Customer Reviews

As a parent who travels constantly with their children, we are moving from place to place and value their healthy sleep. Using the Phil & Ted Traveller, we have found the versatility through all the ages of our baby has been absolutely great. From a newborn next to us in a hotel room, to a toddler with an ear infection where I could unzip the side and lay with her, the options make it parent/baby friendly. I also do love how light it is, easily fits in a suitcase or stroller bag, and so simple to set up.

Hi Anna, it's great to hear the 4-in-1 feature of the phil&teds traveller has helped you through all stages from newborn to toddler. We think event with all the added features it's still pretty neat and compact and perfect for travel. PTx

Phil & teds traveller: best light-weight toddler sleep solution.

Finally, a travel cot that really does help you travel lighter

For years we have been guilty of lugging an overweight, out of date “travel cot” across the continents with us – you know the ones which are really a playpen ?  Not on every trip, but when we know we will be staying at multiple different locations, or we are unsure whether our accommodation can provide us with a safe sleeping solution, we will bring our own.

We were dreading the thought of taking our portacot with us to Australia this past summer. We were staying at 5 different locations over the space of a month, we needed to fit everything into a regular sedan vehicle to get from A to B, and I needed to take two flights solo with all the kids and luggage; we had to find a better sleep solution for our youngest who was still only 12 months old.

Cue a new generation of travel cot

We were delighted to road test the Phil & Teds Traveller TM  Portable Travel Cot  with our 1-year-old Master J over the summer (And on our recent adventure to South Africa . And when Master J had to bunk in with us when his air conditioner broke. And when we had to stay with family while moving house.  I think he has slept in this more than his own bed the past six months!)

How does the Phil & Teds Traveller work?

Unlike what we’ll call a conventional “portacot”  that opens in one piece (hands up who has stood there for hours fruitlessly trying to yank those sides into place?) The Phil & Teds Traveller TM comes packed more like a tent in an easy carry bag.

There are 10 interconnecting aluminium pieces that need to be clicked together to make the frame, then threaded through the cot netting, with a self-inflating mattress.

If your construction skills are seriously lacking this may not be the cot for you – however – how you’ve got to the point of having a baby and not having learned some construction skills from Ikea I don’t know….  

If you follow the clearly labelled instructions, it is very easy to understand.  By your second or third time, you’ll be a pro. If you are finding the construction a little difficult and the parts aren’t easily sliding together, you could always spray a small amount of WD40 or lubricant on the joints but we never found this necessary, maybe because of repeated regular use.

Phil & Teds Traveller Features

• The aluminium frame pieces are incredibly light , making the overall weight of the product only 3.2kg.
• It does have a fold-down side though we never quite saw the purpose of this given our aim was to contain him inside the cot – perhaps if you are camping next to the cot and want to reach into your baby from the side?
• As an add-on you can also purchase a UV sun shade cover , great for if you want to have your baby sleeping outside, or protected from insects (we did not test this feature).
• Suitable up to three years of age . We will easily get another year or two use out of this product with our last child.
• A downside as noted by a few people who have been in a room with it is the feet step out deceptively far and can be a tripping hazard.  
• The constructed dimensions (footprint) are 137cm x 85cm x 66cm, with a sleep space of 115cm x 57cm x 66cm.
• Only small criticism, the self-inflating mattress is brilliant for setting up quickly, but I found requires a fair bit of elbow grease to get all the air out; it really needs to be quite flat to neatly fit back in the nylon carry bag. I have mastered the technique of taking the mattress out first and kneeling on it while deconstructing the rest of the cot to save time!
• The carry bag is really very thin , you might want to get in the habit of checking you don’t have any legs sticking out at awkward angles that could rip or damage the bag in transit.

Comparison to Similar Travel Cots

Several readers have asked us how this product compares to the Lotus Travel Crib and Portable Playard . We haven’t had personal experience using this particular brand, but can confirm from friends it’s also super light and portable. 

Additionally, it only takes about 15 seconds to build, which is much faster than the Phil & Teds!

You can also see our complete comparison to all leading travel cots on the market here.

Globetrotters Recommend

The huge selling feature of the Phil & Teds Traveller TM   is its weight.   We have easily been able to pack it away either inside a suitcase or check it as an extra baby item without problems.

Now I am used to the construction element, I do find I can pack and unpack it quicker than my old cot that would constantly jam and cause frustration – I have it down to about 3 minutes either end which as any of you know trying to pack up a room with kids in it is no mean feat!

So if you’re looking for a lightweight, easy to pack sleep solution for your infant you really can’t go wrong with the Phil & Teds Traveller TM  Portable Travel Cot.

