Not to sound overly dramatic but this thing almost ended my marriage. Thank you!!
Lol no ways u kidding
My sympathies. A similar predicament was unfolding at my house too.
I totally understand, we spent hours at it and gave up. Watched the video today, could not believe it 🙈
😂🤣
LOL this made me laugh so much I almost broke the thing
Thank you! 8 years later and this video is still saving lives and holidays!
So helpful struggled for two hours with one side that refused to go up. Grateful grandparent!!
They are so hilarious and you are PERFECT for explaining it so clearly. When we had our twins back from hospital I spent over four hours swearing and trying to get the cots up. Found the technique by mistake! Now a friend was trying and couldn't work it out and I'd forgotten everything except the frustration three years ago. You explain it so clearly ♥️
Really useful video, thank you. I bought one years ago and it remained unused until recently. Took me ages to get it errected but eventually went to utube and found this really helped! One additional point which helped me when folding it back together is to ensure that the joint where the cot sides collapse, these need to be in a U shape or it still wont collapse down. You can wriggle the joint until it goes into this shape. Mine wasnt as easy to collapse as you showed here so this additional comment left on another website helped me fold it completely. So thanks to her too!
Omg. This video is a life saver. After buying the cot and struggling to build it for ages which ended up with a mental breakdown, a divorce and a packet of Prozac I finally built it in seconds after seeing this. Thanks 👌👌👌👌
As you can see from the comments below, you saved a great number of frustrated people from physically throwing the thing away. It was given to us second hand and having spent hours trying to put it up, we were ready to take it to the dump. Thank God my husband had the brilliant idea to check on TH-cam and find you!
After struggling for absolutely ages trying put a travel cot up, sweating and 🤬 trying to lock the sides in place, I thought I would check You Tube and I found this clip. After watching it, it took me all of around 10 seconds to put up and for the sides to lock!! 😊This clip is a must watch if you have a travel cot ! 👏🏻
OMG within seconds u saved me from a complete and utter meltdown. thank you thank you thank you
Brilliant. I followed your advice and did it in 15 seconds. We'll forget about the 30 minutes before I saw the video, the cut on the hand and the blood. Thanks for saving from a nervous breakdown.
Spent ages wondering why I couldn't get 2 sides up. Found your video and sorted it in 2 minutes. You superstar!
Me and my sister too!
Thank You - i struggled because i put the middle down first !! - Just show you your videos are very worthwhile.
Thank you so much! We were struggling with the cot and then I saw your video and it was done in 2 minutes!
Lol almost got a divorce because of the freaking travel cot!!! Thank you!!
😭😭😭😭 you saved my sanity. After working on the cot for an hour I want to beat myself up for not coming to youtube first. Issue was sorted out in seconods. You're the best!
Thank you so much, I have been struggling for days with one floppy side! 😃 x
Thanks so much this is really helpful, what I have been struggling with since with is it was so easy
Thanks SO MUCH for this. We thought we were going mad trying to put ours up. Went up like a dream. THANKS!
Brilliant! We thought it was broken and watching this saved us from buying another one. Thanks v much indeed
Thank you for this tutorial. I have spent ages trying to collapse the travel cot that we have. You are my saviour! ❤
Thank you dear, I just spend almost an hour trying to get the sides up. Thank goodness you made this video. Much appreciated!!!
Thank you for not letting me waste six hours of my life!!! Rattled around for ten minutes with it… watched you and had it done in a minute ☺️
It was the night before my baby granddaughter would arrive and we were struggling to erect the cot -- using the absolutely wrong procedure, just as you said!! The enclosed instructions ( pics only) were hopeless. But your vid is concise and so simple!! Thankyou for saving the day!!
Thank you so much for this video. I tried to put it up the same way as you said and I spent ages as you said. Got my hair off with it too! Things are much simpler to do when you know how!!
OMG this really makes my day have been stressing myself out for over moins now thanks 🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for your advice, very helpful and time and patience saving.
