Advantages: folds up into a carry bag, has full instructions on mattress!

Disadvantages: smaller then most travel cots but it fits in smaller places!

my friend bought me a mamas and papas travel cot about 4 years ago now, she decided i needed one for when my daughter stayed at her house... (i was only pregnant at the time!) and i didnt think i would need one but she went out and bought one for just under £70, with a clip on on top changer and baby accessories holder.
This present was the best thing i was bought, it has gone through three children and is in fantastic condition and i still use it now!
The cot is very easy to put up and down, you take the cot out of the bag, undo the matress which is wrapped around the cot - (holding it together to fit into the bag and be easy to carry) then you pull up the sides and they clip into place and then you can push down the base - and that to will lock into place. you then place in the mattress and the same velcro tabs that hold the matress around the cot in fold up position goes through the slots in the base of the cot and fasten underneath the cot.
The cot is now very stury, although slightly smaller then most travel cots i find this an advanage as it will fit into smaller spaces and we have used this in hotel rooms and caravans even on a narrow boat - which i dont think a bigger cot would have fit!
The instructions of putting up and down are all printed on the underside of the mattress.
easy and really quick to put back down, although sometimes i cant remember if its the sides you have to clip up first or the base - as it wont work the other way!!

Summary: a great designed travel cot i couldnt be without!
