  "question": "Which travel cot can be set up quickly and folded up again quickly?",
  "answer": "Chicco Dash Instant Setup Playard: The playard opens instantly with a single push on the center hub. The playard closes instantly with a one-hand pull on the center tab. The owner's manual says this product requires adult assembly, differing from the maker page statement that no assembly is required.\n\nBugaboo Stardust Playard: Very easy to open and collapse in one swift move; it collapses flat and needs no assembly apart from adding the feet. A video review reports super-easy setup and fold, easy car and hotel-room fit, and a baby sleeping well on a getaway; the reviewer would recommend it.\n\nVeer Basecamp: It arrives fully assembled, pops open in one motion with one hand and collapses by squeezing the two top yellow bars with both hands; no tools are specified.",
