Can this be used as a travel crib for just a few nights?

No. I actually bought this for my infant granddaughter to be used while on the beach. I saw what you may like @ either Ross or Marshall's. It was a fold up small flat travel bed by Eddie Bauer. Google baby travel. Beds.hope this works for you.

No, definatley not. I purchased for use on the beach, but couldn't manage to put it together... I don't recommend this at all.

I believe you could take the mattress on a plane, could be packed in a suitcase along with other personals or even in a carry on bag. It folds into a small package, but make sure you check the total weight and restrictions on weight. Our grandkids just love the air bed.

Yes, my 2 year old has been sleeping in this when we travel since he was 16 months old. We love it. So much easier than lugging a pack and play, and the pump it comes with is small. I am able to pack his clothes, bedding, diapers, loves, books etc with this bed in a carryon suitcase

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.

Unnoticeable, so the answer would be no. Great crib, It has a wire spring bottom, not just a board like most do. I paired it with a memory foam mattress and my 16 month old daughter sleeps better here than at her mothers.

I have a child who is one using it now. It is very safe as a crib but I would not use it as a playen as it would not hold up.

Think of it this way--the mat the baby sleeps on rests on the floor. It's a great travel crib. It's big, it is easy to tote around, the sleeping mat is dense and high quality, and the baby can't hurt him/herself. The mat is low but if it is going to be set up and folded up a lot, it's worth it.

Yes pack and play will work as a temporary crib. I would probably get a pad and square sheet to put on the mat as the mat that is in it is not real comfy for all night sleeping.

i think so. its not for everyday use as a bed but its fine for a few nights. its super easy to maintain and the storage below is great! very good value.

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.

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.

I'm using it in a crib, but I think you'd have trouble rolling it to travel...

No, this is made for a mini crib or a pack n play. It is a thin mattress that is rather soft as well - I would not recommend for use every day.

The floor piece of the playpen is padded, so it can be used as a bed without buying another piece. We have a crib for every night use, but use a playpen when we're on vacation, etc. Unless you're planning on using it as a primary, every night bed/crib, I wouldn't worry about spending the extra money on something that you aren't going to use as often and would be difficult to store. I would recommend the sheet, though, as the fabric/lining doesn't seem overly comfortable. Graco sells fitted sheets specifically for their playpens, but the sizing seems to be standard among brands of playpens and sheets.

I think mattress is comfortable not soft soft, with proper sheet( tight) I think is safe, my daughter loves to sleep in it:) and travel crib light 2 looks different it has fabric on the bottom thats why some people are afraid to put babys there. My type ( older version)has only net.

for traveling, vacation weekend or just an occasional over nighter this cage is fine - not for living in it for an extended time!

I have not tried, but I would think so. This is a standard size portable crib. The folding "mattress" that comes with it is pretty terrible, even for a folding mattress! It is basically several hard slats of wood/cardboard with a this piece of foam over them. Somehow my daughter slept great, but I also plan to buy a real mattress before we use crib again.
