Excellent...but, 4 Feb. 2014

My son (14 months) slept in this (from approx 7 months) for about 4/5 months (as we were travelling around and moving countries) and could continue to do so for a long while (indoors I mean)....had he not worked out how to open the zip from inside! You have to be careful to make sure you close the zip tightly as he worked out that if he got his fingers ito prise open the zippers he could use his fingers to open the whole thing (aaaagh!) result, a baby crawling around outside the tent without your knowledge. Solution a simple ribbon tying the two zippers together (but make sure the knot is easy to open incase of emergency). It would be easier if the maufacturers bult in a button/velcor thing to keep the two zippers together. I emailed them with the issue but never got a response. I had to stop using it indoors as his sleeping place because he is crawling and trying to stand up so the tent just goes over. However, I will use it again when he's abit more stable and for the outdoors,...

Great for a big baby, 16 Jun. 2013

My son is large, and I didn't want to buy a travel cot that he would soon grow out of, this was suggested to me and it's been great. I was a bit hesitant at first, but so far so good.Great things about it: super light, so much lighter than any other cot. Great for planes, but also just to pop in the car. Comfortable - lovely blow up mattress and a mattress topper. Compact. Goes up really easily - no tired baby waiting whilst you try to put a cot up. Also goes down very easily once you have got the hang of it - there is a good youtube video.I'm not sure how it would work for a crawling / walking baby, but you can zip the sides up, so there would be no escape! Sides are mesh so you can see in still.I also love that it's cosy for the baby - we put his star tortoise in it and it makes it like home for him - no unfamiliar rooms to look out at.

Travel centre, 26 Jun. 2012

I bought this tent to use as a travel cot and we have now been traveling with it for a month with our 7 month old. The things I like about it are that it shades the light, creating what I think looks like a better sleeping atmosphere, and it is very easy to take up/down. The things I don't like about it are the inflatable mattress makes no difference at all (we've actually left it behind for that reason), so we have been placing the tent on top of blankets while away to make it softer. The other thing is, it goes on the floor so getting baby in and out of it involves bending onto knees, a bit tiresome. I think as a sun shelter it will be very good when she's old enough to sit up and play in it.
