Having read other reviews and trawling through the many travel cots I decided to buy the babydan and have no regrets what so ever. I bought it in black over blue because of the price difference. This is an excellent travel cot. The cot is incredibly easy for one person to put up and can be fully set up and usable within minutes. Folding the cot away is just as simple; and it folds down into such a compact size which is then stored in a carry case that it is easy to stoe away. I would recommend this cot for a number of reasons: It is lightweight, compact, it is a full size cot, can be used as a playpen, it is simple to errect and dismantle, it is very strong and sturdy, my baby loves to be in it, it has a useful storage pouch at one end.I intially set the cot up in the sitting room as a play pen/nap time cot. It is a full size cot so does take up some room but it means that the cot will last for several years before the baby outgrows it. The base is very strong althoguh the matress is too hard for the baby to sleep on for any length of time over a period of time. This can be easily rectified by layering the matress with a towel or additional blankets. I have taken the cot to Germany. It packed so compactly that there was no chance of it being damaged in the plane. It has been designed to tow the cot on wheels as you would tow your suit case which is very practical.The price is excellent compared to others on the market.I can't speak highly enough for this cot. It has so many uses from being a cot, playpen, use for travel to friends houses, grandparents or abroad. It is so versatile, lightweight with easy assembly, it folds down well, at such a good price and it is built to last. I would recommend it with no hesitation.
