Red Kite Sleeptight Travel Cot - Raspberry

I read the reviews which seemed to have mixed feelings about this travel cot but knew from others that it was a very good item so ordered it. From out of the box to fully assembled in 2 minutes! There's nothing complicated about this whatsoever it just needs some common sense when setting up but everything is pretty obvious. The only problem I had when collapsing it (other than keeping it together as it tried to escape in various directions on our hard wood floor like a rampant squid!) is that the long side clips keeping the siderails together, they need to be un-clicked from both sections to allow the cot to fold properly. It's just one small thing to check but once aware compacting it back down is really easy. Also take note of how the mattress (that wraps around the cot) first detaches as you find an extra set of velcro straps that weren't there when first undoing it not realising you need to further wrap the mattress around overlapping to get the first set of straps to go through flat eyelets and secure back over themselves.The key to success is to have a trial run setting up and packing away before using it in anger, you'll be an expert after that!As others have said the mattress is quite thin as by design it is effectively a soft material bonded to a sectioned hard board (to allow it to fold/wrap around the frame in transit) but for an item that is designed for occasional overnight stays and not be a complete ballache to carry around - it's perfectly acceptable. If you want further comfort then purchase a separate mattress and add it to the plethora of other baby equipment in the armoury!p.s. The Raspberry colour is actually very nice and rich!

Ordered 2 of these for use with my 2 granddaughters, they were delivered quickly, not the colour I ordered i was expecting the pink love hearts and got the raspberry colour but it seems my daughter likes them better, so easy to assemble and put down again and fold up quite small, I bought mattresses to go in them as the base is quite hard

Bought this for when I have my baby Granddaughter. Very pleased with it. It is sturdy, goes up and down easily and packs away neatly with a little carry handle. I have used it at least twice a week for several months and it is still as good as new. I bought the mattress to go with it which fits perfectly. I use it for my Granddaughter's naps and as a playpen if I need to leave the room. I like the mesh sides as I can see her easily and she can see out as well as it allowing ventilation. One word of advice - you need to open and close the sides in the right order (instructions are provided)- If you don't, the sides won't click into position on the way up and won't fold down properly on the way down.

Is a good travel cot but will need a mattress if being used for more than one night. I found one easily for £20 so still good value for money

It come a completely different colour as shown but still nice , space saving

Item as described, easy to set and a gorgeous colour. Light weight and practical

Super easy to use
