Hi there

Yes us!

We bought it in August this year for our bub who is now 11 months old...Its a fantastic portable cot...so light, easy to put up and down and also great to travel with...Folds up to nothing...

We bought it to go to QLD in September and were thrilled with it!!!

It would be great for a playpen as well or even to take down to the beach...

We were choosing between this one and the Kinderkot. The Kinderkot is easier to put up but DD tried to stand up in that one and couldnt and she got upset

We have one as well!

It does take a little bit of time to put up but once you've done it a few times it's easy peasy. It takes about 5 minutes. And you really have to sit on the mattress to squash it enough to fit back in the bag. My only negative about it is that now that Xavier is getting bigger and heavier it's a bit tricky to put him in it when he's asleep because I have to lower him down so much. I imagine all portacots are the same though. It would be great with a side opening as well as the top.

It's so small and portable. I was at the airport the other day looking at people taking their portacots of the luggage carousel. They are not only huge but they are heavy. We put the T2 inside a suitcase!

The Choice magazine review of it was very favourable safety wise. The only thing they said was wrong with it was that there is a hanging pocket on the inside that a child could use as leverage to try and climb out. We have no need for the pocket so I'm going to cut it off before Xavier can stand up.

I love that it can be used outside as a play tent with UV protection as well!

I bought ours from a NZ website for about $180AUD delivered to Melbourne. That was a lot cheaper than the $250+ that lots of shops are asking.

Hope this helps. Jo
