Venture Airpod Travel Cot review
By Tom Calder
A well-reviewed, quick-folding, fold-out travel cot with a newborn bassinet insert and playpen mode, so it covers birth to around age three. It is an everyday item, not an emergency-only purchase, but that dual use is exactly why it earns a place in a household kit list.
- Best for
- Families who want one travel cot that earns its keep on holidays and doubles as baby's familiar bed if you need to decamp to a relative's or a rest centre.
- Skip it if
- You already own a travel cot or bedside crib you'd grab to take to a relative's

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
- Unfolds and packs down in minutes into its own carry bag
- Newborn bassinet insert (included on this listing) plus playpen (side-zip) mode extends useful life from birth to about 3 years
- Breathable mesh sides and certified to EN716-1:2017
Worth knowing
- Sides can be high to lift a sleeping baby out if you're shorter
- A minority of reviewers report a crinkly/noisy mattress cover that can't be removed for washing

Who shouldn't buy this
Don't buy one specifically for the emergency kit if you already own a travel cot or bedside crib you'd grab to take to a relative's — this only earns its place if it's the one you'd use day-to-day too.
