Maxi-Cosi Iris2 Travel Cot review
Maxi-Cosi Iris2, 2-in-1 Baby Travel Cot, Essential Graphite
By Tom Calder
A well-reviewed travel cot from an established UK nursery brand, with two sleep levels that take a baby from newborn through to toddler. It's a bigger outlay than most items in a baby emergency kit, so it earns its place best as dual-purpose kit rather than a single-use emergency buy.
- Best for
- Families who want one cot that works as everyday travel kit and doubles as a ready sleep space if you ever need to move a baby at short notice.
- Skip it if
- You already have a usable travel cot, Moses basket, or similar

Researched, not used. We haven't used this product. This review is built from the maker's specifications, owner reports and our own sizing.
What we like
- Doubles as an everyday travel cot — not money spent on something that only sits in a cupboard
- Two adjustable sleep levels cover newborn to 3 years (0–15kg) in one product
- Comes with its own carry bag, so it's already grab-and-go packable
Worth knowing
- One of the pricier single items you'd add to a baby emergency kit
- 5.4–6kg plus the bag adds real weight if you'd need to carry a kit far on foot

Who shouldn't buy this
Don't buy this specifically for an emergency kit if you already have a usable travel cot, Moses basket, or similar — the safety point is having any familiar, safe sleep space ready, not this particular model.
