Travel cots

Hi,
Anyone know if they are ok for everyday use.

Im returning to work on Monday and MIL will look after DD. Ive got a travel cot that I was going to give her for naps etc. Ive looked in the booklet but I cant find if they are ok to use everyday or if they are only for occasional use.

TIA

I have a travel cot at my mums and DD sleeps in it 3 days a week and is fine in it. I put in a bit more padding on the bottom (underneath the sheet)because the mattress doesn't feel very soft, like the proper cot she has.

Ds slept in the bassinette part of his travel cot for the first 3 months of his life
Just put a blanket under the sheet to make it softer

my DS is at my mother's four days a week and i have his travel cot there for him to sleep in, just put his cot duvet under his bottom sheet for extra padding.

my 12 week ds has always slept in a travel cot, and will be using it till he's 18 months old! (when we return to the UK)
The lady in the shop who sold it to us said it was fine for every day use.
