Why We Like the Graco Contour Storage Travel Cot

December 19, 2010

I was looking for a simple quick and easy to use safe travel cot with a storage option. The moment I received the new Graco Contour Storage travel cot to test and review, I knew this one was just for us! It took me a moment to set it up – it was really quickly and easily using the umbrella system with folding buttons.

I have to say that I needed a travel cot not just for travelling (when short of space). Yes, the Graco Contour Storage Cot is shorter (104cm) which would make it just perfect for when travelling in the spring and summer. But it’s also ideal when visiting friends for a day and overnight and my little girl would prefer to have her nap or a night-sleep in a comfortable, “her own territory” cot, so she feels save and “at home”. It’s great because it doesn’t take much space in the car when folded (it’s only 23cm x 23cm x 85cm).

I like the design with its rounded table and stylish grey colours shades. It’s got 2 wheels which makes it easy to move around. It’s quite safe, too with 7 feet for perfect stability.

The best thing of the Graco Contour storage travel cot is the included storage compartment, which means we can travel easily with minimum luggage on short or long journeys. With our old travel cot it was a bit tricky to find bedsheets to cover the mattress, but the mattress dimensions of the Graco Contour storage travel cot are 65 x 95cm, so it fits ideally a regular cot-bed mattress sheets.

If you need it for a baby, the extra benefits are also the included removable and folding changing table. Also it has a detachable control box for night light, music and vibrations – ideal for a perfect bedtime. And there is also a nice toy bar with toys to stimulate baby’s development.
As a basinette it’s suitable from birth to 3 months but as a bed it could be easily used until the child is 16kg, i.e. around 3 years old.

Thank you so much, Graco! – Nika already feels nice and comfortable in the travel cot when we stayed overnight with some friends of us last weekend, and I can’t wait to use it ever more often during our family holidays!
