Review on Regalo My Cot Portable Toddler Bed, Includes Fitted Sheet, Pink by Michael Robertson

Love this cot! - but limited time to use!

Our 2.5 year old girls have outgrown their pack n plays and we were looking for something for them to sleep on when we travel. These are fantastic. The girls fit on them well and slept through the night on them.They are a canvas material, similar to what you see on camping chairs. They come with their own fitted sheet you can wash. I used that, but also put a toddler bed size fitted sheet on top of it to make it softer. Because it is a cot, it bows a little in the middle, which seemed to be enough to keep my girls from rolling off onto the floor. They slept on them for 4 nights and didn't roll off once.The legs are designed in such a way that even when your child lays down, the cot does not rest on any of the legs (no bars in your back). I was worried about that when I saw the design, but it was not an issue.They fold up sort of like a camping chair (of course a little bigger). It is much smaller than the pack n play was folded up, which helps with the packing. You simply pull the bed out of the bag, open it, put the sheet on, and you are all set. There is no assembly or set up. You just open and use it. It folds up just as simply and is easy to get back into the bag.I would highly recommend it to anyone traveling with toddlers.Update: We ordered this in February of 2013. Here it is October of 2013 & my girls have outgrown it. In all fairness, we probably kept them in pack n plays too long. But, on a recent trip, in trying to turn over, one of our girls rolled on the floor. They were just about the right size for it, as long as they didn't move. We tried them in a bed together on our last trip, lined with pillows. We had a little learning curve & a couple falls out of bed (I know, same problem as the cot), but by the end of the week, we figured it out and feel more confident next time we travel. I would make sure you have enough of a window to use it, or have more kids coming up (we just have the twins) to make the purcahse worthwhile.