Thank you so much for your video- as struggling grandparents trying to open and close the cot it was becoming a nightmare!!
Omg after spending days on failing to open it again. I watch this and in 2 seconds done. Ur video helps the most i didn't understand how it worked with the other videos either. Go mama👍🏼👏🏻
it was super helpful. i like how you made this video short and right to the point.
Lifesaver! 3 times I've struggled to put up my mothercare cot, every time I've almost thrown it out the window. All I had to do was put the sides up first.....now I want back those wasted hours! Thank you so much!
Travel cots as shown very well can be tricky! Easy yet difficult all at same time. Thank you for showing it how they really are. Also i recommend a soft playmat (toy free kind) under the sheet.
Really appreciate. I’ve done it a hundred times and each time I have to watch your tutorial again. lol
YOU ABSOLUTE ANGEL!! You just saved my sanity! I thought I was going mad.
Thank you so much! You just saved grandma and grandpa for a trip to Argos because we thought ours was broken! 😘😘😘😘
I literally spent an hour trying to put it up for you to help me in 30 seconds!! Thank you
I LOVE YOU, you wonderful woman! Been struggling all morning with the fecking travel cot, becoming increasingly bamboozled as to what I was doing wrong. You have saved my sanity :D
Thank you. I just needed the first minute to see what I was doing wrong...yep it was the base in first thing. May you be eternally blessed!
Thank you so much, you have just saved me 6 hours after trying to follow the less than clear paper instructions.
Many thanks for this video... I spent about 15 minutes trying to set this up doing it the wrong way... Pushing base down first then found your video and followed your instructions and did it in ten seconds. Thanks xxx
Excellent! I struggled and struggled and struggled with this. The key is not to push the base down first. Thank you!
Thank you so much. As grandparents trying to put up for first time, were at point of throwing through a window. Followed your advice and it was up in seconds. Thank you!
This video just stopped me throwing the travel cot in the bin as I thought it was broken. Thank you so much
Thank you. My wife n I struggled then decided to do a search and your vid. was super...thanks
THANKS YOU SAVED US A LOT OF TIME AND THANKS FOR EXPLIANING PROPERLY.
Thank you so much! We spent about 10 minutes struggling to set ours up till we came across this video
You just saved our lives! Thank you!!!!!!! Now my 4 week old has somewhere safe to sleep tonight.
That was amazing! I'd done the long time yelling at it and a few expletives left my mouth too before I reached for TH-cam and found you. Thank you xx
Thank you SO MUCH! The first 1 minute of your video saved me from hours of headache
Brilliant! Thanks Briony!Cot is now up ready for my grand daughter to arrive tonight and go straight into it!And yes I did try and put the sides up after pushing the bottom down!Thanks againJane. ( an old school granny!)
Thank you kind internet lady, for saving our holiday!
thanks for the tip on how to set up the cot! saved us a lot of time and headache!
Thank you so much.. spent ages trying to do.. watched this video and sorted in 30 seconds.. yr a star
Thanks so much. We were heading down the path of insanity... got a 2nd hand cot in very good condition but didn't get the manual.Simple when you know how. Thanks for sharing!
Omg thank you soooo much, the 1st 20 seconds of this video proved more helpful than the entire video on Kiddiecare website! I put the bottom down 1st, and wasn't able to put the sides up, was all mad, frustrated and red in the face! lol. Thank you for clarifying that (even though it's not even the same travel cot :-) )
Thank you so much I was doing it completely wrong until I watched your video and I done it correctly straight away. Thank you for your time.
Thank you. Gosh we put the base down first & thought we had bought a broken cot 😀. You saved us time & frustration. (Plus marital discord)
This was a great help. After hours trying getting it up. Thank you
Everytime I go on holiday and take the travel cot, this video reminds me of how pack away and then reassemble 🤣👍 makes my life so much easier. Thank you video lady 💗🤝
Thank you for this video. It’s a Sunday night in deepest darkest Cornwall and the travel cot was driving us nuts. Watched your video and now all sorted. We too made the mistake of pushing down the middle before the bars were up …
I’m not even a mother but I’m subscribed! Been struggling with my nieces travel cot for too long!
