Bad points
Minor safety failure: Finger entrapment hazards at one end of the mattress. Minor safety failure: Mattress can separate from its position when used in bassinet mode. Very minor safety failure: There are finger pinching points at the corners where the top rails are joined that are a hazard to the person folding/unfolding the cot.
Serious safety failure: When the mattress is in the lower (cot) and upper (bassinet) positions and the dropside is down, the mattress is not deep enough and could pose a fall risk. Serious safety failure: In lower (cot) and upper (bassinet) positions, the cot doesn't have adequate mesh breathable zones at one and and both ends respectively, creating a suffocation risk if a child rolls face first against it. Serious safety failure: The mattress is not firm enough, creating a possible suffocation risk if a child rolls onto their side or front. Serious safety failure: There is a neck entrapment risk at the top ends of the cot if the locking mechanism fails and the cot collapses inwards. Serious safety failure: The change table does not have barriers that comply with standard requirements, which is a fall risk. Serious safety failure: Head and limb entrapment hazards at the large openings between the edge of the change table corners and the adjacent top rails of the cot corners, and at the gaps between the top edges of the upper (bassinet) corners and adjacent cot corners. Minor safety failure: One side of the cot can be partially disassembled by opening a zipper— there is concern that a child may be able to open them and get out of the cot, or any resulting opening may pose a head/neck entrapment hazard. Very minor safety failure: There are pinching points that pose an injury to the person folding and unfolding the cot, at the corners where the top rails are joined. We were concerned by the number of failures and have given this portable cot a performance score of zero. Can be used as a bedside sleeper, though it was not tested as currently there is no safety standard available in Australia for such a product. However given the amount of failures present on the product, we are not confident with its safety. After being alerted to our findings, Vevor said: "We dealt with this product as soon as possible and it is no longer for sale." However, while we have seen it unavailable on several online stores, some stock still seems to be available online as of February 2025. CHOICE urges consumers to avoid this product.

Nothing in particular.
Serious safety failure: When the mattress is in the lower (cot) and upper (bassinet) positions and the dropside is down, the mattress is not deep enough and could pose a fall risk. Serious safety failure: Clothing can snag at the protruding upper part of the cot corners on the side that can be opened, when it is open; a strangulation risk. Serious safety failure: With no set position for the change table, there could be a situation where the large openings between the edge of the change table corners and the adjacent top rails of cot corners could be a neck entrapment risk. This could occur in both lower (cot) and upper (bassinet) positions. Very minor safety failure: There are pinching points that pose an injury to the person folding/unfolding the cot, at the corners where the top rails are joined.

Very minor safety failure: There are pinching points that pose an injury to the person folding/unfolding the cot, at the corners where the top rails are joined. Very hard to secure the mattress to the upper position, and very hard to release it, such as for packing up. In response to our findings, Baby Bunting says: "Baby Bunting disagrees with the findings and reviews of our private label portable cots by Choice. All our private label products are independently tested by reputable world class third party laboratories against both the ACCC mandatory standards and most current voluntary Australian or recognised international standards. All our products go through stringent lab and in house testing to ensure the utmost safety to our customers." CHOICE also operates an in-house accredited lab and stands by its results.
Very hard to set up and fold up the frame.
Serious safety failure: The mattress is not firm enough, creating a possible suffocation risk if a child rolls onto their side or front.

