Graco Contour Electra Travel Cot

Our daughter is now 14 months and has used her travel cot as her main cot since birth. As we live in a 2-bedroom house and already had 2 boys sharing one room, we wanted something that she could use in our room for a while, that wouldn't get in the way too much, whilst still giving her room to grow. Graco's Contour Electra was perfect. It looked really stylish with its contoured design, and nicely padded top rails, and the mesh sides meant that baby ...
...which we used as a crib when she was small, with an integral nightlight and a vibrating mattress and music centre to help soothe her to sleep. And a toy bar to keep her amused when she was awake. Baby had plenty of room for sleeping or playing, and it also doubled as a changing unit. It could be packed up or moved out of the way easily when needed, and was also handy for travel. ** THE MAIN COT ** ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ As the main travel cot, it is ...

Review of Graco Contour Electra Travel Cot

My parents bought a Graco Contour Electra travel cot (bit of a mouthful I know!) to keep at their house for those times when my little monkey became too much of a handful & had to be sent off to Grandma's for a reprieve for mummy... I was shocked that they had spent so much money (£100) on something that would only be used infrequently - I fully expected them to buy something basic instead. However, now that the cot has actually been used a few times ...
...cost was well worth it. This cot is perfect for my parents since they are (quite!) old & not as flexible as they used to be. The mattress can be used in 2 height positions, so that whilst my son is a baby, they don't have to over-stretch to lift him in & out. Also, there is a sturdy changing mat which straddles the cot, allowing them to carry out nappy changes at a comfortable height. The mat is well padded & wipe clean, & has a safety strap which ...

Review of Graco Contour Electra Travel Cot

i bought the contour electra duluxe ine geometric design after considering lots of other travel cots. i decided to get this one as i think it looks very stylish and had been told that the matteress seemed very comfy. i managed to find it on a website(presious little ones) for £106 so the top of the range for nearly the price of the standard version! it arrived quickly and i soon was putting it together. it took a little while to initially set up ...
...and down! the matress is lovely and came with a protecter. the bassinett just pops in and out and takes a lot of weight i have caught myself leaning on it a few times! its very sturdy i will be very happy to use it as a play pen once my little monkey is older. the changing station is very handy to store things but a full pack of baby wipes wont fit into the dispenser but the smaller handbag packs should fit. we took our first camping holiday this ...

Review of Graco Contour Electra Travel Cot

...I would definatly recommend the Graco Cot however I am no so sure that everyone will be happy to pay the price for this version and i have been told by friends that the next model down that does not have the music, light or vibrating mattress is also great but alot cheaper. I got mine from Babiesrus and it was £100 although you can now get them from them for £80 ...

Review of Graco Contour Electra Travel Cot

...one to replace our old graco travel cot which was fine but got a bit dirty. I have had five children of my own and use this for my constant supply of grandchildren. This one was bought on offer from argos at half the RRP, around £50 and we found it a great replacement for the more basic graco travel cot. this one features a inner cot which raises the base so that you can see a smaller baby sleeping. it has a toy moble, which we never used and a ...
...waist height, which we never used. The light and sound and vibrating feature is great and the batteries last for ages. It is a little tricky to get the top bassinet fitted and unfitted but it loosens a little each time you use it. The biggest problem I have with these travel cots is that they are so hard to clean. If you use them as a playpen they get grubby after a while and none of the covers are removeable. Again I have to throw away and replace ...

Review of Graco Contour Electra Travel Cot

We purchased this travel cot with bassinet instead of having a moses basket, we have been totally impressed with it. It seems to be comfortable for the baby and having the bassinet was brilliant when having to pick a newborn baby in and out throughout the night. It folds up compactely and the only disadvantage was that it was quite large when it was in use all the time in our bedroom, however this will probablyu be a benefit when in use as a playpen ...
