Graco Travel Cot Review

Why you should buy this product?

• Highly commended
• Easily assembly
• Light for portability
• Unisex colours
• Soft mesh design

Graco compact travel cot offers an easy assembly travel cot , with a push-button fold and includes a carry bag for portability. Originally offering one of the world’s first children’s swings, Graco is a company that offers a variety of practical children’s products such as strollers, high chairs, swings, carriers, car seats and play yards/bassinets.

This particular model is a must-have for an overnight stay away from home, whether it be with family, camping or for going on holiday, it makes traveling with your little one non-fuss.

Weighing in at a lightweight 8.95kg, the Graco compact travel cot is highly portable and light to carry. The travel bag that comes with most travel cots can be a little difficult to use but this one is nice and easy to get the main cot into and easy to carry.

Available in either grey or black, it provides a neutral unisex cot that you can purchase ahead of birth if you didn’t wish to know your baby’s gender prior to birth. What makes this useful is just how easy to assemble it is.

Simply lock the end rails by pulling both sides up at once, push the center down and install the mattress. For dismantling, remove the mattress and pull the center up, pull up the end rails and push the buttons, two opposite sides at a time, lower each rail, and pull the centre up for folding away.

Its four mesh walls, meaning you can see baby from every angle was a big bonus for us. We had the worry without first of anyways wanting to check on her every 5 minutes but with this travel cot we were able to see her through it wherever she was as long as we had a clear line of site.

Compared to other makes, this is a very cheap, yet well-recommended design coming in at 4.8 of 5 stars online.

reasons we love

What can’t we say about how great this product is? Its cheap, light, unisex, and comes with a soft mesh design so you can be assured your little one will have a comfortable sleep no matter where you take them.

This makes a great product for grandparents, and other family members where the child does not normally stay with you in how easy it is to store away, or for family holidays.

Reasons we dont like

There really isn’t anything negative to say about the Graco compact travel cot, it is a great all-round product.

Some other parents have reported that the base that it comes with is not soft enough for a baby to sleep on, but for the price and the product it offers, it’s worth every penny.

Cot mattresses as well come very cheaply, which if you factor in the price of this Graco model, it would actually be beneficial to purchase a cot mattress separately.

About Graco

Aside from its travel cots, Graco has also been very innovative in creating some of the world’s first baby and toddler products. It introduced the travel system to the market, the first time you could attach a car seat to a stroller.

The blossom 4 in 1 highchair was the first high chair with growing stages in mind to last your child from infancy to big kid, as well as the ‘Pack’N’Play’ play yard so you can leave your infant to play in comfort, safe in the knowledge you can go about your day.

Designed by other parents, Graco considers all of your child’s needs, so you don’t have to.

Graco FoldLite review

The Graco FoldLite is a compact travel cot that can fold in two ways and is suitable from birth to approximately three years old. Not only is the FoldLite hailed by parents for its lightweight frame, but it has also won a prestigious Mother&Baby Awards 2023 Bronze award.

Collapsing to only 26cm wide, the FoldLite travel cot has a mesh lining and two wheels for easy manoeuvrability, plus it comes with mattress included. The FoldLite comes with a Home Fold feature to help fold away quickly and clear space within seconds.

Graco FoldLite key features

Has two wheels : for easy manoeuvrability

Easy-view mesh : to see baby from all sides and to help increase airflow

Padded rails : for added comfort and safety

Testing the Graco FoldLite

Our parent testers put the Graco Foldlite to the test and here is what they thought.

Archana said: "The product when opened out itself is fantastic - robust for a child to be in to sleep or to use as a safe space to place your child when you need your hands free. The bottom is soft too. My child enjoyed being within it and could still see me through the side panels and was happy to be sat with toys. The thing I found I didn’t get on with is the dismantling. Folding into the slide away is easy - and really handy for day to day use - that’s what I liked most about it - however folding away fully and putting in the bag is quite clunky and a chore."

Holly said: "The cot is very easy to put together. The cot unfolds and just clicks together, only two of the sides need to click together due to the way it is folded which makes putting the cot up and down much easier and quicker. We have now replaced the travel cot at my mum's house with this one as it is a lot easier and quicker for her to use."

Sarah said: "The Foldlite travel cot has been most useful to us for quick and easy use around the house with a mobile baby. It genuinely is two clicks to put up or down and the house fold setting means I can quickly pop it out from next to the sofa if I need to iron or nip to the toilet and pop it back in a few seconds so it’s not taking over the room. It would be invaluable for this in a holiday cottage which is less baby-proofed too! It seems both comfy and robust for my very mobile ten month old and he’ll play happily in it with some toys thrown in for a while. When folded down for travel it’s small and neat and doesn’t take up too much valuable boot space when you’re already contending with buggies and suitcases. The grandparents popped it up without instructions and my ten month old slept happily in it."

