The best thing any new mother can buy |

|
It is my belief that the best thing any new mother can buy and it saves a lot of headache is a 3 in 1 portacot
I use my one at home and when traveling... I did not buy another cot...
A 3 in 1 portacot has 2
levels top level is a bassinet for newborns (this helps save your back from bending too far all the time!) and when they get bigger you can drop it down so no chance of climbing out...
It also comes with a baby change table that i hang of the side and slide it on when bubs needs a nappy change (i find this saves me a lot of trouble and fuss expecialy in the middle of the night...
The side are soft as ther is no wooden bars purely mesh allowing air to get in but bubs cant get their fingers legs or arms stuck and they if they hit their head on the sides it wont hurt infact they dont even realise they have done so and just keep sleeping!!!
And best of all you can pack it up and take it with you when traveling...
My friends child who is older than mine uses hers as a play pen now that she has converted over to a real bed... So you will get a lot of use out of it...
Finally mine only cost me $100 second hand but you can pick them up brand new around $250... this means they are reasonably cheap too as far as beds go....
So my advice is check it out for yourself compare all the pros and cons check out the cost of other cots and make the decision for yourself but i believe once you see and try a portacot for your child you will never go back....
