MSNBC has an article on traveling to the Summer Olympics, taking place this year in Beijing China.  They give advice on getting tickets and finding a place to stay during the 2008 Olympic Games, especially if you are on a budget, but they don't mention the need to bring along a travel cot.

Without good travel cots, enjoying the Games could be damn near impossible.  We all know the military takes their military cots with them wherever they go, and that portable cots are a necessity for a good vacation.  Not bringing along a travel cot when going to China is just asking for trouble.

While we're on the subject, don't forget a camping cot if you plan on spending any time in China's less traveled regions, or the need for folding cots if you don't have enough room in your bag.  Sleeping cots can make your night a lot easier, but without a travel cot (or a bunch of travel cots for family trips), you won't be having any fun at all.
