I have completely enjoyed using the cot canopy, my little 8 month old transitioned from the cradle directly to the cot with cot canopy and it has been a dream transition. Her sleeping patterns maintained or improved, she settles for day sleeps a lot easier, and re settles as well. I have utilised the loop inside the cot canopy to hang a toy and she will quite often self settle laying there looking up at the toy.
Reading in bed is bliss. She is not bothered by the lights from reading, our talking nor does she seem as disturbed by my husband’s loud and consistent snoring. Prior to trialling the cot canopy she would often wake upon his alarm going off, now she is sleeping through it.
There are a few points that I have found to be slightly disappointing, it is very difficult to change the bed with the canopy on, I needed an extra person to get the canopy on the first time, and one of the disadvantages of the advantage of the shade it provides it is very difficult to locate her dummy during the night if she needs it to resettle.
Overall I have thoroughly enjoyed the privilege of being selected to trial the Canopy and look forward to continuing to read in bed and for my husband and I to discuss the days activities in bed.

I was lucky enough to be selected to road test the new Content & Calm Cot Canopy. I was particularly excited to receive this product as we had an upcoming holiday to Hawaii and my 5 month old baby Nathan would be sharing a room with my 5 year old son. I was concerned about two major issues, 1. How I was going to get Nathan to sleep during the day when the room he was staying in would be flooded with light and 2. How I could possibly ensure that Nathan would not be distracted by sharing the bedroom with his older brother. I needn’t have worried as the Cot Canopy eliminated both of these issues!
We were travelling with a Phil & Teds Travel Cot which is considerably smaller than the standard travel cot so I was a little concerned when I first saw the size of the Cot Canopy. As you can see from the pictures, although it wasn’t a snug fit or a particularly attractive one it still did the job remarkably well.
Pros
1. Allowed Nathan to sleep in the daytime as the Cot Canopy blocked out almost all of the natural light in the room.
2. Ensured when Nathan woke in the night he did not see his older brother beside him, thus ensuring he just settled himself back to sleep as he would have done if he was in his own room alone at home.
3. Nathan settled very easily in the Cot Canopy. He had no trouble adjusting to the change in his sleeping environment at all.
4. Very easy to set up. It only took me about 5 minutes to assemble.
Cons
1. The metal poles are relatively heavy and took up more of our valuable luggage allowance than I would have liked.
Overall I would highly recommend the Cot Canopy, especially if you were using it on a holiday that didn’t involve air travel!
