Kiddicare are selling this Baby Weavers travel cot in 'Nelly Blue' for £29.99, rather than £69.99.

This Baby Weavers travel cot is suitable from birth to approximately 15kgs or until your little one can stand up. It's quick and easy to assemble which makes it ideal for taking away on holidays or with you when you're visiting relatives.

It comes complete with a padded base and a storage pocket for keeping babies toys.   It's easy to keep clean and store when you're not using it as it comes with its own travel bag.

Now, about that padded base: I've had more than a few dealings with travel cots during my parenting days and whilst they are padded, they're not necessarily the most soft and comfy things in the world, so you'll be well-advised to put a few blankets on top of it.

Kiddicare say they'll provide free deliver on orders over £29.99 - I'm pretty sure that includes orders which ARE £29.99 too - if it doesn't, I'll be extremely disappointed in them and may even consider composing a strongly worded email to their customer care team.

If you've got a young baby and you don't have a travel cot, then BUY ONE!! They are one of the most fabulous inventions ever, as far as I'm concerned.

Unless you're not intending to stay away from home until your littley is much older, OR you're never intending to have them stay over somewhere without you (grandparents are GREAT for that), then you'll need some sort of portable sleeping device.

There are tons of travel cots on the market and prices can vary from reasonable to just plain bonkers - trust me when I tell you, you don't need a travel cot that plays lullabies, comes with all sorts of pointless paraphernalia and threatens to be able to cook the dinner too.

All you need is something simple and straightforward, and this Mothercare Serenity travel cot fits that bill perfectly.

It's suitable from birth to 24 months, packs away into its own travel case, has padded rails, mesh sides so that you can see in and your baby can see out.  It's quick and easy to put up and take down and is definitely good value for money at £39.99 - just be aware that this price is only valid until 30 January.

In-store collection is free, as is UK delivery - so it's up to you which one you choose.

Happy sleeping on the move!

If you're in the market for a travel cot for a young girly, then you must drop into Home Bargains and take a look at the pink Chicco travel cot they currently have on sale - it's £39.99 rather than £79.99.

Travel cots are marvellous inventions you know; if I was asked to put together a list of 'must have' baby items then a travel cot would most definitely be on it.

This particular Chicco travel cot is nice and simple, but also has a couple of extra features that you'll find very useful.

It has mesh sides all round, so that baby can see out and you can see in; it comes in its own carry case and has a removable padded mattress.  It folds up and opens out easily and has a double safety catch, so you don't need to worry about it closing when you don't want it to.

The two long sides can also be opened out, which is going to make making it up with a sheet etc much easier than having to lean in over the top to do it - trust me, I know!  There's also a cute little matching pyjama case that hangs on the end of the cot, which can also double up as a back pack further down the age line.

You can arrange to collect your pink Chicco travel cot from your local Home Bargains store for free, or you can pay a little extra (it shouldn't be more than £5.95 - it depends on how Home Bargains classify your parcel size) and have it delivered to your door.

Happy sleeping away from home!

Mothercare are selling their Serenity travel cot for £39.99 instead of its full £79.99 retail price, it comes with free delivery too; hurrah!

Have baby, will travel!  If I was ever asked to compile a Top 10 list of baby equipment (and I might just put one together anyway) then a travel cot would be on it.

HOWEVER, it would be a nice, simple and straightforward one - like this Serenity travel cot - not one that can sing, dance, cook the dinner for you and requires a re-mortgage of your house to be able to afford it.

This Serenity travel cot is one of the fab' and simple ones and is totally fit for purpose - sleeping whilst away from home!

It comes in its own carry case, is easy to put together and has a secondary lock for extra assembled security.  It features two wheels on one end which makes it easy to move around when it's up, has four mesh sides so your baby can see out and you can see in and has a removable mattress.

A quick word on travel cot mattresses - they're never very thick (otherwise they'd be massive and bulky to carry around) so I always put a couple of blanket on the top to make things a little more comfy.

Remember, delivery of this Serenity travel cot is free so your total investment is just the £39.99, OR you can collect it in-store for free if you prefer; marvellous.

Happy travel sleeping!

Argos Ebay Outlet have the Graco ‘Petite’ Bassinet travel cot on offer for £39.98 including delivery at the moment.

• Set up for your newborn with the Graco ‘Petite’ Bassinet

These Graco  cots are a great alternative to large, bulky and permanent cribs, especially if you don’t have a lot of room. We rarely used a cot, but when we did it was a Graco and it’s still in such superb condition that it’ll be used for our new little one too, before being passed on – and if it’s in the same condition after baby number two, I’ll have no qualms selling it.

This Petite version is slightly smaller, and the bassinet is apparently only useful till about 3 months of age,  but then the cot can still be used up to around 13kg.

The cot includes a mattress and a hood canopy, and is made of polyester, with mesh panels.  It folds up for storage, and weighs about 7kg.

When we were planning our nursery, we realised that the 'box' room was actually too small for the beautiful sleigh cot I had my eye on  and, in fact, the only cot that would fit was a travel cot. As it turned out we never used the nursery, but the cot did spend some time in our room, so its 104 x 73 x 91 cm dimensions really counted in its favour.

The Graco Countour travel cot comes with a bassinet which is suitable from birth until baby can push up on hands and knees. It is really useful to have the bassinet as it definitely saves on your back when you're bending down to pick up your infant.

The mesh sides are great for visibility, so you can actually see the baby through the sides when you're tip-toeing past at nap time. The problem we found with the net, however, was when my daughter turned around seven months old, she would hold the bars, shuffle her feet up the mesh and hang like a bat, which really worried me, so we moved her to a bed instead. This could just be specific to my child though.

