Samsonite Pop-up Bubble Travel Cot

...product follows on from the Samsonite Pop-Up Travel Cot (which I have also reviewed). It is a brilliant, innovative product and was one of the first of its kind on the market. It has won various awards including the Baby Gear Gold Award 2005 and the Mother & Baby Gold Award Best Travel Item 2005/6, which it fully deserves. When our daughter became too large for the Samsonite Pop-Up Travel Cot (she was just over 8 months), our first port of call, ...
...the next product in the Samsonite range. We were keen to avoid conventional/traditional travel cots as they a) tend to be bulky to store and/or put in the car boot when travelling (even those so called 'compact' ones which are still the size of a large golf bag when folded down), b) take up a lot of room when assembled and c) have sides which are too high so cause difficulty when bending over to place a sleeping child in the bed - this is a big ...

Review of Samsonite Pop-up Bubble Travel Cot

Overview I bought this travel cot for my daughter after borrowing a friends smaller version and marvelling at the smallness. We travel around the country visiting friends and going on holiday a fair amount but our standard travel cot is very large and bulky.

Review of Samsonite Pop-up Bubble Travel Cot

Having a new baby was shock enough but then the weight of other travel cots kicked in.. In my opinion this lightweight, easy to assemble and practical little cot was a real find. Advantages: Size and weight It came from a personal recommendation and I was convinced when i saw it in the shop. Firstly, it was light. Other travel cots claimed to be portable but for a small framed person like me I personally found them very heavy and cumbersome to carry. ...
...not break the luggage allowance. Advantages: Portability and Practicality If you need something to take on public transport and then holiday, this has to be a really good bet. The mesh covering acts as an insect/mosquito net and surrounds the baby so that no 'nasties' can get in. The mattress is removable and washable, although you might want to get5 an extra piece of foam cut to give a bit of extra padding. My baby found it snug and comfortable ...
