Travel Bed For Baby

By Darren Hartley


A travel baby bed becomes necessary for parents making regular overnight trips to cot-free facilities. It be worth the cost instead to buy a cheap, standard cot should the baby be most likely to stay overnight somewhere on a regular basis, such as the grandparents' house.

The playpen-sized models of a travel baby bed opens up move potential for their regular use. The problem with travel baby beds is their use for only a handful of times. In storage, they can actually take up a fair amount of space when folded. They are indeed portable but they can also be heavy to lug around.

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.

Used as a travel baby bed, a Moses basket can be placed on the floor. An alternative to this would be buying a foldaway stand to place the Moses basket on and situate it next to the parent's bed. This will enable a parent to easily reach the baby in cases of night time feedings.

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.

Features to look out for when purchasing a travel baby bed include ease of use, a bassinet, a changing unit, machine-washable covers, a mesh window and duality in purpose. The latter feature refers to travel cots that can double up as playpens. Extra sturdiness is the quality a parent should look for in this model.
