Let's be real: sharing a room with your tot when you're traveling can be full of logistical challenges... and sleep deprivation! No matter where you park the pack n' play, he can still see you. (Quietly hiding in a corner of the room usually makes both of you cry!) And getting creative by turning the bathroom into a tiny bedroom never works as planned. Now, all of you can get some well deserved R&R when traveling with SlumberPod. This pod-style structure easily slips over a standard sized travel crib or playard, providing a private, and dark place to sleep. Made of breathable fabric and ventilation windows, your child will have a safe, comfortable snooze environment. And you don't have to army crawl or hide. It's a win-win. Created by a mother-daughter duo (after some sleepless night's at grandma's house), it passes all applicable juvenile product safety tests. SlumberPod is also compatible with some cots and small blowup mattresses, so you can use it beyond the baby phase. Thanks to the quality snoozes your baby gets from SlumberPod, you may not even need a vacation from your vacation.

  • Our little guy still took a few days to adjust to sleeping on vacation with or without the sleeping pod. Feb 27, 2024

  • My most used product! Its the item I didnt know I needed. I used it as my baby was in my room aware of movement. Its a life saver when we travel. She remains a great sleeper because of this! Feb 24, 2024

  • At first I was like why do I need a tent! I’m a mother that travels with my children. With my first I sat in the dark in my hotel when he went to bed at 7pm now I can get work done after 7pm. Feb 11, 2024

  • A travel must! So nice to have for hotel rooms so baby can sleep better! Feb 08, 2024

  • I bought this and then returned. My daughter is an easy sleep. So for us, this wasn’t necessary when we traveled. Friends who have troubled sleepers love this for travel Jan 07, 2024

    100/10. So great to create a separate space for baby when traveling if sharing a room or when grandma doesn’t have blackout shades for that nap :) Dec 20, 2023

    Our favorite travel accessory! Truly blocks all light and doens't get too hot. Dec 19, 2023

    I was skeptical of this at first given the price point but after a tough vacation trip where no one got sleep, i finally got one and now I understand why people rave about it! Invest in your sleep! Oct 28, 2023

    The SlumberPod Privacy Pod offers a peaceful, private space for my little one to sleep or play, and it's incredibly convenient. However, the high price tag is hard to ignore. Still, worth it! Oct 08, 2023

    Was key for traveling when my son was young. He would sleep with all the lights on in the hotel room. Once he hit about a year and a half he refused to sleep in it though. Sep 23, 2023

  • A MUST HAVE for traveling parents. We've been using ours for 5 years and it's the best! Sep 21, 2023

  • Easy to assemble and is truly blackout Sep 17, 2023

  • A necessity for travel! Our child uses a sound machine and we are able to room share without disturbing the baby's (and our) sleep! I cannot recommend this enough. Aug 27, 2023

  • The SlumberPod is a family vacation game changer! My husband were able to stay up with the lights on after our baby went to bed. Fits over pack and plays and travel cribs. Must have for travelers. Aug 24, 2023

    • Alisha K.
    • Palm beach gardens , Florida

    Love everything about this! Small and compact for easy travel packing. Quick and easy to assemble. Great it has a fan for air flow and somewhere for a camera. Used this dozens of times! Aug 18, 2023

  • This is excellent to use when traveling for the kiddo who needs a very dark sleep space. The pod does get pretty hot when fully zipped so once my son was asleep I would unzip the window for airflow. Aug 11, 2023

  • I cant say enough how much this is a MUST HAVE for vacations! Perfect for room sharing! Easy install Aug 02, 2023

  • #LIFESAVER on vacation when both kids are used to dark and cool rooms but there isn't an extra bedroom. Breathable and has option for fan placement too. Easy to set up! Aug 02, 2023

    • Molly V.
    • Raleigh, North Carolina

    Absolutely a must have for a baby!! I wish I had two--one to keep and one to rent out, because someone is always asking to use it! No other travel sleep product is better. I promise! Jul 24, 2023

  • a must if sharing a room with your baby on a trip, etc! monitor sleeve is a little hard to see through but we made do. nice to be able to use our room while baby is sleeping. Jul 07, 2023

  • Keeps light out for baby when sharing a room when traveling which was my primary goal so love it. Cons: It gets hot/has bad circulation. The door doesn't zip all the way down for packnplay side door. Jul 05, 2023