Georgia said: "We had used a travel cot before and it was very bulky, took up a lot of room when we were travelling and also didn’t fold as easy. Love the fact that when we tuck the FoldLite away after being used as a play pen it folds easy and can be stored - doesn’t take up too much room. The only issue I had with it was once wrapping the mattress around the base you do have to pull it quite tightly to then fit it in the bag."

Catrina said: "I cannot really think of anything that I would change. The only thing I can think of would be to have a little changing mat for the top of it that you can add on. I know that this would then effect the overall weight of the travel cot though so I cannot decide whether it’s a good idea or not. Really good without it."

Joanna said: "I think the one thing that I would change about the product would be to have alternating leg lengths or height so it could be used raised from the floor as well as on the floor. I feel like this would be easier for things like naps and transporting baby in and out of it. It has quite a large high sides so it can be difficult to reach within, especially if you have a bad back."

Best travel cots 2024: tried and tested by real parents

Whether used at home, at the grandparents' or as a playpen, a travel cot can be a familiar place for your baby to sleep, wherever they are. After rigorous research and testing, we reveal the best travel cots to buy in 2024.

By Poppy O'Neill | Last updated Jul 2, 2024

Deal Alert: Joie Kubbie Sleep Travel Cot, £90 NOW £50!

The bassinet level is so handy and baby (who was probably about 4 months at the time) slept like a dream in it. I think he liked the fact it was quite small and has mesh sides, nice and cosy. I imagine that will be nice for a newborn too.

Joie Kubbie Sleep Travel Cot

Was £90 Now £50

While you may have dedicated a lot of time to finding the best crib , moses basket or cot bed for your child, we tend to give less thought to which travel cot to buy. But getting the best sleep possible is just as important while you're away from home, so we've put some of the best travel cots on the market through their paces.

While they're mainly used for overnight stays at a grandparent's house, or longer holidays, travel cots can also be used instead of a traditional crib or playpen for both babies and toddlers. They are portable, easy to carry, fit in your car boot and should be fairly lightweight too. Pack your travel cot along with a baby monitor and your little one's best baby blanket and you're good to go.

We put several of our best travel cot picks through their paces with real parent-testers and their babies and toddlers. We also turned to the Mumsnet forums - home of the UK's largest network of parents - to seek out authentic recommendations and honest reviews of the travel cots they'd used with their own children. Referring to expert review sites for extra information, we collated all the information to bring you our top picks, of the best travel cots 2024.

Bugaboo Stardust Travel Cot, £225

Great quality mattress

Takes just one second to unfold and three seconds to fold

Can be folded with the mattress left in

Carrycot insert for newborns

On the expensive side

Only suitable up to 2 years

Price on writing: £225 | Suitable from: Birth to two years | Weight: 6.7kg

Tried and tested by Mumsnet: Read our in-depth Bugaboo Stardust travel cot review

For those considering a travel cot to use from birth, the Bugaboo Stardust is a great option. It comes with a carrycot insert which means the cot can be used as a bedside crib - perfect for co-sleeping away from home.

It has a height-adjustable mattress and an incredibly easy fold up and down. When folded up, the travel cot is nice and slim, making for easy storage. The mattress is great quality and thicker than the others on our list. At just over £200, it's on the premium end of the spectrum, and the manufacturer recommends only using it up to 2 years, so it doesn't have quite the longevity of most other travel cots, which generally can be used until the age of three.

Great for parents who

Want to co-sleep safely away from home

Are expecting to use the cot frequently for sleeping

BabyBjörn Travel Cot Light, £198

Durable construction

Very comfy mattress

Mattress and fabric is removable and machine-washable

Mattress is fairly close to the floor – one side can be unzipped for easy access though

It’s one of the more expensive cots around

Price on writing: £220 | Suitable from: Birth to three years | Weight: 6kg (including carry bag)

Tried and tested by Mumsnet: Read our full BabyBjorn Light review

If you have a little extra to spend, then the luxury and comfort of BabyBjörn's Light will make sleepovers fuss-free no matter where you go. Our tester found it sturdy, simple to set-up and really easy to transport. The mattress is considerably more comfy than those you'll find in cheaper travel cots, and all the fabric parts are removable and machine washable.

The main drawback is the price tag, but if you have the means, then this cot won't let you down.

