About this deal
The Arc 2 is compact, with the rucksack measuring around 25cmx40cmx32cm - and with a bit of squeezing it would squash down further.
If it was shaped like most cots on the market then, admittedly, it wouldn’t be as easy to pack down and carry around. I wonder if this is something that Little Life will consider in the future to help all of us travel as lightly as possible? Designed to be comfortable and safe for the child the removable foam mattress is washable and has a soft cotton cover. It has a two-pole frame offering great stability and easy access through the enlarged zip-down front panel.Initially, we were a little confused and there were several adults all weighing in on what it should look like and where it should all go.
That meant I needed quite a bit of room to assemble the cot and had to ensure my curious three-year-old Catherine was safely out of the way first. I was glad I’d been in the girl guides because it did feel a bit like putting up a tent,’ said Charlotte. They gave me good visibility and when fully zipped up they would provide complete protection against mosquitoes and other undesirable bugs out in the wilds. The poles come folded into sections but, once put together, are fairly lengthy which means that you'll definitely need some room in the living room or garden for assembly. There was no colour transfer after cleaning, but because the tent is designed for outdoor use it tended to attract dirt more easily.
It’s so light that it can be picked up and put down without having to take it apart, but the mattress and sheet would need rearranging to make sure it was safe to place a child inside once the cot had been relocated.