  • This is a game changer for travel. We actually use it for our sons room too so it was worth the $. It’s super breathable and has spot for fan & camera. Our little one loves it actually. Jun 29, 2023

  • We bring this with us to travel as it can be difficult and expensive to get a suite hotel. This allows us to sleep in the same room as our baby! Awesome travel product. Jun 27, 2023

  • I love how easy this is to set up, It takes only a few minutes and I am able to do it by myself. It is also small/compact which makes it easy to bring when we travel whether that is car or plane. Jun 02, 2023

  • This is the best! So easy to pop open, great for sleeping on the go if your little one is used to blackout, provides privacy if you share a room. I love the fan pocket as well May 29, 2023

  • If you're in hotels or visit friends/family a lot, this is worth it. While you still have to be quiet (this thing isn't magic!) in the room, it's great to have lights on and not stumble in the dark. May 16, 2023

  • Great blackout sleeping pod for travel! It truly makes it dark and allows our little one to sleep in a hotel room while we still have the lights on. There is a pocket for a baby camera. May 09, 2023

    • Sara W.
    • Nashville , Tennessee

    If you travel often this is 100% worth it. My husband and I can watch tv ( with sound machine on) in a hotel room while our kids sleep. Mar 06, 2023

  • If I had one must item of anything I own, it would be the slumberpod. If you ever plan to travel with your baby/toddler and will be sharing a room you NEED this with no exaggeration. Jan 13, 2023

  • A travel must have! The material keeps baby’s space nice and dark. There are several mesh panels that can be propped open to allow extra airflow without letting in extra light. Easy set up. Dec 21, 2022

  • This has saved us when we have to room share. Very easy to travel with too. Nov 06, 2022

  • Used for babies 1-3 years old! This thing is amazing! Blackout keeps babies sleeping longer on the go. Love how breathable and stretchy the material is for sleeping. Also love than you can add a fan! Sep 28, 2022

  • LOVE THIS for traveling. An absolute must. Add the fan. Aug 20, 2022

    One of my most recommended baby items. We vacationed twice with our light sleeper baby in our room and he slept like a dream! We will never vacation without it! Aug 08, 2022

  • My daughter got this for Xmas as a newborn and wow it’s a game changer!! Jun 29, 2022

  • This is a must have! We travel often and this is great - she sleeps just like she does at home. When we have to share a room, it cuts down on noise so we can still be in the room without being silent. Jun 24, 2022

  • Great way to keep sleeping environment similar to home. Also great ventilation & there is a place for your monitor Jun 22, 2022

  • A travel must! Easy to assemble and makes any room baby sleep friendly. Jun 02, 2022

  • We have used this a ton. We can have all the lights and tv on in the hotel room and our toddler will stay asleep. Easy to set up, totally worth it in my opinion. Mar 29, 2022

  • Great for hotels and when sharing a room with baby (quality material; darkening functionality), but it's a pain to get set up (need about 10'x10' of open space). Mar 20, 2022

  • This is one of the most amazing purchases! Packs down small for travel and allows baby to room share with up when we need, fell asleep the first time no problem! This slumber pot is magic! Mar 01, 2022

  • this is great, it helps so my daughter does not see us while in the room while traveling. hard to set up the first time but i am sure the next time will be easier. Jan 07, 2022

  • My baby seems to sleep better when we travel. We set it up, and we can still have lights on in the hotel room. Worth every penny. Warning: it’s not 100% blackout like I expected, but it works. Oct 16, 2021

  • We have this and it is a life saver for traveling! We don't have to cover windows anymore, it's super easy to put up, and I will recommend to anyone with babies traveling! Oct 09, 2021

    We love how completely dark it gets but it's pretty stuffy for the child. We also got the one with the fan but even then it didn't seem very airy Oct 06, 2021

  • Absolute must have when traveling. It is a genuine blackout tent. You literally can't see through it. Helps when your child needs the darkness to sleep. It really works. Sep 13, 2021

  • It’s literally a magic tent! My son sleeps so well when we travel. Perfect for room sharing in hotels or vacation homes. Aug 10, 2021

    • Bossier City, Louisiana

    If your baby usually sleeps in another room, and you’re traveling, you’ll need this! Great for when you have to roomshare, like in hotels! Gives them a blacked out sleeping space. Jun 15, 2021
