We bought ours in Bali at the clandys baby store in tuban, my husband paid about 85 aus dollars and it as the modt deluxe cot ive ever seen. I wanted to bring it home but he wouldnt let me with all the other luggage that a family or 5 has. It had bassinet, change station, cot, halo with mossie net and a little zip opening from the outside at one end which we left open during the day and my 17 month old crawled in and out and used the cot like a cubby(you could close it at night and he couldnt access zip as it was on the outside).
Anyway we arrived back in aus and my home travel cot broke, not happy, but at least we left it for a friend who has a baby and he had been sleeping with her, so hopefully she gets some sleep now.
Happy travelling
I certainly recommend a travel cot over a balinese cot after our baby fell out of the bali cot at 17 months and ended up in the BIMC. When we went when he was 4 months the balinese cots were fine as he wasnt moving around at all.
