A great idea and easy to use and store, but not quite right. I had to return it after just 2 nights of use. It has one big problem. Children of 3 and 4 are heavy enough (37 lbs) to make the sleeping surface sag so that the steel bars underneath across the middle poke them in the back. If the canvas were a bit tighter and did not go so low to the floor (about 5"-6" now) it would be perfect.

My grandson had outgrown a pack-n-play. It is hard to get a crib at a hotel and they are usually a port-a-crib. This was a great option. It's very comprable to the cot he naps on at daycare. I did buy a 2 inch foam piece as a mattress. I was able to get it all in the travel bag! I do wish there were some kind of barrier on the sides. Even though it is "dished" in to prevent a child from rolling out, he managed. He's pretty wild. Fortunately, it was low to the floor and he didn't even wake up. We used it everyday for a week on vacation.

Love it! We have our grandson at least 4 nights a week and do not want him sleeping at the other end of the house so he is in our room next to us but in his own bed! He loves it!!! Folds up during the day so we can get around in our little bedroom and opens right back up night for him to sleep on.

We bought this for our 3.5 year old daughter when we went out of town for Thanksgiving. She loved it. It was easy to set up and she slept great in it. It was very comfortable for her. Even though it has a weight max of 100lbs, it is pretty short. I think she will out grow it with height than her weight, and she is on the short side. I am guessing we have about 4-5 years of use out of it, but for $30, it is totally worth it.

I received this today, set it up for my 2 year old who is 32 pounds, 35 inches, I put a toddler sleeping bag on it, she loves this thing!!! There is no bar in her back, no strap across the bottom, so based on the other reviews, they must have re-made these. I had been pondering over this for some time (about 4-5 months), read all the reviews and was unsure. I went ahead and ordered it anyways, because it's not like I could not return the item. For $25 bucks this works GREAT. She has been laying on it since and kept saying "thank you mommy!". It will work PERFECT for out of town trips, or even just day trips somewhere if she needs a nap. She could care less its not like a "mattress" and people who say it needs extra padding, well I don't think she cares either way. It's better then the FLOOR, RIGHT? I happen to love this thing :) And as someone who was skeptical on ordering it and thought about it for months, I say go for it :) You can either return it or sell it to someone else, for $25, why complain? ;)

Unfortunately they put a bar in the middle of this cot.... so it's great for a two/three year old, but once they grow enough for their bottom to be in the middle of the cot, they hit the bar. Our daughter loved it until that happened which was about 9 months after we bought it. (she only weighed about 30 lbs.# I would have just splurged and bought something full size that we could have kept for yrs. and saved money in the long run. Really disappointed that anyone would put a metal bar in the middle of a cot. How could anyone sleep on that? #Notice the picture of the happily sleeping child is only mostly on 1/2 the cot.)

Bought this for my granddaughter when she was coming to visit, as she is still too young for a bed, but has outgrown her port-a-crib. It was the perfect accommodation in my guest room where she stayed with her parents, low enough to the ground so that she could not fall out, easy to put up (similar to those foldable chairs you can carry to a parade), and she took to it immediately. Mom and Dad were quite pleased. They will be using it whenever they travel.

I bought this for my 3 year old to use at the cottage, the only thing that was not good about it was the center support strap is really tight making my sons head sink on one end, his feet sink on the other end and his mid section is held up high across the mid strap...to fix this I simply took 2 couch cushions and put them in the head and foot area's and laid a soft patio chair cushion across the whole thing so it was even...it was fine after a little tweaking...even with that I would still recommend it as it was so handy and compact

We love our cot! Our son uses it when we travel. Set up is minimal. The cover is great when we have the occasional "accident"! Folds up really small. We have a tiny hatchback, do this fits perfectly for us. If only they made a packnplay that folds up this tiny! Great value for the cost. Sturdy construction. Great for families who travel/camp out!

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!
