Is the crib large enough for an 18 month old to sleep in? We are thinking of getting it for the whole summer (i.e. not just occasional use).

We use it for occasional visits by our grandson who is now 14 months, but it would be too small for daily use by him. Good for new borns, but due to its size, we believe it is limited.

I think it depends on how they sleep. My 2 year old slept in one a similar size when visiting family many times over the summer and did just fine. I have a 6 month old in it and there is plenty of room to grow.

My oldest is 7 months and it's getting small for him. I use them in my home daycare every day for naps, won't use it for night hrs don't think is strong enough for an 19 month old. Maybe naps

I would not use this on an 18month old because they are at the age where they will climb out of it. Hope this helps.

Our daughter is 22 months, 34-1/2" and fills up the space comfortably. She used it for 5 weeks while on vacation and is using it again for 2 weeks. She sleeps beautifully in it - highly recommend. She likes it MUCH better than a pack and play which is why we bought it for longer-term use.

Yes, my daughter is tall and we used it every night from 16 months to 20 months. Get the extra mattress. Its worth it.

No I definitely wouldn't recommend it for an 18 month old. I think it would be way too small. Hope I helped.

I have this crib at my house for my 16 month old granddaughter and it is large enough for her. I love it because it's the perfect size and doesn't take up to much room.

I think it would be okay for short term. My 2.5 & 4 year olds slept on it together and did okay. We were traveling across country and it was perfect; compact, easy to set up and easy to put away.

Our daughter used it last summer when she was around 18 months. She is two and a half now this summer and way too big. It's pretty small, but very cute.

It depends on the baby's length. Weight-wise, I am sure it will be ok, but both of my twins kept pushing their heads into the headboard of the crib by around that age. And they are not tall, actually probably on the shorter side at about 30-31" at the time. We didn't realize how crowded they must have felt in the mini-crib until we put them in the regular-size crib and the first thing they did was lie on their backs and stretch their arms up and out, as it to enjoy the extra space. That being said, they would probably be ok in the mini-crib for a few nights, but not as a regular sleeping arrangement. It depends on the baby's length.

We traveled for over 1.5 months non-stop and 3 weeks non-stop with this crib and we'd fully recommend it. The mattress provided worked really well for us. The sheet you can leave on if you have to dis- and reassemble the crib regularly.

Question- will a pac n play mattress fit inside of this tent? I have twin 2.5 year olds. In toddler beds (cribs with front rail removed) One rolls around a lot. Tried the shrinks brand air mattress recently. The rail wasn't tall enough, or it wasn't comfortable for them. For whatever reason, 3 nights in a row of getting up multiple times..

Yes it does fit the crib mattress, which is what we are still using. I guess it depends on how big your 18 month old is. I have a petite 3 year old (27#) and she fits great with good room for more growth. I love the bed because it not only looks great but it is low to the ground (just in case there are any falls) and the rails really do help keep them safe. I would recommend this bed!

We bought this as a crib for our grandson, who stays with us at least two days a week. He is now 18 months old and is more than 100% of his age group for height... and he still sleeps in this Babyjorn travel crib.. we love it... very easy to pack up and take on vacations, as well as using it every week for sleep overs and daily naps...

I think it would be much too small for your twins. Our two-year-old grandson likes to play in the one we got for him to sleep in when he outgrew the "pack and play," but he won't stay in it to sleep. I think he feels too confined.

Agree with the below ... A crib mattress would be too big and bulky to fit inside. Good suggestion about getting a foam insert. Hadn't thought about since my son seems to sleep fine on it the way it is.

I'm with you all...just turned 8 months, sleeps like a lamb in the RnP, but is so active that she can't sleep in her crib. I'm all for letting her cry herself to sleep at this age, but we live in an apartment and I'm trying to be aware of our upstairs neighbors. Ugghhh...this is frustrating. :(

We've had this mattress 6 months. Our toddler son sleeps on it every night from 9 to 11 hours each night. I've fallen asleep on the mattress with him as has my husband. We haven't had any issue with it and look forward to years with it. It's sustained some jumping too (as toddlers enjoy) on occassion and no issues. We have the twin size mattress. I did A LOT of research in deciding on a mattress for a young child. Highly recommend.

Hi, we bought this for our 18 month old when he was 22 pounds, we have had it most of the summer & now he is 30 pounds & has plenty of room for him to grow. We hung it on a wooden swing set, in place of the regular swing. Our son loves this!

Hi Ilana, we are definitely always concerned by this but that will be the case for essentially any travel crib. We just make sure that we set it up far from any drafts (heating vents, doors, windows, etc) and he does fine. If your baby is sleeping its a bit hard to get them in and out of the crib - you have to be pretty flexible! because it's so low down. But he sleeps through the night in the crib when we travel. It's really well made and easy to pack and travel with. We like it very much.

I would say that this mattress is great for any child that no longer sleeps in a crib. This mattress has no way to keep a child in it, so for me personally, I would want to make sure that my child is mature enough to know to stay in a bed, whatever age that is. I probably wouldn't use it for a young infant either.

We were in the same situation when we ordered our sleep soon. I went with the bigger one. Our little one was swimming in it, but it wasn't a problem for it to be too big. It might be easier to get it on and off when it is big rather than small. I got the big one thinking she would grow into it, but in reality she didn't need it that long. Before she really fit into it, we were done using it.

My little girl was only able to stay in the cradle till 5 months after that she had to go to a crib since she kept hitting her head on the bars in her sleep from tossing and turning. Many babies like the extra space to move around in their sleep and for a eight month old it may be a little too cramped even though the length would not be that bad. You would be better off getting him into a crib then a cradle.
