Because DH and I go to our beach house every second weekend, we are no doubt going to have to buy a port-a-cot.

He wants to get out of buying a cot and just use the port-a-cot full time.... But I would really like to have a proper cot at our house we are in 80% of the time. Aside from the fact of "it'll be much nicer in the baby's room" - but I'm thinking of my back (having to bend over so far every time) - as well as the question "are they really designed to be used full time? Are they built to handle every day use for prolonged periods of time?"

Cots are so expensive
