We bought this cot prior to a camping trip for our almost 4 yr old daughter. She was so excited to sleep on it, she slept on this instead of her bed 3 nights before the actual trip! She slept pretty good and loves it. We just bought a second one for our 2.5 yr old so she can have a bed like her sister on future camping trips. It's really cute and you cannot beat the price. Folds up easily and doesn't take up too much space. Much better than sleeping on the ground or messing with an inflatable mattress which really isn't safe for young children anyway. Buy this cot, buy multiples if you have several small children, trust me, you won't regret the purchase.

Couldn't be happier with this product. I bought one for my two year old while we were traveling and moving, which we do a lot of being military. He loves it. My one year old threw a fit until we got him one too! It slopes in (kind of like a hammock) so that it cradles them in it. They can't roll out in their sleep, however, smaller children need help getting out of it just because of their balance or lack thereof. It is so light and easy to set up and put away. It has a small sheet that you can wash. I even got in it with my son when he had a nightmare and I'm 135lbs and it didn't break or bend. Very durable. A lifesaver, really, if you do a lot of traveling. I even take it with me on playdates just in case. It weighs less than my purse.

The collapsable travel cot folds up small and is easy to pack - it does this perfectly. Many other reviewers mentioned a strap across the middle making it uncomfortable. That strap IS there and left the way it is it IS UNCOMFORTABLE! However, I was able to rig it up so that my daughter slept perfectly stretched out across the cot. Before I go on I should mention I do a lot of camping so I had all the material I needed on hand and this didn't cost me a thing. If I had pay for these I would have felt differently about the cot. Here's what I did: I cut up an old 3/4 inch closed-cell foam sleeping pad (available cheap at many outdoor stores and possibly even Walmart). I cut it into 4 eqaul size squares, approximated 2'X2'. I laid these on either side of the strap - two high so that there was 1.5 inches (2 layers of the 3/4 inch foam) on either side of the strap. Then I took a "short" 47-inch long therma-rest self inflating sleeping pad and laid it across the whole set up. After doing this the top mattress feels flat and the strap is not felt at all. My daughter slept perfectly. If I had to buy these things on my own it may have cost another $60 - added to a $25 cot.. so that may not have been realistic. But, as I mentioned, I had them on hand. You may be able to find a knock-off brand short mattress instead of a therma-rest and drop that price down. Without doing this I WOULD NOT HAVE RECOMMENDED THE COT.

Based on the prior reviews of 4/5 stars, I thought this might be ideal for my 3year old on our next vacation. The idea is good, the portability and weight is great. What the pictures do not relate is how uncomfortable the "bed" really is. There is a band that doesnt show up in the photographs that runs across the middle width that doesnt make it comfy at all. Imagine laying on a hammock with a rope going across under your hips!! No way you can relax or even sleep in it. And it is advertised for ages 2-5. My daughter is about to turn 3 next month and is by no means a tall kid and it is just suitable for her height. I could not see a 4 or 5 year old sleeping on this cot. Overall... if they made it 6 inches longer and without the band so the cot would actually be comfortable, this product would be GREAT!

I purchased this for my 3 year old daughter and she loves it! She can take it to grama's to nap or lay on it while watching a movie. She can't get enough of it! I used the site to store shipping so the $20 cost of it was perfect! I will most likely purchase a second one to use when my little baby is older!! Our daycare provider may purchse some as well! GREAT BUY!!

At first this product was perfect and just what was needed. My almost 3 year old grandson used it to lay on to watch TV or read books, slept on it in my room when he woke at night and was scared, traveled with us on short overnight stays... we used it a lot. Over a few weeks, the plastic connectors on the corners on one end of the cot started to tear through. Within one week after that, one corner was completely unsupported. The way it is constructed I could not repair it. We will keep the canvas part for the moment to perhaps use in the backyard as a hammock-type setup. I was disappointed since I'd hoped I'd found a great bargain for the $24 I spent, but no. Instructions state do not jump on it and maximum weight is something like 40-45 pounds... THEY MEAN IT!!

I was a little worried because when I got the cot it was rather 'cheaply' made but for the cost I wasn't sure what else to expect. After setting it up I was worried about the 'hump' in the middle and how it sagged slightly on the left and right side. However, my son slept like a champ on it. He said he liked it. He is 2 year old. I could see it working for the next year but after that not sure since it is kind of small and not very quality with the tightness of the cot.

I got this for my 3 year old son to replace his air mattress at Grandma's. He loves it and has from day one. It's extreamely easy to set up and break down that even He can do it. He has enjoyed sleeping on it and even sleeps later then he use to with it. Totally a wonderful deal. My husband and I are even thinking about getting two more for home for him and his baby brother so they can camp out in the living room back home

I got these for my grandkids and they arrived quickly and in great shape. I usually struggle with making things like strollers, pack and plays, and so on but these beds were a cinch! They pop open with no problem and they pull together with just as much ease. I got two of these and each came with a cover and drawstring bag and they only take up a very small amount of space in our closet. The ONLY setback for me is that they don't seem as comfortable for the kids to just lie on. The middle is higher than the top and bottom. It is okay though because I just put down a folded blanket, comforter, or quilt!

We have been using this travel bed for 4 months and are very pleased with it. My sons fight over who gets to sleep on it when we go to Disney on the weekends. Its so simple to set up--5 seconds max. It folds down with no effort. We simply put it right in the suitcase for every trip. The bag that it stores in is very thin and seems like it will shred easily, but otherwise, I'm a happy Mom. My only other complain is that it doesn't come in more colors, but that's not important to the functionality. Overall, I'm very pleased with this purchase and I am absolutely sure it will last us for years to come.
