Why would you recommend this product to a friend/fellow mum?

I absolutely love this product and so did my son. He noticed the bear on the bed straightaway and jumped in to give it a hug.   The bed folds small and comes in a handy bear designed bag which makes it portable as well as easy to store. The design on the front of the bag is fun which adds to the excitement for the child to sleep in a special bed during a trip away.  The bed is easy to inflate because it comes with a handy pump. The instructions are clear and easy to follow. The material is washable and easy to remove/put back on. The cover is thin which is perfect for current weather but if used in the winter months, extra layers of clothing would be needed. A headrest is a great as there is no need for a pillow. The manufacturer has thought about safety because the zips are child-proof. This is a product I would definitely recommend to Mums with children from 18 months to 3 years who are going away for a few days. It's comparable to travel cot prices and will be used for probably the same length of time. In the light of this, I think the price is reasonable.

How does this product make your life easier as a mum?

To date, we have been taking a travel cot for my son but I am conscious my little boy will soon outgrow it. This is the perfect next step solution and, being light and compact, it doesn't take up too much room in the car. I love the design and found this a good tool to persuade my son to try the bed. It's a great product to use for a few days.  Many times despite booking a cot with our hotel room when on holiday or a long weekend away, we have been told no cot is available. This takes the stress away from such situations.

If you could change one thing about this product what would it be?

I would give the parent further information regarding the duvet thickness by informing them the tog number. This allows the parent to check the temperature of the room and dress their child appropriately.

The bed was easy to inflate, it came with a foot pump. The bed was large enough for my little boy and comfortable for him. The bear design is very cute. I liked that it comes in a rucksack which is great for storing and transporting.

How does this product make your life easier as a mum?

It's quick and easy to put up. We've a bed within a few minutes which is great when we visited family.

If you could change one thing about this product what would it be?

The price would put me off buying this bed. I couldn't justify spending nearly £40 when you can get ready beds for cheaper than this.

Why would you recommend this product to a friend/mum?

I tested this product when my grandson came to stay. He's nearly three years old but fitted into the bed fine with still room to grow. I found the bed easy to put up and pack away in the rucksack it came in. My grandson slept well in it, no complaints. I would recommend this to my daughter and other mums.

How does this product make your life easier as a grandmum?

It made my life easier as a grandmother because I usually have my grandson in with me as he is too big for a travel cot. I was able to get some sleep. My daughter will be buying this bed. She especially liked the bear and how pleased her son was to have his own bed.

If you could change one thing about this product what would it be?

Nothing!

The cutest little bed you ever did see. Love the teddy bear theme and that it packs lovely and compact into an adorable little teddy rucksack. So handy for trips away as comes with a handy pump in the bag. So cosy for little one and simply to blow up and get back into the bag.

This is a must for any families having children's friends stay over or when camping or going away for a mini break. It's not a bed that could be used daily but a perfectly great option for a little break. The teddy bear design adds also to the novelty. Absolutely loved it.

If you could change one thing about this product what would it be?

Maybe could do with being a touch bigger as was a little on the snug sign for my almost 3 year old.

This ready bed is something that every parent should invest in. Extremely cute and so handy for trips away or kids to stay. Was really easy to put up and little one looked so comfy and snug in it. So easy to carry around in the cutest teddy bear rucksack. Will recommend this to all our friends.

A great fun alternative to travel cots for bigger toddlers.

My kids all loved this and were keen to all take a turn so holidays are easy-peasy now, we can squeeze an extra in a bedroom without lugging a travel cot around.

Make it longer so my 5 and 6 year olds can stretch out in it.
