The LittleLife Arc 2 doesn’t come cheap, however, if you travel a lot and often, it’s worth investing a bit more into a good quality lightweight cot. Looking like a tent, rather than a standard four poster construction travel cot, the Little Life is relatively simple to assemble.The Little Life Arc 2 Travel Cot is their lightest and most compact travel cot, weighing in at just 2. In terms of general use, this cot could be used for short trips away or for longer holidays abroad but not used in place of a regular newborn bed.

All thoughts and opinions expressed are the reviewer’s own and are not influenced by the brand or affliliates. This lightweight travel cot can be put up in moments, with it's colour-coded poles, for a solid night’s sleep on a comfortable foam mattress.There are tension straps on two of the four corners that are tightened to ensure the cot is rigidly put up. Once inserted, the ends of the poles are fixed in each of the four corners, causing the poles to bend and create the tent shape. Timescale to deal with your claim - for technical faults or repairs we use the services of the original manufacturer or nominated agent for inspection, testing and high quality guaranteed repairs. We have managed to damage one pole section in the last year of use but that was down to the usual metal fatigue at the ends rather than anything our daughter did to it. When we’re abroad it’s reassuring to know that Rosie is sleeping safely, protected from bugs and mosquitos, thanks to the mosquito mesh.

The Arc 2 is ideal outside for naps during the day or as a secure play pen and during the night can be used inside the awning or campervan. The foam mattress is fixed down with three strips of heavy duty Velcro and this stayed in place even with my energetic toddler and wriggling 13-month-old Hannah playing in it. At first I worried I was forcing the poles - the instructions tell you to use ‘gentle pressure’ which is difficult to gauge. As the name suggests, this travel cot has an arc-shaped dome over an enclosed and padded foam mattress (which is removable and washable).This makes it ideal as a temporary playpen for very young and small children wanting a play in safety. Due to the tent poles sticking out on each corner the Arc 2 takes up a little more space than a traditional travel cot (85cm wide by 133cm length), but we’ve so far not had any problems squeezing it into any hotel room. It provides a lovely, calming environment and Ruth said it felt a bit like her son was sleeping in a bubble.
