of any bassinet that you are considering purchasing before making a choice.

Etihad Airways also offers bassinets on its long-haul flights to babies up to 24 pounds. You can request them at the time of booking, or later by using the Manage My Booking feature on the airline's website. Southwest does not provide bassinets on its flights, and Icelandair only has bassinets on certain of its long-haul routes. However, there are some other airlines that do offer bassinets, like Iberia.

These cots are light and come with a carry case. They are great to take on trips or for sleeping at friends or relatives' houses. These cots also come with height adjustment options, and some can be tilted upwards for babies who have reflux. A cot that is placed near the bed makes it easier to reach your baby in case they get up at night. This is especially important for breastfeeding mothers, as the close proximity can aid in promoting more frequent and consistent feeding which is crucial for healthy milk production. Some cribs have a drop-down side and some even have an incline option, which makes it easy to get your baby up to feed and comfort without getting out of bed. While a cot that is a traveler for use at night may be useful, you should always make sure you use it with care. Cots with moving parts, such as the drop-side, must be constructed with care and checked regularly to ensure they're functioning properly. Older cots or second-hand ones could have slats that are loose broken filler bars, or rails that can create dangerous gaps that your child may slip through or become trapped in. Some cots could be older and not comply with current Australian safety standards.
