Hello there! Our "little" man is 3.5 months, 25" and 18 pounds. We use the RNP and aren't sure how much longer we will be able to use it. It only goes up to 25 pounds, but your child could outgrow it for length. We still have some head room, but we are thinking he will have transition by the end of August as we use this for his primary sleeping space due to acid reflux. So, you might be cutting it close if you decided to get it. Also, it travels VERY easily! We have taken it on many trips. It breaks down into a few pieces and could fit into a large suitcase. Have you looked at using a peapod?? KidCo PeaPod Portable Travel Bed with Air Pump - Red In any case, have a great time on your trip!

My Grandchild just turned 6 months old and is 20 inches long. She can now sit straight up in the Rock n Play and grasp the sides and bottom of it. We do not put her in it unless we are staying right beside her to take her out if she sits up after finishing her bottle.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-fkfhupn2xQI bought this for my 1 year old grandaughter, she is petite and had more than enough room for another 1year old. We put a pillow in front when she first received it. Now at 1/ 1/2 years old you could still get two in, but depending on their body length it might be less room than you want. I am including a link that has an adult sitting in it, so you can get an idea. It has worked well for us, but if you have two larger children, you might look at something a step up. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-fkfhupn2xQ

My baby slept in a PeaPod Deluxe (exclusively) until 20 months old. We will use it for travel up until he is 3-4 years old, but it's good up to age SIX! We will probably use this camping and at the beach from now on, as well as inlaws house. We have several videos of him being very independant and going to bed on his own, because of the PeaPod. I would never put any of my babies in a crib or playpen, just because we had such an awesome experience in this. He absolutely loved going to sleep in it every night and for naps. http://youtu.be/CyTcsd_kjVM?t=11m40s This is just one of our videos, there is about a years worth - as he is 21 months old now and just got into a big boy bed!

You'll need Infant Bootie for that. We used it from 4 months. Very easy and light. Ideal for traveling.

I found that my 5yr old grandson had more room to grow in the Diono. The Britax fit too snug - I felt it couldn't accomodate him as well now or when he's 6 or 7. Hope this helps you.

We bought ours for 2 and 4 and they were perfect for them to enjoy. 5 and 4 are ok--they main thing ours did was jump and sit on them. Age 5 will probably want to jump also and need to watch closely that seams don't break.

Definitely get a pack n play! They are multi functional and you can use them for years. We got the pea pod for vacation and our 13 month old wouldn't sleep in it. I think it was too intimidating for him.

My grandson is 20 months. I recently buy the big one for him. I believe the infant one will be better for your 4 months old.

I think this would be excellent for air travel. My granddaughter is only 18 months and loves it. She can draw. I can draw things for her. I can print letters and numbers so she becomes familiar with them. Excellent toy.

I can recommend pack n play. I kept one at my house for grandson visits. He's outgrown it now at 3 yrs old, so Thomas inflatable is great for next year or so.

My son uses it and he just turned 4. But he's a little big for his age. So 4-5 is a good range. Older and it may start getting too small for the to ride.

It worked fine for us and we travel a lot. we've used it with our son between the ages of 1.5 and 3 and it was great! A little cumbersome with detaching and reattaching but worth it. Good luck!

I think any. My son started using it when he was 2-3 months old. He didn't do much, just watched it. It was nice to have a place to be able to lay him. He is now 6 months and still plays under it. Though he is moving around more and I am guessing it won't be long before he loses interest.

I have a VERY LARGE 3yo that fits alright in here... he's wearing 5t or size small if that's a helpful Guage. I don't know that if his little brother (almost 2) was as big a guy as he is they would fit comfortably in it for much longer than another year. So I'd say it depends on how long you plan on using it? We also have a 6 row expedition. Folds up and fits just fine in the back w all rows up. Of all the strollers I've ever had (5 maybe?) This one's been the easiest to Collapse and lock.

I think so. The padding is below the base and I cannot see any suffocation hazards. The child will have a ton of space, but they will grow into it. We use it with our almost 2 year old and started using it with her at 18 months old. I prefer over a pack and play. And it is so small its easy to take on trips!

Hi! There is still room for a toddler or child when the infant seats are still in place. I had twin babies when my son was almost two. This was the only stroller I could find at the time (6 years ago), that would work for us. It is a dream to push when empty, but it is VERY hard to push and turn with babies on board. I quit using it when the babies were 12 months old. I hated this stroller, but didn't have much choice....
