The newly launched Bugaboo Stardust is a pop-up portacot, that unfolds in just 1 second. It’s bedtime made easy.
The Bugaboo Stardust is the latest innovation from Bugaboo that combines aerospace technology with design ingenuity.
Bugaboo know how important sleeping is for a child’s development, so they wanted to make nap time easier and more fun for everybody. Their comfortable pop-up portacot with an all-in-one design and built-in mattress, makes bedtime easier than ever, and we can’t wait to give selected MoM Members the chance to trial and review the portacot with their little ones up to 15kg.
The Bugaboo Stardust offers instant comfort for your child, any time of the day or night, thanks to the built-in, multi-layered mattress that’s securely attached to the frame, so that you don’t have to worry about carrying around anything extra.
Designed with your baby’s safety in mind, the Stardust is compliant with the latest safety standards. Your baby’s comfort is guaranteed thanks to the breathable mesh allowing increased airflow, and chemical-free, high-quality fabrics. It’s also super easy to wipe clean with a damp cloth, so no more dealing with stubborn stains.
The Stardust unfolds in 1 second and folds back together again in just 3 seconds, leaving more time for you to get on with your day.
Weighing just 8 kilograms and folding down to just 14 centimetres wide, the Bugaboo Stardust is made to move. It comes with a premium velcro closing bag, so it’s extra easy to pack up. The straps keep it closed even without the bag, so you’re always good to go.
Whether you’re going from room to room, visiting friends and family or going further away – with the fastest unfolding, ultimate comfort and high portability, the Bugaboo Stardust is a genuine game-changer.
What a innovation to the old portacot, struggling with the set up of the old ones running from side to side trying to get the sides to stay up or trying to figure out how to put it down. I can’t wait to get one of these for our camper trailer!!! Looks so easy and pretty!
I am seeing this portacot pop up all over my instagram and these reviews are convincing me even more that I need it. While my daughter is now 2 years old we often travel to visit my mother in another town and this looks like it would definitely come in handy with it slim fold and easiest pop together.
Bugaboo Stardust allows me the convenience of a quick and easy portable cot to take with me where it is needed. Assembles and comes apart with one easy click.
I can rest assured knowing that my son if comfortable and safe while resting, no matter where we are using the the bugaboo stardust cot. A must buy for convenience and reliability for at home or when you travel.
Well, we are totally sold on the Stardust. It offered everything it promised - so easy to set up quickly, which is essential with a tired and cranky baby who’s sick of travelling! Rather than being the clunky, time-consuming, space-waster that most portacots are, the Stardust is so easy to travel with, and fits in small spaces with ease. As with all other portacots, it is a long way down to place baby on their back, but one side is lower than the other, which definitely helps. We would definitely recommend it to other parents without hesitation!
Okay it has been a month and we are still obsessing over this Bugaboo Stardust portacot!
The features I love about this continue to grow and grow. Yes, the one second set-up will have everyone in love immediately, but there is so much more!
The mattress is comfortable giving the baby a great sleep. The breathable mesh sidings prevent little limbs from getting stuck in between anything. The compact design allows this to fit in the tightest of spaces. The carry bag provides a convenient way to transport.
We are literally opening this up everyday because we can't get enough of it!
The Bugaboo Stardust is so quick to assemble and pack away again, you won’t even believe it! One second to open.. a few seconds to close - plus an amazing stylish carry/storage bag to keep it safe when not in use.
Everyone who’s seen it has raved about it - it’ll be a parenting game changer! Trust this mama of four - you need this in your life. Make sure you pop it on your wish list!
After trying two different styles of portacots, we have finally struck gold with the Bugaboo Stardust!
It is the perfect combination of safety, slimline design, easy setup and stylish good looks.. When packed, it slides neatly under the bed for storage and will stack beautifully in the back of the car for camping trips. It truly is a one second open, and packing it down is just as easy. Given it's also lightweight, this is by far the best design I've come across for setting up solo. We are heading off on a little getaway and I can't wait to see how our little one sleeps in the Stardust!
This is by far the best porta cot I have ever used. It is light, compact, the mattress is soft, It is that slim when packed away I can store it under my daughters cot. I’ve never had a porta cot that is so easy to put up and pack away: we highly recommend this to anyone who is wanting a new porta cot. Being slim it fit next to my bed at the hotel and didn’t have to be in the middle of the room which left lots of floor space. I was impressed at how simple it is for anyone to set up and pack down.

