 Wonderful for Transitions August 13, 2008
When my little one outgrew the family basinet, I was presented with the option of moving the crib up a flight of stairs (temporarily) or moving our bed down a flight of stairs (temporarily). Thus, I had a need for a third option.
After looking at a variety of play pens / "Play and Go" products, I realized that the sleeping compartments were too small (weight limits of 15 to 20 lbs.) and the lower level platforms too uncomfortable for sleeping. Although I could not find the Baby Bjorn Travel Crib at any local retail outlets, I went ahead with the purchase (based on the reviews of others). I have not regretted the decision since.
The product is light, compact, and from all indications extremely comfortable for sleeping. We only use the Travel Crib for sleeping (not as a play environment), but we use it every night. We are especially happy that when we travel, the crib easily folds up to a convenient size (roughly the size of a briefcase) for transport, but also because the baby gets to sleep in a familiar platform even though we are in a different location. As a too frequently sleep deprived father, I look for all the advantages I can get helping my little one get a good night of sleep.
expensive but worth it July 30, 2008
Have already been to San Francisco and back with the travel crib, and it's really easy to open/close/pack in its own traveling case. Very light, too. A regular pack 'n play is convenient for home use, but for travel, the BabyBjorn is amazing for infants through age 2. If you travel a lot, it's totally worth the money.
Low Price Find June 21, 2008
Hi, just bought the BabyBjorn Travel Crib as we are impressed by the BabyBjorn products (baby carrier and potty training toliet seats). I like the fact that it is longer than our pack n play since our 10 month old is already in 2T clothes. I didn't care for the pop tent cribs as I was concerned with the quality and space.

Amazing crib - worth the money! June 21, 2008
Expensive, but worth it! This is the best portable crib out there! We had the Pea Pod, which was good until baby could sit up, and then it freaked him out that his head hit the top of the "crib" when sitting up (it's like a mini tent) Also, it was sort of annoying to fold up again after use. Looked into the Phil and Ted crib, but the setup seemed too painful when you need a crib in a hurry (same with the Pea Pod). The Bjorn crib sets up in 2 seconds - you remove it from the bag and it pops into place by itself. Folding is equally easy. Koala baby sheets do fit it well; especially the "deluxe play yard" sheet made of ultra plushy velboa fabric (it's listed as polyester but it's the super-soft plush fabric otherwise known as velboa). This sheet is a little longer than the cotton Koala baby sheets, though the cotton ones are fine, too. We sat in the Bjorn and read books to get our son used to the crib, and there was room for both me (a full-sized adult) and baby to sit in it and read! It was really comfy, too. Set up over a carpet for an even more comfy feel. I would buy this crib again in a second!
 Good Travel Cot June 19, 2008

The Baby Bjorn travel cot has been a worthwhile investment, especially for longer trips where we are flying to the destination and need to travel as compactly as possible (and pack-n-plays are too heavy and bulky to carry/check-in).
Advantages:
+ easy to set-up and shut-down
+ significantly lighter than a pack-n-play/playard to carry
+ thicker, more comfortable mattress pad in this Baby Bjorn (vs those in pack and plays), so the surface seems more comfortable for sleeping. Our 10-month old daughter has slept very well in it without requiring any 'socialization' with the crib in advance. (Bringing familiar toys, blankets and/or stuffed animals from home helps on the trip to make the new sleeping area seem familiar)
Disadvantages:
- there aren't any sheets manufactured for this crib, so we are using a standard crib sheet and tucking it in around the sides
- the mattress is waterproof (good), but with only a cotton sheet covering it, the baby tends to perspire when sleeping for a long time on the mattress. We made the set-up more breathable by putting a blanket over the mattress (under the sheet -- to act as a mattress cover), and the blanket provided an additional layer that prevents the baby from sweating.
Suggestions: the sides of the cot are mesh, so recommend that you bring a few light-weight blankets to drape over the sides to make the crib dark if you have to co-exist in the same (hotel) room and want to have a light on, as well as block any drafts if there are doorways near the crib.
Overall, we recommend it and give 4 stars instead 5 only because of the lack of a sheet that is made to fit the dimensions of the mattress.