6 thoughts on “ Phil & Teds Traveller: best light-weight toddler sleep solution ”

After seeing an ad on Facebook – yes really – I bought the Lotus Everywhere from Guava: http://www.guavafamily.com/products/lotus-everywhere-travel-crib We were about to relocate to the UK and I knew there had to be something better than the oh so HEAVY standard travel cot. The differences between the Lotus and this Phil & Ted model seem to be that the Lotus: – is all one piece plus the mattress, which means no lost pieces – mattress is just foam and lays on the bottom of the cot – not an issue for the 3 months our toddler slept on it full time – is 5.9 kg… so a little heavier… but the bag is good quality and has backpack straps! I don’t know how the price compares – I got the Lotus for $189 including an organic sheet. The only thing I don’t like is that attaching the mattress with the little velcro tabs is a pain so we don’t normally do it. Overall – for any family that travels, investing in a lightweight travel cot is 100% worth it!!

Thanks for that interesting comparison Casey. It really is a toss up between ease of construction and weight – for us weight now wins every time but I can certainly see the benefits the Lotus has too, thanks for sharing.

This looks like something we need! Especially since the side comes down open – our little guy hates being constricted in a crib or pack n play. Great review!

Thanks Lo – I think you would really enjoy it, perfect for all sorts of travel and super lightweight making it easy to bring along

Not to mention a baby who learn how to stand can easily rip holes through the meshing…

I think the meshing is pretty robust on this model

Phil & Teds Traveller Cot/Crib V2 - Red - D

• Light for traveling
• You can't put your own sheet on for the baby to sleep on. Instead the mattress slips into a zippered section and the material is not great for sleeping on. It's like sleeping on the bottom of a tent without a sleeping bag.
• Lightweight, sturdy when set up

Phil & Teds Traveller Travel Cot review

This cot bed offers an unusual combination of robust, long lasting and truly portable. Three real mums tested this travel cot in the April 2015 issue of M&B magazine.

A really light and compact option, the sides of this travel cot can be completely zipped away.

This allows easier access than standard travel cots, but also transforms the cot into a fun daytime play space. With gently sloping mesh sides, which let you see your baby easily, this is suitable from birth to three years.

The cot base, onto which an inflatable mattress fits, is slightly raised off the ground. The carry bag fits into very small spaces, including the overhead locker on a plane journey, making this a good choice for frequent fliers.

Corinne Hills, 37, from Sheffield, is mum to Arthur, 14 months, Wilfred, three, Tobias, five, and Tom, 15, said: ‘Perfect if you need something light and small enough to pop in a large suitcase. But I found this cot complicated and time-consuming to assemble.’

Roz Walker, 32, from Glasgow, is mum to Aaron, seven months, said: ‘The inflatable mattress is excellent, but securing it to the base is quite fiddly. This is so lightweight and really compact, but it took us a while to set up.’

Naomi Johnson, 32, from Peterborough, is mum to Logan, 10 weeks, and Elizabeth, 11, said: ‘I love that the sides can be removed. It’s great for playtime and for co-sleeping families. It’s also easy to use, lightweight and compact, but I’d prefer a thicker mattress.

Phil and Teds Travel Crib Review (Why it’s the Best Travel Crib for Flights & Long-Haul Travel)

Share this Post

The Phil and Teds Traveller travel crib is one of the lightest, most compact and most portable travel cribs on the market. Weighing in at only 6 Ibs, we had to wonder if the company sacrificed usability to keep the weight down. This review is based on 6 months of personally testing it – keep reading to find out what we think and how it performed during our own travel tests.

AT A GLANCE

The phil & teds Traveller crib is a super light and ultra portable travel cot suitable for babies. This compact pack n’ play is good from birth until kids are 35″ (890mm) tall, or around 2-years-old. It’s made from a lightweight aluminum frame, polyester and nylon sides, and a fitted polyester sheet. The sides are made from breathable mesh – great news for safety and comfort. The mattress has a unique self-inflating system, is thermally-insulated for comfort, and is “free from health-hazardous substances,” and the mattress sheet is made from oeko-tex certified polyester. The self-inflating mattress does wonders for the ease of use, and the included carry bag makes transporting it easy. The Traveller’s weight is one of its best features: just 6 pounds (2.8kg)! It measures measures 46″L x 31″W x 24.8H” when assembled. This is super practical for long-haul trips in particular. Learn More

Why Trust Us? What Went Into Our Review

When we decided we’d be doing a lot of international travel with our daughter, we knew we needed to get  a travel play pen . We put a lot of thought into the products we give to our daughter, because we want her to be as safe as possible. From her  crib mattress  and crib sheets to her  baby bathtub ,  bath toys , and the methods we use to clean them – we like to do the research and choose the best! We did the same when it came time to get a travel cot.

