A travel cot and high chair can make an apartment stay feel manageable without consuming your luggage allowance. They are also safety-critical products that must suit the child and be assembled exactly as designed. Before renting, compare the provider's model information with your child's age, size, and developmental stage, then make sure the accommodation has enough clear space.

Check the travel cot setup

Ask for the exact model, internal dimensions, age or weight limits, and supplied parts. Use only the mattress or base intended for that cot unless the manufacturer explicitly permits another. Extra mattresses, folded blankets, pillows, bumpers, and improvised padding can create hazardous gaps or soft sleep surfaces. Follow current safe-sleep guidance from your child's health authority and place the cot away from cords, heaters, curtains, and unstable furniture.

Choose an appropriate high chair

Confirm that the chair supports your child's ability to sit and fits within its stated limits. Look for a stable base, intact restraint, secure tray or table attachment, and foot support if part of the design. Always use the restraint as instructed and keep the chair on a level surface away from hot drinks, tablecloths, and anything the child can push against.

Ask the accommodation first

Many Prague hotels provide cots or high chairs, but availability, condition, and model are not guaranteed by a generic room listing. Ask for written confirmation and clarify whether the item will be in the room at arrival. In apartments, request floor space measurements and note stairs or a small lift. Duplicating free hotel gear with a rental wastes both money and carrying effort.

Inspect and assemble carefully

At pickup, count all components and request the instructions. At the property, lock every frame joint and test stability before use. Do not use a cot with torn mesh, a poor-fitting base, or a high chair with a damaged restraint. Contact the provider if assembly is uncertain. Keep small carrying straps and bags away from children once the item is set up.
