Love our porta cot. We used it for DD1 instead of a bassinette. We just put her in a snuggle bed in the porta cot. Tip: Don't get a porta cot that has heaps of extras...they are too hard to put up when travelling. If the mattress provided is not thick enough just buy some foam for extra comfort.

Other things I could not do without: My Hugga Bub sling and portable rocker!!!
