Hi all,

We are needing a much lighter-weight portacot for frequent traveling and have heard of two styles, one flip-out tent-style with self-inflating mattress by Kinderkot, apparently good for up to 4yrs old, and the Phil and Teds which has an aluminium frame you set up around a tent-like exterior.

Just curious what people's experiences have been for these types of cots (and what age baby you're using it for) - we have a 14 month old who is very active moving about his cot when getting to sleep, and usually sits or stands up in his cot when he's awake, which makes me wonder if the kindercot might not be any good - BUT the kinderkot looks a lot lighter and smaller-folding than the phil and teds.

Another thing I was wondering about the kindercot is, would it be hot as the mattress is on the floor rather than raised; and also could it tip over if the toddler were to roll around inside or push against the side?

Thanks for any advice you may have!
