We bought this cot thinking it would be great to have so when we traveled with our toddler his bed wouldn't be so high off of the floor. When I opened it up and stretched it out there was no way I was going to have him sleep on it. In the picture it looks like the sleeping surface is very smooth, but the bar in the middle of the bed sticks up too high, and no padding, so there is no way you could be comfortable.

great cot for little ones . i had one for the oldest grandaughter [ 6yrs] I thought it was getting to small for her suggested we get a bigger one for her and pass it to her sister [almost 2] . her answer was a big NO! we now have 2 of these cots. perfect hight for the little one to get into.

I was unaware of how small this bed was so I returned it to the store (very convenient). It is about the size of a crib mattress. However, I really liked the sturdy look of it. It was VERY easy to put up and take down. I hope to find another just like it in a larger size - perhaps adult. I really like the site to store service - no shipping and easy returns!

The only drawback is it needs some sort of mattress. My almost 2 year old granddaughter used it but wouldn't sleep through the night on it. I expected the needs a mattress part because I read the reviews. Other than that it was great. I feel I can invest in a little foam for it and still get my moneys worth.

This is a great cot and my 22 month old naps well in it. Haven't tried through the night yet. He sleeps in a cot at daycare so we figured he'd know what to do with this one. I didn't give stars because it has a strong chemical smell out of the box and needs lots of airing out.

We bought this cot because our babysitter uses cots for naptime. We thought we would try it with our 2 year old when we traveled. It was fantastic! Not only did she love it to sleep on, but she loved to sit and look at her books on it too! I would recommend this to everyone! It may even help the transition from the crib to a toddler bed since you can take it when you travel!

After going through 2 toddler aerobeds and one 2-minute toddler air bed in the last 18 months, I was ready to abandon the airbeds. They all got leaks that were impossible to find and repair effectively. This travel bed is wonderful. It's just like carrying a foldable outdoor chair like the ones you take to watch the kids' soccer games, only it's smaller. We used it twice so far for my child who is 41 inches tall, it worked fine. I did put a fleece mattress pad on it (left over from the old aerobed!) and it made it comfy. And for under $20, you can't beat it. I do wish it was a little bit longer, but it worked fine and should last me another year at least.

Our 18 month has started to want to put herself down for a nap and has been using cots instead of cribs at daycare, so we got this cot and set it up in her play area. When s he gets tired she just walks over and lays down. She naps well on it. We decided to use this for our holiday travels since she has outgrown the travel Pack and Play. We also purchased a 2" thick piece of foam from a fabric store to make it more of a bed than a cot. I'm not sure if she cares, but it looks much more comfortable to me. Nothing against the product, but we found is that although she naps well on it, she is too mobile a sleeper to sleep the night on it (sometimes she falls off, though she'll pick herself up and put herself back in bed). Also, it doesn't work well when she refuses to go down for a nap or for the night, since she can get herself up. Its also a bit exciting when she can wake up from a nap/overnight and climb out on her own! My only complaint about the product itself is that the plastic bolts/caps get stripped easily on the metal screws (that affix the cot to the frame). As far as I can tell there is no reason that the cot couldn't be permanently affixed to the frame, which I think would make it a much better product. We managed to re-secure it, and if it continues to give us problems, we'll consider returning it (under warranty) or just using some locktite. All in all its serving its purpose, and I would buy it again, but if there was a higher quality version available, I'd buy that instead.

I got this product used for my 4 yo daughter, just to test it out. She loved it so much that I had to buy one for my 2 yo son when he out grew his pack-n-play. It is easy to take everywhere. It packs down small, is light-weight, and keeps kids from rolling all over when not in their beds. I highly recommend this product. Other reviews have listed some problems, but I have not had any problems, not even with the used one.

I bought this portable cot for my 2 1/2 year old daughter when we go to hotels and friends/family over night and it works great! It's lightweight, but sturdy enough for my active toddler. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a good portable bed for a toddler.
