what parents are saying
This "travel" crib sits flat on the ground - so no weight limit. The sloped sides make it more stable than cribs with straight sides. One side unzips, so a child can crawl in and out of it, and mom can lie down to feed a baby in it, then get out and leave the baby sleeping. Dad and other kids can get in this way, too. It's also longer than other portable cribs I looked at, which is important if you want to use it for a long time. I forgot that it is also so light (7 lbs) and packs smaller than similar ones I looked at (e.g. BabyBjorn or Lotus) (May 26, 2016)

We were able to pack this in our suitcase for a flight to California. It's light and packs compact, but still feels sturdy. Did what we needed it to do. Easy to assemble & take apart. Jan 14, 2023

We have used this travel crib extensively and we love it. It can be a bit of a pain to get the mattress attached properly. Also have the basinette attachment, it's great. Love how light it all is! Mar 29, 2022

It takes a little practice to get it out together, but it actually fits inside my suitcase which makes traveling so much easier. Feb 10, 2020

A real lifesaver for parents who travel a lot! It’s great to always have baby’s bed with us no matter where we land, we don’t have to worry if the hotel has a crib available. Fits in our suitcase! Aug 29, 2019

Great travel bed. It can fit in a large suitcase and is very lightweight. Because it is so lightweight it could be tipped over by a toddler, so best for under 1 yr. It’s annoying to put together. Aug 25, 2019

Your baby will be sound asleep before you get this crib constructed. We love many of Phil & Teds products but their travel cribs fall short compared to Guava/Bjorn. Dont make your trip stressful. Jul 17, 2019

Great travel crib - easy to set up with practice (like a tent). So convenient for travel - you can carry it on a plane! Our baby slept in it for weeks at a time when we were travelling! Jun 04, 2019

This may be our favorite item for parents who travel. It fits as carry on and was a lifesaver when stuck in an airport for hours, made travel easy by giving our baby through toddler a familiar bed. Jan 22, 2019

It's very lightweight and fairly easy to put together. It's probably not that cozy for baby (thin mattress), but does the trick on the go. Jul 03, 2018

I brought this initially for travel, the mattress is just so thin, my first daughter didn’t care for it. She was 9 months at the time of travel Jun 23, 2018

Super lightweight and compact when folded. We travel everywhere with ours, fits easily into the larger suitcase. Safely sits directly on the ground, pretty quick to assemble after you get to know it May 30, 2018

We traveled around the world for 8 months with our 2-year-old and this crib. It's compact, lightweight, easy to set up, and the best for travel when you have to pack a suitcase. Jan 29, 2018

Super lightweight and great for travel. Only downfall is a little more work to put together than first thought. Still simple and put up in a couple minutes! Perfect crib for the on the go family! Jan 28, 2018

Light, easy to set up and best of all - baby loved it. The side opens so baby can go in and out and get used to it quickly. Sleeps so much better in this than my pack and play. Fits in a suitcase too! Jan 14, 2018

It falls over! Fine if your baby is too young to stand and push on the sides, but our toddler knocked it over easily the second time we used it. Lightweight and easy to use, really wanted to like this Nov 12, 2017
- Amber T.

I LOVE this! At just 7 pounds it is compact and easy to bring along. We've taken it on plane, car, camping, and hiking trips. The best! Sep 24, 2017

Although it takes a bit longer to set up then other brands its the most light weight solution and a great crib! Setup time is bout 5 min so not bad. The space it takes is essential. Jun 28, 2017

This is lightweight, easy to assemble, and is easy to throw in the car and take with us. The pad that comes with it has also been comfortable for our kids. Jun 09, 2017

The legs are nearly impossible to snap in and out, making it really difficult to disassemble and reassemble. Even though the Graco pack & play is much heavier, it's far easier to set up. Aug 10, 2016

I have the new version. Light, pretty easy to set up. The mat doesn't quite inflate right though. Love the zippered sides and the all around mesh. Dec 23, 2015
- France S.

So lightweight, no risk of the floor of the frame breaking (that has happened twice to us), an actual comfortable mattress! Love that it can be used as a sun tent outside with one side zipped down. Apr 12, 2015

It doesn't weigh much. Fits in our large suit case and is fairly easy to set up. Too bad she often ends up in bed with us. Jun 23, 2014
traveling with a baby older than 6 months, take this does not take any space compare to any other bed for baby out there! Apr 03, 2014

I love it from day trips, vacations to camping it has been one of my can't "live" without items . It packs and goes beautifully and the top keeps out unwelcome guest ! Sep 25, 2013

Got one off of craigslist for a very good discount; baby girl has only used it a couple of times, but slept overnight and naps in it - it only packs up to 7 lbs which is great. Sep 20, 2013
Great for travel, camping, grandmas. Light and small. Takes a little longer to set up than the Babybjorn but it's smaller when packed up. And cheaper! Jul 26, 2013
There is no other traveller crib for a NYC parent, as far as I am concerned. It's actually PORTABLE! As in, take it with you on the plane and never worry that you'll need a crib! And it's the longest one out there so my son fit till he was TWO! May 01, 2013

This looks like the old version - which we had until it was ripped by someone borrowing it and now we have the new one. Easy to assemble and use. Fits in rolling bag w/ clothes. Aug 16, 2016
