How to choose a travel cot?

On what criteria should you choose your travel cot?

Pour bien choisir votre lit parapluie, prenez en compte vos besoins récurrents. Souhaitez-vous acheter un lit parapluie tout-en-un qui puisse accueillir une table à langer et qui dispose de plusieurs rangements et d’un matelas intégré ? Ou au contraire, préférez-vous un lit parapluie très léger, et rapide à plier et à déplier ? Un bon lit parapluie sera celui qui répond à tous vos besoins et à ceux de bébés. Néanmoins, la sécurité reste l’élément clé pour choisir votre lit parapluie. Vérifiez bien que votre lit parapluie réponde aux normes de sécurité en vigueur avant de l’acheter pour vous assurer des déplacements sereins et sécurisés, et de bonnes nuits à votre nourrisson. Par ailleurs, tous les lits parapluies ne sont pas fabriqués avec les mêmes matériaux. Si votre bébé a des allergies, pensez à choisir un lit parapluie adapté. Il existe différents modèles, en bois, en acier, ou encore en tissu.

Optimisez vos déplacements

Au moment de faire votre choix, rappelez-vous que votre lit parapluie aura vocation à être utilisé lors de vos déplacements. Nous vous conseillons donc fortement les modèles disposant de roulettes, ou équipés d’un sac de transport permettant une mobilité optimale. Autre point important, n’hésitez pas à choisir un lit parapluie facile à nettoyer !

Comment déplier un lit parapluie ?

Il n’y a rien de plus simple que de déplier un lit parapluie, sachant qu’il est justement conçu pour être plié et déplié facilement. La plupart des lits parapluies sont pensés selon le même principe. Il vous suffit d’écarter les quatre pieds qui composent le lit, et d’appuyer au niveau du centre pour déplier complètement le lit. Néanmoins, pour une utilisation optimale, nous vous conseillons de vous référer à la notice d’utilisation, ou aux vidéos explicatives disponibles en ligne. Et pour toujours plus de sécurité lors de vos déplacements avec votre bébé, retrouvez notre sélection des meilleurs réhausseurs fabriqués en France !

Comment replier un lit parapluie ?

Il y a plusieurs façons de replier un lit parapluie, tout dépend du type de lit et de la housse ou du sac de transport dont vous disposez. Néanmoins, lorsqu’un lit parapluie est déplié, une sécurité s’enclenche pour éviter que le lit ne se referme de lui-même. Il vous faudra donc désenclencher cette sécurité pour rabattre les quatre pieds du lit et remettre le lit dans sa housse. Certains lits ne sont pas fournis avec le matelas intégré, il faudra donc bien penser à le retirer et à ranger le matelas dans sa protection individuelle. N’hésitez pas à consulter la notice explicative fournie avec votre lit parapluie, ou à regarder les vidéos explicatives disponibles sur le Net pour une utilisation aussi sécurisée que possible !
