It's also easy to put together and folds flat for easy transportation. Some moms complained that it was somewhat heavy, however, and this may be an issue for those with mobility issues.

The Maxi-Cosi Lora is another option to think about. It won Gold in the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards for the Best Cot or Crib.
