The ‘Bugaboo Stardust’ is a portable travel cot that can be unfolded into a ready-to-use crib without requiring substantive assembly, allowing for quick deployment.
This unique travel cot happens to use a single-piece frame with a built-in mattress and mesh panels, creating a contained resting space for infants that can be set up in near-instantaneous fashion. The one-second pop-up mechanism of the cot permits it to be opened by pulling it into place. Folding follows the same logic, collapsing the cot into a compact form factor with the mattress already integrated, eliminating the need to remove it between uses.
Designed for both comfort and mobility in equal measure, the ‘Bugaboo Stardust’ can be procured for a price of $349. It is available in sleek black and lighter desert taupe color options.