Serious safety failure: The mattress is not firm enough, creating a possible suffocation risk if a child rolls onto their side or front. Minor safety failure: One side can be partially disassembled by unzipping; a possible there is concern that a child may be able to get out of the cot.
Minor safety failure: The cot sides and ends can be partially disassembled by unzipping along the top rails; there is concern a child could get out of the cot.
Serious safety failure: The mattress is not firm enough, creating a possible suffocation risk if a child rolls onto their side or front. Minor safety failure: The mesh openings may trap a child's fingers. Minor safety failure: Certain sections of the cot can be partially or almost fully disassembled by opening a combination of zippers; there is concern that a child may be able to open them and get out of the cot, or any resulting opening may pose a head/neck entrapment hazard.
Serious safety failure: The cot doesn't have adequate mesh breathable zones creating a suffocation risk if a child rolls face first against it. Serious safety failure: The mattress is not firm enough, creating a possible suffocation risk if a child rolls onto their side or front. Minor safety failure: The cot's wheels have no brakes and roll too easily, meaning the cot can be pushed around too easily (such as by another child). Minor safety failure: There is no safety harness on the change table. Minor safety failure: The gaps between the bassinet and the cot could potentially trap a child's limb. Minor safety failure: The mesh openings are too large and flexible, and may trap a child's fingers. Hard to pack because of so many items, even though the bag is spacious. It also feels very heavy and bulky.
Minor safety failure: Cot sides and ends can be partially disassembled by unzipping along the top rails. There is concern that a child may be able to open the zipper and any resulting opening may pose a head/neck entrapment hazard.
Very minor safety failure: There are pinching points at the corners where the top rails are joined that are a hazard to the person folding/unfolding the cot. Heavy.
Serious safety failure: The mattress does not neatly fit the base, creating gaps that could potentially trap the head and cause suffocation. Serious safety failure: The mattress is not firm enough creating a possible suffocation risk if a child rolls onto their side or front. Serious safety failure: The base has significant gaps, making it uneven and not flat enough to be a safe sleeping surface. Very minor safety failure: There are pinching points at the corners where the top rails are joined that are a hazard to the person folding/unfolding the cot.
Nothing in particular.
Serious safety failure: The mattress is not sufficiently firm, creating a possible suffocation risk if a child rolls onto their side or front. Very minor safety failure: There are pinching points at the corners where the top rails are joined that are a hazard to the person folding/unfolding the cot. Note: Baby Bunting disagrees with our findings and provided us with a test report from an accredited lab indicating compliance to mandatory and voluntary standards. It says it is confident that the cot conforms to the applicable requirements. CHOICE also operates an in-house accredited lab and stands by its results.

In response to our findings, CNP Brands sent us a third party test report showing the product passes safety standards, saying "we have been selling this item through major retailers for over 24 months, and they have conducted thorough inspections of their stock without raising any of the concerns mentioned in the report. Furthermore we have not received any safety concerns from either the QA teams of the retailers or from end customers". It believes CHOICE did not assemble the cot correctly; CHOICE also operates an in-house accredited lab and stands by its results.
Serious safety failure: In the upper position (bassinet mode), the cot doesn't have adequate mesh breathable zones at one end, creating a suffocation risk if a child rolls face first against it. Serious safety failure: The mattress is not firm enough in the upper position (bassinet mode), creating a possible suffocation risk if a child rolls onto their side or front. Serious safety failure: The change table accessory has no harness and the sides are also not angled steeply enough to minimise the risk of rolling off. Very minor safety failure: There are pinching points that pose an injury to the person folding/unfolding the cot, at the corners where the top rails are joined. Heavy.

Very minor safety failure: There are pinching points that pose an injury to the person folding/unfolding the cot, at the corners where the top rails are joined. Very hard to secure the mattress to the upper position, and very hard to release it, such as for packing up. In response to our findings, manufacturer Roger Armstrong says the portacot is the same as the currently-recommended Roger Armstrong 3 in 1 Portacot RA2228 (that CHOICE tested in 2021 from a 2020 batch) apart from the fabric colour and "has never changed design or manufacturing techniques in any way in past 7 years". It says it "disputes [CHOICE's] findings completely. This portacot meets all standards always and has passed every single test (mattress firmness was tested in accordance with AS/NZS 8811.1:2013)". CHOICE stands by its results on the model we tested, which was from a 2023 batch.
Serious safety failure: The mattress is not firm enough in both upper and lower positions, creating a possible suffocation risk if a child rolls onto their side or front. Minor safety failure: Finger entrapment hazard in the openings on the four rectangular rings used for securing the bassinet mattress. Very hard, very awkward and fiddly to secure the mattress to the base of the cot and bassinet. Flimsy build, with sides, ends, top rails and base deforming and flexing a lot.
Heavy. Very hard to secure the mattress to the lower position.
Very minor safety failure: There are finger pinching points at the corners where the top rails are joined that are a hazard to the person folding/unfolding the cot.