The detachable control box is in charge of the light, the music and the vibrations. Apparently some babies love the vibration and it soothes them to sleep, but Kyra didn't. The music is a bit tinny, but acceptable, and the 'white noises' – like running water – worked well to drown out background noise. The light broke one day when I accidentally put it in the wrong way round, and seems quite tough to replace, but it's not a very bright light, so it wasn't really missed.

There's also a detachable toy bar with three hanging toys in beige-ey tones, not very bright or colourful, but apparently that's better for newborns so they're not overstimulated – or something like that.

The travel cot has 7 feet for stability, two of which are actually wheels, so that it can be moved easily, even when it's in the travel bag.

All in, it's a good cot, I'm glad we bought it and used it.

Travel Cots are the most genius invention and one of the things I’d put on my ‘must have’ baby items list if I were ever asked to write one!

They can be a little bit pricey and it’s easy to get sucked into the little extra bits and pieces that manufacturers will have you believe are essential; but you don’t NEED the hanging toys, the bit that plays 10 of the most popular nursery rhymes or flashing lights; honestly, you don’t.

This Sleep Tight Travel Cot is nice and simple, does what it needs to do and as a result the sale price of £29.97 is pretty spot on (the rrp is a bit OTT in my opinion), it's suitable from birth to approximately 15 kgs.

It's got padded rails, comes with a padded foam base - this is NOT a mattress, you can buy one of those if you wish but in my experience a few extra blankets suffice.

The Sleep Tight Travel Cot folds up into it's own carry bag, has see-through mesh panel sides and weighs a mere 9kgs.

Now, the Sleep Tight Travel Cot comes in BLACK, PINK and BLUE and is so popular that it's currently on pre-order - the shipping date is 9 March 2011, just 10 days away (how can it be March already, we'll soon be writing Christmas deals again; crazy!).

Happy Travelling.

The Petite Star Forest Check Travel Cot is on sale at Amazon for just over half the price (52%). At £43.00, you're saving £46.99 and delivery is free.

• Buy the Petite Star Travel Cot in preparation for your summer travels

We had a lovely travel cot that stood proudly in the nursery before my daughter was born. We specifically bought a travel cot as the room was too small for a real cot, but as Kyra never spent a single night in the nursery, the cot moved to our room as soon as she outgrew the moses basket at two months.

The idea was that we would take it with us on trips, and camping, but we ended up co-sleeping and only used the cot a handful of times.

That said, however, I'm still glad that we only bought a travel cot and not a full cot. It was definitely the right choice for us!

This particular model is a leightweight (around 5Kg) travel cot, and comes with a clip in bassinette, which makes it suitable from birth. It comes with a carry bag included and will last till approximately 24 months.

It comes with full instructions too.

If 'have baby - will travel!' is your mantra, rather than 'have baby - will become a hermit and never stay away from home overnight until they are at least 18!', then you'll need a Travel Cot!

Kiddicare have three travel cots currently on offer:

• BabyWeavers Kip Travel Cot - £29.97 (rrp £79.99)
• Kiddicare.com Traveller Travel Cot Strawberry £29.97 (rrp £69.99)
• Kiddicare.com Traveller Travel Cot Kaleidoscope - £28.99 (rrp £69.99)

All of them fold down and pack away into their own carry bags, the sides are mesh so you can see through to the inside and your baby can see through to the outside.

They all have a foam base, but if you want something a little MORE on the bottom, then you can buy a mattress to go with your chosen travel cot.

At this price, I'd be tempted to buy two and keep one at home (you can use them as playpens too by the way) and keep one at the grandparents' house...ready for those impromptu baby sitting offers *wink*

Before I go - if you don't buy two then you're going to j u s t be under the limit for free postage - so add a set of socks (or something similar that you'll use) to your order to j u s t take it over, otherwise you'll be paying £4.95 when you don't have to.

Morning! Tesco have a Hauck Winnie the Pooh travel cot on offer at the moment, it's been reduced by half price and is now a rather lovely £39.99 instead of £79.99.

• Click HERE to bumble on over to Tescos

A travel cot is an essential piece of baby/small toddler kit in my opinion.

Unless you're going to be a hermit for the first five years of your child's life and never stay away from home,OR have your child sleep in bed with you when you are away then you're going to need a travel cot.

They fold up into a ridiculously small size compared to how big they are when they're open; they are great for keeping at the grandparent's house so that they're ready to take on overnight duties at the drop of a hat too *grin*

This Hauck Winnie the Pooh travel cot comes with a carry bag to zip everything in to and it has mesh sides, allowing you to see in and keep an eye on your baby without having to loom over the sides and it means they can see out too.

It has a removeable play bag on one end for stashing toys, comes with a toy bar which has three soft Winnie the Pooh toys that dangle from it, and is suitable from birth.

You can arrange to collect in store or pay the £5.95 home delivery charge.

Unless you suddenly morphed into a hermit when you had your baby and don't intend to stay anywhere overnight until they are at least 18 years old, then you'll need a travel cot.

They are the most genius invention and one of the things I'd put on my 'must have' baby items list if I were ever asked to write one!

This Hauck travel cot is nice and simple, does what it needs to do and as a result the price of £26.99 is pretty spot on.

It all folds down and comes in its own carry bag, the sides are mesh so you can see through to the inside and your baby can see through to the outside.

The dimensions are: 103 (l) x 73 (w) x 75 (h) cm and standard delivery will cost you £4.95 or you could scoot in to your nearest Toys R Us and see if they have one in stock you buy there and then.

Happy travelling!
