what parents are saying
Love this! Use I it weekly for naps and nighttime at his grandparents' house. Folds up into a lightweight backpack for travel. The crib sheet is a little bit annoying to attach but no big deal! (Apr 19, 2016)

This super lightweight, easy-to-set-up (just 15 seconds!) travel crib actually folds small enough to fit in the overhead compartment of an airplane, and it’s got backpack straps so you can tote it wherever you go. It converts to a rocking bassinet so perfect for at-home use from the earliest days, and it’s side-zip means it also can be used as a play area for an older toddler.
The Catch: Parents complained about the excessive amount of velcro tabs needed to secure the mattress.

Light and super portable. Also great for short people since it sits on the ground (less distance to lay baby down) AND the side zips open. Sep 21, 2017

Hands down our FAVORITE baby item. So easy to use. The mattress on the ground and the zippered door are game changers. We bring it on trips, to the beach, pool, everywhere. I'd choose it over a crib. Jul 11, 2017

I like this a lot, but once baby is out of the lotus bassinet it is difficult to put him all the way on the ground in this. It will be great when he is older, but I got the Nuna for travel now. Jul 29, 2014

Everyone-
Q: I would like to be able to move this between rooms and also between floors of the house. Will it fit through doorways? Thank you!
asked by Nina D. - Mar 19, 2014

It might take some maneuvering. The good thing is it's really light, but the mattress takes a little time to Velcro to the base, which you wouldn't want to have to do often. I would suggest checking the measurements against your doors to be sure.
Roslyn L. - Mar 19, 2014

Yes, absolutely. It folds in seconds and is very light weight!
