Maxi-Cosi Calao Light Travel Cot

The Maxi-Cosi Calao Light Travel Cot is a compact, lightweight portable cot designed to give your little one a familiar place to rest away from home — whether that's a weekend away, a family visit or a summer holiday. It folds down in seconds and comes with its own travel bag, so it's easy to pack into the car and set up once you arrive. With two sleep levels and the CloudCore mattress, it's designed to suit both newborns and toddlers.

Suitable from birth to approximately 3 years (0–15 kg, 40–105 cm), the Calao Light can be used as a travel cot and a co-sleeper. The higher sleeping level keeps a newborn closer to the top of the cot, while the lower level and extendable mattress give an older, more mobile child room to stretch out. Its high mesh sides allow air to move through the cot and let you keep an eye on your little one at the same time.

Two sleep levels that grow with your child

The elevated newborn level raises the sleeping surface so you don't have to bend down as far to lift baby in and out — a small thing that makes a real difference in those early weeks. Once your little one reaches 9 kg or can sit up unaided, you switch to the lower level, at which point the mattress extends to an overall length of 1 metre to accommodate a growing toddler. A side entry window on the lower level lets a toddler climb in and out on their own.

Comfort and airflow

The CloudCore mattress combines high-density foam with a quilted organic cotton cover for a comfortable sleep surface at both levels. The high mesh sides give the cot a see-through, airy feel, supporting ventilation so your little one stays comfortable through the seasons.

Easy to pack, quick to set up

Weighing just under 6 kg (5.98 kg), the Calao Light is easy to carry, and it folds and unfolds quickly — in fact, it folds in seconds without needing to press a button, and you can even fold it with the newborn level still in place. The fabrics unzip easily and are machine washable at 30 °C, so keeping it fresh between trips is straightforward. As part of Maxi-Cosi's Beyond Collection, it features recycled fabrics, premium details and wood-effect finishes, and is available in a choice of colours.

Best For

The Maxi-Cosi Calao Light Travel Cot is a great option for parents who:

• Travel or stay over with family often and want a portable cot that folds down small and packs into its own bag
• Want a single cot that works from newborn through to around 3 years, thanks to the two sleep levels and extendable mattress
• Prefer a raised newborn level so there's less bending when lifting baby in and out
• Value machine-washable fabrics for easy cleaning on the go

It may not be the best fit if you:

• Need a permanent, full-size cot for everyday use at home rather than a travel-focused setup

Disclaimer

For sleep, use only the complete, correctly set-up cot with the supplied CloudCore mattress at the correct level for your child's stage. Do not add an extra mattress, topper, pillow, loose bedding or additional padding, as this can create gaps or affect the sleep surface. Switch from the higher level to the lower level once your little one reaches 9 kg or can sit up unaided.

Pandylane Pro Tip: If you'd like fitted sheets, the Maxi-Cosi Calao Light bedsheets are made from 100% organic cotton and are shaped to fit both mattress sizes, so they suit the cot at either sleep level.