We’ve been using the Traveller travel crib for about 6 months now. During that time, we’ve used it in 5 different countries, taken it on 8 flights, 1 road trip, and used it as a crib in 3 Airbnbs and 2 hotels, as well as a play yard at our house.

One thing I love about having this crib is, even when we move locations, our baby still has a familiar bed to sleep in! This is extra helpful when we’re traveling with a sleep regression (or just dealing with a time change ).

This review of the phil & teds Traveller is based on our personal experiences. But other parents seem to agree it’s a great purchase!

we had the phil & teds travel crib and it was a LIFE SAVER for all our travels and late night shenanigans at our friends’ places. — Yashy Murphy (@YashYanthi) May 23, 2018

If you travel, invest in good, light gear. It will make you a happier person (often works for use at home too). Top of that list is Phil & Teds travel crib — Andrew (@asallen) April 5, 2019

Can recommend to try to get the build in crib at the bulkhead. Call early! For travel crib Phil&Teds Traveller is an excellent and lightweight option. — Philipp Lange (@Lange_Lab) June 12, 2018

The Bottom Line?

We love this travel cot, and recommend it for families traveling by airplane especially. It’s lightweight, compact, and pretty easy to use. Keep reading for a more detailed review or learn more on Amazon. Learn More

Introducing the Traveller Crib

Frame & fabric.

The Traveller has an aluminum frame that’s super light and easily collapsible. Setting up the frame is like setting up a tent – you have to start with the tent poles (although it takes much less time than a tent, in my experience)! This is a key factor in making this a light and portable choice that’s great for packing and travel. While it takes longer than setting up other lightweight travel cribs, such as the BabyBjorn or the Guava Lotus , this allows it to be more compact for travel than those other two. When you take the legs apart, the crib packs up super compact. If you’re used to a “normal” pack and play like the 4moms play yard , you might even be a bit shocked to see how small this goes!

The aluminum legs have sturdy plastic feet which attach to the Traveller’s side panels with thick elastic loops. This construction ensures the Traveller is quite sturdy when assembled and standing. Our daughter was young when we used it, so I don’t have experience with her standing in it or trying to climb out of it . However, overall we were happy with the sturdiness based on our experiences.

Polyester and nylon make up the sides. Thick nylon wraps the top crib edge (frame) and synthetic mesh forms the breathable side panels.

Mesh Side Panels

The mesh is a great feature in all climates, as it allows ventilation and airflow throughout the crib (ventilation may be  a factor in preventing SIDS ).

Our review includes some hot weather testing in Mexico. We found this feature helps keep your child cool, and certainly gave us some extra peace of mind when we used it with a 4.5-month baby in Cabo. We let her sleep naked, just in a diaper , and she stayed perfectly comfortable!

Another awesome feature is the zip down side panel. On one side, the mesh panel zips fully open, giving easier access to mattress level when you placing your baby in the crib (or taking him or her out).

When you’re not using the bed, the mesh rolls up to be quite compact, so it all fits easily in the carry bag.

Mattress & Bedding

The mattress itself is quite unique. It’s “self-inflating,” which means no messing around with air pumps (or blowing it up yourself). And it is supported by the floor, which means this pack n play doesn’t have an upper weight limit you have to watch out for. It also meets all safety regulations and is quite firm once inflated. If you feel the need to try to make it more comfortable , don’t put anything in the crib. We occasionally would stand it on top of blanket if the floor was particularly cold, although I can’t say whether the company would approve of that or not.

According to the company, the mattress is “free from health-hazardous substances.” Unfortunately, they don’t tell you what it  is  made from, which is a shame.

The mattress sheet also has a lot to love. To start with, it’s a slip-on design, so you know it’s going to fit tight with no loose (and hazardous) fabric around your baby. It’s made from an “oeko-tex approved”  polyester . OEKO-TEX® has multiple certifications, so the language used on phil & ted’s website isn’t particularly helpful in understanding how toxin-free the crib sheet is.

Using the phil & teds Traveller Crib

The Traveller feels sturdy and well-made, and I feel pretty confident it’s going to outlast our baby’s ability to use it (when she’s two or three years old). If we have another baby, or pass it on to another family, I expect it will last for their kids too – it’s a well-made piece of nursery furniture, although certainly not a proper crib .

