Going somewhere with your baby? Well deserved if you ask us, given the past 9 months you’ve just endured!

And by no means are we trying to deter you from your safe travels with your little one, but tending to the baby’s needs such as their eating, sleeping and changing diapers while on a trip can be quite challenging for the first time.

So, we’re here to help by answering your questions about baby travel cots. Questions like what a travel cot is, how to put up a travel cot, and how to fold a travel cot. Get these bits done right, and you’ll be set for a full and restful night’s sleep for both baby and you.

must have travel essentials

Unavoidably, you might find yourself stressing over the essentials to bring and how to cater to their needs. Little things can pile on the stress, such as baby food packs, bottle sterilization, extra supplies and the all-important necessities for a good nights night’s sleep.

Babies spend most of their time sleeping, so a good quality sleep should be one of your main priorities here. How do we achieve this seemingly simple task? You got it – a good travel cot

As we all know, whenever babies feel discomfort or dissatisfaction, they can cry a lot. And let’s face it, no parent wants a screeching baby the whole holiday (can you imagine…)

Luckily, there are lightweight, portable travel cots available that can help solve the whole sleeping conundrum for your little one, which in turn will lead to a happier baby, where everyone can enjoy the baby’s laughter instead of the tears.

Sounds good right? Pull up a seat and let’s get to it.

What is a travel cot?

The travel cot is a product made for babies to sleep in and parents usually call it sent from heaven as it is very convenient to use. There are different kinds of travel cots to choose from depending on the level of need. And these are a standard travel cot, a pop-up travel cot and a bassinet travel cot. A standard travel cot has a collapsible frame and removable mattress.

It can be also be used as a playpen and suitable for babies and toddlers. And the pop-up travel cot is the smaller one that instantly pops up into a bed and can be folded for easy carriage. It is best for smaller and lighter babies. Lastly, the bassinet travel cot is like the two other kinds but much smaller and softer, which is best for newborn babies.

If you’ve chosen the standard travel cot, the next question is, how to set up the travel cot? It’s just quick and easy. Whether you are familiar with it, heard about it or are just a beginner and don’t know where to start. We’ll cover a step by step guide on how to put up a travel cot, how to fold a travel cot, as well as how to put it back down again.

3 different baby travel cots

How to put up a travel cot

Let’s get started. Firstly, let’s get the travel cot out of the bag. Now, considering the wide range of different models here, you may need to slightly adapt the below to your own. Every travel cot will come with a set of safety instructions, so please make sure you follow these, too.

But, as I know from experience, not every set of instructions comes as easy to follow as you’d hoped for. So our instructions for how to put up a travel cot might just save the day;

  • Place it on a flat surface – Firmly place it on the floor. Making sure that it’s a flat surface makes it be easier for you to set it up. Hold and gather all the four-leg corners in the middle. To know that you get it right, you can see the circle with a pull cord in the middle.
  • Open the top – By using both of your hands, spread the four-leg corners simultaneously, pushing them towards their direction and exposing the circle in the middle of the cot.
  • Pull up the sides – All at once, pull up the sides. Do the opposite sides together. The longer sides first and then the shorter sides. Make sure that they clicked in.
  • Push the circle down in the middle – By using your palm, push the circle down and flatten the surface. You’ll be able to see where you put the mattress cot, covering the circle in the middle. After that, you’re done!

Now pat yourself on the back for a task well accomplished!

Err, so how do we get this thing back down again…

how to put down a travel cot

How to put down a travel cot

  • Pull the circle up in the middle – After removing the mattress cot off the bedding, you’ll see the circle in the middle with a pull cord. Pull it up. Make sure to hold the leg corner sides.
  • Unclick buttons on both side s – You’ll see that buttons are placed on both sides, usually on the longer sides of the travel cot. Unclick the buttons and make sure you unclick them on both sides at the same time. To check if you’ve done it correctly if you did it right, it should look sloppy and make a “U” shape.

Note: If you won’t click it properly, the legs won’t meet even if you try to push them together. So, see to it that when you put down and put up the travel cot, move it to the opposite side, it should be at the same time.

We also found the below video super helpful before we came fully accustomed to my own baby travel cot.

So, now that you know how to set up a travel cot, you will save a lot of time, effort and stress if those pesky instructions are like a foreign language to you. In turn, this means good quality sleep for the baby, good quality sleep for you…and a thoroughly enjoyable trip for everyone involved.

…Other guests included.

Enjoy every moment, and have a truly fantastic holiday with the family!

How to put up a travel cot

How to put up a travel cot

You've spent the day travelling with your family, you're exhausted and ready for sleep, but all that remains is to get everyone ready for bed. But wait...how do you put up a travel cot?

