Littlelife Travel cot

[Smellen]

Anyone bought the travel tent by littlelife? If so, any good?

Hi. Yes we have it. It is fab in as far as it is very light and compact, but it is a pain to set up. It takes me 20 mins, my husband slightly less, and that is after several goes. One of the poles snapped, which they replaced immediately, but you do feel like you will break them when trying to assemble it. For choice if we are going in the car I bung in the normal travel cot, but if you need to travel light they are great. If you buy it, make sure you either leave enough time to put it up before bed time or practise first! Hope this helps. Not sure it will last til she is 4 as they claim.

Was thinking about this today, and thought I might buy their little pop-up bassinet(te) thingy, as he will be 4 months when we travel. It retails at £22, so will not break the bank.

With regard to assembly, I have to admit that I am crap at anything "with moving parts".

The other thing that occured to me is that when we visit family & friends and are squeezed into their spare rooms, the littlelife cot might require a bit too much floorspace, because it has sticky-out bits, doesn't it?

As I imagine the rest of our jaunts over the next couple of years will be in the UK, with the car, I could then buy a slightly heavier traditional cot.

Does this sound like a good plan?

Hi...it does take up some floor space, but not much more than a trad travel cot. A pop up one seems a good idea, but you won't get much use out of it if your baby is 4 months already. Not sure what the mattresses are like on the pop up ones...they are surprisingly comfy on the "tent" one. It is worth it if you are flying or training it to friends, otherwise, prob stick with a trad one.
