~*~*~INTRODUCTION~*~*~
My mother in law wanted to buy a travel cot when my son was born as she will be looking after him when I go back to work. We looked around on the internet and when she saw the Graco compact she decided that was the one, she loved that it was nice and bright and thought my son would enjoy playing in there as well as sleeping. We ordered it from Kiddicare but unfortunately they have stopped selling it. I have since seen it on Amazon, Halfords and Ebay though for roughly the same prices.
~*~*~FEATURES~*~*~
-The travel cot unfolds easily and I actually put it up in a couple of minutes on my first attempt.
-The sides are mesh which is nice and soft for wriggly babies banging their heads, also comforting to parents being able to see through the sides to the baby.
-The mattress base is quite thin and has a cardboard base, this doubles up as the boxing in which the travel cot folds up in.
~*~*~DIMENSIONS~*~*~
Open: 78cm (H) x 73cm (W) x 104cm (L) Folded: 81cm x 25cm x 25cm Weight: 9.22kg
~*~*~CONCLUSION~*~*~
Well, my mother in law hasn't actually used it yet but I have. My husband and I borrowed it when we went to visit family and it was great. It unfolded quickly and easily and was just as easy to pack away again. My son slept soundly in it, except annoyingly as we were in the same room, he enjoyed scratching the mesh sides in his sleep. I'm not so sure it would be big enough for a 3 year old like it states, but I could be wrong. My mother in law also bought a separate mattress to use in it from Kiddicare, as he will be using it a lot and she wanted him to be comfortable. I think it is an ideal travel cot if you need something relatively light and compact.

Review of Graco Travel Cot
Advantages: Compact, easily assembled for use, can be used from birth, Disadvantages: Changer pad not very useful, not quite so easy to fit back into the carry case the first time you try, takes a little practise!