We know that putting together baby gear is rarely as simple as it's made out to be, so to make your life easier, we've pulled together instructions on how to put up a travel cot for four of the most popular travel cots on the market.

You'll notice that while most are pretty similar, some differ slightly and even offer the option of a newborn bassinet.

Bugaboo Stardust Travel Cot

Take the travel cot out of the bag.

Release the buttons on the side and unfold.

To set up the newborn bassinet

Take out the mattress.

Zip in the bassinet.

Attach the velcro straps to the mattress and place the mattress in the bed.

Baby Bjorn Travel Cot Light

Open the bag. Lift out the cot.

Hold the two short sides. Turn the cot so its legs are towards the floor and unfold it with one clear movement so that the legs unfold.

Make sure that each leg is securely in place by trying to push it back into its folded position without pulling the leg.

Place the mattress inside the cot. Pull the four red strap loops on the underside of the mattress cover through the holes in the bottom of the cot. Fasten each loop to a red hook.

BabyDan Travel Cot

Unzip the bag and remove the travel cot and stand the unit upright. Separate two velcro labs.

Remove the mattress pad and separate the four corner posts.

Lift the side rails upwards from the middle until each locks into position. Side rails must be raised above the horizontal position before they lock.

Push the centre support until it locks into position.

Lay mattress pad on the floor of the travel cot, soft side up. The middle velcro lab in both ends of the mattress are to put through the two holes in the cot and attached to the velcro under the cot.

Nuna Sena Aire

To open the travel cot frame, unfasten hook and loop straps from the mattress and unfold.

Pull the short sides of the travel cot frame outward.

Reach through the bassinet and push down on the center hub at the bottom of the travel cot.

To set up the bassinet, install the mattress soft side up.

To set up the Nuna Sena Aire Travel Cot

Remove the mattress from the bassinet. Remove the 4 snaps on the bassinet fabric from the snaps at the center of each side of the travel cot.

Release the 4 buckles on the four corners of the travel cot. Once the buckle is separated, remove long strap from the loop on the travel cot.

Remove the bassinet from the travel cot.

Place the mattress on the bottom of the Travel cot.

Feeding the straps on the corners through the holes. Fasten the hook and loop. Repeat on other corners.

How to put up a travel cot + and help collapse a stuck travel cot in SECONDS

How to put up a travel cot

HELP! The travel cot side is stuck! Help! The travel cot won’t stay up! Ahhhhhhh the travel cot won’t collapse! I think it’s broken!

Sound familiar? Are you currently stuck with one of these problems, or any travel cot issue? Well, this is a post is for you! I’ve done a quick video to show you how to put your travel cot up, down, and unstick the sides… basically answering all those pesky problems that make them so irritating…

After 5 years of travel cots and using many different ones, either cots we’ve owned or in cottages or caravans on holiday, I can confirm this how many difference branded travel cots work – all the same . So if your travel cot is a Mothercare, Babystyle, Joie, Red Kite, ….. or some other brand most of these work the same way and get stuck in the same way… this is how to get your travel cot up, make the sides stay up, get it down, and make those sides click and unclip.

How to put up a travel cot

  • Click the sides together – pull them up so they are ridged, both halves of the side should clunk in straight. Do opposite sides together, if you can. It should form a rectangle.
  • Push the middle down (in the base) – make sure the legs can move out as you do this (lifting a side in the corner can help).

How to take down a travel cot

It’s basically the opposite of putting it up!

  • Pull the middle up from the base (use the loop). It will probably fall over as you do this so hold a side!
  • Unclip the sides – squeeze the catch in the middle of each side so the sides are floppy and swing! Do opposite sides together so you know it’s even!

Let me know if this helps, and if you prefer to read the instructions I’ve popped a guide at the bottom of this post.

Have you had the same travel cot struggles as us? Let me know in the comments, and if this helped too!

Travel cot is stuck, travel cot instructions to put up and fold travel cot

Our struggle was real and that’s why I’ve been meaning to write this for years: we have battled with the travel cot so many times when H was little, before we really got to grips with it. Basically, putting up a travel cot is easy when you remember the knack but putting one up and down is something none of us do often. Many a time, we’d arrive late desperate to get the cot up for a sleepy baby/toddler and there would be me saying “YOU DO IT!” to the husband when I just couldn’t get the side to stay up.

You might remember I started this blog to be helpful for instance blogging about how we fix the Perfect Prep temperature warning light in a heatwave, or how to keep a toddler’s hat on… well this is one I’ve had on my list for years. How to put up a travel cot and take it down, including how to make the side click, and how to get it back down when it just won’t collapse.

I hope this helps if you’re stuck with your travel cot, a side not going up or down, or just the whole cot stuck up. Let me know in the comments below if it helped, and share with your friends if you like it!
