Hi all,

In working at a baby retail store, we dont recommend that travel/porta cots are used for long term use due to mattress and stability for want of a better word, it is apparently not recommended as its not great for chuildrens backs over a long period of time. I personally would buy or borrow another cot rather than use a portacot for more than a few weeks, unless on holidays etc... You can buy matresses that fit in them from baby stpres for arouns $35, but again, they aren't as good as a spring mat, or foam either...

As far as bassinettes go, the pram ones are recomended by Valco and Bugaboo, but nor steelcraft, so I guss thats ones personal choice.

HTH