Tried and tested by Mumsnet: Read our full Joie kubbie™ Sleep review

The Joie kubbie™ Sleep is a real steal and a brilliant choice for new parents who want something that covers all bases - that's why we've named it our best travel cot overall for 2024. Versatile in style and cocoon-like in the way it nurtures and grows with newborns, the kubbie™ Sleep also comes with a bassinet that can easily be attached and detached.

A unique feature of the kubbie™ Sleep that our tester was impressed by is that when your baby is in the bassinet, you can tuck the cot close to your bed and adjust the height of the crib so that it acts like a co-sleeper. It's a lovely feature if you're travelling with a tiny baby, it provides extra peace of mind and easy access for changing and breastfeeding .

Doesn't have wheels

Price on writing: £35 | Suitable from: Birth to three years (or able to climb out) | Weight: 8.5 kg | Dimensions when assembled: 76 x 103 x 73cm

Tried and tested by Mumsnet : Read our full Red Kite Sleeptight Travel Cot review .

Robust and simple in design, the Red Kite Sleeptight Travel Cot is a basic, practical travel cot that you'll be glad to have for the odd night away from home with your little one. With breathable mesh on four sides, a carry bag and padding over the poles and edges, it's got everything you need for a safe night's sleep - or a handy play pen.

Mumsnetters say the mattress could be thicker and better quality, which is often the case with cheaper travel cots. If you're looking for a separate mattress, this one from Mother Nurture fits the Red Kite perfectly and folds up for extra practicality while on-the-go.

BabyDan Extra Large Travel Cot, £85

Extra large (120 x 60 cm) so you can use your cot mattress for extra comfort

Travel bag included

Has a handy storage pocket

No stand-out features such as newborn insert

Quite a basic design

Price on writing: £83 | Suitable from: Not specified | Weight: 8 kg | Size when assembled: 60 x 120 x 80cm

Looking for a travel cot under £100 big enough to last at least as long as your little one's cot ? Look no further.

The BabyDan Travel Cot may not feature all the bells and whistles of the likes of Bugaboo or Babybjorn, but at the same size as most standard cots, it's large enough to keep going until your toddler is ready to make the switch into a bigger toddler bed .

Similar in design to the Red Kite, you get a little more space for your money here as well as little extra touches such as the handy side pocket in which you can store nappies , blankets or toys during your travels. Sure, its larger size may be an issue if you're short on space, but being able to fit a standard cot mattress is also a big bonus - as most travel cot mattresses are known for being quite thin.

Silver Cross Slumber travel cot, £195

Has a 3-in-1 design so works as a newborn co-sleeper, a playpen and travel cot up to three years

Sloped sides mean toddlers less likely to climb out

Has a zip-up door

Can be a bit tricky to put up for the first time

Sloped legs can take some getting used to - you may trip on them at first!

Price on writing: £190 | Suitable from: Birth to three years (or able to climb out) | Weight: 6.25 kg | Size when folded up : L88 x W34 x H17cm | Size when assembled: L112 x W80 x H67cm

Tried and tested by Mumsnet : Read our full Silver Cross Slumber travel cot review

If you're looking for a travel cot you can use right from birth up until your toddler is three, the Silver Cross Slumber offers a sleek, simple solution from a trusted brand.

The sloped sides mean toddlers are less likely to be able to climb out but still have plenty of space to play, and there's also a little zip-up door in the side which makes it feel more fun (and less like a 'baby cage'!)

While our tester found it slightly tricky to assemble the first time around, this was a minor niggle as she pointed out that she's likely to get so much use out of the Slumber travel cot, putting it up and down will soon become second nature.

Our tester was also particularly impressed with how lightweight the Slumber was to carry, despite its robust sturdiness when assembled.

Graco FoldLite LX Travel Cot, £175

Lightweight and easy to fold up and down

Collapses to just 26 cm wide

Comes with a removable infant bassinet

2 wheels for easy manoeuvring

The mattress could be thicker

Price on writing: £85 | Suitable from: Birth to three years (or able to climb out) | Weight: 6.78 kg

Tried and tested by Mumsnet: Read our in-depth Graco FoldLite LX Travel Cot review

With two ways to fold, the Graco FoldLite LX is a brilliant cot for frequent use. The quick fold is designed for speed, while 'Home Fold' is ultra-thin at just 26cm wide - perfect for storing away at home.

We love the two-wheel design that makes the cot easy to drag around, and it's not bad to look at either. The base is one of the lowest to the ground on our list, making it a good option for using as a playpen. It also comes with a removable infant bassinet for smaller babies.

Graco are well-loved by Mumsnetters thanks to their good-quality, affordable baby gear, and this travel cot is no exception.

