My daughter is 2 1/2 yrs old and she absolutely LOVES her travel cot. It is nice, compact and low to the floor, so no need to worry about a nasty fall! The fitted sheet that comes with it is ok, but everything else is fantastic! This can be used up to 5yrs of age OR 75lbs....lots of usage time. Going to order another for my little boy! It is a must have!!

I'm a big reader of reviews, I find you can never trust the star rating especially since people sometimes rate things they don't own "5 stars - this looks really cute!", or give things 1 star because they can't read the description. I already owned one of these and was contemplating buying one for my daughter. Our existing one has the strap in the center, and manufacture date of OCT-2010. After reading the reviews, I was confused because some state "the older one was better" and visa versa, so I wasn't sure which was the newer model, but decided to risk it and buy a second one. I picked up a second one at my local Walmart in blue, and was happy to see that the strap has been REMOVED in the newer models, this particular one had a manufacture date of SEP-2012. We then ordered another one in pink for my daughter. Happily when it arrived at the store, it also had a 2012 date, and was of the newer design. If you purchase one and it has the strap across the center, return it and see if you can exchange it for a newer one. (Walmart was happy to return my older blue one for me.) The manufacture date is on a sticker on the outside of the box. So to clarify, the company has updated this product and improved upon it. No more annoying middle strap. ----------- After having purchased three of these in total, I have to say my kids (2 & 3) LOVE them. We purchased a Foam Mattress Topper in a Full, cut it in half, and put it under the fitted sheet for extra comfort. Well worth the $11 it cost at Walmart. The kids nap on them, relax and watch TV on them, even stopped hopping into bed with us at night, and instead will sleep on these in our bedroom. They refuse to let me put them away. We're headed on a 20 hour car trip next month and have differing accommodations, so these cots will work perfectly for the cabin, house, and hotel room. This is an excellent purchase, and it's a great value for the money. I am so glad I risked buying a second (and third) one to find that the design has been modified.

i am a certified day care provider. i bought 2 of these when i first started i love everything about it except 2 things. 1. the cot has a hard peice of cloth that goes through the middle of it and many of my kids complain that it hurts their back and is uncomfortable. the 2nd is the sheet that goes on ripped on both of them were the cloth middle peice is within the first month of use. otherwise i love how it folds up so easy to store and takes up very little room i just wish i could find one without that peice of cloth that still fold without that one peice i would consider it perfect!!

I bought this for my grandson to use when he visits. It is a great price and quick and easy. The only thing that would make it better would be maybe a little padding. It is not an issue now while he is small, but I expect to have to add some when he is a little bigger. Overall, great price and value.

This bed is great! We purchased for my son(4year old) for camping, and he used it for 2 weeks before we even went bc he liked it more than his bed that he had at the time. perfect for camping. We also use it for the times he wants to sleep in our room due to storms or bad dreams. just set it up next to our bed. quick and convenient.

I had been looking for a toddler bed and lucked out to find this in the store. I was pleased and the bar does not go through the middle anymore it is angled. It does make a little noise but I put another sheet and not too bad. Price was good and we have used it twice for my grandson that is 2 and he slept pretty good. I think if you are looking for an upscale cot with more comfort, you are paying more. This would also be good to take camping i think. I had the toddler airbed previously and that was OK but took up too much room and too much work. I just like this cot to pull out and use.. easy easy.

We bought this based on the reviews and it did not disappoint! This is a great travel bed. We bought two for our twins on our recent trip from DC to Florida, where we stayed at four different places. It was nice for them to have consistent beds no matter where we were. They slept through the night each night too! Since we were tight on space I did not bring a blanket to put between the cot and provided cover (recommended by many reviewers) and they were fine with the comfort. Crib/toddler mattresses are hard so they are used to sleeping on a more firm surface. I will be recommending this to anyone traveling with young kids!

My daughter loves it. We were nervous we'd go camping and she'd want to sleep on our air mattress, but she is very happy to sleep in her special bed. The fabric is a bit tight in the center, but she seems perfectly comfortable. I like the easily washed cover.

Attention all grandparents, this is the best cot ever! It's so easy to open (literally with one hand) and to store (it comes in it's own sleeve yet I've also kept the box). It's also not heavy to carry. My granddaugther is 2 and a half and the moment she saw this open, she went right to bed. This was a miracle because she was otherwise sleeping with us as our daugther and son-in-law unfortunately had her accustomed to sleeping with them (so she didn't sleep on any other "bed" in the house). Yet, when she saw this open (and it sits on the most beautiful rug I bought which I'm also going to review momentarily "Segma Inc. Merna Light Purple Kids Rug") she immediately went to bed (in the cot), covered herself up, and it wasn't until the next morning, 9AM, that we saw her little bright eyes light up again. I think it's because she's used to sleeping in cots at school that she took to it so quickly. She slept comfortably all night. Now, she's a very long, thin child, so I don't know how long this will last, yet, for now, with every other weekend overnights, it's a true God send! I hope it works out for your "kids". It's easy to clean and dries quickly (oh, it has a pink fitted sheet so you only need a pillow (if they use it) and a throw of course. I highly recommend this product.

I bought this cot from a referral from my sister who uses this for her toddler. We bought this to help transition our co-sleeper into his "own" bed, and eventually into his own room. We move him once he's asleep from our bed to this cot and so far....we're 5 for 5 for sleeping all night on the cot. It's great that it folds up to so we can travel with it.
