I've tried so many things - this is definitely the best!! December 1, 2008

I absolutely, absolutely recommend this bed if you travel with your baby. It is exactly what they say - so easy to set up and so easy to pack up. Literally it takes about 20 seconds!! br / br /We have been traveling with our baby (first child) since he was about two months old. At that time, I did a lot of research on the various travel beds available. I really liked this one but didn't want to put out the cash. So I went with an Eddie Bauer travel bed. That lasted all of about three months because as soon as we couldn't swaddle him anymore and he started rolling over, it was useless. br / br /For our next trip (after he outgrew the EB bed), I took the pack and play. Well it took me so long to break it down I was almost in tears - this was before we'd even left home! Then we arrived at our destination late at night, the baby was screaming because he was so tired and it took us what seemed like forever to get it set up. br / br /I decided I wasn't traveling with that again because it was too heavy to lug around. So then I got a Peapod. That worked okay, but once the baby was active (i.e., able to walk and crawl around), he would flip it over all the time. He also didn't like the 'cover' over his head. br / br /We needed to go to my in-laws for about 10 days a couple of months ago - our longest trip to date, and I knew we couldn't use the pack and play and the Peapod wouldn't have worked. Plus, we had long layovers on both legs and I wanted something that I could use during the layovers (I'd done this with the Peapod before) - it's helpful to have somewhere where they can play when you're stuck in the airport for hours. So I looked into the BabyBjorn. I read all the reviews here on Amazon (you'll see most of them are 4s and 5s) - and I was sold. I also watched the videos on the BabyBjorn website. Amazon had them on sale too (and I got an extra discount by using BillMeLater). br / br /Let me tell you it was worth every penny!!! I wish I'd bought that the first time - I would have saved the money on the Eddie Bauer bed and the Peapod. He slept fine every night we were away from home. br / br /Pros: br /* It is so easy to move around. The bag it comes in is like a big briefcase (it's too big - long - to put in the overhead compartment on airplanes though, but you can gate check it) - I was even able to fit a couple of toys into it as well. It's very lightweight. You can lift it up with one hand. Try doing that with your pack and play. br / br /* Setting it up and taking it down is a snap. Watch the video on the BabyBjorn website and look at the instruction sheet - you'll figure it out in no time. I used it in the airport for our layovers and had to give at least three people the website. br / br /Cons (these are not really cons, as none of these would stop me from telling you to get this bed! Think of them more as things-to-watch-out-for): br / br /* As stated in other reviews, it doesn't come with its own sheet. I did see they (BabyBjorn) are selling one now for $40. Save your money and just use your pack and play sheet - they work fine; just tuck under any excess. We traveled this Thanksgiving and I forgot my sheet at home, and I was able to get by with using two of my aunt's king size pillow cases - just overlapped them and tucked them under and he slept like a charm. br / br /* One review I read here on amazon warned that the legs 'stick out' a bit and it's easy to stub your toe if you forget that. This is true. I had the bed a little too close to our bed and did stub my toe one night after a late night bathroom visit. Solution: just move the travel bed a little farther away from your bed! br / br /* It is low to the ground. That has not been a problem for our baby - he's an awesome sleeper. Plus, he's a big baby and his crib at home is already at the lowest point it can drop to, so I think he was accustomed to that. But if you have a bad back, this would be something to consider if your child is not yet able to stand up and reach up for you to pick him/her up. br / br /Final words: my son is 15 months old and weighs 27 pounds. I anticipate being able to use this for a good few years hopefully!!! It is worth the money, and is probably one of the best products I have ever bought.
Almost perfect November 30, 2008
TWU (Northeast United States)
This crib is a huge improvement over the pack-n-play. The pack-n-play isn't bad, but this BabyBjorn travel crib is so much lighter and easy to travel with. Also, you can practically assemble it with one hand (while holding baby in the other). It just snaps into place. We struggled with the pack-n-play for a few trips and now use this BabyBjorn, appreciating it greatly each time. Our daughter is now 1 year old and still fits fine. There are only 2 minor things wrong with this travel crib: 1) It does not come with a sheet as others have mentioned and it is hard to find one the right size (pack-n-play sheet is slightly too short); and 2) since the sides are sloped in slightly, it is a little difficult to put sleeping baby in easily - you have to bend over and lean forward slightly, compromising your balance. The benefits, however, outweigh these minor drawbacks and we recommend it strongly.
Travel Crib November 17, 2008

The BabyBjorn travel crib is lightweight, incredibly sturdy, easy to assemble. Our baby felt right at home in it while we were away from home. The criticism I have is that the legs stick out quite a bit and my husband kept tripping over them. The price on Amazon was a lot better than many other sites. I would definitely recommend this crib to any family that travels (especially these days with all the luggage weight constrictions).
BUY THIS! it is more than worth the money November 15, 2008
A. Winkles
Amazing! We spend alot of time at our friends homes and ever since we bought this portable crib/playpen sleeping isn't a problem ANYWHERE! It takes maybe 20 seconds to put up and even less to set up. We use it as a play pen at home and because of its design it is perfect for my six month old to sit and watch the dogs pass by and I don't worry about him falling over becuase there are no hard surfaces inside the crib. This has already paid for itself and we recommend this to everyone.
So easy! November 12, 2008
