Pop-up travel cots for toddlers - any good?

I want to buy a travel cot for my DD (14mo)and I've seen a few pop-up/tent style that she wouldn't outgrow quite so quickly. The ones I've seen are Bushbaby, Little Life Arc and Nomad, but I don't want to make an expensive mistake. Has anyone used any of these (or something similar) and what did they think? Thanks

I'd highly recommend the Baby Dan travel cot..

We have twins and go away a lot so wanted ones that would last..our girls can still stretch out in them with lots of room and they are now 2.5 years old and fairly tall..

We bought two BabyDans and they have taken some serious jumping/whacking from them whenever they sleep/play in them - have lasted really well..the girls started climbing over the sides aged about 2 years and the sides are still fully intact!

They're also really easy to fold up and put down..also fold up relatively small and are very durable..

I have the little life twin arc - definately could recommend it.
Light to take away, easy to assemble (although not as easy as a pop up) and ds still has plenty of room, he is now 2.1 years. Hope this helps.

Annwoo you must be a lot smarter than me as I find the LL twin arc a nightmare to assemble...

I have the samsonite one and it is great. It is totally a pop up - takes no time to assemble. It fits in the top of our suitcase and weighs very little. We used it beyond the age on it too. I think we must have used it until my ds2 was sleeping in a single bed at home - though we only used it on holiday of course.

We also have babydan. Lasted for ages even though our son was v tall. Can put it up in a few seconds.