Setting it Up

There are plenty of reviews out there criticizing the Traveller for being difficult to set up. We haven’t found that to be the case. phil & teds have released multiple versions of the Traveller, and we have to wonder if reviews complaining about usability relate to previous versions of the crib.

To be sure, it took a few times before we got the hang of set-up and take down. Also, it’s a bit more complicated than setting up a pack n’ play – it’s more like setting up a tent.

Nowadays, however, we can get the traveller set up in just a few minutes. The mattress requires about 4 minutes to inflate most of the way, but you need to give it 30 minutes or longer for it to fill completely. That’s fine most of the time, but not awesome on long travel days, when you just want to get your baby to sleep.

Using It With Your Baby

We use the Traveller for day and nighttime sleep instead of a crib when we travel, and as a play yard.

One of the most practical features of the Traveller is the zippered side panel. As a short mom (I’m 5’0″), the crib is too tall for me. When the side panel is zipped up, I can’t bend over the crib and reach all the way down to mattress-level. As such, the zip-down panel is a favorite feature.

Now that our baby is 10-months, it’s easier to set her down in the Traveller. We keep the panel unzipped when she’s sitting and playing during the day, which gives her the freedom to practice moving around, but also keeps her a bit protected when she tumbles over. It’s also great for lifting her out of the crib when she wakes-up: if you have back problems, especially, it makes a huge difference.

Comfort Review

One of the most surprising things about the Traveller is how darn comfortable it appears to be.

When you first inflate the Traveller’s crib mattress, it’s hard to imagine it could provide enough support for a baby. After 4 or 5 minutes of inflation, you can easily push from the top of the mattress through to the hard floor below. Yikes!

This is definitely a case of “patience is a virtue.”

If leave the mattress air valve open for the recommended 30 minutes (we always try to give it a bit longer), the mattress transforms into a pretty comfy little sleeping platform.

When it’s fully inflated, the mattress measures roughly 1.25″ from the floor to the top of the mattress. If you apply even force to the fully inflated mattress, it feels plush. It doesn’t sink down too much, and you can’t feel the floor below.  A baby’s crib mattress should be firm , and it’s kind of astonishing how well the Traveller’s mattress performs. Thin but mighty, and no need to improve the comfort of this pack and play !

We also love the slip on mattress sheet. It fits perfectly, with no loose fabric, and is very soft to the touch. The fabric is oeko-tex certified, too – good news for safety.

Packing & Portability

When we were shopping for a travel pack n’ play, packability (along with weight) was one of our main deciding factors.

We travel a lot on discount airlines in Europe. Often, the cost of our luggage is more than the price of our tickets. Because of this, it’s worth it to keep our luggage to a minimum, which is of course a challenge when you’re bringing a baby along.

The phil & teds travel crib is awesome for packing. It weighs only 6 pounds, and takes up roughly the same amount of space as a thick yoga mat. Pair it with a travel blackout blind , and our kiddo can sleep anywhere!

Basically, it’s made for people who travel like us: on a budget, with a fair number of flights. If you plan on doing a lot of car trips, where space isn’t at such a premium, this review might not be as helpful.

Safety & Green Score

The Traveller meets the government safety standards in the countries where it’s sold. What that means really depends on where you live, unfortunately.

Use of Fire Retardants

Whether phil & teds adds  flame retardants  to the Traveller depends on where you buy it.

As the company isn’t clear about its use of flame retardants online, we reached out to them to ask.

In Europe, “we can confirm that the fire retardant is only a requirement in UK and Ireland.” We interpreted this to mean if you buy a Traveller in continental EU, it won’t have fire retardant added. If you buy a Traveller in the UK/Ireland, it will have fire retardant added.

The company has yet to respond to my query about Traveller cribs sold in the USA and Canada.

Mattress & Bedding Safety

Here’s what the phil & teds website has to say about the mattress and sheet:

baby can rest easy too on the thermally insulated self-inflating mattress, which is covered with an oeko-tex approved fitted sheet & is free from health-hazardous substances for peace of mind.

The wording here is a bit confusing. Is it the sheet that’s “free from health-hazardous substances”? Or the mattress?

The phrase “oeko-tex approved” is equally problematic. The STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX® certification is an awesome way to confirm textiles are free from harmful chemicals. The problem is, phil & teds hasn’t actually said the sheet has achieved the OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 certification. The wording is vague, and could refer to one of OEKO-TEX® other certifications. Or it could mean they are using fabric that meets OEKO-TEX® standards, but they haven’t actually gotten the certification.

