Traveller by PHIL & TEDS

Well wow , this product HAS to get a big fat 10/10 from me. I’ve never needed a travel cot as we usually stay in hotels with cots but my recent trip to Dubai I stayed at my friends house so a travel cot was needed. 

I knew I just wanted a compact & light cot. No one wants to drag a heavy & bulky cot half way across the world. 

On doing a bit of research the one that stood out was the PHIL & TEDS TRAVELLER and it did not disappoint

• LIGHT!!! I was literally shocked at how light the whole thing was. 6LBS!!!!! That includes the bag, cot, mattress & fitted sheet. So good.
• Easy. So quick to assemble & take down so can quickly pack up and move it around 
• Mesh. Cool and free flowing air for warmer countries
• Zip down side. Perfect to use as a play pen

100% recommend this traveller and at £139 it’s super reasonable!!

Travelling with a 6 month old

So after our back to back stint of travelling when tayo was 4 months old we’ve stayed put for a couple months in the UK until today. My mother, Tayo and I are currently enroute to Dubai for a weeks holiday. A forever friend of mine relocated to Dubai about a year ago and has always had an open invitation for us to come and stay and when my husband told me he was travelling for work for 12 days I decided to completely gatecrash my mums relaxing holiday. Lucky her !

A week leading up to our flight I realised travelling with a weaning , combi fed ,teething , alert 6 month old was probably going to be slightly more challenging than our very chilled sleepy 4 month old. I wasn’t wrong lol. There’s soooo much more to take. Food, milk, toys, teethes, the list goes on. Not to mention the mathematics that goes into working out how many feeds / foods to take on board. Admittedly I probably should of prepared a bit better but me being me was packing the day before our flight running around town to find his premade formula that had miraculously sold out of everywhere.... 

LESSON 1 learnt- preparation is key!!
