Best portable cots
When tested to the portable cot safety standards, we’ve found that the majority of portacots have multiple safety failures. But we do find ones to recommend.
Our lab test results will show you the portacots that:
- pass important safety tests that look for mattress firmness and good airflow as per the Australian standard for folding cots (AS/NZS 2195:2010)
- are the lightest to carry
- are easy to fold, unfold and pack away.
From 19th January 2026, new mandatory standards apply to infant sleeping surfaces (including portable cots) and manufacturers must comply with these new standards. These changes include a number of additional design and construction requirements as well as new information requirements.
While the products in this review are tested to the relevant standards at the time, we will be testing new portable cots later in 2026 to the new standard requirements.
Check our list of the latest portable cots we’ve tested that fail our key safety tests, and read more about our call for stronger product safety laws.
