Effortless Travel, Exceptional Comfort, Every Single Time

Travelling with a baby or toddler brings its own particular set of challenges — and finding a travel cot that genuinely delivers on comfort, convenience, and longevity is rarely straightforward. The Maxi-Cosi Merlin changes that entirely. Combining a revolutionary flash-fold system with a premium sleep surface and a generously proportioned sleeping space, the Merlin is the travel cot that makes life on the move feel as relaxed and comfortable as life at home — for your little one and for you.

Setup in Seconds — No Fuss, No Frustration

For parents who have ever wrestled with a traditional travel cot in a hotel room whilst a tired, impatient toddler looks on, the Merlin's setup experience will feel like a revelation.

The Flash-Fold System — One Push, One Pull

Unfolding the Merlin takes a single push. Packing it away again takes a single pull. That's genuinely all there is to it — no complicated mechanisms, no awkward folding sequences, no consulting the instruction booklet. The Merlin is ready for rest, play, or travel in moments, standing upright on its own when folded for neat, space-efficient storage. A dedicated travel bag is included as standard, keeping everything together and making transportation effortless whether you're heading to the grandparents or catching a flight.

Four smooth-rolling wheels with integrated brakes make repositioning the Merlin within a room simple and secure — move it easily, lock it firmly in place, and carry on with your day.

A Sleep Surface That Truly Delivers

Comfort at home and comfort on the road should never be mutually exclusive — and with the Merlin, they aren't.

The CloudCore Mattress — 3cm of Signature Support

At the heart of the Merlin's sleep experience is the 3cm CloudCore high-density foam mattress, a notably generous sleeping surface that provides consistent, cushioned support wherever your family happens to be. Encased in a 100% organic cotton cover that is wonderfully soft against even the most sensitive newborn skin, it creates a sleep environment that feels nurturing, familiar, and genuinely restful night after night.

Breathable mesh sides ensure a steady flow of fresh air around your child throughout the night, helping to regulate temperature and maintain comfortable sleeping conditions regardless of the season or the room. A softly padded top rail adds a final layer of reassuring comfort, rounding off a sleep setup that feels every bit as considered as a permanent nursery cot.

Freedom and Independence as They Grow

The Merlin isn't just designed for babies — it's built to remain genuinely useful all the way through to age four.

Side Access for Curious, Confident Toddlers

A zip-open side panel allows older children to clamber in and out of the Merlin entirely independently — a small but meaningful detail that nurtures confidence, encourages self-sufficiency, and saves parents from the daily ritual of lifting a determined toddler in and out of their sleeping space. Adventure starts here, even at bedtime.

A Full-Size 120x60cm Sleeping Space

With a generous 120x60cm sleeping area, the Merlin provides ample room for your child to stretch out, roll over, and sleep comfortably at every stage from newborn through to age four. No upgrading, no outgrowing, no additional purchases — just one beautifully designed cot that keeps pace with your child's growth effortlessly.

Designed for Modern Family Life

The Merlin's clean, contemporary aesthetic — with its neutral tones and sleek fold-flat profile — sits as comfortably in a stylish hotel room as it does in a family home. It is the travel cot for parents who refuse to compromise on either practicality or appearance, bringing a refined, considered quality to every journey.
