How long you can use the travel cot for does vary between brands, but most can be used until two three years of age.

Are travel cots safe?

Safety is super important to every parent, so travel cots are designed with safety in mind. To ensure that your travel cot is safe, make sure you follow the instructions properly so it is set up securely. Travel cots are designed to be used with their original mattresses, so avoid swapping the mattress for another one. Travel cot mattresses are often harder but do not add softer materials such as a blanket over the top of the mattress as you risk your baby overheating or being injured while they're sleeping.
