What are the best travel cots to buy in the UK?
Our top pick for Travel Cots in the UK is the Graco Compact Travel Cot with Carrybag.
The Graco Compact Travel Cot suits families who want one travel cot from birth up to 15kg, with easy view mesh to see baby from all sides, a travel bag and a 2 year manufacturer warranty.
The Graco Compact Travel Cot is our top pick among travel cots because its listing states suitability from birth to approx. 3 years (0-15kg), easy view mesh to see baby from all sides, a sturdy base mattress, an included travel bag and a 2 year manufacturer warranty. For a stated mattress size, the My Babiie Travel Cot names a 120cm x 60cm padded mattress and use from birth to 15kg; for a travel cot from birth with full padded top rails, the Red Kite Sleeptight lists a padded mattress and a 1 year warranty.
This guide compares four travel cots from Graco, My Babiie and Red Kite, using what each listing states: age and weight range, mattress, mesh sides, top rails, carry bag and warranty. Stated warranty terms run from 1 year on the My Babiie Grey Elephants and both Red Kite listings to 2 years on the Graco.

Our process
How do we choose our picks?
We don’t lab-test products ourselves. Instead we synthesise current Amazon UK listings and published specs into clear, honest recommendations. We earn a commission if you buy through our links, but that never changes which products we rank.
Current UK availability
We check each pick against live Amazon UK catalogue data rather than last year’s model lists. Stock moves fast, so a listing can sell out after we publish.
Published specs
We compare manufacturer specifications so each pick is right for a real budget and use-case.
UK-specific fit
We factor in UK voltage and plug/fitting standards — details that generic global lists miss.

Editor's Note
The Graco and My Babiie listings give an upper weight of 15kg, while neither Red Kite listing gives an upper age or weight. The My Babiie Grey Elephants title gives a mattress size (120cm x 60cm) and the other three listings do not state one, so confirm the mattress size on the product page before buying spare fitted sheets.
Our Take
Our default pick is the Graco Compact Travel Cot, whose listing states use from birth to approx. 3 years (0-15kg), easy view mesh to see baby from all sides, a travel bag and a 2 year manufacturer warranty. Choose the My Babiie Travel Cot if you want a stated 120cm x 60cm padded mattress, or the Red Kite Sleeptight for a travel cot from birth with full padded top rails.
