It is possible to lower the side panel by it's own, however this is not advised, since it increases the likelihood that your child will get out of the cot.

It's small enough to be able to fit into its travel bag when not in use, which is an advantage when you have to transport it. The only drawback our testers found was that the side panel did not flex as much as some of the other models, making it difficult to observe your child from your bed.
