Has anyone traveled on a plane with the crib? If yes, how did it work out? Also does the mattress fold up into the carrying case as well?

Yes, I'm traveling with it now. It folds up super easily and the mattress folds around it in the bag so the whole thing is a rectangle about 5 inches thick and about 30x25. Very light as well.

We checked it with our bags - no problem at all. And yes, the mattress does fold up in the case too.

Most airlines check the baby Byjorn for free (not an additional piece of luggage). The suitcase it too tall to bring on the plane.

The case is large so it will count as a suitcase. It's sturdy. It will travel well. Whole pad folds up. It pops up in under 1 min. I know it's expensive but I'm a huge fan! Used it for two vacations. My ONLY complaint is I would not use it for a little newborn. The bottom is very sturdy and safe but not that amazing hard surface a newborn needs. I'm a little bit of a nut about my sleeping spaces but I trusted it 100% for my 9 month old.

It does fold into the case, after owning 9 travel cribs, this is by far the best one

No it does not fold or roll up. The only way to travel with this is if you have a large enough suitcase to have this fit inside and then check that bag. The mattress is defiantly worth it though when not traveling. It fits perfect for the travel lite. I bought it to use as a bassinet and my daughter wouldn't sleep on the flimsy pad they provide. This was so much more comfortable for her

I use this for sleep only since the sides are not as taut as a play pen. I also have a play pen for everyday. I love the crib and it has a great thick mattress which my little one loves. It also is very easy to pack in the car. I haven't tried the plane yet, but I would be doable.

Dear Traveler, I traveled on a , plane and placed the foam in my luggage. I didn't fold it in half but I did fold the edges and it was ok. No damage occured.

Hi, we haven't flown with it yet (but we will in April, when we go on a trip to California). Best is to check with the airline. We flown to Europe in October and called the airline to find out their policy on carrying baby stuff and they were extremely helpful, so that's our recommendation. And once you know the policy, would you mind sharing it with us? Thank you and sorry we couldn't be of any assistance :)

Yes. It folds up like a pack n play. It can be used as a crib, co-sleeper, play-yard, or pack n play. The front side slides up and down and locks in to place. We are really happy with it, except for the mattress. It says it comes with a mattress, but it is basically just the pad that would be used in a pack n play. You can get a decent mini mattress for it on amazon for about $30. Hope this helps!

I have not taken it on a plane. However it folds up pretty small and is reasonably light-weight.

The pillow is stuffed. It has a plastic latch at each end that can be looped through the handle of your carry-on and connected to each other (like the safety-belt on a grocery cart seat, if you are familiar with those). I also had an inflatable pillow in my kit, but it is plain plastic, like a pool float, and I never used it. The blanket and arm sling can be folded and carried in the small zippered section on the front of your carry-on bag. Hope this helps!

No. It is too small and a bit shaky. I highly recommend a Phil & Teds travel crib. A bit more expensive but I was able to use the Phil & teds until my baby was 3. Years old. Got my money's worth out of it.

Absolutely! We just wheel me up to the airplane door, my husband folds the chair in half ( easy Peasy) and we leave it right there with the baby buggies. Those items are brought up almost immediately after the plane reaches the gate. Unfold, and you're off! My chair has traveled all over Europe and is still in great shape.

It comes with a thin foldable mattress that fits the pack n play. A normal crib mattress would not fit.

oh so sorry.. but I remove it from the box, unfolded and blew it up so quick that I'm afraid I won't be of much help...I do remember coming out of the box, it was folded very tightly and it does work great, of course, depending on what else you have going in your carryon it could take up more room that you can allocate for it...I wish I could have given you more of the answer you were looking for.

Just packed mine away yesterday... it's about 2' x 2' x 8" in its carry on bag. The key is to suck all the air out completely 'til it's super flat and shriveled, and then fold it first in half horizontally and then thirds vertically.

I don't think so. You just need to make sure your fitted crib sheet is taut and there is no rumpling. On a side note we just returned from another trip with our two kids where this item was a lifesaver! It fits perfectly into our largest suitcase, folds up quickly and easily and was great for many places in Europe where they don't have pack and plays available. Our 16 month old has slept in it quite comfortably, and before that my 2 year old slept in it.

The bed comes with a travel/storage bag. it is the same size as a standard sleeping bag when deflated. It does not take up a lot of space, and I was surprised with how fast it will inflate.

Agreed. We literally got back from California tonight. My kids are 16 months and 3 and a half years old. Very few cars could accommodate a stroller this big is the only downfall, we rent mini vans, by the time you get it and your luggage in, you'll be happy you did. I have a toyota Highlander so it's no biggy for us around home. For anyone who doesn't know though, you don't actually take the stroller onto the plane, once you are about to board the plane from the airwalk you drop the stroller there and it gets checked, then you pick it up in the same place after the flight.. Most air lines check strollers and car seats for free fyi as well. Your wording sounded like you planned on taking it onto the plane, so I thought I would clarify that.

It does fold up but the base is a little wide so it may not fit your carry on. We used gate check on ours but had it in the bag at the time we left it at the gate.
