VELANO travel cots — sleep and play on the go
A travel cot is a versatile solution for trips, visits to grandparents and everyday life in smaller apartments where every bit of free space counts. A quality travel cot with a changing table combines a sleeping space for a newborn, a play zone and a convenient nappy-changer in one folding frame, so you don't have to buy these items separately. When choosing a cot-playpen, pay attention to the rail height, a second base level for infants, a side entry, wheels with brakes and a mosquito net. Every model in the range is made from safe, breathable materials and folds down into a compact carry bag in under a minute, so a VELANO travel cot is well worth buying even if you move often or travel a lot with your baby.
Before you buy, we recommend reading our detailed guide on how to choose a travel cot — it explains the difference between models by age, weight and use case, and shows what to look for in the specifications. If you are looking for a standalone play area without a sleeping space, browse the baby playpens category, and for road safety, see the VELANO car seats. We offer shops and wholesale buyers a profitable partnership on our partner page: wholesale, dropshipping and ready-made content for marketplaces.
FAQ
How is a travel cot different from a regular cot?
A travel cot is a folding frame that combines a sleeping space and a play zone and packs into a compact bag in about a minute, whereas a regular cot is stationary and doesn't fold. A travel cot is lighter, more mobile and often includes a changing table, a second level and wheels. It's ideal for trips and small apartments where space matters.
From what age and up to what age is a travel cot suitable?
A travel cot is suitable from birth up to about 3 years. For newborns you use the upper second level (a raised base) that keeps the baby higher and makes care easier. Once the child starts sitting and standing, you remove the second base and lower it, where the higher rails securely hold an active toddler.
Is a travel cot convenient for travelling?
Yes, a travel cot is built for travel: it folds into a compact bag in about a minute, weighs little and fits easily into a car boot. On trips to grandparents, the countryside or on holiday, your child gets a familiar place to sleep, while parents have peace of mind that the baby sleeps in a safe, clean space.
What do the changing table and second level add to a travel cot?
The changing table is a removable nappy-changer on top that saves parents' backs and lets you change the baby at a comfortable height without a separate dresser. The second level (raised base) lifts a newborn higher, so care is easier and the baby stays a safe distance from the floor. Both parts come off as the child grows.
How do you fold and unfold a travel cot?
To unfold, spread the side walls until the locks click, then press the centre of the base down so the frame locks in place. To fold, first pull the centre of the base up, then fold the side walls inward and zip the bag. The whole process takes about a minute; details are in each model's PDF manual.
