is there a way to secure the cot open? its seems to not want to stay open all the way

i have the same problem but i notice the more my baby uses it the better it stays open. but its a little tipsy due to mine having a bent bar that came that way.

We put a thick sleeping bag on top of it, so he had a softer cushion, and didn't have any trouble with it trying to close.

none other than the weight of the person, dog, or pile of toys placed on it :-)

I secured the expandable parts when the cot was upside down on the floor using zip ties.

My daughter didn't have a problem. My grand-daughter is rather light, so it could be a question of weight.

I put a sleeping bag on the cot & didn't have any trouble with it trying to close.

Yes, the cot seems too short. We tried to use it for a five year old, feet hung over so it was too the floor.

Be careful when you extend (open) the tent not to push the tab (lock) too far towards the bottom. It will click ever so lightly, The top will still sag a little. Sounds like you opened it too far. Check the tap lock on the front right leg.

I have to get behind it and make sure the pins are behind the metal tab/stopper. We also reinforced the metal tab/stopper so it was more sturdy and less prone to slip. You could probably open and close it from the side if you had two people (one on each side). When in a sitting position make sure it isn't too close to the wall or it will ding/dent the wall. I placed felt stickers on the part that touches the wall and it has helped.

No. Consider stronger support for top bunk in future. Though my wild child has not broken it yet :)

There is a lever that goes through the leg of the cradle that you can have locked into the bed so it can't swing. Or you can pull it out give it a little twist to lock the lever in place and the bed can swing back and forth.

undo the latches on the sides and push in the corners. it should start to collapse in on itself.

The fan isn't strong enough or tall enough to reach the top bunk. I suggest installing a ceiling fan in that room. If that is not possible maybe a stronger or taller floor fan would work. Hope that helps.

I have not had trouble with that, but did as a precaution, cut some small maybe 4x4" squares of that closed cell blue foam roll like they have at Walmart for a 1/4" thick or so sleeping pad for a tent. That foam roll was too long for me being female anyway, so I didn't miss 4" off the end across it. I cut 6 of those one for each foot on the cot, and big enough for them not to slip out from under the "feet" of the cot. Don't know if that was necessary but love that tent and didn't want to take the chance. Hope this helps...

I always used a receiving blanket or pad and just wrapped it around the "mattress" and secured it. At that age, my little one didn't move around wildly enough to disturb it. And I was right there the whole time.

Sounds like its defective, ours is tight (it was to be for waterproofing) but not unreasonably hard to get off. Perhaps try a pair of pliers?

No, it's open to be able to drape over the cot. We tucked ours under the cot while using to keep bugs out.

I have this mattress and I'm having the same problem. It scoots down so that it's drooping off the edge and the frame is exposed at the top.

Hi there. We had the same issue! There is a small "button" on one of the legs (at the edge of the bed part) that you press . It's the same one that's SUPPOSED to click to lock it into place (had some difficulties w/one of ours). It isn't obvious since it kind of blends in with all the other black plastic hardware. Hope this helps. Have a blessed week! :) | db, charlotte nc | 11-Nov-2014.

There is a magnet that helps keep it close, but there is no elastic or magnet to keep it open. I haven't found that to be a problem though because I am either using the hand strap or just holding it. I recommend it unless you want there to be something like you are asking about. You could always use a rubber band I guess.

Are you trying to keep something out of it or in it? There is no place to put a lock on it. It does latch closed so a young child would have a time getting it open.

No, it will not stay up. I tried teaching my Mini Aussie rescue how to "burrow in" by luring with tiny treats (and he's a smart lil pup, does great at agility and is incredibly fast @ figuring out the dog-puzzle stuff I give him) but no go. I ended up having to leave it mostly-unzipped, wait til he hops in, then come over and zip it up because he quickly falls asleep from the coziness around him. Planning to head to a craft store to find a way to Velcro-attach some sort of semi-rigid-but-flexible strap around the opening so he doesn't need to depend on me to get snuggled.
