A foldable cot comprising:
- a bottom portion and a stretchable side wall extending from the bottom portion upwardly to an upper edge of the side wall,
- further comprising a frame movable from a folded state wherein the upper edge of the side wall is close to the bottom portion, and an unfolded state wherein the side wall is stretched such that the upper edge of the side wall is remote from the bottom portion, the frame including a side wall frame element and a frame arm extending along the side wall of the foldable cot, the frame arm being pivotably attached to the side wall frame element and having a bottom end that exerts, in the unfolded state, a force on the bottom portion of the cot, away from the side wall frame element,
- the foldable cot also comprising an adapter mounted to the side wall frame element for connecting the foldable cot to a bearing frame of a buggy, the adapter having a rotatable element that is rotatably attached to the side wall frame element, the adapter further having connecting means fixedly attached to the rotatable element for connecting to a portion of said bearing frame of a buggy, the adapter also having an engaging element fixedly attached to the rotatable element and extending from the side wall beyond the frame arm such that upon pivoting the bottom end of the frame arm towards the bottom portion so as to bring the frame in the unfolded state, the frame arm engages the engaging element inducing the rotatable element and the connecting means to swivel relative to the side wall frame element of the frame.
