Safety

When you're looking for a travel cot make sure that the manufacturer complies with all safety standards.

When you are choosing a bassinet or crib choose one that conforms to the latest safety standards, which were updated in 2022. It is also recommended to avoid cribs that are older and cribs that have been modified or drop side cribs that are recycled for use in travel, as they aren't tested and could pose a risk to your baby's well-being.

A travel crib should be strong and well-constructed. Examine for loose, missing or broken screws and other hardware. If you're using a playard, it should have sturdy walls and mesh windows for adequate air flow. The crib's slats should not be more than 2 and 3/8 inches apart, to keep baby's head and legs from getting trapped. Don't put any toys, blankets, or toys in the crib. These can cause suffocation or strangle your baby. They should be removed from the crib when your child is able to push up on their hands and knees or prior to 5 months of age or when they reach 5 months of age, whichever comes first.

It is also essential to check frequently for loose or broken hardware and screws, particularly when you travel with your infant. Make sure to remove all crib furniture before using it, and.

If you are using a portable baby crib ensure that it's not placed in front of the large windows. A window can be a fall risk and if your baby falls into it, they could get injured.

If your child begins to roll over during sleep it's best to wake them up to prevent injury.

If you are forced to co-sleep at times, make sure that you only do so when your baby is asleep and you're both awake and fully dressed.
