LittleLife Arc 2 Superlight Portable Compact Travel Cot With Mattress, Fitted Sheet And Hand-Luggage Sized Backpack | Weight 2.4 kg

Product Information

The tent poles bend to hold the fabric taut and are easy to secure with ground pegs, which are included in the pack. This cot is brilliant, I have been trying to look for a light weight cot so I can fit it in my suitcase and avoid having to pay for another bag on easy jet and this cot is perfect, light weight, quite small when folded but large when assembled. If your child is not particularly tall, I would say that the Arc 2 is suitable from birth to 3-4 years old. However, if you work better with visuals, there is also a handy video which shows you exactly how to assemble the Arc 2. The main part of the cot is assembled like a tent with two colour-coded poles – one silver and one green – that correspond with the coloured webbing.

This is despite the fact that the mattress does not at first glance appear to be thick enough to be suitable for a little baby. What it has been designed for is off-the-beaten track travel, for being packed up and moved around and for use in hot, humid countries with night-time mosquitoes. Yes, there are four tether straps on the corners of the cot, which I used around the legs of a bed to keep the cot secure.Had our daughter in it from 5-months, she's now 2-and-a-bit and is happy in it, take it camping, on holiday and to friends when crashing over. It might also help to use your baby’s familiar cot sheets instead of the new one provided (which is green and might feel strange or distracting).

The LittleLife Arc 2 Cot Sunshade is created for use with the LittleLife Arc 2 Travel Cot and covers the top and five sides of the cot, protecting your baby from harmful UV rays from the sun when use the cot in the outdoors. This feature would also be great for parents used to sleeping with their children to the side of them - you can lie on the floor next to the Arc 2 with the front panel down and soothe an upset baby. The Little Life Arc 2 Travel Cot is their lightest and most compact travel cot, weighing in at just 2. Youngest is now 14 months and when we went camping last bank holiday, we didn't bother with the cots and just put her on a camping mattress - slept fine.Budget accommodation tends not to give you the option to have a cot in the room, so we end up having to rearrange furniture, ask for extra mattresses and in general none of these options are ideal for our youngest daughter. Depending on the situation or your child’s preferences you can turn the Arc 2 from an open cot into a shady tent or even a playpen. Our tester tried the cot at home both indoors and in the garden and felt that it was more suited to outdoor life, which could put some parents off.
