I cannot believe that this cot has not been taken off the market. As some of the other reviewers have mentioned, there is a strap that runs across the middle of the cot and essentially makes sleeping on it like sleeping on a bed with a couple of 2x4s running straight across your back. No parent who loved their child would make their child sleep in this most horribly uncomfortable item. I know, you'll be tempted to ignore this based on the good reviews. Buy at your own peril.