Tried and tested by Mumsnet: Read our full LittleLife Arc 2 review

The LittleLife Arc 2 is extremely lightweight (practically featherweight, really, at just 2.5kg), is designed just like a tent and can be folded down compactly to fit into a backpack, which comes with it. This makes it perfect for use on public transport, holidays and camping.

It works just as well outdoors as it does indoors and is great for those grab-and-go moments. Our tester really liked its tent-like design - close to the floor means there's no risk of kids falling out and the cosier sleeping space makes it ideal for younger babies. She was also impressed by the mosquito net - perfect for travel wherever you're headed.

Winner of the Mumsnet Best Travel Cot 2018 award, the Joie Commuter Change didn’t quite make our top five this year, but it’s still a great product and definitely worth considering.

Our tester loved all the added extras that come with the Commuter Change. Not only is there a full-size bassinet, which will save your back when reaching down to your child, but the cot also comes with a changing table which handily clips onto the top.

Plenty of space for toddlers inside

Comfortable

Designed for maximum airflow (ideal for summer holidays!)

Not a lot of outstanding features

Price on writing: £250 | Suitable from: Birth to 15kg | Size when assembled: L103cm x W76cm x H73cm | Size when folded: L30cm x W24cm x H86cm | Weight : 12kg

Tried and tested by Mumsnet : Read our full Nuna Sena Aire Travel Cot review

Although it's one of the more premium travel cots on our list, our parent-tester was particularly impressed with the sturdiness of the Nuna Sena Aire travel cot, saying she had no worries about it moving when put through its paces by her toddler daughter.

The Nuna features breathable mesh sides and a ventilated mesh mattress, which is particularly useful if you're travelling to sunnier climes - and it's very simple to put up, even if you're on the petite side. If you need a reliable, premium travel cot for frequent use, the Nuna is a solid option on a cost-per-use basis, but if you're looking for something to use once or twice a year, there isn't anything particularly remarkable which makes this one stand out above its cheaper peers.

What age is a travel cot for?

This type of cot is usually used from the newborn stage up until toddlerhood – or until the little wriggler can climb out by themselves.

Do I actually need a travel cot?

The short answer is: no, not necessarily, but that depends entirely on your lifestyle.

Portable beds can be expensive and can take up unnecessary space in an otherwise baby-filled home, so if you think you'll only get use out of one for two weeks of the year, then you could probably do without.

If you already have a co-sleeper, Moses basket or carrycot that you use with a travel system , you might be able to use that when you're away from home with a smaller baby.

If, however, you tend to travel often or think your little one will have regular sleepovers with the grandparents, then a travel cot is a great solution.

It'll not only be easier to cart around, but it'll offer a familiar and comforting environment for your child no matter where they rest their head.

Are travel cots safe?

Safety is crucial when buying a travel bed for your little one so, while all products should have some sort of testing certification, be sure to check the safety features out yourself.

If you plan to buy in-store, ask to see it being assembled

Check how sturdy it is – could it withstand being knocked into?

Look for safety locks on wheels if there are any – can they also be tucked away when not in use?

Choking hazards are also something to look out for so make sure that small parts, like zips, are well covered

Check for sharp corners and padded rails

Assess whether your child would be able to climb out easily – check that the side panels are high enough

Safe sleeping and travel cot mattresses

The Lullaby Trust says that all cots need to comply with British Standards Institution (BSI) safety standards regardless of how old they are. If there is no safety standard number visible then you shouldn't buy it.

When it comes to safe sleeping, they also insist that the bed's original mattress needs to be firm, entirely flat and waterproof with no soft or cushioned areas, particularly around the baby's head. Babies should be placed on their backs with their feet at the foot of the cot.

Soft mattresses are known to increase the risk of SIDS as they make it harder for babies to lose body heat, which can cause them to become too hot.

Sleep positioners and pillows must not be used and there should also be no loose or bulky bedding inside the crib as this can cause a baby to overheat.

Even if the mattress feels thin, don't be tempted to place folded blankets underneath your child. Go for a baby sleeping bag or a well-fitted swaddle instead.

The Lullaby Trust also advise that portable cribs aren’t placed against radiators and remain out of reach of blind cords.

How much does a travel cot cost?

Prices range from £20 to over £200, and your budget will probably depend entirely on how much you think you'll use it.

As with anything, the most expensive option won't necessarily be best suited to you and your child. Some cheaper models may do just the trick and will last well into the toddler years too.

Can I buy one secondhand?

Yes, you can, but make sure you always follow the manufacturer's instructions before using.

Make sure it isn’t damaged or broken, that the frame is intact and that there aren’t any sharp edges that could cause injury. If possible, ask to assemble and fold it down before you buy to check it works as it should.