Your guidance was very helpful.
We are camping right now and have spent about an hour trying to put our travel cot up! Thank god we found this video! Thankyou thankyou thankyou!! We almost went and got a new one 😂
Thanks so much for showing me how to put up this travel cot. I was tearing my hair out prior to watching your clip....
Thank you. You saved us a lot of time and effort!
You are this Aunty's hero! Thank you! I have my 14 month old nephew coming over to spend the night with my 3 year old niece so their parents can have a sanity break... and putting up his camping cot nearly cost me my sanity! hahahahaa
THANK YOU!!!! I was about to launch mine out of the fricking window x
Thank you for your video, it just stopped me from chucking mine out the window. I was doing exactly what you said you did. Thanks.
Oh my goodness! Thank you so much for making this!!!
Thank you. My wife and I spent endless hours try to fold it back together !!
omg you just saved 5 hours coz I already spent one hour stressing out coz I had to sides that wouldn't clip in thank youuuu xx
Wow such a huge help I was trying the way not to do it and sweating so much lol thanks again 😊
I can't believe I have had to google this! Thank you so much 😊
You are an absolute legend me and my partner have been pulling our hair out, thankyou
Thanks very much for this golden tip. Was struggling to suss it out.
You are the real MVP. Thank you for this.
You're an angel. Hope your little ones are doing well. I am now out of the foetal position with a sturdy travel cot!
Thanks for publishing this video - So our second hand travel cot wasn't broken after all!!
Wow... I was ready to bin it before i watched your video... Thank ypu do much xxx
Thank you so much. We really needed this 🙈🙈🙈
Thank you very much...something that could probably have ruined our first Centreparcs trip........without your simple but effective instructions.
This was very helpful at 12:08am when me my brother, my sister in law and my mum had to put up said travel cot.... THANK YOU!! The bloody thing didn't even come with instructions 😂
Thank you I gave up after about ten minutes and came onto TH-cam for help. Was this another ology I needed? No! I was putting up one for when I look after my granddaughter one day a week starting tomorrow. Thank you mama - went up in seconds.
Thank you so much! You have saved us hours!
Thank you so much. Saved us from what could have been an extremely stressful trip away 😂
Thank you!! We were going crazy and video was the 1st to explain this monster properly 🙈😅💖
Thanks so much from a Nanna and an auntie who have not done this for 20 years ❤
Thank you. I wish I'd read your instructions first but - typical man - I know best - struggled with it first. I feel quite calm now its up :)
OMG u helped me soo much I spent hours trying to do it until know
Bless you. It explains the opening trick and I even impressed the memsahib.
Thanks sooooo much for the video. After cursing Mothercare for half an hour and thinking I needed an engineering degree to assemble the cot, thought to myself... might be someone on TH-cam who wasn't as clueless as me... all sorted ;)
Thank you! This saved me from complete brain ache!!
This video isn't new but it's a total lifesaver we also put the base down first. Thank you !!!
this drove my mrs mad trying to do this..we were given it as a gift second hand and thought it was broke,,,was gonna tip it tomorrow but thought we must be doing something wrong...tyvm.saved me a tip run and 100 quid on buying a new one..phew!! cheers...steve..
Thank you so much for this! I was about to buy another! One happy granny x
That is brilliant!!! you made it look simple
Much better than the videos the brand itself provides
Cheers for this. This was driving me nuts!
thanks a lot. we had tried for 10 minutes before watching your video. it then went up in 30 seconds!
Thanks for showing me how to set up the portacot. Could not work it out from the instructions.
Thank you, it seemed so easy until you can't work out how to get the sides to lock. Thank goodness you did this TH-cam. Thanks from grand parents.
