The only reason I gave this two stars is because of the great idea behind this. My husband and I were so excited when we saw this at our local store, but when we got it home and set it up we noticed this strap of material running through the middle. Our daughter, who is almost 3 yrs old, tried it out and it was just sticking her in the back. It's too bad, we're going on a trip soon and this would've been perfect. I'm going to end up taking it back and just use a air mattress we already have. Maybe if you put a quilt or something underneath it might work...

I bought two of these cots, one for my two year old and one for my four year old. They both have enjoyed them very much, they've slept on them while camping and just in their own rooms as a fun alternative to their beds. I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the cots, they're very sturdy and so easy to pop up that the four year old is the one that sets them up to sleep on. I would definitely recommend these cots to anyone with kids under 46 inches tall looking for a good alternative to air mattresses or just the floor.

This cot is a very nice product to have if you travel a lot or like myself, have kids over often. It sets up easy and fast. It is easy to store. I wish the Regalo Co. made one for the next size up child, maybe 60 inches long. That would really be great.

Terrible design!!! This bed is not usable with themiddle sticking up higher than the head and feet. I was really hoping this would work but it's just a terrible design! In addition, Walmart sent me an open box item that had a stain on the cot cover - GROSS!

My 1yr old sleeps on a cot at school and was very happy to also have a cot at home. We planned to use it when we travel, but have also used it while my son was sick and stayed in our bedroom. Over it with a nap mat and it is perfect. It is small and very easy to set up - pull it out of the bag and press it flat. I really like the fitted cover that is included. It provides a barrier to keep the cot in place. My only complaint is there is a band that runs across the middle on the bottom side of the cot, which prevents it from being a flat surface. This band is not on the head or foot of the cot. Right now my son is not so tall that he cannot avoid sleeping on the band, but will likely make him uncomfortable as he grows. I may have to cut it and add elastic so that it stretches and still holds. Overall, it is a great investment, and is much cheaper and easier to pack than our larger Pack N Play.

Had to get this for my son who is 4 when we first moved into our apartment to hold him off til I got his bed and it works fine it's raised off the floor plus my son loves it so I was cool now we have an extra pull out bed for when the kids have a friend over

I LOVED this item when I bought it for my grand daughter's 10yrs ago for spending the night. They actually ended up getting to BIG for them and wearing them out. So, I bought again for my grandson...He is in Love with it!! So, glad the item is still made...Happy Customer!

I purchased this product for the new infant to grow into by pre-school. My grand-daughter will be able to sleep comfortable when travelling from neighbor, family or school. i love the travel case for easy portability and the material is easy to keep clean with a simple wipe of Lysol or Clorox handi-wipes. great buy for the price!

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.

I just got this product about a week ago and have had my 23 month old toddler use it serveral times over the past week while on vacation. It is very easy to transport. Very light and packs away easily into the included bag. Set up is a breeze. It works just like the folding camping equipment us adults use all the time. It comes with a nylon sheet(bed cover). It is not water proof. So I would suggest buying a water proof pad if your child is young. I also got a nice crib size cotton fitted sheet to go on the bed. The crib size works good, just a little loose. Our daughter liked sleeping on the Regalo. It is easy for her to climb is and out of. In summary, it is a great carry along bed for toddlers!
