BABYBJORN Travel Crib Light

Noa A.

weeThink

As if traveling with an infant isn't overwhelming enough, figuring out where they're going to sleep while away from home can be a real challenge. Enter: BabyBjorn Travel Crib Light. Super lightweight, a cinch to set up and take down (we're talking a matter of seconds, here), and is suitable for kids from infancy to age 3. (You can check out our video demo here.) And the best part? As one weeSpring parent noted: "Baby slept great in this while traveling--almost better than at home…"

The Catch: Baby is very low to the ground in it making it hard to lower baby into

    Open the bag, lift out the travel crib and set it up in one simple movement. There are no loose parts to attach. The legs unfold automatically and once you have put the mattress in you have a stable travel crib to use at home or on trips. When you’re not using it, simply fold it up and store it in the practical bag.

  • It’s pretty simple to figure out and packs into a convenient suitcase style carrier. It’s a great (though expensive) option for traveling with infants/toddlers. Jul 04, 2023

  • So simple to put together! Very compact and easy to travel with in its bag! My toddler still sleeps great in this! Aug 21, 2022

    Easiest travel crib that you can set up in 2 mins. It is lightweight and fool proof. It is also large enough to fit an older toddler. The case must be checked and does not fit in overhead compartment Jun 20, 2022

  • A great travel crib! Easy to pack down, and set up. We took it on vacation, and our slept perfectly in it! It is difficult to reach baby as it's on the ground, but we still love it. May 19, 2021

  • This crib is actually amazing for travel. My husband and nine-month-old daughter travelled all across Italy with it in tiny European hotel rooms and I could not recommend it more. It is light and easy Feb 06, 2021

    • Alice C.

    • San Gabriel, California

    LOVE how light and quick/easy it is to set up/put away this travel crib. Also the padding it comes with is so much softer than our other travel crib! Aug 20, 2019

  • This has survived 7 yrs and 3 kids so far. I love it. Super easy to set up/take down. Kids sleep great in it, and it keeps them out from the wall/legs of the crib nicely. Jun 30, 2019

  • Super lightweight, easy to setup and easy to travel with (comes with a nice carrying case). The one downside is that it’s low to the ground and takes baby some getting used to sleeping so low Feb 11, 2019

    • Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania

    So lite and easy to set up Apr 19, 2017

  • This is the first travel crib we bought but ultimately ended up returning it. I think it would be excellent for older babies but just not young ones. I had to lean over sooo far to lay the baby down Oct 05, 2016

  • Can't imagine life without it! It's beyond easy to set up and break down. I also love that my baby sleeps terrifically in this, and is delighted to play in it while I make dinner or do chores. Oct 05, 2016

  • I prefer this over the pack and play for portability. It's so light and easy to pack and transport. Feb 27, 2015

  • I love how light and portable this is, but it's very deep which means it can be drafty for baby and reaching all the way down to the bottom is tough. Feb 07, 2015

    • Anne K.

    • Brooklyn, New York

  • This is a MUST HAVE. So easy to take apart, packs down to a tiny flat box, and is comfy with a mattress and sleek looking. Had I not gotten the pack n plays first, I would only have gotten these. They are great and the best ive seen out there Sep 24, 2014

  • Have only used it once but super easy to set up and take down and love that it has its own carrying case. Jan 13, 2014

    • Jenn K.

    • New York, New York

    easy to open/close; packs small; light...the mattress is on the thin side, so not sure I want to use it for weeks at a time; the mesh dark so hard to see baby with video monitor Sep 25, 2013

  • Light and easy to fold up, the best travel crib ever. Jun 26, 2013

    • Noa A.

    • Larchmont, New York

    Our daughter slept 10 straight hours in this crib last night and then another 3! Super light weight and easy to put together and break down. The only thing I don't like is that the bottom is not mesh, I worry about it's breathability. Apr 15, 2013

  • Love this! I was a little nervous at first that my son would not want to sleep in it, but we had no problems. It's super light weight and very easy to put together. You can buy the crib sheet that fits the mattress separately. Feb 05, 2013

  • Q: Can this be carried onto an airplane?

    asked by Secretly Expecting - Mar 19, 2014

  • Dimensions are similar to one of those roller suitcases, but it's about 4 inches bigger... so while you could fit it in an overhead compartment, probably wouldn't pass muster to get on the plane. I think you could safely check it, though.
