Portable travel cot, baby travel cot or full-size travel cot: which does your family need?
Shop all travel cots →
Choose a portable travel cot if you travel frequently and need something that folds into a carry bag, fits in a car boot and sets up in minutes without tools. Our standard portable model folds to H78 x D28 x W25cm and weighs 10.2kg, compact enough for a standard car boot with luggage alongside it. Choose a baby travel cot for newborns and younger infants who need a firm, flat sleep surface, full-perimeter mesh sides for airflow and visibility, and a raised bassinet insert for nighttime feeds. Choose a full-size travel cot for extended stays where a toddler needs near home-cot space to sleep comfortably across multiple nights. Choose a play yard style if your family needs a combined sleep and play space during the day. Play yard models suit shorter stays and double as a safe daytime zone while you move around the accommodation.
All travel cots in our collection meet AS/NZS 2195-2010 folding cot safety requirements. Designs start from $120.00 (Play Yard). In stock now, dispatched from Sydney. Order at least a week before your trip. Order before your trip. Most metro orders need 3 to 7 business days.
Safety, Portability and Setup Speed
Travel Cot Safety, Folded Size and Setup Speed: What to Confirm Before You Buy
Arriving at grandparents' house or a holiday rental with a baby and no safe sleep space is one of the most stressful situations parents describe. A travel cot gives your baby a familiar, safe sleep space at the destination. You use it in an unfamiliar room, often when a tired baby needs to go down fast and the only other option is sharing a bed. The Sleep N Go assembles in under two minutes with no tools. The one-handed fold mechanism handles the pack-down solo. Safe sleep standards do not change when you travel. In particular, the base must be firm and flat, the sides must allow airflow and visibility, and the locking mechanism must hold securely once assembled. Confirm mesh sides, a firm base and secure locking on each product page before ordering.
Before ordering, check folded dimensions against your actual car boot. The Sleep N Go folds to 78 x 28cm and clears most standard boots with luggage alongside it. Anything larger may need a roof box or a separate vehicle for longer family trips.
Safe Sleep in a Travel Cot
Always use a firm, flat mattress. Do not place soft bedding, pillows or positioners inside the cot with an infant as these create suffocation risks. Stop using the bassinet insert once your baby pushes up on hands and knees or reaches the product weight limit. For personalised safe sleep guidance, consult your child health nurse or paediatrician.

Portable Travel Cots
Portable Travel Cots for Frequent Travellers
A portable travel cot folds into its carry bag and fits in a car boot or overhead locker. The Love N Care Sleep N Go ($164.99, was $229.99) assembles to H78 x D80 x W115cm and folds to H78 x D28 x W25cm at 10.2kg. It comes with a mattress, carry bag, attachable change table and bassinet insert included. The breathable Breathe Easy fabric keeps the sleep environment ventilated for indoor and outdoor use. Suits newborns through to 14kg. Add it to cart and have it ready before your next trip.
Baby Travel Cots
Baby Travel Cots for Newborns and Infants
A baby travel cot for a newborn or young infant needs a firm base board, full-perimeter mesh sides and simple assembly. Either way, confirm the base is rigid and flat. A padded base that compresses under weight does not meet safe sleep requirements for infants. Available in neutral colours. For newborn sleep at home, browse our bassinets and sleepers range alongside this collection.
Full-Size Travel Cots
Full-Size Travel Cots for Extended Stays
A full-size travel cot gives toddlers near home-cot space (approximately 120 x 70cm) when sleeping away. Choose this for extended stays where the cot stays in place for several nights. Confirm assembled dimensions on each product page before ordering to ensure the cot fits your destination room with clearance on all sides.
Travel Cots with Bassinet
Newborn Travel Cots with Raised Bassinet Insert
Travel cots with a raised bassinet insert let you use the same cot from birth through to toddler age. The bassinet level keeps newborns at a reachable height for nighttime feeds and checks. For instance, lifting a newborn from floor level at 3am puts significant strain on a recovering postpartum back. The raised insert removes that entirely. Drop it to the lower position as your baby grows and begins to push up. The Love N Care Playland Travel Cot Nero ($129.99) works as both a sleep space and a daytime play yard. Check stock and order now while the current price holds. Pair with a nursery chair for feeds and a changing table and drawers to create a complete away-from-home nursery setup.
Buying Checklist
Travel Cot Checklist: AS/NZS 2195, Folded Dimensions and Safe Sleep
- Safety standard AS/NZS 2195-2010: Confirm compliance on each product page before ordering. All three travel cots in our collection meet this standard.
- Dimensions: folded and assembled: Check folded dimensions against your car boot before ordering. A cot folding to 78 x 28 x 25cm fits most sedans. Confirm the assembled size (standard models run approximately 120 x 70cm) fits your destination room with the door open and clearance on all sides.
- Base firmness: Confirm the base board is a rigid panel, not padded-only construction. A soft compressible base does not meet infant safe sleep requirements. Check each product page before ordering.
- Bassinet insert: If you need the cot from birth, confirm the model includes a raised bassinet insert. Check the product page for the bassinet weight limit and the transition point to the lower position.
- Weight capacity: Most travel cots suit children up to 14kg (approx. 3 years). Confirm the maximum weight on each product page and plan for the age your child will reach in the next 12 months.
- Assembly: One-handed fold and click-lock mechanisms set up fastest solo. Confirm the method on each product page before ordering.

Complete Your Baby Sleep Setup: Cots, Bassinets and Nursery Essentials
A full-size baby cot gives your baby a permanent home sleep space separate from the travel cot. Add a bassinet or sleeper for the newborn weeks and a changing table and nursery essentials to keep nappy changes organised in one place.
Also in Babies and Kids
Most parents who buy a travel cot add these next. A nursery chair handles every feed at home and away. High chairs and bouncers follow once your baby reaches the sitting stage.
WHY SHOPICA?
Quality You Can Trust
Shopica is a Sydney-based, family-owned homeware, décor and furniture store founded by Eliane El Khoury. What started as a passion for beautiful, considered interiors has grown into a trusted destination for Australians who care about how their home looks and feels. We curate cushions, floor lamps, mirrors, bedside tables, dining tables, outdoor furniture and decorative pieces chosen specifically for Australian homes. Every piece is held to the same standard we would demand for our own. We do not stock products simply because they are popular. We stock them because they are well made, beautifully designed and worth every dollar.
Our Sydney-based team understands how Australian homes are lived in. The open plan living and dining spaces that define modern Australian architecture. The need for furniture that is beautiful on the weekend and durable through the week. The importance of getting the details right, from the cushion on the sofa to the lamp beside the bed. We source every product with all of this in mind.
With Australia-wide delivery dispatched daily from our Smithfield warehouse in Sydney and personal customer support from a team that genuinely cares about your home, Shopica is here to help you create a space that feels as good as it looks. One considered piece at a time.