Secondhand travel cots can go from anywhere between £10 and £80.

Other things to consider when buying a travel cot

1. portability.

Check the size and weight. Can it be folded down compactly? Is it likely to fit into the boot of your car?

If you tend to travel by public transport, you'll want a bed that's lightweight and easy to carry. For planes, some small cots may even be able to fit into an overhead locker.

2. Assembly and storage

By nature, travel beds are usually easy to put up and fold down. Pop-ups are, of course, the easiest, but check to see if your chosen product is quick to assemble, fold and pack away.

When it comes to storage, the amount of space you have at home will influence your decision.

Some models have mattresses that fold with the frame before they go into a bag, and most will fit into the back of a cupboard or under a bed when stored away.

3. How to clean

Babies create mess – and a lot of it too. Look for a removable mattress that comes with a fitted sheet, which you will be able to stick in the washing machine.

Some cots have removable side panels, but if they don’t then you can always wipe them clean with warm water.

4. Extra features

Many larger models double up as a playpen which is great for keeping your child safe at all times no matter where they are. Some even come with changing tables, mobiles and bassinets for newborns.

You’ll find that the added extras will usually need to be carried separately once the frame is folded down. Brands that offer attachments like these include Joie (the Joie Commuter Change won Mumsnet Best Travel Cot 2018), BabyBjorn and Graco.

Some, like the Arc 2, also come with added extras like built-in mosquito nets for camping.

What's the best travel cot to buy?

The Joie kubbie Sleep is the best travel cot to buy in 2024. Mumsnetters love that it doubles as a co-sleeper, making it a versatile, useful and great value buy. The compact design makes it easy to transport and set up, while the bedside feature allows for easy access to your baby during the night. Overall, the Joie Baby Kubbie Sleep Bedside Travel Cot is a great choice for parents looking for a safe and comfortable sleep solution for their little one.

How we tested and why you should trust us

For continuity, we try to get one tester to test all the products in a single category. This reduces any potential variables during the testing process and ensures that our results are based on like-for-like comparisons. After approximately 24 hours of research, our tester, Ruth, produced a shortlist of 14 cots to put to the test. The list included the most highly recommended cots by Mumsnet users and other review sites, plus a wide range of designs and price tags, from nifty pop-ups to more studier models akin to traditional cribs.

Each product was tested in rooms with both carpet and laminate flooring, then scored on six key areas:

Safety and stability

Comfort and day-to-day use, cleanliness, value for money.

Five products were then awarded a Mumsnet Best badge – these are the products that we feel offer the absolute best value for most parents. We also gave honourable mentions to four others.

Ruth scored each product based on each criteria below, with the highest scoring coming out on top as the overall winner. Honourable mentions were then given to nine other top-performing beds.

We looked at a number of factors including:

Durability and materials – how well was each product made and finished?

Safety features – did the product have padded rails, lockable wheels, mesh ventilation, firm bedding, a locking system etc? And could a baby's fingers become trapped? Ruth studied everything from the frame to the mattress

Choking hazards – were there any parts that could come loose?

Sturdiness – she walked into it, knocked it against furniture and dropped it when assembled and packed away. Could each cot withstand the weight of both an adult and child if accidentally fallen into?

Safety standards – she also looked for the appropriate safety labels

Height of side panels – could a child climb out easily?

Assembly and folding

How straightforward was it to assemble and fold?

Were written or visual instructions clear and precise? Could the instructions also be accessed online and were there video tutorials to guide you through?

Each cot was assembled and taken down 20 times – this was also timed to see how long it would take

We also wanted to see which products might cause difficulty for people with mobility issues and which were the easiest to assemble and take down

Ruth also considered how easy it would be to access spare parts and whether each cot came with a warranty

Ruth looked at how much space the cot took up in a room – did it slot in easily, and was it more suited to indoors or outdoors?

Could it be moved around easily, particularly through doorways, from one room to another, and up and down the stairs? Did it have to be folded in order to do so?

How easy was it to place the child inside? Could the side panels be lowered?

When inside, was the little one comfy? Did they like it and was there enough room to sleep and to play?

Was it heavy to carry and did it fit comfortably in the boot of an average-sized family car? Could it be taken on public transport easily?

Ruth analysed looks, including colours, fabrics and overall design

Did the bed fit in with the décor? Was the design attractive and user-friendly?

Were there different colours to choose from?

The likes of mud, sand, peanut butter, milk and orange juice were smeared and spilled onto the interior and exterior to see how easy stains were to remove

Ruth also checked for removable bedding that could easily be thrown into the washing machine

We tested products with a variety of price tags and compared the more expensive models to those that were cheaper

If pricey, was it worth the price tag?

