Travel Centre FAQ’s

Q: I’m having trouble folding the tent away, can you help?

A: Yes, there is a knack to it, just watch the short video for a full run through of how best to assemble and pack away your travel centre http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ywaIN0m2O4E .

Q: How do I secure the travel centre on a windy beach?

A: Tent pegs are supplied which will keep your travel centre securely in place – remember to pack them in your luggage & NOT to fly with them in hand luggage as they will be confiscated.

Q: Can I buy a replacement mattress?

A: Yes, they are available directly from us simply call to discuss or order here.

Q: To what age can I use the travel centre?

A: For our standard travel centre we recommend sleeping in the tent up to approximately 2 years but your child will happily use it for activities until they are at least 5years old. For the Deluxe version, we recommend sleeping in the tent up to c.5 years but children can still use these tents until they are 8 years old or more, both versions make great camps for indoors and outdoors fun.

Q: What are the main uses for the travel centre?

A: Our travel centres have multi-uses, their main purpose is as a tent with UV protection for use at the beach, in the garden or local park; the mesh sides & windows offer protection from biting insects or mosquitos; they can be used as a simple, light travel cot for home or away with family or friends or it can be used as an activity centre.

Q: Where do I put the mattress to stop it sliding about?

A: The air mattress zips into a specifically designed pocket in the base (not inside the tent), so doesn’t slide about.

Q: How much space do I need to assemble the travel cot?

A: Not very much at all, but stand well clear of delicate ornaments and young children when opening – it really will pop-up / fly open, and it can make quite a loud noise when first opened http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ywaIN0m2O4E

Q: Can I wash the sleep mat?

A: Yes, the sleep mat is fully machine washable.  The Travel Centre itself and the self-inflating mattress should only be wiped clean with a damp cloth and should be fully air dried before folding / storing.
