Excellent value
Light weight, compact, very easy and quick to assemble and baby seems pretty happy in there. Was originally looking at the Baby Bjorn, but glad I found this one which appears very similar at a fraction on the cost.

Great travel cot
Light weight, mattress good quality- comfortable but firm, sturdy frame. Overall better quality than I was expecting for the price. Easy to assemble and disassemble. Importantly, it looks to meet safety criteria.

Love it!
Great product and easy to assemble. Absolutely love the zip function as it makes taking my baby in and out of the cot so much easier than having to lean over the top. Great value too

Love love love the Star Kidz Amico Portacot
After searching high and low to find a porta cot that meets aus/nz safety standards I finally came across Nanny Annie's site stocking the Star Kidz Amico Portacot. Not only was I super impressed with how compact the packaging is, everything about this cot screams safety and luxury. Its so easy to put together and disassemble, the matters is soft, no bulky frame and the sheet safely fastens to the cot. I use it regularly and never dread the set up or pack up process. Highly recommend purchasing it if you want an easy, safe, reliable porta cot

4/5 Would Recommend and Purchase Again
After borrowing someone elses Baby Bjorn portacot for a little while, I needed to buy my own. I did so much research on my options, read so many reviews and watched so many demos before I purchased the 2022 Amico Travelcot with side zip from Nanny Annie for $149 on 3 March 2022 (https://www.nanny-annie.com/amico-light-travel-cot-black). I was pretty excited about it because I wanted one as easy as the Baby Bjorn but I also wanted one with a side zip like the Phil and Teds. I also didn't want to fork out $200-400. The Star Kidz Amico Portacot is...Read more
the only portacot other than Phil and Teds which I found with a side zipper (which I really need for my son who always wakes up when put in from the top). Positives: 1. Easy to set up and pack away, you just unfold and click the legs on/off (it's a lot quicker than Phil and Teds which is why I chose this one instead) 2. The mattress has safety velcro straps at the bottom which prevent it from moving out of place (a feature I didn't find on any other portacot) 3. Comes with a carry bag and it's easy to put everything back in (compared with the Baby Bjorn which is sometimes a little struggle to fit everything back in the bag) 4. Light to carry (It's heavier than Phil and Teds but lighter compared to the Baby Bjorn which I found to be a little heavy to carry if you're also carrying bub and some other bags) 5. The cot has a side zip opening with 2 zippers (this is the only portacot I have been able to get my 1 year old son to sleep in, also good for my back) 6. Comes with a proper mattress (comfortable, not thin and stiff like the more affordable ones, not inflatable like Phil and Teds) 7. Good qualityPurchased in March 2021 at Nanny Annie for $149.00.

Convenient and simple to use
I spent a lot of time researching porta cot options, and finally after going backwards and forwards with complete uncertainty, I settled on the Amico option. I was drawn to the price point (seemed like great value for money) and the simplicity of design with the carry bag. It arrived within 3 days of ordering, and I found it to be super easy to set up and pack away (my two year old niece helped me pack away!) and it stores nicely in our boot along with our pram and other baby essentials.

Incredible Value
I was looking for a portacot for my toddler and came across one from baby bjorn, I was about to buy for $300 and then a friend from my mother group tagged me on facebook about Amico poracot sold by Nanny Annie. I found it very similar to the baby bjorn one at only 1/3rd of the price. After ordering online, the product arrived in 2 days and I was delighted to see the quality and found the construction to be sturdy. Overall very satisfied customer.

Questions & Answers
Pete_Repeatasked
So after reading the choice report on portacots, I'm assuming the mattress is likely of question for safety and suffocation. Judging by one review saying it's "NOT thin and stiff like some of the more expensive ones", I suspect they have made it soft for comfort rather than safety. Also I suspect putting things under it to make it flat will also increase the chance of suffocation.

The Star Kidz Amico mattress is a foam mattress with a thickness of 4.5cm, so it's a soft, comfy and yet sturdy mattress. It also has a board back support included at the bottom of the mattress.
The mattress is equipped with velcro straps to secure it to four bottom corners of the Portacot, making Amico travel cot a safe sleeping solution. We always recommend to position the Portacot on a flat surface and use the provided mattress provided for safety reasons.
So does the mattress meet AS/NZS 2195:2010. Specifically the 2010 version, not the 1999 version.
It seems it does. Do you have any comments on the choice report which showed a lot of concerns with nearly all these portacots? This has raised concerns for me. Happy to do that via email if you prefer.
