This is a great idea for visiting little ones but i would not recommend this cot to any one. The craftmanship is shoty. It fell apart with in 5 days of my 30 pound granddaughter sleeping in it (even tthough it is suppose to be able to support up to 75 pounds). Too bad, cause i really liked the idea of being able to take it on trips too.

my 2-1/2 year old loves his cot,he fell off one time and it was so close to the ground he didnt even wake up,now i have to lie on the floor next to him.great idea/product i would suggest putting a blanket or pad down first,then a sheet,the bar is little annoying

I purchased this for my 1 1/2 year old Grandson as a travel bed. The only reason why I rated it a 3 was because there is an additional reinforced strap across the middle of the cot that would be uncomfortable in a larger or heavier child. It appears that the strap has been added to the product because of previous reviews that stated a hearvier child would hit the cross bar. To me, the added strap now makes the middle too inflexable compared to the top and bottom and will cause the head and feet to lay lower than the childs tummy.

We purchased for the grandkids, age 2 and 4. They both love using it. There are a "C" shaped brace covers that come off easly. I will tape them on so they are not lost. Also caution for kids NOT to have them jump on the beds. That caution is written on the bed.

This purchase was worth the money. Steel frame and the cot is made of nylon material that can be washed if needed. Wished I would have know that Walmart carried something like this sooner. It was not carried in our local store, so had to order on-line.

We bought this cot to take our toddler on her first camping trip. It came quicker than expected and we were able to take it along to a family party and so many people came over to check it out and throughout the day at least 4 different little ones took naps on it. It packs up quick and easy like a camp chair. And when we did finally take it on our camping trip our little girl LOVED it. Would be perfect to send along on sleepovers and to use as a seat at the beach. We will get a lot of use out of it for sure!

I know that they recommend this product for 3 and up but I had no other option for my youngest shes 15 months. We knew that a play pen was too small and a toldler bed would not be able to travel with us in our move. So I bought this cot to do for now and so far so great We have had it for over a month now and she loves it easy access for her to climb in and out without a problem. Great option for children at the age of walking and up.

Based on the prior reviews of 4/5 stars, I thought this might be ideal for my 3year old on our next vacation. The idea is good, the portability and weight is great. What the pictures do not relate is how uncomfortable the "bed" really is. There is a band that doesnt show up in the photographs that runs across the middle width that doesnt make it comfy at all. Imagine laying on a hammock with a rope going across under your hips!! No way you can relax or even sleep in it. And it is advertised for ages 2-5. My daughter is about to turn 3 next month and is by no means a tall kid and it is just suitable for her height. I could not see a 4 or 5 year old sleeping on this cot. Overall... if they made it 6 inches longer and without the band so the cot would actually be comfortable, this product would be GREAT!

This was kind of an impulse buy :-P I decided to get the blue one for my son and in the process saw this one and loved the idea of having these for long car trips, sleepovers, when guests stay and for camping. It made so much sense. When I got them the kids slept in them for the first week and enjoyed every minute of it. Only thing I would change would be a handle on the carrying case.

This cot is great. The cover comes off for easy cleaning. It's light weight, and folds up very small for travel. It weighs around 7 pounds, and would fit in your luggage. The only down side is that my son was too big for it, he is 5 years old. This would be perfect for ages 1-3 maybe up to age 4 depending on height.
