what parents are saying
When we were traveling abroad this was a nice option because it was so portable, but definitely not as good as a pack and play and pricey for what it is. (Feb 10, 2017)

So the concept is super cool! But when its really hot outside instead of it keeping the kiddo cool it seems to make them much hotter and is for sure like a tent. Its cool, but not outstanding! Apr 21, 2023

Bought this for upcoming travel. Haven't used it just yet and hoping baby takes to it, but I love how lightweight it is. Easy to put into checked bag. May 31, 2022

My daughter doesn't like using it, but it is alright for travel. It's a bit bulkier than expected, but does fold down relatively easily. May 31, 2022
This is a great idea in theory- the quality is great & easy to use, however- not much use for it. Baby’s that would fit in it are generally not going to go in it long enough to make it worth it. Mar 30, 2022

We spend a lot of time at the beach and this was perfect to provide shade and a sandless retreat for the little one . Easy to set up and take down. Feb 02, 2022

I bought this for a vacation for my oldest when he was 8 months old. It was “safe” for him to sleep in and very portable but sleepwise he didn't sleep too well in it. Sep 11, 2021

The best travel bed! Both my kids love sleeping in this, it has lasted for 6 years with minimal wear and tear, in its very compact and a quick setup. Jun 26, 2021

We take this to the pool for our kids to nap in. This keeps the sun off and keeps them cool. It takes a few tries to figure out how to fold it back up, but it’s pretty easy once you get the hang of it Apr 21, 2021

I've used this for my 3 older kids from birth. I love that you can zip them in so the roaming toddlers can't get out, until they figure out the zipper. And it fits under the seat in the van. Sep 05, 2019

I love to use this product for beach trips! Keeps baby out of the sun and gives her the perfect place to take a nap. I highly recommend this to any parent who spends alot of time outdoors. Feb 10, 2021

This was amazing for traveling until our daughter started rolling around more, at which point she realized what was surrounding her and refused to sleep in it anymore. It's a well made product though. Sep 11, 2020

I couldn't get my baby to like this. She would love playing in it with it unzipped but as a travel bed there was no way she would sleep in it with it zipped. Great for play but not as a travel bed. Feb 14, 2020

We had this for my older son when he was a Baby. I thought it would be bigger to fit both of us. Turned out to be much smaller than i thouht. It was also really hard fold. Ended up leaving it open. Oct 22, 2019

I really wanted this and loved the idea. I've had it for a yr now and used it once. For me it was more trouble than what it's worth. A little hard to fold back up aswell Mar 24, 2019

This peapod is amazing! No need to haul a bulky pack and play. This is so lightweight and folds up easily for on-the-go. I will never go back to the pack and play. The pad is easily washable. May 09, 2018

I love this pod. I took this pod overseas, and it was one of the best purchases for the baby. Kept my baby safe from the sun and insects while sitting by the pool. Super light to carry. Feb 19, 2018

Use this on roadtrips, at the park or beach, even at friends when we visit and LO needs her nap. She sleeps like a dream in it and I love that it will last us a few years. Can't wait to go camping! Feb 05, 2018

This is WONDERFUL for travel. The air mattress pocket made it comfortable for my son without me having fear of him suffocating on it. My older child was jealous that she didn't have one to sleep in! Jun 02, 2017

This was given to me. Perfect for me to use with my infant at the beach and pool. Keeps her in the shade and cool. Now that she rolls I am not sure I feel safe with her sleeping in it unsupervised. Jul 20, 2016

Never found a good reason to use this. Seemed too hot inside during days when shade would actually be needed. Mar 01, 2016

This wasn't as useful as I had hoped. The pad was pretty thin and my large babies (30 lb by 1 year) could hardly use it. Jul 28, 2015
