After much research we finally settled on the Littlelife Arc-2 travel cot for our new born to sleep in when camping. On delivery of the cot we were not at all disappointed as it was clearly made to a high standard with some nice finishing touches.
We decided on the Arc-2 for a number of reasons, the first being that with the purchase of the "Sun Shade" (an additional extra, check out the item and review http://www.in-a-tent.co.uk/products/798) the cot was quite dark and gave extra warmth inside.
With a choice of top or side entry to the cot via zips its very versatile and allows you to sleep next to the cot whilst being able to lift baby straight in or out without getting up and out of your sleeping bag. The side zip has a buckle on the outside that locks to prevent baby from escaping and as such allows baby its own safe play area.
The cot comes with a good quality lightweight mattress that folds away compact into the travel bag. The Cot is quite easy to assemble and takes about 5 minutes in total. Once packed away the whole thing fits snugly into the travel bag which is no bigger than an average sized sleeping bag when packed away.
I can't honestly think of a downside with it and for me it gets 10 out of 10.