This has absolutely changed my life with assembly for portacots! I could never get the poles to click in and this is so easy and automatically sets up so easy. Cant wait for my MIL to try this when she has my kids for a sleep over. Even the mattress is so comfy and soft. My daughter loved it and is perfect for taking on holiday.
Honestly, it took my partner and I a solid half hour to figure out how to unfold and lock in place our porta-cot. It was embarrassing.
We went to a friends house the other day and she had one of the Bugaboo Stardust cots and seriously, I need one. It's easier to fold and unfold, it's easier to put in the car, it's lighter and just all around better.

What a portacot!! I’m so convinced I need one for bub #5. I’ve sworn by Bugaboo since the Cameleon with my first, the Donkey for the subsequent kids and now the Turtle for bub due in June. This looks like a fantastic essential for trips to grandparents’ and friends houses! The foldability is where it gets me, I’ve wrestled needlessly with so many different brands of portacot over the years and I’m so done!! The Stardust puts an end to that and I love it!

Soo many good reviews, I think I need to buy this ! Would be so perfect for when bub stays at her nanny and poppys house, looks absolutely perfect to take on a holiday away too!! Can’t wait to get my hands on one, the way it unfolds and folds look super easy and convenient

Love love love the stardust super lightweight slim and great carry case. The mattress is super soft and my girl has been loving her naps in there. Perfect for our upcoming camping trips

After four kids, we have used our fair share of other styles over the years and the Bugaboo Stardust has won hands-down! It has an amazing one second open BUT it is actually the close that has won me over. No more fiddling around for ages trying to tuck things in and fiddle with mattresses - this took maybe three seconds? Amazing.
It feels luxurious on the outside and the mattress is very generous for a travel cot. I love that it can fold with the mattress still in place! The travel bag it comes with is stylish as well as functional and I can get it on and off with ease. It’s narrow and lightweight and would fit in even the smallest of cars.
My two year old fits in it now, and I may have to invest in another so that my three month old gets a turn! It’ll definitely grow with our family over the next few years. Such a fab product!
I have used the Bugaboo Stardust portacot a few times now and I am continually impressed. I'm still amazed with the quick and easy set up/ pack up but there are more features I have grown to appreciate. The mattress is so comfortable my baby absolutely loves sleeping in the portacot and the compact design allows this to fit in so many spaces. This is a product I highly recommend.
I turned on my video and filmed myself opening the box and getting this portacot out for the first time. I am speechless at how easy it popped up and was done. The box says 1 minute and I would really question if it was less. Quality frame and beautiful padded mattress. You can see in my video how when i push the mattress there is substance to it and not your usual foam inner. 10 out of 10 - I cant wait to go away now and put this to the test. This is a nice compact portacot so perfect for hotel rooms and even a tent camping.

