Product Description
Weighing just 2. 5 kgs, the Arc 2 Travel Cot is the lightest and most compact cot. The two toughened aluminum poles that form the structure of the cot form an extremely stable frame, ensuring safety for your child. The unique asymmetric design also means that the front opening face of the cot is wider and higher than the back, making it more accessible. The top of the cot can also be opened for access to the cot from above. Lightweight materials are used throughout, and the front, back and top panels are made from airy mosquito mesh - ideal for indoor and outdoor use. The integral foam mattress can be removed and washed. This all packs away into a neat carry case. Zip-off top panel neatly folds into end pocket Ventilating mesh on both sides and top High quality components and fabrics Bi-laminate foam mattress inside Dual-Arc Aluminium pole design Zip-down side panel with safety toggle Packs into its own compact carry case Complies with safety standards BS7177-1996, EN716-1996 BS7423-1999.

We bought this cot when our son was around 6 months old, for putting up when we stayed the night at friends and, we hoped, trips abroad. This cot has since been an indespensible part of our travel kit, whether we are spending the night at granny's or going to India or the US for 2 weeks. Our son is almost 2 years old, and still uses the cot.
It is extremely light and portable. Will fit inside a suitcase, or can be slung over your shoulder as carry on. The first time putting it up i had to follow the instructions, but now we can put it up easily in about 2-3 mins.
The cot itself affords the child a lot of space. I have seen references to tying down or tethering this cot. We have never had to do this. I suppose if your child was to stand up and grab the sides and start shaking it it may be necessary. But the way the cot is designed (with all the area distributed at the bottom) means it is extremely unlikely to topple (in fact, i can't see that happening at all). I suppose at worst it may move across the room if the child was particularly aggro.
The mattress is not the thickest in the world. We often put a folded sheet under the cot to give some more comfort/protect from cold floors. This is fine however, as such items are always available and I'd rather not carry that bulk in the cot when we travel.
In short, I am really glad I purchased this instead of a heavier, solid-style travel cot. It has done the trick for us with minimum fuss. As I said in the title, this has been one of our top baby buys. I have certainly spent twice as much on things I have used a tenth as much. Not sure what age it is rated to, but our son is going on 22 months and I can see us using this for a while yet.

I bought this travel cot as I was flying from London to Scotland and back with a train trip in between with my 11 month baby and not staying anywhere with an abundance of baby equipment. This cot is great as it is only 2.5kgs so the weight limit on the plane of 20kgs is not dented too much by it. Also it is pretty small when packed down so can fit in a decent sized suitcase (though is bigger than it looks from the perspective in the pictures). Putting up is not tricky and once you have found some furniture to tie it to it works a treat. Baby quite happy in it. The bigger 'put in the car boot' travel cots are easier to work with but I would highly recommend the LittleLife Arc-2 if weight and space are issues.

We have used this travel cot for the last two weeks while on holiday and it worked really great. I particularly like the fact that it folds up so small, unlike many other travel cots. Our little boy loved being in it and slept fine. A much much better option than the other travel cots on the market. My only downside was that the corners need to loop around something so that it won't topple over. I have seen other ones on the market that have an anti-topple device, although they are more expensive. And after we'd hooked a bed and cabinet to the corners, we realised they also assisted in the ability to climb out! We are going camping with it in a few weeks, and can use the tent pegs, but will probably have the cot inside our tent, on a groundsheet, so again, the toppling thing comes into consideration. Good cot though if you don't want to pay more and are happy to tie it round bed posts!

It's OK!
Straight forward to erect. Initially we thought it would provide a safe space for baby indoors as well but other travel cots are bigger, more secure and overall more suitable. Read more
