I was looking at the P&T one, liked how it was all zipped up but what I didn't like was the fact that it was virtually about 2cm above the ground so went for something that had a bigger gap iygwim. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

The kinder cot will last you a lot longer - our 4yo can still sleep in it. the Phil & Ted is quite small for a port a cot. We have a bigger port a cot and out 2y9m old is too big for it. -------------

We only use our Phil and Ted's as a portable playpen really. It's too low to the ground and can be quite cold because of this. -------------

We have the Kinderkot and love it. Its easy/great to travel with and Jackson sleeps in it no problem.
I highly recommend it

We have the P&T and love it. Its easy to put up and DS (17mth) happily sleeps in it. My nephew 3 also happily sleeps in it when he visits.
We have never had a problem with the cold, I made a sheet to go over the mattress (we keep it on the inside) and DS has a sleeping bag. I like that its quite sturdy for those times DS is not so sweet and shakes it for attention

Love our P&T. I just fold up a blanket and lay it under a sheet for a bit of extra warmth but it's never been much of an issue. My 3 year old still sleeps in it occasionally and it's plenty big enough. Though to be honest once they are sleeping in a bed you don't need a portacot. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I see that The Sleepstore have $20 off the Kindercot one - am very tempted to get one. A friend of mine has one and loves it. ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

We have the P&T one, we love it! Got it off Trademe. We also put a blanket under the sheet for extra padding and have never found it to be cold. -------------

We have the P&T and love it. We took it overseas and it fit in our luggage and wasn't too heavy. We also put a blanket down under a sheet and DD slept in her go-go bag. It folds up and down easily and fits in smaller spaces. ------------- http://lilypie.com">
