Haven't read the other posts and don't have an AC monitor but we recently went away and we didn't use the movement part just the sound part, are you comfortable with just having the sound part? Imo I wouldn't be comfortable with the cord part.

yep watch that cord for an older baby.. there is no where for it to go underneath so it had to loop over the side..

DS was only 4 months old when we used it so not too mobile

We have used ours in a portable cot too. It works well. We use an additional mattress in the portable cot since the standard base isn't that soft! This meant we could put the sensor between the standard base and our mattress. Our cot has a zip to create a little door out of the cot which was handy for the cord to be put through.]]> Tue, 20 Jul 2010 19:48:31 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34801&PID=1104425&title=using-angelcare-in-portacots#1104425 <![CDATA[using angelcare in portacots? : We have used ours in a portacot...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34801&PID=1103475&title=using-angelcare-in-portacots#1103475 Author: lilfatty

We have used ours in a portacot .. we just flipped the padded base the other way round as we put a mattress on top of it anyway.]]> Tue, 20 Jul 2010 08:53:05 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34801&PID=1103475&title=using-angelcare-in-portacots#1103475 <![CDATA[using angelcare in portacots? : Oh good question...good to know...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34801&PID=1103360&title=using-angelcare-in-portacots#1103360 Author: Nutella

Yep we've used ours many times in a portacot successfully. With regards to what kakapo said, we ran the wires through the holes in the bottom where the mattress velcros onto the base (not sure if all portacots have this though?). ]]> Mon, 19 Jul 2010 22:35:49 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34801&PID=1103328&title=using-angelcare-in-portacots#1103328 <![CDATA[using angelcare in portacots? : Yep, used ours in a portacot a...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34801&PID=1103234&title=using-angelcare-in-portacots#1103234 Author: kakapo

Yep, used ours in a portacot a few weeks ago - just put a bit of cardboard underneath the pad and it worked fine.  The cord had to run up the side of the cot though, as there were no gaps for it to go through the base.  Could be an issue with an older baby who moves around the cot?

I haven't used it in a portacot but I think (as the instructions say) if you have a flat base for the pads to sit on then it shouldn't be a problem. The normal portacot base wouldn't be flat and solid enough for the pads to work properly. If you have a couple of thin boards to put on the base before you put the mattress down then it should work okay.]]> Mon, 19 Jul 2010 21:17:50 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34801&PID=1103228&title=using-angelcare-in-portacots#1103228 <![CDATA[using angelcare in portacots? : We are going to be staying with...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34801&PID=1103175&title=using-angelcare-in-portacots#1103175 Author: squoggs

We are going to be staying with friends who are lending us a portacot for our baby while we are there. I was wondering if I could take my AC monitor and use it in a portacot...have any of you done this?
