Advantages: Very easy to erect and collapse

Disadvantages: Maybe slightly smaller than some others on the market

This is a fantastic travel cot. It does exactly what you need without having to pay for unnecessary frills that some have. It can be put up and collapsed in less than 30 seconds. We are used to travel cot erection and know that some are easier than others. When we decided to buy our own (instead of borrowing the grandparents) we found a good deal on Argos for a Winnie the Pooh cot which was half price to £35. Bargain we thought but when we got it home we could not erect it at all and it was really flimsy so returned it and apparently Argos has had lots returned for the very same reason. That explains why it's half price!

Where we live the Mamas and Papas shop is a couple of doors down the street from Argos so we looked on the off-chance but expected them to be out of our price range as much of the Mamas and Papas tend to be. But to our surprise they had this cot reduced from £40 to £35. When we got it home we followed the very clear instructions that are on the base of the mattress (so you can't lose them!) and it was up in a matter of seconds. No struggling or swearing involved at all!

It's not as heavy as some I've seen either. All in all a very sturdy, easy to put up and down travel cot that I would recommend to anyone especially at it's current price.

Summary: Sturdy travel cot that can be put up and down in less than 30 seconds!
