Hi, I'm looking into buying cots for my dayhome but it seems like all the sites are from the US and the shipping would kill me. Please tell me there's a canadian place I can get cots that won't cost so much to ship. I'm looking at the Angeles Value Line cots right now. Anybody have experience with those?

I got mine on ebay, I think I paid about $200 CDN for 6 cots, shipping and 12 sheets for the cots.

Not sure how close you are to Scholars Choice in Alberta but they sell them and depending on the distance you could drive to save shipping costs.

Amazon .ca has these cots: Regalo Baby 5001 My Cot Portable Bed (Royal Blue). They are around $40. I am looking into getting them. They have several other types as well.

Are you in the Edmonton area? Right now in the Edmonton Dayhome Providers FB group they are doing a group purchase of 2" thick sleep mats. If you are in the Edmonton area I can add you to the group and you can get in on the group order.

Babies R Us has cots. They have locations all over Canada, as far as I know.

You can order right off the babiesrus.ca website. That's where I purchased mine. I love it!
I am not sure if they are still available, but it's worth checking out!

I have the mats from Scholars Choice ~ the link above from Reggio. I also bought the sheets that go over them. They are AWESOME
-dont take up a lot of room
-clean sheet every nap time
-wipe clean easy

A friend who also runs a daycare has the cots that click together and loves them too. All preference I guess. I also have the sleep mats on rubber mats so they aren't on the floor and my kiddies are never cold- even in winter

I had them e-mail me when they were available. they ended up being available the very next day. I bought one right away. I should have bought at least 2 of them. I love mine! It is EXTREMELY easy to fold and unfold.

Maybe a silly question on the cots that stack but how stiff are they once stacked as in there is nothing more annoying than having a stack of bins and having to shake them to get them apart - in other words wasting time trying to set up the nap space.
