Little Life Arc 3 Travel Cot

We purchased the Little Life Arc 3 when our baby was 2 months old for a trip to Crete – we didn't actually need to use it as a cot on this occasion but the mat was perfect for our baby to lie and play on due to its hexagonal shape as the floor in our apartment was tiled. Now our baby is older he also enjoys using it as a play den.

We were initially attracted to this product because it is so lightweight and packs down easily to fit into your luggage when flying.

However, another great feature is its versatility.

It does take a bit of practice to put the cot up but, once mastered, it's easy enough and you don't need much more assembly space than the area of the cot as the poles bend into position.

At 9 months old our baby is quite sensitive to noise and doesn’t like the sound of the velcro when dis-assembling the mattress from the base or the door zips closing, however, once settled he sleeps very well in it and this should only be a temporary problem.

It is good value for money as, unlike some other types of cot, this product does not outgrow baby quickly and is just as useful when visiting grandparents, friends etc as when travelling.
