Ruth's son slept in the Sleeptight when she went away with her family for the weekend and, although it was difficult finding a spot in the small hotel room, she managed to put it at the foot of the bed. Because the foam was slightly bigger than the cot, it was a very tight fit around the base. That meant that my son couldn't in any way get trapped down the sides, which I think is the main reason they tell you not to use another mattress.

Final verdict?

Still the same practical size and easy to assemble features, but with new soft grey premium quilted fabrics on the top rails and soft mattress, the Dreamer Bedside Crib is an amazing value travel option. Although the Sleeptight is wider than other cots we tested and has no wheels for transportation around the house, it’s 8kg weight still makes it easy to carry around. How does it look?

Tired babies and toddlers don't make for a happy holiday and a quality mattress will keep them safe and comfortable in their travel cot. The Dreamer Bedside Travel Crib is the new updated version of an old favourite but with the massive additional feature of including a drop side to allow for bedside safe sleeping.As with everything, you can spend more or less than this - consider what works for your baby and how you can recreate the sleeping set-up you have at home to ensure a good sleep when you're away on holiday. While this travel cot is one of the cheapest on the market, it certainly doesn’t scrimp on quality. Designed to be both simple to assemble and multi positioning; this cot is easy to fold away in its carry bag allowing for hassle free travels. The padded top rails ensure protection from any hard materials and has easy view mesh you can keep a close eye on your little ones as they play. It is a bit bulky to move around when set up so would need to be collapsed to fit through most doorways. But it would take less than a minute to set it up again elsewhere.

However, you can get bigger travel cots such as the Baby Dan, which is 120 x 60cm, which is more in line with cot bed dimensions and ideal for toddlers. Many years ago I bought a Graco travel cot which also stated that you should only use the mattress that comes with the travel cot. That mattress was about as comfortable as a plank of wood. So I measured the internal size of the base of the travel cot and added on a centimetre or 2 each way. I went to a local foam furnishing shop, explained I wanted the foam for a travel cot, they cut the foam to the size I wanted and used a type of foam that was suitable for a new born to sleep on.It’s also spacious enough when assembled to be used as a playpen for a younger child as they would have room to play with toys and move around. It may be our budget choice, but the Red Kite Sleeptight works just as well as the more expensive travel cots we tested. Its simplicity means it is very easy to set up and put down. Ruth assembled the cot in less than a minute as it came in two easy parts – the cot itself and the mattress. The cot is a bit wider than other cots on the market, such as the Joie Kubbie Sleep and the SpaceCot, so there is plenty of room inside for a child up until they are three years old – or until they can climb out.
