Regalo Travel Cot - Travel Product Review

Kids Love It! That is what it says on the side of the box, actually that is what it says on four sides of the box. I ordered the Regalo Travel Cot from walmart.com before what was supposed to be a trip to San Antonio and turned out to be a trip to Florida. My son is 2 and a half years old, he outgrew the pack-n-play a few months ago, in fact when we came to Florida in March his head and feet were touching the ends of the pack-n-play so it was definitely time for something new.

I searched the Internet for something safe, comfortable and inexpensive what I found was the Regalo Travel Cot. When it first arrived at the house we took it out of the box set it up and without any prompting my son went to his bed picked out his blankets and pillow and brought them all to his new travel cot. He set up the cot the way he wanted it with stuffed animals and all then climbed on and laid down.

It really is true, kids love it. I didn't really believe what I was seeing, I did not expect him to hate it but to recognize it as a bed without being told and then to climb in so readily? I wasn't ready for that. After a good play sleep we packed up the Travel cot in it's handy carrying bag (included) in preparation for our road trip to Florida. It is lightweight but sturdy making it easy to carry around but safe and secure once it is set up for the little guy's bedtime. It folds up long about 2 1/2 feet but not very wide about 6 inches which makes it really easy to fit in the car. In my Mini Cooper it fits perfectly in the floor of the storage area and in the RX8 it fits easily in the trunk with lots of positioning options.

Once at your destination it fits perfectly in any size room. We have it between the bed and the closet in the bedroom that my son and I share while visiting Grandma in Florida. It fits with no trouble at all and there is still room to get around in the room, if you were staying in a very small room, the cot is so easy to fold up that you could just fold it and store it when it wasn't in use during the day. I plan to use this cot many more times in the coming months and maybe even years. The listing on the box says it can be used for 2 - 7 year olds but if my guy keeps growing at his current rate he will be too talk for it before he is 7 but I am guessing we will be able to use it till he is around 5 years old and that is still 2 1/2 years away so I will have many more traveling adventures to share with you and keep you informed on how the Regalo Travel Cot holds up.
