It folds down in a similar way as a folding camp chair, and the middle joints snap together quickly and easily.

It also has a broad foot at the bottom of each leg that can be swiveled to adjust to uneven ground. It's also reasonably priced and is available with or without a bed mattress.
The Coleman ComfortSmart is an excellent choice for car campers. However, it's probably not the best infant cribs choice for backpackers or hikers in the backcountry. It's too heavy for long distances. This is the reason it's best suited for those who drive to their campsites.

Helinox Light Cot
Helinox Cot One Convertible combines high-end engineered fabric with non-stretch technology to make an ultra-lightweight camp bed that is comfortable and durable. The patented tensioners provide great tension on the bed surface without adding additional weight. The tensioners also stop the cot's surface from flattening out when it is placed on uneven terrain. The only downside to this model is its higher price point.
If you're a backpacker on limited funds, there are other affordable Cot options available. For example the OEX Ultralite Folding Cot costs less than half as much than the Helinox Lite Cot but is significantly heavier. The major drawback of the OEX is that it's not as straightforward to put together and it can be difficult for small cot beds-framed people to bend its five aluminium leg assemblies into place.
Helinox Lite Cots feature a unique tensioning system with an adjustable lever lock that makes them easier to assemble and disassemble. The lever is situated on the side of each leg. It is a pivoting arm that engages the top frame bar. The other end of the lever has a compressed tab that is pressed to release it. This mechanism uses mechanical leverage to provide immense tension to the bed, without adding bulk or strain to the legs.
The Lite Cot can also be adjusted to a different height by using the leg extensions provided. This is especially beneficial if you are camping in an alpine location where you might require an elevated position due to snow or uneven terrain. The low profile of the cot can be not ideal for people who move around a lot during their sleep or have to share a bed with someone else.
The Lite Cot is not any different. It takes some practice to install it and then remove it from its place. After a few times it's easy to use and pack up. It is also incredibly lightweight and compact for a cot, and fits in the majority of vans and cars, with their gear. This makes it an excellent option for bike and car camping.

This means that all you have to do is spread the cot, then tighten the straps. We found that it was one of the most simple cots to set up and set up, though its size may make it difficult to fit in some tents.
