This cot is PERFECT for sleepovers, hotel rooms, grandma & grandpa's RV, camping, & sick nights in mom & dad's room. For less than the cost of renting a roll-away bed 3 nights at a Disneyland hotel, it has paid for itself after one vacation AND saved us the cost of upgrading from a room to a suite. WIN WIN! It doesn't lock into an open position but there are stoppers to keep it from collapsing or folding up when in use, easily folds up & tucks into the carrying bag for storage when not in use. Earlier reviews mentioned support straps being awkwardly located & uncomfortable so we used a folded blanket under the "sheet" - nice & comfy. 3 yr son LOVED it. (3 years old, 30 lbs, 37" tall) Our older kids were jealous because they exceeded the 75 lb weight limit. We are so happy with it, we're ordering more as gifts.

This cot is eay to set up and store in its bag, its just like a folding chair works great. My 2 year old likes to lay on it but I got it for daycare kids to sleep on and it will fit bigger childern to age 6 or so. This will last awhile and its very portable so good to take traveling and it wont take up much room!

This product idealistically was great!! It was easy to use. It comes assembled. It seemed as comfortable as it could be for a cot. I did put an oversized plush comforter on it for added comfort. Unfortunately, my 3 year old son broke it in about 3 days. He used it in school during naps. I was not there but apparently he was sitting on it and began to bounce. I cannot say if he was alone on it or if another child was sitting on it as well. He is 42 pounds and 42 inches tall. The bolts came loose. There is no way to re-assemble or re-glue them back either. I cannot seem to find another child's cot so I may have to re-purchase this item and hope for the best. I sent him to school with an adult's cot but the school won't allow him to use it because it's too high off the ground for their comfot level.

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.

I purchased one of these cots a couple years ago in blue for my grandson and it was very nice and served the purpose of him being able to sleep in his parents’ room during a visit to grandma’s house. Recently I purchased another cot in pink for my granddaughter and the quality has gone down hill. The first cot came with a travel/storage case which is no longer offered. I was very disappointed because this worked well for storing the cot in my garage and keeping it dust free. Another problem was the “sheet,” the first one had a softer texture, now it is closer to burlap. It is still good for dogs, but I would suggest shopping around for a better deal for the little ones.

This bed is a good value, but buyers should be aware, it does not have any padding what-so-ever. The support band in the middle raises higher than the top and bottom of the bed, so it may be uncomfortable for the child to sleep in it for too long. We solved the problem by padding the cot with blankets etc, to it's soft to sleep on.

We have a 20 month old girl and we bought this kid cot for her because she will soon outgrow the pack and play and we need a place for her to sleep when we travel (or if she spends the night with grandma). It arrived only three days after I submitted my order online and my doorbell rang at about 10 am for delivery. I was so excited to see if she liked it that I went ahead and pulled the whole thing out of packaging. To my delight, there was no assembly required. It came in one piece and was ready to use right away! My toddler seemed a bit shy of this new thing at first, but once I folded it out and set her on top she was hooked! That day she just happened to be kinda sick so she actually stayed on that cot for most of the rest of the day watching cartoons and dripping peanut butter and jelly all over it. Since we received it, we have put her down for a couple of naps on it just to make sure she could rest well on it and she really did. I really only have one complaint, in the middle, the supporting bars do not stay squished down very good so it creates what I would think to be a very uncomfortable "hump" right about where your baby's rear end should be. My toddler does not seem to mind it (yet), but it does bother me a little. I suppose it can be remedied by making your child more comfortable with an extra pillow or two.

I read the other reviews and wondering if I got a lemon! This is the most uncomfortable cot I have ever seen. Was going to order online and it was in the store , so I picked it up and was excited for my Grandson to sleep on it now that he is out of the portacrib when he comes to my house. I would need to buy a mattress for this thing to be remotely comfortable. I would love to send it back, but had over confidence in it and threw the receipt away! My bad there!

We've had our travel cot for just a week, and our two-year-old slept on it three nights during a quick trip this weekend. He settled on it IMMEDIATELY. I think it helps a great deal that he sleeps on a cot at daycare. It sets up easily, and he appeared comfortable on it. I do think there's a bar that could get uncomfortable after a while, but so far he seems to be doing well. The top sheet is a nice feature for it, too. I looked at a similar product elsewhere, and it was going to cost nearly $15 more than this one. So far, we're glad we saved that $15. We also think it will be useful for stormy nights when our son wants to be near us, or if we must sleep in the basement due to severe weather.

This cot is totally amazing and exactly as expected. My 2 yr old son immediately hopped on it and loved it right away. It is sturdy, and so easy to set up I thought surely there must be more to it, but it literally just unfolds open into position. It fits back into the storage bag very easily and can be stored with the cover on, which is convenient. Like everyone else, I'd say it's better padded up a bit. I laid a small, doubled over comforter on it and then put a fitted crib sheet over that, which worked perfectly. This item is great for vacations, sleepovers, camping and the beach!
