    Posted: 11 August 2009 at 1:44pm
I have a Love n Care portacot, just bought second hand. Had no problems making it up but now that it's time to take it down I'm stuck!
It's just the top bars that won't collapse. It feels like there's something in the middle of them that needs to be pushed or pulled or something to make them fold. The bottom half is easy.
Any advice?

Yup try and find a button in the middle of the top rails that needs to be pushed/pulled, I've used 2 different cots and one had a button on the side of the latch in the middle the other had the button underneath.

I had the same prob when I first got ours.... we have to pull the base up so it not down completely flat or the sides won't collapse when you press the button things...

Yeah there's probably a button in the middle on the underside of each of the sides.

Also if it's like ours it needs the base up a bit (as per above post) or the sides won't unlock.

Portacots are a pain in the bum, I usually get someone to give me a hand if it jams or I can't get it up.
