I ordered two of the my cot travel beds for my 3 year old twins. They love them! For little kids that are used to sleeping in a toddler bed this is a great alternative to an air mattress. Standard crib/toddler bed sheets fit this cot and it folds up like a camp chair and stores in a small bag. I have used this for travel & when one of my twins was sick and needed to sleep close by in my room without being in my bed. I would definitely suggest this for anyone who needs an easy alternative to an air mattress for travel or an extra sleeping space for a toddler.

I bought this for a trip for my 2 year old son. At home he already sleeps in a toddler bed and I was looking for something similar. This bed did the trick. I padded it with some extra sheets and he slept great! It also folds up into a stick just like a beach chair. This was a great buy :)

This is a great product. It is light, easy to store, easy to open and set up and folds at a touch to fold back to its carry case. My 6 yr old granson can open it and close and put it away by himself. I have ordered a second one for when his little friends come for a sleep over.

Our grandtwins are two and are about to outgrow the portacribs we have at our house. These fold out cots are so easy to use that the kids put them together themselves!! Comfy too & has a washable cover. After nap, just fold up, put aside, all set. Will be great for travel and for any extra "little" guests we might have at our home!

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.

I bought this little cot for my 4-year old to use for sleepovers and traveling. She absolutely loves it and I have to hide it to get her to sleep in her regular toddler bed. The cot is sturdy, doesn't take up too much space and sets up and tears down quickly and easily, just like a folding bag chair. The washable cover is helpful too. The cot is the size of a toddler bed, so is best for younger children.

I purchased this for my 18 month old for a camping trip. I was nervous becasue there are no sides. He tosses and turns a lot in his sleep, but he seemed to stay relatively still while sleeping in it. It does surround him a little while he is laying in it. The center is slightly higher, but it didn't bother him at all. I am considering getting a second for my 5 yr old. It folds down to about the same dimensions as a small childs camp chair, so it takes up very little space for traveling.

We took this cot on a vacation with our 2 1/2 year old daughter. She still sleeps in a crib at home but is used to a cot at daycare. She did great with it!! It couldn't have gone better. She slept through the night all night every night(which she doesn't always do a home!) and had no complaints. It was easy to fold up and travel with as well. I rarely write reviews on products but was so thrilled with this one that I felt compelled to do so. Great value!

We already have one but we wanted another so both of our kids could have them in our room so if they wake up in the night they can jut lay next to the bed. They fold up super small and very easily. And the kids love it. My daughter was just sick so I moved it into the livingroom and she rested while watching tv.

My daughter loved her cot. She slept so well and the cot sort of cradled her due to its design. No problem with the cross bar as some earlier posters had suggested. I almost did not buy the cot because of these posts, but decided to try it. I am glad that I did. When my daughter would lay on the cot her body did not come in contact with the bar. I wish that Walmart would carry the cots in their stores though; the shipping was half the cost of the cot and that was disappointing.
