Learn to fold the Hauck Sleep N Easyfold Travel Cot in a few easy steps. Avoid common mistakes and pack it away quickly for travel or storage.
Quick answer
To fold the Hauck Sleep N Easyfold Travel Cot, you lift the centre locking mechanism, fold the sides inward, then collapse the frame flat. The whole process takes less than a minute once you know the sequence.
Before you start
Make sure the cot is empty and the mattress is removed. Check that the locking mechanism at the base of the cot is fully released before attempting to fold. If you force the frame while it is still locked, you risk damaging the folding joints.
Step-by-step folding instructions
- 1. Release the locking mechanism: Locate the locking button or pull-tab at the centre of the cot base. Press or pull it to unlock the frame. The cot will begin to collapse slightly once unlocked. Common mistake: trying to fold without releasing the lock first. This can strain the frame.
- 2. Fold the sides inward: Grasp the top rails on both long sides and push them toward the centre. The cot should fold in on itself like a book. If it resists, double-check that the lock is fully released. Checkpoint: both side rails should move freely and meet in the middle without force.
- 3. Collapse the frame flat: Once the sides are together, press the top of the frame down toward the base. The legs will fold under. The cot should now be a flat, compact rectangle. If the frame does not lie flat, one of the side locks may still be engaged. Repeat step 1.
- 4. Secure and pack away: Use the built-in carry strap or the included transport case to secure the folded cot. The two built-in wheels make it easy to move even when packed. Tip: store the mattress on top of the folded cot inside the case to keep everything together.
