We struggled to put a cover over it and we used the mattress from the huge cot provided in our room. As parents, we have always believed that life is an adventure and it really is possible to take your children anywhere. This cot was a revelation to me, only having previously been exposed to the huge and heavy typical folding style travel cot. The cot comes in a compact carry bag and once folded it is small and relatively flat – I would say it would easily fit into a larger bag or suitcase.

Therefore when I went to my first postnatal yoga class I was really happy to be able to have the Koo-di for a quick set-up and a calmer lesson! Its light weight, super quick to put up and just as easy to put away - making this the perfect solution for restful sleep where ever your little one may be. They say it's a lovely product, a brilliant little bed to take on holiday, and it saves space in the car. It’s not robust, it couldn’t withstand roughhousing, it’s simply somewhere for your young baby to sleep whilst you’re on your travels.We did not purchase the blow up mattress as got it last minute but was fine without it, was still soft enough for baby. After a few assemblies/disassemblies the flexi-wire that holds it in shape has become a bit misshapen: again, this doesn't affect its functionality as it stands, but it's disappointing that it's showing this wear already.

However, most hotels would be able to provide a spare blanket, which you could fold flat underneath if you wanted some extra padding.Packing the outer frame away can be a bit of a wrestling match but becomes much easier once you’ve developed the knack. Bought for holiday for our under 6 month old She fitted in fine but would struggle if a big baby or over 6 months. My baby is 4 months old and we’re about to go on a trip for a couple of months and need something that is practical like this – how long were you able to use it please? Even in a tent or in a camper, baby can have a real bed, and we don’t have to worry about the sleeping situation.

The mattress is a bit on the thin side but we have an oval mattress from another cot that fits perfectly so just put that on top.They mention that it is easy to put up and take down, and that it takes up hardly any room for travelling. If you’re worried about comfort, Koo-di also makes a great inflatable mattress that goes in it and is super comfy!
