The Regalo My Cot Deluxe Portable Bed is a fantastic, flexible, option for families that want a portable travel bed for toddlers and preschoolers. Not an inflatable toddler mattress like many of it’s competitors, the Regalo is a fold out stretcher that is incredibly quick to set up and keep clean, making it great for outdoor and indoor use alike.
The Regalo My Cot Deluxe Portable Bed is best for…
Families that need a portable travel cot that is extremely quick to set up, very portable, strong and long lasting. The construction quality is high and it is made from durable materials. This mean that the Regalo Portable Bed is an ideal candidate for those who need a bed that can withstand different environments, from a motel room to the beach, while keeping kids comfortable and safe.
Ease of use: 4/5
The Regalo Cot needs assembly to use. It is very easy to set up and fold away when no longer in use. Assembly is quick and can be done in less than a minute. This is much faster than inflating and deflating an air filled mattress.
Cleaning is very easy. The cot cover slides off and is machine washable. The canvas top and steel frame can be washed down with water and dries quickly.
Portability: 4/5
Toddler travel beds that require assembly do not come any more portable than the Regalo. Coming with a carry bag for storage, the total weight is a touch over 6lb, and once folded up is just 2 feet long and approximately 8in thick. It is easy to carry in a suitcase or the trunk of your car. Only an inflatable toddler travel bed is more portable.
Comfort: 3.5/5
The canvas cot liner is firm and stable. Combined with the included fitted sheet the cot provides an excellent level of comfort. The cot remains stable and supportive and does not move or shift when a child moves around while sleeping.
Some parents have added foam mattress toppers, cut to size, under the fitted sheet for increased softness and comfort.
Age range: 3/5
The Regalo My Cot Bed can support children up to the weight of 75lb and a height of 52 inches and is ideal for children between the ages of 2 and 5. Children younger than two have used the Regalo Cot but because it does not contain children it won’t be suitable for all such younger kids – see our guide to see if a toddler bed is suitable for your child.
Safety: 4/5
The Regalo My Cot for kids is safe. The steel frame is light yet very strong when assembled, meaning there is no chance of collapsing or sagging. The cot is raised seven inches off the ground, so if a child does roll out they are unlikely to hurt themselves. The top of the cot yields a little when slept in, meaning that your child will be in a slight concave, decreasing the chance of rolling out. The canvas top is double stitched for strength. However, because children are not contained, this bed is not ideal for your child if they move a lot during sleep.
