These are the two travel cots most often cross-shopped when parents want something better than a budget hinged frame. Both are suitable from birth in the right configuration; the real split is bassinet convenience versus pop-up speed.

## Our verdict

 
For most UK families the Joie is the smarter buy — the bassinet and changing tray earn their keep on night feeds at a grandparent's house. The Stardust is worth the premium if you regularly assemble a cot in hotel rooms and hate hinged frames; otherwise you are paying for convenience you may use twice a year.
