BabyDan Extra Large Travel Cot, 60x120cm (Baby Playpen) - Versatile Comfort for Your Baby's Sleep and Play

Having read other reviews and trawling through the many travel cots I decided to buy the babydan and have no regrets what so ever. I bought it in black over blue because of the price difference. This is an excellent travel cot. The cot is incredibly easy for one person to put up and can be fully set up and usable within minutes. Folding the cot away is just as simple; and it folds down into such a compact size which is then stored in a carry case that it is easy to stoe away. I would recommend this cot for a number of reasons: It is lightweight, compact, it is a full size cot, can be used as a playpen, it is simple to errect and dismantle, it is very strong and sturdy, my baby loves to be in it, it has a useful storage pouch at one end. I intially set the cot up in the sitting room as a play pen/nap time cot. It is a full size cot so does take up some room but it means that the cot will last for several years before the baby outgrows it. The base is very strong althoguh the matress is too hard for the baby to sleep on for any length of time over a period of time. This can be easily rectified by layering the matress with a towel or additional blankets. I have taken the cot to Germany. It packed so compactly that there was no chance of it being damaged in the plane. It has been designed to tow the cot on wheels as you would tow your suit case which is very practical. The price is excellent compared to others on the market. I can't speak highly enough for this cot. It has so many uses from being a cot, playpen, use for travel to friends houses, grandparents or abroad. It is so versatile, lightweight with easy assembly, it folds down well, at such a good price and it is built to last. I would recommend it with no hesitation.

This is a full-size cot but in travel format. easy to assemble. You do need a separate mattress for it. The mattress provided is soft but does not have enough support for a baby.

As a new grandma, this is a brilliant cot. Easy to put up, sturdy, simple to store and good value. We decided not to get a proper cot for the grandchildren's visits. The wheels make it easy to move and it has already been borrowed by the family to test out when they went away. They will be getting one for themselves. I have actually bought 3 as we are taking 2 to our holiday flat abroad, they are so good. The mattress is ok for the odd night, but I bought the travel mattress, 5cm depth, as it makes it more comfortable for longer periods. Babies sorted now.

Easy to put up/pull down. Well made. Strong. A great size, not small like a lot of travel cots.

So we needed a travel for our little adventures to the grandparents and having brought the babydan pressure gates and been happy thought this would be a good choice. Look, the oversell quality of the cot is good, black is super drab but that is just personal taste the big issue is the mattress. A: it does not fit the cot circumference which is just poor and B: it’s not supportive or comfortable, honestly would be better on the floor! I would avoid paying a little more and getting a better allrounder - this has gone back!

Bought this when my DC was 1 year to leave at my mums; once you get the hang of it it's simple to open up and very sturdy. Slightly tricky getting to grips with the mechanics of opening and closing but once you master this it takes minutes. My son is almost 3 and tall for his age but is still very comfortable in the BabyDan; still left with loads of space even if he's sprawled out in it. Happy we bought this.

This is a very solid travel cot. It’s substantial enough to be a second cot, say at grandparents. It’s big and strong enough for a three year old - and a year or two more perhaps if needed. It’s also pretty easy to get up and down - although took some effort to get a top bar to snap into place. The mattress is serviceable but rather thin, so you should think seriously about putting down a second one (plenty of cheap ones on Amazon). Finally, just to mention that I’ve seen TOS exact bed being used by a major holiday company - so it must be considered by the industry to be a durable and practical solution.

Despite what the instructions tell you to do (they are wrong!), you need to pull up and lock the sides and the ends BEFORE putting any pressure into the middle to make it flat. If you put pressure and make it flat first, 2 of the sides will not lock. Once you know this, it is SO simple to assemble and is very sturdy. As previous reviewers have said, the 'mattress' that is included is more like a base than a mattress - we bought another mattress (size 120 x 60cms) and it fits perfectly.