And were there any extras included to make the investment more justified?

How real-life comparative testing makes Mumsnet Reviews unique

We commissioned Ruth Lumley to write about and test a variety of toddler and baby travel cots. Ruth is a journalist who has used a number of baby beds with her three young children – from the newborn stage right through to toddlerhood and while holidaying abroad and visiting relatives in the UK.

During the research process, she looked at the types of products available, scoured the Mumsnet forums for recommendations and spoke to baby sleep experts from The Lullaby Trust , an organisation that provides advice on safer sleep for babies.Ruth tried out each bed with her youngest child, who was 18 months old at the time of testing. She tested each for at least three nights, both at home and at the grandparents' house, which meant that all the models were subject to the same environmental factors and held a child of the same age and weight.

The purpose of this chapter is to set forth regulations for the provision of off-street parking and loading areas in the various zoning districts when a new building is erected, when a building is enlarged more than twenty-five percent (25%), or when the use of the premises is changed to one (1) requiring a twenty-five percent (25%) or greater increase in required parking spaces.

(Ord. 2015-05, Repealed and Replaced, 06/16/2015)

18.48.020 Location of parking spaces.

Required parking spaces shall be located as follows:

A.    Residential Uses. Required off-street parking spaces shall be provided on site for all residential uses.

B.    Nonresidential Uses. Required off-street parking spaces shall be provided on the subject property. Where required parking for a nonresidential use cannot be feasibly provided on the same site, the required parking may be located on another lot; provided, that:

1.    The most distant parking space is not more than four hundred (400) feet from the use;

2.    The parking lot site is covered by a recorded instrument in a form approved by the City Attorney;

3.    The parking lot site is not located in a residential zone unless the principal use requiring the parking is also allowed in a residential zone; and

4.    The parking lot site is not within a road easement or right-of-way or private street.

18.48.030 Parking area design and development standards.

Parking area design and development standards shall be as follows:

A.    Surfacing. All required parking and loading areas shall be surfaced on an approved paved surface. Surfacing for temporary storage, sales yards and similar uses may be of a lesser standard as approved by the Building Official.

B.    Maneuvering Space and Access. All required parking areas shall conform to this Development Code, including the following minimum standards:

1.    Access driveways from a street to a parking facility shall be at least twelve (12) feet wide for a one (1) way driveway or to serve parking areas for four (4) or fewer vehicles. Access drives for two (2) way traffic or to serve parking areas for more than four (4) vehicles shall be twenty-four (24) feet wide;

2.    All parking areas shall be designed to provide safe and efficient but separate vehicle and pedestrian circulation systems from public ways to building entries;

3.    No on-site parking shall be allowed within ten (10) feet of a vehicular entrance to the property; and

4.    Required parking spaces cannot be provided in tandem.

C.    Circulation for Drive-Through Facilities. Each drive-through lane shall be separated from the circulation routes necessary for ingress to or egress from the property, or access to any parking space. Each such lane shall be striped, marked, or otherwise distinctly delineated and shall provide adequate vehicle stacking for a minimum of five (5) vehicles on site.

D.    Parking for bicycles shall be provided in all parking areas, except for projects smaller than a fourplex, in accordance with Table 18.48-3 and Section 18.48.070 .

E.    Dimension of Spaces and Aisles. The dimensions of required parking spaces and aisle widths in parking areas shall not be less than shown in Table 18.48-1 (Figure 18.48-1).

1.    To ensure the proper maintenance and utilization of these facilities, parking areas shall be designed so that a parked vehicle does not overhang required sidewalks, planters or landscaped areas. A permanent curb, bumper, wheel stop or similar device shall be installed which shall be adequate to protect the required sidewalks, planters and landscaped areas from vehicular damage. If such protection is provided by means of a method designed to stop the wheel, rather than the bumper of the vehicle, the stopping edge shall be placed no closer than two (2) feet from the edges of the required sidewalks, planter or landscaped areas and from any building. The innermost two (2) feet of each parking space (between curb and any planter or sidewalk) may be planted with low ground cover, and added to any required or proposed landscaping, to allow for bumper overhang. This additional planting area is considered part of the parking space and may not count toward satisfying any landscaping requirement. The Building Official may require other barrier curbs or wheel stops as deemed necessary to protect areas within or adjacent to the parking area from vehicular encroachment.

2.    Compact Spaces. Fifteen percent (15%) of the required parking spaces, calculated after all applicable parking reductions are applied in accordance with Section 18.48.050 , may be designated compact car spaces. Compact car spaces shall be at least eight (8) feet in width and sixteen (16) feet in length and shall be clearly marked “compact cars only.”

