Exceeds my expectations! Great value compared to other Toddler Cots. They have redesigned these...NO CENTER BAR, there is now a nylon strap. No, these don't lock in place when open, but there doesn't really seem to be any need. I have 2 yr old twins and these are perfect for our overnight trips to Grandparents since they are too big for cribs and too small for a big bed!

I bought this my 6 yr old because she needed a temporary bed. Originally she slept with us in our bed but we need a a solution to have her sleep by herself. The firat 2 nights she would wake up in the middle of the night and climb into our bed. Its not very comfortable which is the down side but after making some adjustments like adding 3 small comfy blankets shes been sleeping in it.

The only thing I would note at "not up to par" is the cover for this item. It is pretty rough to the touch and the padding isn't really very "padded", but it is well stitched and fits the cot securely. The cot is very easy to open and stores well in the sleeve provided. Very sturdy and well made. Have already used at sporting events, sleepovers, visits to the pool, naps at home, watching movies in the living room... you name it. I like that my son can use to sit on or laydown. I would recommend this product to anyone who has a child who might need to take a nap or just rest on-the-go (anywhere really -- we made a tent in the living room and it worked perfectly there too :-) Enjoy!

I loved the idea of this, we needed a bed for when guests stay over and a toddler bed was "bulky" and more costly. I love that these can be used for when we travel and at home. There is no bar in the middle so it is actually quite comfortable. The only thing I was slightly disappointed in was that there is no "handle" on the carrying case. But so far it has been a great purchase!

The cots were purchased for my visiting Grandson's. The cots are appropriate for 2 to 5 year old children. the cots are sturdy, but if you have tall children may not be long enough. The need for additional padding would be nice. I will have to return one of them as my 6 year old grandson is too tall for it and slept better on the floor in a sleeping bag. The cot folds very compactly for storage. I found that for the younger grandson that a foam mattress pad cut up and placed under the sheet helped a lot. This is a great idea for temporary sleeping for a small child.

I purchased a couple of these to use in my home daycare and they are wonderful! They're sturdy, comfortable, perfect size for toddlers/preschoolers, and store easily without taking up a ton of space. Plus, they meet the napping surface requirements for safety and comfort for a daycare in my state and cost less than the alternatives. My 5 year old begs to sleep on hers all the time! My 9 year old and 11 year old like to lay on them to watch TV and they fit fine as long as they curl up a little. I also love that it comes with a washable sheet. I will definitely be purchasing more!

This works great for travel with my 2 year-old when we're at Grandma's for nap time or going to the cabin. It's really light weight and portable, the bag is great. We put a thick blanket on the cot for cushion and it sinks just enough to cradle him. There is no bar going across his back, so I don't know what those other people are talking about. We haven't tried to wash the fitted sheet that is included but it says that it's machine washable. I love it and would recommend it. The price is great too!!

I take care of my sister's kids during the week and I let the 3-year old take a nap on this cot. I love that it folds and unfolds so easily and it is so compact when I'm done using it - I stick it in the corner behind the door and it's not even noticable. He sleeps very well in it and it is super light (in fact, my 3-year old loves to carry it around). I'm not sure I'd use it as a regular night-time bed since it is not very soft, but for limited use, it's perfect.

I have purchased three of these for my grandchildren all under 9 years old. They are terrific, the kids love them and and they are easy to setup and take down. We needed something easy to use and that took up very little space when not in use these fit the bill, compact durable,perfect and so was the cost.

I love this toddler cot! It's so perfect to bring camping, sleepovers, to hotels, on trips or for the nights when he is sick and I want to keep him close to my bed. It's so easy to set up and pack up. It's light too and doesn't require a lot of room. My toddler loves it. The removable sheet is easy to throw in the wash. Now walmart just needs to sell a toddler size pillow to go with it.
