In a nutshell
The Phil and Teds Traveller Travel Cot is lighter than baby. Ideal at home or on the move, indoors or outdoors, for sleeping or playing.
Super light and super compact at a time. It slips even under the stroller, in a luggage compartment or in the trunk of a car.
A significant benefit for all parents who know that traveling with a baby is a real move.
The assembly is simple but necessary fast. Watching the instruction video help speeding up the process.
Large zipper mesh openings allow total ventilation of the bed. A double opening: on the top and on the side, to transform the crib into a park to discover.
It is even possible to completely close the bed … a way to protect baby from insects and pets.
The mattress is self-inflating, thermal insulation, anti-humidity and heat regulator. A double bottom allows to insert and protect the mattress.
The materials are resistant to external use, the product has even been tested in altitude … what to enjoy the good air of the mountain with baby.
And for summer releases, it is possible to replace the top mesh opening with a UV protection mesh (sold separately)

The self-inflating mattress is very practical but to make it more comfortable, I inflate it more.

The price tag can put you off and it’s fiddly to assemble the first time.
The mattress does not seem to lay flat at times and may require some additional air to bring it to the right level for your child.
