Graco FoldLite LX Unique Travel Cot with Bassinet Folds Down Super Small, Birth to Approx. 3 Years, Midnight Fashion

I travel with baby a lot - both to and from the in-laws every morning, and regularly down the M1 to my parents. This is easy to fold and assemble, lightweight, and has a comfy mattress base that's perfect for overnight sleeping as well as naps. I don't think there's any need for an additional mattress with this. It seems slightly slimmer than travel cots I had for my son (16 years ago), so fits into most spaces. I didn't use with the bassinet, but again it's really easy to assemble and means you can use from birth. Great value for money.

I was initially impressed with the quality of this and ease of setup. The bassinet works well and gives plenty of space and reassurance.Its heavier than stated, and the bassinet adds substantial extra weight, making the portable nature of this questionable.Getting it back in the carry bag with the bassinet is also a nightmare. Whilst its decent and worthy of 4 stars, its not perfect.

After alot of research we decided on this Cot over the standard Graco FoldLite, as we wanted the bassinet.Unlike most travel cots with bassinet feature, this one has the same size mattress for the bassinet and the regular part of the Cot, which is perfect for our long and heavy baby. (Alot of cots the bassinet is smaler in size and would be outgrown very quicklyBaby slept so well in this overnight and for naps!Positives:- easy to put up and away- light compared to most travel cots- wheels to move it once up- large size bassinet- small size when collapsed with travel bagNegatives:- the poles you put under the mattress for the bassinet do sometimes make noise when baby moves legs around, but we have only used it a couple of times so will see if this is always and issue- plastic cover on mattress, you will want to buy a mattress protector and sheets

Cot size is only 95x60cm so baby will outgrow it. The bassinet is the same size which is a plus for smaller babies and fits them up to 9kg.

Only reason I didn't give 5 stars is the metal rods fall out of the rolled up cot when I'm carrying it. I need to find a way to secure them so that they can't slide out during transportation. My baby has used this cot a few times now (aged 7 months onwards) and has slept well in it.
