 Excellent portable crib for travel. None that I've used are better September 7, 2008

I bought this crib in preparation for a family trip with my 20 month old son. All these products look great on the website and in person but until you actually take it on a trip and use it, you just don't really know if it will be money well spent or just another piece of equipment confined to the storage room. Anyhow, the first thing that struck me was the size of the crib when its collapsed and in its carry case. It is not big at all. Very compact and easy to carry. The size of the crib is basically half of the base size as it folds in half. Everything else folds flat and in on itself. If you check the Baby Bjorn website, it shows a demo of how you open and close the crib. It REALLY is that easy. The build quality of the materials is excellent and should last a long time. That should be a given considering the price of this crib.
The ultimate test of a crib though, no matter how much we like it, is if your child will actually sleep in it. We were a bit worried on the first night of the trip; being in a new place in a new crib we thought that our son might be a bit fussy. We crossed our fingers and put him in and he was asleep in the blink of an eye. We used it for the duration of our week long trip and we loved it. We put him in it and he would be very comfortable in there. I think the mesh sides really help as it is see through and he probably feels less confined. The only downside I can see is that as your kid gets taller, my son is about 34-35" now, they will be able to climb out by themselves. I think he could get out now if he really tried. Not a big deal if you are careful, but this isn't something you want to use if you need them to be "locked down" in the crib for a period of time.
Anyways, combined with the convenience, portability, quality, and ease of use, I highly recommend this crib, even for the somewhat high price.
Buy this one, not the bulky, heavy ones that "everyone" says. August 28, 2008

Great product. Easy to set up, light weight and serves its purpose as both a travel crib and play pen, if you will. Spend the extra bucks on this item and forgo those bigger, bulkier "pack 'n plays."

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.

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.

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.
