Comparing Travel Cots

Compare our range of portacots with this easy to follow guide. We get lots of enquiries about which is the 'best'! In reality, which is best depends on what you'll use it for most. Here's a summary to help you decide which travel cot is best for you. Watch the videos to see how quick and easy assembly is.

Our travel cot selection features options designed for use with babies and toddlers up to around 2.5 years, 89cm tall (check each portacot for specifics) or when they attempt to climb out of the travel cot, whichever is earlier.

Drift Travel Cot

Our Drift Travel Cot has been designed with parents in mind. Quick to assemble and easy to pack down, the Drift takes away some of the stress of holidays with babies! It comes with legs attached, you just need to open and click the legs into place. The mattress has a firm base and lightly cushioned top, just pop it into the travel cot. There are 6 velcro tabs to secure the mattress in place to make it extra safe. The sides are mesh to the ground, which is a requirement of the safety standard to ensure it is fully breathable. The Drift meets the NZ/AU Safety Standard for travel cots.

It has been designed with parents in mind...quick to assemble and easy to pack down, the Quest takes away some of the stress of holidays with babies and toddlers. The mattress has a firm base and lightly cushioned top, just pop it into the portacot - there are velcro tabs to secure the mattress in place to make it extra safe.  Designed for use with children up to 15kg, 90cm tall or when they attempt to climb out of the portacot, whichever is earlier. The sides are mesh to the base of the Quest, which is a requirement of the safety standard to ensure it is fully breathable. The bassinet is simple to set up - insert the support tubes in the sleeves, attach the bassinet into the cot with the zip then simply add the mattress (the same one used for the portacot) and secure it to the portacot using the velcro tabs.

Phil and Ted's Traveller V5

Assembly is still straight-forward and relatively quick with the V5 Traveller but give yourself an extra 5-10 minutes or so to get the Traveller unpacked. The Traveller packs up small and has the added benefit that you can choose to take just the bassinet or just the cot options, to lighten your load.
