Why Choose the Mamas & Papas Classic Travel Cot?

A good travel cot can be worth its weight in gold—vital not only for holidays and overnight stays, but also handy to use as an emergency playpen around the house. The Mamas & Papas Classic is hard to beat for families seeking a dependable, budget-friendly option that delivers on functionality and durability.

Mamas & Papas has over 35 years of experience providing expertise to new parents and their families. The Classic Travel Cot embodies the brand's commitment to quality, combining practical features with the robust construction you'd expect from a trusted name in baby gear.

Cosy & Comfortable Sleep Space

Soft, Padded Mattress The included soft, padded mattress provides a snug sleeping space for baby, ensuring comfortable rest whether you're visiting grandparents or enjoying a family holiday. The mattress creates a cosy environment that helps baby settle and sleep soundly.

Safe & Secure Multi-Locking Mechanism The safe and secure multi-locking mechanism on all four sides ensures the cot remains stable and rigid once erected, giving you added peace of mind. Once the locking system is properly engaged, the cot feels impressively solid and sturdy, even with an active baby inside.

Quality Sleeping Environment Whilst the Classic delivers on function rather than flashy style, it provides everything your baby needs for safe, comfortable sleep. The sturdy frame and secure construction mean you can rest easy knowing your little one is sleeping safely.

Doubles as a Playpen

Dual Functionality Made for play as well as sleep, the Classic doubles up as a playpen, perfect for at home or away. At 106cm long and 75cm wide, it provides adequate space for baby to play safely whilst you prepare meals, sort laundry, or enjoy a well-earned cup of tea.

Safe Play Area The secure frame and mesh sides create a safe contained area where baby can play with toys, practice rolling, or explore movement without risk. It's an ideal short-term play space that keeps baby secure whilst giving parents valuable hands-free time.

Versatile Home Use Beyond travel, many families find the Classic invaluable around the house. Use it as a temporary play space in different rooms, take it to the garden on sunny days, or set it up when friends with babies visit.

Compact Fold & Easy Storage

Space-Saving Design The compact fold makes storage effortless, folding down to just H 25 x W 25 x L 106cm. This space-saving design means you can tuck it away in cupboards, under beds, or in the garage when not in use, without it dominating your storage space.

Included Carry Bag Easy transportation is guaranteed with the included carry bag, making getting from A to B simple. The rectangular bag fits neatly around the folded frame, held in place with Velcro tabs, making transport and storage neat and convenient.

Lightweight Enough for Travel At 9.9kg, the Classic strikes a good balance—it's portable enough for holidays and visits whilst feeling substantial and secure when set up. It's not the lightest option on the market, but the modest weight contributes to its solid, stable feel.

Padded Frame for Safety & Convenience

Protected Edges The padded frame protects baby from hard edges and corners, creating a safer environment whether they're sleeping or playing. The padding also adds to the overall comfort and quality feel of the cot.

Wipes Clean Easily The padded frame wipes clean with a damp cloth for convenience, making maintenance simple. Travel cots get unceremoniously lugged about, and the practical design means you can quickly wipe away marks and keep it looking fresh.

Practical Plum/Grey Colourway

Functional Styling The Plum/Grey (burgundy and grey) colour combination is highly practical for a travel cot. Whilst it delivers on function rather than contemporary nursery style, the darker colours won't show every scuff and grubby finger mark—essential for an item that gets frequent use and transport.

Durable Fabric The tough fabric construction is designed to withstand the rigours of regular travel and use. It's the kind of practical design that will serve your family well for years, through multiple children if needed.

Easy Assembly with Printed Instructions

Step-by-Step Guidance In an ingenious twist, large step-by-step instructions—including both words and pictures—are printed directly on the mattress base. This design feature means you'll never lose the instruction manual, and you can reference the setup process whenever needed.

Multi-Locking System The trick with travel cots is reading the instructions properly. Get the order of snapping the folding rails into place and lowering the base correct, and setup is straightforward. The multi-locking mechanism on the four sides activates to create a solid, secure structure.

Simple Collapse Collapsing the frame is simple once you know how—just twist and pull up the handle in the centre of the base, then locate the release buttons on the rails. The actual release switch is located underneath the covered handrail, and when pushed correctly, you'll hear a definite click as the rail collapses.

Important Setup Tips

Follow the Sequence As with many travel cots, you must perform an exact sequence of events during setup. Read the printed instructions on the mattress base carefully before beginning, paying particular attention to the centre base position.

Locating the Release Mechanism When collapsing the cot, the release switch is located underneath the covered handrail, directly below the arrow marking. Push firmly upwards on this switch until you hear a definite click—this releases the rail to collapse.

Don't Rush Take your time on the first setup. Once you've done it correctly once or twice, it becomes straightforward. Getting the multi-locking mechanism to activate properly is key to ensuring the cot is safe and secure.
