There was no colour transfer after cleaning, but because the tent is designed for outdoor use it tended to attract dirt more easily. I always struggle with fitting the sunshade properly in all four corners, but it doesn’t matter, it works just as well when fixed in just two or three places.The point here though is that you can get a good idea of the quality of a product by the number and type of features that are available on the product. So take the time to look at the features listed for Littlelife Arc 2 Travel Cot and it will help guide you on the quality. No, a travel cot is not suitable for your baby to sleep in every night. Designed for use when you're away from home such as on holiday or visiting friends or family overnight, travel cots are much lighter than standard cots so they're not robust enough for permanent use. The mattress supplied with a travel cot is thinner than a standard cot mattress because it's designed to fold compactly for travelling, so it's unlikely to provide sufficient support for a baby to sleep on every night. Can I change the travel cot mattress? What our tester thought:‘Other than it being heavy and a bit bulky to store and travel with, I think the Graco Contour Electra is an excellent travel cot that has some fabulous features,’ says our tester Hollie, who reviewed it with her ten-month-old daughter, Margot. ‘It folds out really easily into a full-size cot.’

When Rosie was really little (and didn’t move around) I used to keep both the side and top open, to not make her feel too enclosed. Now that she’s moving I often close the side but still open the top as it allows her to stand up and look out when she is awake. If the first 6 months have gone, the choices expand. In this case one of the most interesting features to look for is the possibility of opening one of the side panels.

Help

Put them to bed in the travel cot at home for a few days to get them used to sleeping in it while in familiar surroundings. Of course, one downside to buying online is that you aren’t able to see the product in-person. But there are many ways to help you determine a product’s quality without seeing it.
