It’s pricey, just like the rest of the Bugaboo range, but that’s the only negative. It tops our list of the best travel cots because it combines style, function, and comfort in ways we haven’t seen before. Let’s be honest, babies don’t always sleep particularly well in travel cots, but we were pleasantly surprised during testing, as baby enjoyed a restful couple of nights on a recent trip to the grandparents. The Silver Cross Slumber is lightweight, too, so would be ideal for taking on holiday to create somewhere safe for baby to play in a villa or hotel room. This travel cot comes with a firm and comfortable mattress, with enough padding for your little one to sleep safely and comfortably. The firm mattress is especially essential if you use it more regularly at home, and not only during your family trips. Sleeping is an essential part of your child’s development. That's why we created a travel cot that can make naptime easier and more fun, for you and your baby. Bugaboo Stardust combines unique aerospace technology and smart design to offer you an all-in-one, ultra-comfortable travel cot that you can use at home or on the go. Thanks to the Bugaboo Stardust’s unique all-in-one-design and built-in mattress it can unfold in just ONE second, making bedtime on-the-go easier than ever.
