Red Kite Sleeptight Travel Cot

4.6 (10700)on Kiddies Kingdom →
The BubsNest Verdict

This gets the job done for occasional overnight stays but the wafer-thin mattress and frustrating fold-up mechanism make it more hassle than it's worth for frequent use. Perfect for grandparents' houses or rare weekend trips, but skip it if you're planning regular travel or want your toddler to actually sleep comfortably.

⚠️You'll absolutely need to buy a separate travel cot mattress because the included one is basically cardboard wrapped in fabric.

6.5

Decent

The Red Kite Sleeptight Travel Cot is a budget-friendly, lightweight option that some parents find useful, though the thin mattress and fiddly setup are common complaints. It may work well for shorter trips, but parents note it's not ideal for longer use or heavier toddlers.

What parents love

Lightweight and CompactParents appreciate that the Red Kite Sleeptight is lightweight and folds down into a compact carry bag, making it easy to transport on public transport or when travelling.
Versatile SizeThe cot is large enough to be used as both a travel cot and a playpen, providing good value for the price.
Dirt-Resistant ColourThe black colour option helps to hide dirt and stains, which is convenient for a well-used travel cot.

Worth knowing

Thin MattressMany parents find the included mattress to be too thin and uncomfortable, requiring them to purchase a separate, thicker mattress.
Difficult SetupSetting up and taking down the Red Kite Sleeptight can be a bit fiddly and time-consuming, which may be frustrating for some parents.
Lack of WheelsThe absence of wheels makes the cot less convenient to move around, especially when transporting it longer distances.

Best for

  • Shorter trips and occasional use
  • Parents looking for a budget-friendly travel cot option

May not suit

  • Longer-term use or heavier toddlers
  • Parents who prioritise ease of setup and transportation

Tips from parents

Mattress Upgrade

Consider purchasing a thicker, more comfortable mattress to use with the Red Kite Sleeptight, as the included one is quite thin.

Cleaning

The non-removable fabric can be a bit tricky to clean, so parents recommend spot cleaning with a damp sponge as needed.
