Carrycot

A carrycot is a small, portable cot that attaches to the frame of a pram and allows infants to rest comfortably while traveling. It's ideal from birth until your child is able to sit unassisted, usually at around 6 months. A carrycot can be used as an alternative to a crib or a moses basket. It can also double up as a bed to use when you're away from home.
