There are a lot of children on our family. My sister does not have any kids, but one of my cousins has two daughters and another cousin has two twin boys. Moreover, my aunt, who"s only ten years older than me, has had a baby recently. Can you imagine what happens when they all visit me? Sometimes they even stay for the night. Where do you think I let all those kids sleep? Not in a bed for an adult person, of course. They spend the night in special cot beds for children. These are portable cots designed in such a way that they can be folded easily and stored in wardrobes, under my own bed, in a car, in a garage or in the attic. It"s very easy to move them from one place to another, they"re very light. A bed like that consists of an aluminium frame and a mesh covering that can be taken off the frame and machine washed. It"s very easy to keep it clean and hygienic. Such cot beds are also perfect if you spend time in the garden or go on a trip. If your child needs a nap, you just unfold the bed. When it"s time to go home, you fold the bed, put it in the case (such beds are usually available with special cases) and pack it into the car. It"s very easy and extremely practical. I think it"s a fantastic invention for families who often have people round or like travelling a lot.
