When I recieved this portable travel cot I thought that it was a portable crib, oh how I was wrong. For one it is light like one of those portable chairs. I have a one and a half year old so I take his stroller everywhere and I only brought this travel cot to this festival we went to. The setup time was about two minutes and I put him in there with his toys and snacks and he was entertained. This is the second best thing to the stroller.
