We only use our KinderKot when we are travelling or away from home and it states it can be used up to 5 years old. ]]> Fri, 06 Aug 2010 23:42:45 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34497&PID=1120474&title=portacots#1120474 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34497&PID=1120060&title=portacots#1120060 Author: KathL

Wow $30!! Bargain!!

I would highly recommend getting a secondhand one off trade me. There are plenty listed, most in great condition and the going price seems to be $30-60. I got my Kingston on there for $30, good deal I thought!]]> Tue, 06 Jul 2010 13:42:31 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34497&PID=1089161&title=portacots#1089161 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34497&PID=1088160&title=portacots#1088160 Author: High9

Yeah I just saw the P&T one and went NOPE! Had a look at the kingston Royale 3 in 1 but then ran into a family member who said we can have hers as next time her grandkid comes over he'll be in a big bed so score!

Thanks everyone!]]> Mon, 05 Jul 2010 16:23:36 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34497&PID=1088160&title=portacots#1088160 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34497&PID=1088051&title=portacots#1088051 Author: JoJames

I probably wouldn't get the P & T one, we did and it is brilliant as it is lightweight and great for travelling, (we took ours to the US), but it is fiddly at the beginning to get up and down, the mattress touches the ground and is quite thin and you can't tuck sheets or blankets in. if you are just going from one place to another in a car and have a reasonable amount of room, then the more classic portacots are easier and more comfortable.]]> Mon, 05 Jul 2010 15:09:19 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34497&PID=1088051&title=portacots#1088051 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34497&PID=1087851&title=portacots#1087851 Author: E&L+1

Cool thanks for that, I have seen the kingston ones at BF and did quite like them, going to go get a portacot bout lunch time... Still tossing up between a kingston one and the P&T one.

Also couldn't find any second hand baby stores, but might check out the Sallies while out jic. ]]> Mon, 05 Jul 2010 10:02:24 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34497&PID=1087550&title=portacots#1087550 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34497&PID=1087526&title=portacots#1087526 Author: SpecialK

We have the kingston from baby factory - the one with a bassinet attachment. No issues with it at all.

Yeah it is pretty much. Except the P&T has poles, Kinderkot doesnt, and the base isnt supposed to touch the ground, but would once baby is in it.

I hope you get it sorted by then ]]> Sun, 04 Jul 2010 23:13:50 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34497&PID=1087314&title=portacots#1087314 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34497&PID=1087310&title=portacots#1087310 Author: High9

I am going away unexpectedly for 3 nights (min) and need a portacot for my 4.5mo dd.

Recommend me yours? And also how much did you pay?

I've seen most are about $200.]]> Sun, 04 Jul 2010 22:05:57 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34497&PID=1087268&title=portacots#1087268