I looked in the OEKO-TEX® database for phil & teds, and couldn’t find anything listed. It’s possible I used the database incorrectly, and have reached out to both phil & teds and OEKO-TEX® for confirmation. Neither have responded to date.

Transparency

Overall, we really like our phil & teds traveller.

However, we’re also pretty disappointed with the information the company provides online. We still have a lot of question marks about the chemicals and materials used in the Traveller, and it seems like it should be easier to get answers.

Phil and Teds Travel Crib Summary

Based on our own testing, we give the Traveller travel crib 4.1 stars out of five

What’s to Love

• Super lightweight, compact, and portable. Lighter than most (if not all) travel cribs on the market, it is ideal for airplane trips. We packed ours in checked luggage, but you could take it carry on as well.
• The zip-down side panel is practical for all parents, but it’s especially great if you have a bad back or are short.
• Easy to put together and take apart, making it a good choice for short stays or moving locations every few days. This would be a great travel cot for a multi-city vacation in Europe, for example, or a road trip!
• OEKO-TEX® approved fitted sheet and a mattress that’s free from health-hazardous substances – despite the problems with transparency, it seems phil & teds is moving in the right direction when it comes to harmful chemicals.
• Thermally insulated mattress means you can set it up on a cool floor, and your little one will still be a comfortable temperature.
• Easier to clean than a traditional pack and play.
• Packs up quite small, and the included bag comes with a shoulder strap for easy transport.
• Mid-range pricing – this isn’t the cheapest travel crib out there, but it’s also not the most expensive. If you plan to use it a lot (as we have), it’s easy to see the value and justify the expense.

Product Cons and What We’d Change

• The mattress seems too thin to provide adequate support for a baby, especially older and heavier babies and young kids.
• Your Traveller crib may or may not have flame retardants added, depending on where you buy it.
• The company really isn’t very forthcoming about the chemicals used in the crib’s manufacture. We’re still left with a lot of questions about whether this crib is non-toxic.

Test Results Test Results

Specs specifications, features features.

We only recommend models which score 70% or over, meaning that they pass all our safety tests, but may have some very minor failures (such as with information labels).

This score is made up of a combination of performance (70%) and ease of use (30%). Our observations are based on the latest voluntary Australian standard AS/NZS 2195:2010. Recommended portacots pass all safety requirements such as suffocation risks. Lower-scoring models (in the 60–69% range) are worth considering if they meet all key safety requirements. They may fail some minor points such as finger entrapment hazards.

Based on tests to the latest Australian standard for portable cots, AS/NZS 2195:2010, which goes above mandatory requirements. Supplied accessories such as bassinets and change tables are also assessed and factored into the score. The lower the score, the more significant the safety failures we found. Check the 'Bad points' for each portacot in our comparison table for details of any failures and manufacturer responses.

We assess how easy the portable cots are to set up, pack away and store.

Whether the portacot passed the most important safety tests of the voluntary Australian Standard, AS/NZS 2195:2010, which goes above mandatory requirements. Tests include having breathable mesh on all sides, and no suffocation or strangulation hazards. Some models that pass key tests still have some minor failures and therefore aren't fully recommended, but are still worth considering.

Recommended or typical retail price.

Total weight in kilograms including any supplied accessories.

The cot's dimensions when set up.

The cot's dimensions when folded up and in its carry bag (if applicable).

A pocket on the cot end for storing small items.

Wheels or castors make the cot easier to move, though some are light enough to move short distances without them.

Most models with wheels have lockable brakes on them. If not, they might instead have two non-wheeled legs which help stop the cot sliding about.

A mesh cover to keep insects away from your baby.

The base can be set to a higher position, suitable for a sleeping infant up to about six months of age.

An accessory that attaches to the top of the cot frame, creating a small surface for nappy changing.

Toy accessories can include mobiles that attach to the top of the cot, or other similar entertainment for your baby.

Customer Reviews

As a parent who travels constantly with their children, we are moving from place to place and value their healthy sleep. Using the Phil & Ted Traveller, we have found the versatility through all the ages of our baby has been absolutely great. From a newborn next to us in a hotel room, to a toddler with an ear infection where I could unzip the side and lay with her, the options make it parent/baby friendly. I also do love how light it is, easily fits in a suitcase or stroller bag, and so simple to set up.

Hi Anna, it's great to hear the 4-in-1 feature of the phil&teds traveller has helped you through all stages from newborn to toddler. We think event with all the added features it's still pretty neat and compact and perfect for travel. PTx

Terrible assembly instructions, mattress cover had hole in stitching, only used it the first night so will reserve judgement on it overall for a bit yet
