I'll need to travel across country for the holidays with a four month old, is this a good travel crib for nights needed to stay at a hotel?

It has worked well for us in hotels. It folds up pretty small to pack into a car as well.

It is a good crib...I never used it for traveling. When we did fold it up when we were done with it at " Nana's house " it took a bit of time.

Yes it is an excellent travel crib. We have taken it on many trips. Very easy to set up and take down.

I used the Graco Pack and Play next to my bed. I used it for both of my kids until they turned 6-8 months and moved to a crib. After that we used it when we traveled until my kids were two. It was probably the most used baby item I purchased! I loved that I could easily move it from room to room depending where I needed baby to sleep! I actually wanted to arms reach but I am sooo glad I got a pack n play!

No, it is not. It is very nice to sleep on all night. I stay out of town 20 days a month in nice hotels (Hampton, holiday inn, etc) and I'm still ready to get home in my own bed.

No, it's made for a "portable crib" which from my understanding is just a smaller version of a regular wooden crib. It's not very portable though it is extremely lightweight. I have traveled with it but I wouldn't want to do it all of the time.We use it with our Graco pack n' play.

If you want to take onto plane the equivalent to a moderate carry on, that would probable work. Probably more convenient to use hotel roll away for an older child. Our granddaughter was only 2 1/2 and we were staying in a condo. hop

I think a normal crib fitted sheet will work best. That's what I use for my Lotus travel crib. This portable crib is much longer than a normal pack and play, which makes it more comparable to a normal crib.

Yes it is perfect for travel. There are little grooves that keep the tiles from moving around.

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.

My baby rolls onto his tummy too and I think this mattress is firm enough. I would just keep the baby with adults in the same room for a few nights or naps to be sure the baby is ok. Because every baby is different. We used it for our trip and coming back home we use it as an alternative to his crib for naps in another room. He likes it more than pack and play.

I really like the Intex Kidz Travel Bed. I have a 3 year old grandson who sleeps in it when he visits. It is comfortable and stores easy.

You will still need a crib. After a certain weight and if the infant rolls over, you can no longer use this. Newborns love it!

I would highly recommend this for travel. Unless you need something to let the little one play in, I would pick this over the pack n play. My little one sleeps better in the rocker than she ever did in the pack n play and you don't have to worry about the assembly either.

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.

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.

This method will not stop your child from getting off of the bed, if that's the issue you are trying to solve. This is ok for a child that doesn't move too much in bed, to add a soft protection so the child stays in this "nest". I don't think this would be a good traveling option as the foam pieces are fairly long; you might as well use hotel pillows and stuff them around the bed to achieve a similar result. Good luck!

Definitely. We use it to put our 18mo and 3yo in it without any problems. We even have a tall 4yo friend that uses it occasionally. It has been the most helpful thing to us for traveling naps and isolated vacation sleeping.

no--I own this and it's a great travel crib, but because you have to bend over pretty far to pick up a little baby out of the crib, it would get tiring very fast. I highly recommend the arms reach mini co sleeper for a bassinet. I used it with my older child and my twins, until each was about 3-4 mos old, then graduated to crib. I LOVE this travel crib, but not for a regular crib/bassinet for newborn.
