My grandchild is too young for the "big bed"--afraid she'll fall trying to get out--but too big for the pack&play---the cot was the perfect size. She's comfortable and safe and she loves it! It's a lot easier to set up and put away than the pack & play.

We bought this bed for our 2 year old. It was TOTALLY worth what we paid. I looked at sevreal other travel options but nothing worked as good as this little bed. It folds up very small and is easy to carry. It folds out super easy. My 2 year old hopped up on it and slept perfectly. I had to keep the older ones (9 & 12yrs.) off of it. They loved it to! I highly recomend this little bed.

This is a great little cot. It is compact, close to the ground and perfect for when the little ones visit. Although it states it comes with a carrying case, it does NOT. I was told the company stopped that over a year ago. Had I known that I probably would have looked at other items, as it is cumbersome to travel with. Once assembled it is super, though.

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 a 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 right beneath the UPC. 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. They also fit the "Sleeping Bag Buds" we bought at Walmart last year PERFECTLY, and with a little compression, you can roll the foam mattress topper up and keep it in the travel bag with the cot, preserving how easy it is to store when not in use.

This little cot is exactly what I wanted/needed/expected. It came in a travel bag, was a snap to set up, and is high-quality. I love the little sheet that came with it, also. In truth, my 2 y.o. son didn't sleep in it at Grandma's house (our whole reason for purchasing it), b/c he was a little freaked out about being somewhere new. but i'm glad we have it for future outings. he did enjoy rolling around on it. it's so compact that it's easy to store. i don't regret buying this at all and will recommend it to other parents.

I purchased this product for my grandson to sleep on when he is at my house. He seems to like it very much. To make it higher I put a toddler bed mattress on it when he is here. I don't have the space for the toddler bed anymore. It fits nicely into the space I have for it in my room.

The reason we purchased this portable bed for our toddler was because her previous portable bed - an inflatable - was VERY noisy. Apparently our daughter is a restless sleeper. We always have her sleep in our room during trips and I was constantly waking up to a creaky "balloon-like" sound every time our daughter moved or turned over. This cot is wonderful! I'm able to sleep through the night and our daughter took to it right away. It's also VERY easy to set up. I'm doubtful that the carrying bag will hold up long term, but we can always buy a duffle bag for it.

Good Value. Only problem is the bar in the middle of the bed. It looks like it would be uncomfortable but if you put pillows or a blanket under to prop up the sagging parts seems more comfortable. Great to be able to pack up a bed and carry with you anywhere you go!

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.

We bought this because we were going to travel a lot. I didn't want them sleeping on the ground..so this is a good alternative to that. However, there is a strap that runs down the middle that is really uncomfortable! Poor, poor design. But we seemed to have "broken" it in. They slept in the cots for about one week before we left and it seems to have helped. Initially, they complained, but over time, it got better. They actually preferred to sleep in the cot over their own bed. This is a great alternative to pack n play - the cots are SO much lighter to carry, they easily fit into our suitcase, and the setup is a breeze!
