I bought this for our 3yr old to take on vacation. We have 3 kids and he needed his own bed in the hotel. I read the reviews on this travel cot and most customers were very happy with it. I had some concerns about the bar and the 2 X with the "bar" in the middle. First, there is no longer a metal bar in the center. Second, the stitching in the center does create a "bar" but it is not so hard that it affects the child. My little guy wasn't bothered by it at all. It folds open and close so easily. We have a inflatable sleeping bag and this is so much easier to use and carry around. Only negatives are: you may want to use a crib sheet as the sheet it comes with is a little rough and wish the bag it comes with had a handle to tote it around easier. I will be using this until he is probably 4-5 yrs old (unless he has a growth spurt and becomes too tall for the cot). We go and visit Grandma often and this will be his new bed there.

We bought this for the obvious travel purposes. It was easy to set up, and we used some foam to make it softer. The only issue is that you must not let your child jump on it! Not even in the slightest. My 3 year old son easily slept in it, and unfortunatly it got broken. The things that keep it up (no Idea the name of them) but they all fell off and got lost, so the pressure was on the points where the fabric is fastened to the frame broke off! I would love to keep using it if I can figure out how to fix it.

I bought this product for my granddaughter and she seems to be very comfortable sleeping in it. It was very easy to set up and I love the way it folds up and fits into a bag for easy storage and convenient for travel. I would definitely recommend this to anyone with a little one who comes to visit!

I couldn't be happier with this bed! I bought it for my 2 year old when her bed had to be thrown away! Great price, and love that it cradles her. My only suggestion is putting a thick blanket underneath the slipcover to make it a little softer. But I have no bar or strap across the middle, so I was COMPLETELY happy!

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.

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 got this so when my granddaughter comes over, she has her own space. It fit perfectly between my bed and the dresser. She was very comfortable, and really liked that it was pink. She's almost three years old, and weighs around 24 lbs. Folds away easily for storage when she's not visiting.

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.

The travel cot has been very convenient for us so far. It literally takes seconds to open and close. Our daughter is very comfortable sleeping on it, she even likes sitting on it. I'd recommend it to anyone wanting an extra place for their little one to sleep whether they're traveling or at home.

This cot is PERFECT for small children. My 2 1/2 year old loves it and it's perfect for vacations. I wanted to use it over Thanksgiving but I didn't have it ordered in time so we used it over Christmas. It comes with a blue fitted "sheet" but I put a crib sheet over it to make it more personal. The crib sheet fits perfect because the cot isn't thick like a real mattress. I know my daughter should be able to sleep on this for vacations until she's 5. By the time she grows out of it, our next one will be able to use it. Also, the weight limit is 75 lbs, and I'm not sure it lists that anywhere.
