Best way of getting a travel cot/cot to Spain?

angelfire

Hi, we are holidaying in ahouse in Spain this year and have a 15month old with us for whom we need a travel cot, or cot in situ...

We already own a travel cot but to take this would take up a lot of our baggage allowance on the plane so I need an alternative.. I have found two lightweight pop up style ones for around £50 but it's quite expensive.

Can anyone recommend perhaps a nursery goods store in Spain with a website where I could buy a cot/travel cot and have it sent to the house at which were staying? I could then leave it out there you see...

Thanks in advance,

Dee

check with your airline if it is def included in baggage allowance. I took one and a buggy to canada and it wasn't included.

Try https://www.elcorteingles.es. They've got stores everywhere in Spain.

There are a fair few companies who will lease baby equipment such as cots/buggies etc, even deliver nappies/sterliliing equipment.

What area of spain are you going to and I'll try to find you a relevant link?

I have taken a heavy travel cot on both Ryanair and Easyjet and neither seemed to include it as part of my baggage allowance.

Ryanair has recently changed their policy on luggage. They charge you for every case you check in and you are only allowed one hand luggage piece. My sister wanted to bring me my guitar and phoned to ask, and after being redirected several times and being charged more for every call, she was advised to book another seat only for the guitar.

Hi, were flying with Thomson one way and Monarch the other, I've emailed both to confirm but think Thomson count it as part of your baggage allowance and Monarch don't - which doesn't help really as were flying Thomson out!

I'm also taking the buggy and our own carseat or I could have absorbed the extra weight if it was just the cot...
