Wanted:old fashioned folding travel cot

[Katymac]

The sort that folds in half; rather than packs away into a bag/box

New/second hand I really don't mind & no there aren't any on eBay (at least there weren't any at about 12 today - I looked through nearly 1,200)

katy i knew this would be you"!!! you posted on it before didn't you?

i was up in my mum's attic the other day and found hers and i was all like "wow, someone on mumsnet wanted one of these"

now, i am sure you are welcome to it but it is
1.) VERY heavy
2.) quite dirty as has been in the attic for about 15 years

[tootootired]

Someone posted asking for one a while ago. My sister has one but not sure I can volunteer it!

where in country are you roughly

devon

cambridge

lancashire

[Katymac]

Dirty I can do

Heavy is more of an issue - how far are you?

[booyhoo]

ooh those look lovely. i want one now. even though i already have 2 playpens and a travel cot

[BertieBotts]

My mum might possibly have one. And a friend I think has an old platpen and hates it, I know she was wanting to get a replacement, but not sure if either of these are the folding flat kind. If you are anywhere near Warwickshire I can ask for you?

[thisisyesterday]

we;re in west sussex

[Katymac]

Cambridge is closest but it's still over an hour away (or is it nearly 2?)

The Devon one is quite expensive when you factor in a courier

[Katymac]

Hmmm - that's a hell of a long way

& tbh Warwickshire is a long way too

Gosh I am unreasonable

[thisisyesterday]

we are going to Norfolk on holiday in August.... not sure i'll fit it in the car with all the crap we'll be taking though! haha

[Katymac]

Ah well come & have a cuppa anyway

[Claire2301]

Katymac - I'm in Cambridge if I can be of any help (collect until you can collect etc!)

[tootootired]

You just need to put travel cot on ebay watch - then you get emailed with them every day and eventually one will come up nearby and you can pounce.

[Katymac]

Really - I have to go to St Neot's soon (halfterm) - so that might work

I think the cot is in Ely that's quite a way from Cambridge isn't it?

[thisisyesterday]

listen, if you still need one come august i'll drag it down and see if it's cleanable. if it is, i'll see if i can fit it in for you

it IS ancient though, so no guarantees (was mine when i was a baby and i'm nearly 30! )

[Katymac]

Well I need about 4.........

Hi Katy if you want to drop you an email I can give you some details - I work on outskirts of Cambridge near A14/A10 junction so assume you would need to go by me from your direction which I seem to remember is Norfolk? Email is: [email protected] HTH

[Katymac]

Thanks Claire

& a bump for anyone with this sort of cot (which they might want to sell)
