I agree with all the others about the hard strap in the middle of the bed. Very very bad design flaw. The bed itself is very convenient and will work for our camping trip, but my 2 year old is shorter and most of her body fits on one side of the strap. It will work OK with a blanket for padding, but I definitely won't be using it very often for her.

This Cott is awesome I liked it so much, I bought a 2nd one. It is easy to set up and put away. I now use it as a toddler bed for my little 2 year old. I take it with me when ever I am out doors with my kid and when he gets sleepy, I just unfold it and let him take a nap.

I bought this for my little great-nephew in anticipation of needing a "toddler bed" when he stays with me. I think it's great!. Easy to open, sturdy & easy to store. I do agree, however, with previous reviewers that it is hard.You'll have to pad underneath the cover/sheet with either a pillow or a soft, fluffy afghan or throw. Otherwise a great buy!!

I had been looking for a toddler bed and lucked out to find this in the store. I was pleased and the bar does not go through the middle anymore it is angled. It does make a little noise but I put another sheet and not too bad. Price was good and we have used it twice for my grandson that is 2 and he slept pretty good. I think if you are looking for an upscale cot with more comfort, you are paying more. This would also be good to take camping i think. I had the toddler airbed previously and that was OK but took up too much room and too much work. I just like this cot to pull out and use.. easy easy.

Bought this for my 2 year old grandchild. She loves it! Padded it up with a blanket and old sleeping bag for overnight sleeping. Covered all with a fitted sheet for a pack n play. Worked great! Easy to set up and stores easily in very little space. Perfect for sleepovers. This is a great product and excellent value for money!

Bought this for my 2 year old and he loved it. I obviously pulled it out of the box at the store before i purchased because of the conflicting reviews. Only to my surprise that the bar in the middle everyone was talking about is non existent! there are legs to the cot, but no bar in the middle like everyone is trying to perceive there to be. As for the uncomfortably everyone is talking about im not sure why everyone expects this to be as comfortable as a pillow top mattress its a non-padded cot! When my son uses it at his grandmothers she folds up a thick blanket and puts it on the cot. my son has also never had an issue sleeping with this and it serves its purpose very well.

Bought this for my 2.5 yr old for traveling this summer. She is quite particular, so I set it up in our livingroom for several days so she could get used to it. Padded it with a blanket and ripped out the middle strap-thingy (manufactered May 2011, not Oct). She still isn't too thrilled about it, but my 5 yr old loves it and I ended up taking a 2 hour nap on it (I am small). I also plan on using this for them to sit on at the park. Thanks to all the reviewers. Your input was very helpful.

I purchased this for my 7 year old and 5 year old so they can sleep on as I am preparing to move. Both have very large beds and I needed something taking up less space. For a 7 year old of average stature, this just fits him. Head and feet reach the very ends. I would recommend it for children 6 and under. Outside that being my only concern, it is a wonderful product that meets every expectation I had for it.

I thought this cot was just what I was looking for. It was easy to fold/unfold and it was light, but there was one major problem. When you unfold the cot you'll notice that there is a bar that runs across the middle of the cot. I thought it would be low enough, but when I had my daughter (who is roughly 27lbs) lay on it I could see that the bar was now touching her back. It would be a great cot if it wasn't for that bar. I ended up returning it.

This is a nice product but I was surprised that when you open it up and extend there is no locking mechanism to keep it in place. I guess the weight of the child is what is suppose to keep it level. It makes me nervous when my two year old grandchild goes to sit on this because I am waiting for it to fold up on her. Will only be using this in extreme emergencies.