F.    Maintenance of Spaces. All required parking spaces in parking areas shall be adequately marked and maintained to ensure the proper utilization of the area.

G.    Structural Specifications. All structural elements including paved areas, curbs, gutters, drains, wheel stops, bumper stops, directional signs, and stop signs shall comply with City of Galt Public Works Department and Building Division requirements.

H.    Landscaping shall comply with Section 18.52.040 (B)(5) and the Galt Landscape Design Guidelines.

Figure 18.48-1

Parking spaces required by this code shall be provided at the time any building or structure is erected or an existing building or structure is enlarged more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the gross floor area. Where existing buildings are proposed to be enlarged in excess of twenty-five percent (25%) of the gross floor area, off-street parking shall be provided as required herein for the area enlarged.

B.    Cumulative Parking for Multiple Uses. Where a site contains more than one (1) principal use, the amount of parking to be provided shall be the total of that required for each individual use, except as otherwise provided in Section 18.48.050 (C).

C.    Required Number of Parking Spaces. Off-street parking spaces shall be provided as specified in Table 18.48-2. Fractions of a parking space are equal to one (1) space (e.g., 1.3 spaces equals two (2) spaces).

(Ord. 2022-09, Amended, 12/06/2022; Ord. 2015-05, Repealed and Replaced, 06/16/2015)

18.48.050 Parking reductions.

The required number of parking spaces may be reduced in the following circumstances:

A.    Projects with Traffic Reduction Incentives. Required off-street parking for office, commercial, or industrial projects may be reduced if the applicant provides alternative facilities or programs which serve to reduce parking demand. Vehicle parking requirements may be reduced in accordance with the following standards, provided the total reduction does not exceed fifteen percent (15%) of the required parking for the use:

1.    Shower and Locker Facilities. Developments with twenty (20) or more employees may reduce their parking requirement one (1) space for every three (3) clothing locker facilities provided for bicycle commuting employees. In addition, the developer shall provide shower facilities for both men and women. Maximum reduction is ten percent (10%) of required parking.

2.    Secure Bicycle Parking. Developments which provide additional Class I or Class II bicycle parking facilities over and above the minimum requirement as set forth in Section 18.48.070 may reduce their parking requirement by one (1) space for every three (3) additional bicycle spaces provided. Maximum reduction is five percent (5%) of required parking.

3.    Preferred Carpool and Vanpool Parking Spaces. Office or industrial developments that guarantee preferred parking spaces (e.g., covered, shaded, or near building entrance) to employees who participate regularly in a carpool or vanpool may reduce their parking requirement by one (1) vehicle space for every one (1) space which is marked and reserved for carpools and vanpools at a preferred location. Maximum reduction is five percent (5%) of required parking.

B.    Senior Housing Projects. Required off-street parking for senior housing may be reduced to one (1) parking space for each three (3) dwelling units.

D.    Reduction for Expansion of Existing Places of Worship. For existing facilities (lawfully established prior to the date of this code) that expand beyond twenty-five percent (25%) of the existing gross floor area, a reduction of up to fifty percent (50%) in the required additional off-street parking spaces is allowed. Additionally, on-street parking within one hundred (100) feet of the property may count toward the required spaces. These reductions may be approved by the Community Development Director if all of the following conditions are present:

1.    The facility is located along a street frontage with a minimum right-of-way width of eighty (80) feet;

2.    The street frontage has full improvements, such as sidewalk, curb, gutter and street width pavement; and

1.    Recreational vehicles may be parked or stored on any lot or parcel of land within a residential zoning district in the City, provided they conform to all the following standards:

a.    Recreational vehicles shall not be parked or stored in any required front yard or street side yard and a three (3) foot continuous fire access shall be maintained in interior side and rear yards.

b.    Recreational vehicles shall not be used for human habitation, except to accommodate occupants or visitors of the premises for periods of less than seven (7) days in any one (1) year period.

B.    Trucks and Truck Trailers. No truck or truck trailer with a gross vehicular weight rating over five (5) tons shall be parked or stored in any zoning district, except the M, industrial, or LM, light industrial zoning districts. Trucks or truck trailers used for pickup or delivery service or used as part of the operation of a legally existing nonconforming use are exempt from this requirement. In no case shall such truck or truck trailer be parked at any location in any residential zoning district longer than required for such pickup or delivery service or service function, other than within the grounds of a legally existing nonconforming use located within the residential zoning district and of which operation the truck or truck trailer is a part.

18.48.090 Required loading spaces for commercial or industrial uses.

A guide to container sizes- tree sizes for instant impact.

