We bought this for when our grandchildren come for a visit. They are too big for a crib, but not big enough for a real bed (i.e., they need a toddler bed). This is an inexpensive & truly portable solution that stores in no space at all. Would also be great for travel. Could use a little more padding, but a folded blanket will work. Close to ground for safety. Our granddaughter who has a toddler bed at home immediately took to it.

We bought this cot for when our little great nephew visits. It works perfectly set up in the spare bedroom with his parents and so they don't have to share the bed with him. It's easy for him to get into and out of it because it's just a few inches off the floor. It comes in a small box that stores easily in the closet. One improvement I would suggest is that it would come with a little child size pillow.

we purchased this for when our two year old grandson has sleepovers at our house. My grandson loves it so much that my daughter had to take it home for the grandson to take his naps on. Highly recommend this product. It has exceeded our expectations.

I bought this in 2007 for my granddaughter that spent her vacations with us. She used it to for 2 weeks to a month at a time until she got too tall. Now my 2nd granddaughter uses it for her naps when I babysit her. It has held up well and when it finally wears out I will be buying another one. it is low to the ground so I never worry the toddlers will fall off and get hurt.

I needed an affordable bed/cot for my girl when she's napping and I'm on the go. Plus the cot folds up like the folding lawn chairs/sports chairs so that makes it easy to tote along with me wherever I go. I will be using this cot for years since it is a good 48" long.

The cot was great. We got it for my 3-year-old nephew and it has worked out perfectly. It's simple to put in the bag and it was actually MUCH simpler to open and set up than we thought it would be. We've had it two weeks and it hasn't torn or anything yet (not that we expect it to :) ), but it's only been used once Obviously, as it's a cot, it doesn't have as much padding as we would like, but that would be the same with any of them. But overall, it was an excellent product and I would recommend it to anyone.

I read the reviews about the "bar" across the middle of the cot and was hesitant to buy this product. As a fomer Marine, I thought maybe people didn't know that cots are not the most comfortable beds around. So, I gambled and grabbed one for my 3 yr old. There is no bar. There is a support strap sown across the middle of the cot which creates a very taught "bar" across your back as you lie on it. The canvas sags on either side of the "bar" towards the head and feet. No amount of padding added on top could make this a comfortable cot. If you lay on your back, your chest/stomach is pushed up at a riduclous angle while your head and legs slump back into the saggy canvas. I can't imagine who let this product leave the factory. I don't think that support strap across the middle was necessary and the product would have been great if it weren't there. I love how the cot collapsed so quickly and efficiently. Would be perfect if they could fix that one catastrophic error.

Believe it or not, I bought this bed for me. For an impromptu trip to Disneyland with the Grandbabies. I thought I could bargain with one of them to use the cot so I can get their side of the bed. Didn't work and I ended up sleeping on it. No worries. I'm petite and well, the weight limit exceeded but the cot is still in good order and form! My 2 year old, 3 year old and 5 year old grandbabes enjoyed it together as a bench or when I wasn't looking, they did stretch out on it! Fun little thing and I was able to hand carry it on the plane.

My husband and I had trouble getting our 3 year old daughter to sleep in her own bed, so we bought this to put beside our bed in our room. We set it up, and thankfully with no problem she has slept in it every night since. The only thing we had to do was put a blanket under the sheet to make it a little softer, but other than that I would totally recommend this product to other parents. It is also going to come in very handy when we travel being it folds up small and has a carrying case. Absolutely love it!!

Our boys (3 and 4) nap on cots at their daycare facility. So I bought 2 of these cots to take with us when we stay in hotels. We first used these last weekend on a one-night stay. The kids crawled right in and went right to sleep. Yea! I do agree with other reviewers that I will need to add some eggcrate type padding for comfort, but other then that, the cots are perfect.
