How to put up a travel cot and take it down, including how to make the side click, and how to get it back down when it just won’t collapse. You might remember I started this blog to be helpful for instance blogging about how we fix the Perfect Prep temperature warning light in a heatwave, or how to keep a toddler’s hat on… well this is one I’ve had on my list for years. Many a time, we’d arrive late desperate to get the cot up for a sleepy baby/toddler and there would be me saying “YOU DO IT!” to the husband when I just couldn’t get the side to stay up. Basically, putting up a travel cot is easy when you remember the knack but putting one up and down is something none of us do often. Our struggle was real and that’s why I’ve been meaning to write this for years: we have battled with the travel cot so many times when H was little, before we really got to grips with it. Have you had the same travel cot struggles as us? Let me know in the comments, and if this helped too! Let me know if this helps, and if you prefer to read the instructions I’ve popped a guide at the bottom of this post.

Pull the middle up from the base (use the loop).It’s basically the opposite of putting it up! Push the middle down (in the base) – make sure the legs can move out as you do this (lifting a side in the corner can help).Theres enough room available to carry a stroller and a set of golf bags when all seats are in place. Click the sides together – pull them up so they are ridged, both halves of the side should clunk in straight. A simple lever folds the rear seat flat (all of.or some other brand most of these work the same way and get stuck in the same way… this is how to get your travel cot up, make the sides stay up, get it down, and make those sides click and unclip.