Box trees are a great way to create an instant effect for landscape projects. While their long term benefit is gradually lost over time (typically trees growing from small containers catch up in the long run) the impact in the first 3-5 years is dramatic, giving an immediate presence and maturity to a newly installed landscape.

Here is a breakdown of common tree sizes:

5 Gallon: Most trees are installed in larger sizes, some small trees (including multi-stem trees) and specimen trees like Japanese Maple are often found in this size. Height is typically 2-5'.

15 Gallon: One of the most common tree sizes installed, this size balances the desire for a tree that may be 6-12' in height, depending on species, with budget considerations (box trees because they have spent anywhere from 1-5 additional years in the nursery are much more expensive). Callipers (diameter of the tree trunk) on 15 gallons are typically .5" to 1.0" depending on variety.

24" Box : Smallest common box size (the box size represents a 2' x 2' x 2' box), the 24" box is more mature than 15 gallons with heights of 8-15' and callipers of 1"-2.5" depending on species.

48" Box : Typically fairly mature trees with 3-7 years of growth at the nursery. Heights vary 10-30', costs for these trees can be up to several thousand dollars.

Large Boxes 60" and up : These are for almost full grown specimens of smaller trees, and very well established specimens of larger trees. Of course trees can be used that are larger than standard container sizes. Full size mature trees (full grown Oaks and others) are moved with giant hydraulic spades, cranes, and trucks by specialty tree moving companies.

One of the largest wholesale tree and shrub nurseries we use frequently for tree orders is Boething Treeland Farms , with nurseries in Northern and Southern California (Box tree photos from their Portola Valley Nursery).

Please check the size chart has printed out to the correct size by measuring the scale at the bottom of the chart, this must measure 10cm otherwise the indicated size may not be accurate.

Please fold the paper along the dotted line and place the chart on a hard surface against an immovable vertical surface such as a skirting board to help gain an accurate measure.

Place the left foot on the chart and record the length of the foot (e.g. 2¼) repeat for the right foot (e.g. 2½).

Based on these results a size 3 would be selected. As most people's feet are not the same size the size of shoe is determined by the largest foot.

Children will also need some growing room so if the fitting indicates either foot is longer than the full size it may be beneficial to order the next size up.

What is Buy Now Pay Later?

Buy Now Pay Later is an interest bearing option that allows you to delay payments on your purchases for up to 12 months. The delayed payment period starts from the date of order (including pre-ordered items and those not ready for immediate dispatch).

You can choose: A delayed payment period of 12 months and then a repayment period of 104 weeks when you spend £50 or more. A delayed payment period of 12 months and then a repayment period of 156 weeks when you spend £99 or more.

How interest is calculated?

Interest will be charged for the delayed payment period and the chosen repayment period.

Interest is calculated and compounded daily at a typical rate of 44.9% per annum for the delayed payment period and repayment period and is charged to your account at date of order as a lump sum. This calculation factors in the planned payments that are requested during the repayment period. Your interest rate is personal to you and will be detailed in checkout.

How to avoid paying interest?

You can avoid paying all interest for both periods by paying the cash price before the end of the delayed payment period. This can be done in one full payment or multiple partial payments.

Making partial payments may result in a portion of the lump sum of compound interest being refunded at the end of the delayed payment period.

Remember if you choose not to pay the full cash price before the end of the delayed payment period any outstanding balance plus the lump sum of compound interest applied at the date of order will become payable.

How do I make a Buy Now Pay Later payment?

To make a full or partial payment simply log into My Account, choose “Make a payment”, select “Pay Buy Now Pay Later” and allocate your payment to the specific item(s) you wish to pay off. Alternatively, you can call us.

What happens after the delayed payment period?

If you have not made any payments towards your Buy Now Pay Later, the outstanding balance plus the lump sum of compound interest will be payable across your chosen repayment period. This will now be included in your account minimum payment request each month.

If you have made partial payments, but not cleared the full cash price before the end of the delayed payment period, the outstanding balance plus a reduced lump sum of compound interest will become payable. The repayment amount agreed for the repayment period will remain the same, meaning the repayment period may be shorter than originally agreed. If you have paid the cash price in full before the end of the delayed payment period, you will not pay any interest.

What is excluded from Buy Now Pay Later?

The costs for delivery, installation services and any warranty and insurance products cannot be placed on Buy Now Pay Later. Buy Now Pay Later availability is subject to your credit and account status.

Do I still have to pay my minimum payment?

Yes, allocating payments to Buy Now Pay Later will not cover the minimum payment for your Littlewoods account. If you have a non-Buy Now Pay Later balance on your Littlewoods account you will still need to make at least your minimum payment as shown on your statement.
