I bought this for my two dogs to keep them off the ground when camping. I think it will work perfectly for that. It does not look comfortable for a child. There is a pronounced bump in the middle with a soft spit on either side - perfect for two dogs! I bought this instead of the dog version because this one came with a sheet I can wash. The sheet fits nicely.

Bought air mattress's to put between the cover and cot as the rail's under cot hurt my grandchild's back as he slept laying on the cot. Seem's like there should be a mat that goes on the cot, before the cover pull's over the cot. The adult cot's pull tight so you don't feel the bar's under the cot's. I bought the 2 cot's for my grand -daughter's to use when they were here for 2 weeks this past Thanksgiving time 2008. The only way they were able to sleep on the cot's were to have heavy blanket's laying under them. One Cindy

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!

I'd been worried that this bed might be too fragile to withstand plane trips between upstate New York & California (transferred planes once each way); we checked it as luggage. It did just fine, and our daughter (3 years old and pretty fussy) liked sleeping in it. A great bargain for about $37 including tax (site-to-store shipping).

We haven't used it as of yet. However when we opened up the box my toddler couldn't wait to try it out. She got on it however it is a little big for her. She only fits in one section of the cot. However we hope to use it soon...will give better review then, hopefully. :) However it was a great price for the size of the cot. It is something she can definitely grow into and out of.

We borrowed this cot on our first vacation with our oldest child as a toddler. It was so perfect for our needs, we bought our own. He is 3 and will use it for a long time to come. He even uses it occasionally at home if he's having a bad night or when he spends the night with Grandma! Our daughter is now a toddler and we just bought our second one! It is easy to put away and fits great in small spaces, like small hotel rooms! I would recommend it over and over!

I had read that there was an issue with a 'bar' across the middle of the cot. After looking around, I couldn't find an alternative without spending at least twice as much. When I got the cot, I saw that there was a strip of binding or material used to reinforce the cot creating a 'bar effect' (similar to the bar in a pullout couch). The problem is that is doesn't allow the cot to stretch. When I used it on our first trip, I used small blankets to build up each side so my son wouldn't feel the 'bar'. That worked fine, but I had to pack 4-6 extra blankets for this. Before our second I removed the center section of the reinforcement material. It allowed it to stretch some, but not enough. Before the second night, I removed the rest of the material. That allowed the fabric it to stretch. I understand why they put it there, but if they would have allowed some extra fabric in that area it would have been perfect.

Couldn't be happier with this product. I bought one for my two year old while we were traveling and moving, which we do a lot of being military. He loves it. My one year old threw a fit until we got him one too! It slopes in (kind of like a hammock) so that it cradles them in it. They can't roll out in their sleep, however, smaller children need help getting out of it just because of their balance or lack thereof. It is so light and easy to set up and put away. It has a small sheet that you can wash. I even got in it with my son when he had a nightmare and I'm 135lbs and it didn't break or bend. Very durable. A lifesaver, really, if you do a lot of traveling. I even take it with me on playdates just in case. It weighs less than my purse.

This little cot is a bargain for $20.00. Set up takes 3 seconds and it is so easy to store. It is definitely a great way to have your child sleep on something low to the floor and close to you. There is a middle support bar that might necessitate using a cushy sleeping bag or a lightweight pad if you'd like to add to your child's comfort. I like the fact that it is so portable and takes up no room in the car trunk. We go on picnics and outings, and this could easily be set up to allow your little one to take a nap on those occasions. Great for overnights at grandma and grandpa's house! A great buy.

This cot is an answered prayer! It is the perfect travel bed for any ocassion. My daughter is still taking her daily naps and this is great when we visit family or if she is sleeping over at her grandma's place. She seems to be very comfortable in her cot and it's very easy to open and close. We plan to take this with us on our next vacation this August. Don't bother researching any further...this is a GREAT BUY!!!
