I’m thinking that this is another case of “necessity is the mother of invention”. Whoever thought of this obviously had a small child and spent family time at the beach, in the park or camping! The LittleLife Arc 3 Travel Cot is a perfect solution for traveling and spending time outdoors with your young child. It’s very sturdy and is a breeze to set up. Because of all the mesh panels it doesn’t get hot and stuffy and the soft foam mattress, with it’s removable and washable cover, is extremely comfortable. It offers a measure of shade so it’s terrific for when your child needs to nap while you’re spending a relaxing afternoon at the beach. If you throw a towel on top your little one will be totally shaded and, because of the airiness the mesh provides, it will stay cool inside. And, as it gets later in the afternoon and the mosquitoes come out, this travel cot can be used as a bug free playpen. You may even decide to set it up as a bed inside your large family tent when you go camping because, I believe you’ll find that the LittleLife Arc 3 Travel Cot will quickly become a favorite safe and cozy haven for you’re toddler to enjoy.  You know, the more I think about this handy little cot, the more uses I can imagine for it. For instance, say you’re at your older kids soccer/football/baseball game, just put some favorite toys in with your young one and – voila – everybody’s happy, safe and secure. Or, maybe you’re holidaying in Mexico or Hawaii or Greece (lucky you). This travel cot is so light and easy to carry it would be perfect to bring along for those lazy days on those sun drenched beaches. You may even find that you’re setting it up in the playroom at home so the kids can use it as a fort! All in all, I bet this versatile little cot will become one of your favorite accessories (if you have a small kid that is). Come have a look.
