The Solution to Safe Sleep While Travelling

If you’re a parent who’s often on the move, it’s important to make sure you have a reliable travel cot to ensure your little one can have the safest and sweetest dreams, wherever you may go.

The best travel cots should be light, compact, and easy to fold down into a carry case to help with transport. You can bring your travel cot with you on all kinds of adventures, from family holidays to days out, to a trip to the Grandparent’s. Having a travel cot will give you peace of mind as a parent that whatever the destination, there will always be somewhere safe and cosy for your little one to get some sleep.

To celebrate our Safe Sleep Week at NBS, let us introduce you to a few of our favourite road-trip travel cot companions.