“My Floor Has Never Been So Clean”: The Mop That’s Winning Over Mums
Mopping isn’t exactly the chore most of us look forward to, but like most mums, for Katrina Macilroy, it’s unavoidable.
With three teenagers, a husband, a dog, two cats and timber flooring throughout most of her home, there’s plenty to keep her mop busy.
“I thought the toddler stage was hard, but teenagers take it to a whole other level,” Katrina told Mouths of Mums.
She describes herself as a ‘full-time Uber driver’ for her three kids, but when she’s home, she may as well be a full-time cleaner.
Her husband is a concreter, the family has plenty of sand coming inside and, with teenagers touching everything, the floors quickly show the evidence of a full family life.
“I have to mop like every second day because the floor gets marks,” she said.
So when Katrina was given the chance to try the Vileda Easy Wring & Clean TURBO Mop & Bucket Set, she was keen to see whether it could actually make one of her least favourite cleaning tasks any easier.
“I didn’t have high hopes for it to start with, because I’ve used spin mops before and I’d been disappointed,” she admitted.
But it didn’t take long for her to change her mind. One of the first things Katrina noticed was just how easy the mop was to use.
The foot pedal made wringing the mop quick and simple, without having to stop and fiddle with anything.
“It was so easy to spin it,” she says. “It wasn’t like you’re spinning it for hours or anything.”
She was also impressed by how quickly the mop itself could be put together, and the simple button that releases the mop head for washing.
“That simple press notion, everyone can do that. So I love that.”
It’s The Little Things That Add Up
For Katrina, who regularly finds herself cleaning up after a busy family, these little details made a surprisingly big difference. She also loved the triangular mop head, particularly when it came to getting into the corners and edges that her previous mop struggled with.
“The triangle design makes it easy to get into all the little corners,” she says.
But ultimately, the big question was whether it actually cleaned her floors. Katrina’s answer was an enthusiastic yes.
“My floor has never been so clean,” she says.
Katrina was also surprised by how light and manoeuvrable the mop felt, because at just 4’11”, she says mopping can sometimes be an uncomfortable job.
“I’m not a tall person, so trying to mop is always just a horrible experience.”
But she found the Vileda Easy Wring & Clean TURBO Mop & Bucket Set easy to move around and able to go in different directions without feeling heavy or awkward.
And it wasn’t just the mop itself that won Katrina over. She says the bucket design solved one of her biggest mopping frustrations: accidentally tipping the bucket over.
With timber floors, getting too much water onto the floor is something she tries hard to avoid. “The amount of mop buckets I’ve tipped over and just gone everywhere,” she says.
That can turn a simple cleaning job into another mess to deal with, particularly when you’re suddenly scrambling for towels and a dry mop head.
But Katrina says the Vileda bucket feels much more stable because of its design.
And for someone who mops as often as she does, she says that has saved her time. “This thing has saved me so much time, I can’t get over it.”
The Only Mop You’ll Need
Katrina also admits that she’d previously convinced herself she needed a steam mop. She even bought one, only to discover that plugging it in every time she wanted to clean wasn’t exactly appealing.
“You have to plug it in like a vacuum. Like, that’s not fun, I don’t want to do that.”
After trying the Vileda, she says she’s no longer convinced she needs one.
“Why do you need a steam mop when you can get this one?”
For Katrina, the combination of being lightweight, easy to wring, simple to manoeuvre and able to get into those awkward corners has made mopping feel much less frustrating. And despite going into the trial with low expectations, she’s now very happy to recommend it.
“I’m not trying to sell you a product, but I’m just saying that I’m very impressed with it. It’s really good.”
Her final verdict?
“It’s been really, really good. Recommend!”
This Real Story was provided as part of a paid sponsorship opportunity. Katrina was chosen to share her story because she was sent out and tried the Vileda Easy Wring & Clean TURBO Mop & Bucket Set, and genuinely loved it! And Vileda is so confident they’ve made the best spin mop ever, they’re backing the new & improved Easy Wring & Clean TURBO with a 5 Year Guarantee.
Yes, I couldn’t agree more. The Vileda spin mop is by far my favourite mop for a good thorough clean at home. I even got the landlords to purchase one for the holiday house I clean to make cleaning a breeze and get the job done properly. I always grab a spare when they’re out for half price.
Ah, I received a ‘you’re a finalist’ email from MoM for this fantastic mop but didn’t receive anything beyond that. I was looking forward to giving this a try to compare the three existing options I have but alas. Looks good, fingers crossed I can try it in the near future!
Omg! Yes! With 4 dogs and 4 teens AND the guests they bring home with them LOL our timber floors and tiles don’t stand a chance! I would love to see them add some wheels to the bottom of the bucket so that you don’t have to carry the bucket around with you.
This sounds like an excellent mop that makes cleaning so easy! I love a product that not only is as effective as advertised but makes a job less grueling. I gotta say though, a steam mop that plugs in sounds like an awful idea. I have a tineco floor mop, which is cordless and charges at a base, and it’s incredible on my white tiles.
