It is lightweight and portable making it good for on the go, plus, the set also includes a colic bottle to help ease wind and discomfort and a dummy for your baby in case you need a spare to hand.

It does have a higher cost being UV, but even so, this is a great buy especially if you spend a fair bit of time travelling.

It is also very lightweight and compact and a good option if you live in a hard water area where limescale could be an issue with steam cleaners.
