Is this a good option for travel (instead of a pack n play)?

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.

I think it is fine for transporting locally, but the case is not rigid. I think a hard case would be safer for international flight.

Personally, I wouldn't try to use it as a portable item. Granted, it is not heavy but it is bulky and takes up quite a bit of room. If you were to use a larger backpack, it might work.

No, it does not fold up like a Pack 'n Play because it is more rigid like a mattress. We are taking it on a cruise soon and still prefer to travel with it because the Pack 'n Play pad has foam and Masonite, which we try to keep our baby from being exposed to.

I think it is. We keep it in our guest room when we aren't travelling with it, and it works very well. The battery back-up is what I think is the most valuable part for travelling. Other than the extra back-up, it works like a regular sound machine, with adjustable volume and options for white noise or surf.

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.

its not going to be good for travel. You might want to look into the crib size as this model is for a twin bed. A suggestion for a short term is to roll several towels a log and place under the sheet on the open side of the bed.

As much as I love this stroller, it cannot fold for travel. You can break it down but it's really not meant for quick fold and go.I think there are some out there that have that feature but of course they are a bit more in price.

Yes, I use it for a play yard sometimes and it works great. This is 100 x better than a pack n play! It's like comparing a Mercedes to a Ford.

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.

Jam, cannot say with certainty but we have travelled to many European destinations plus Australia/NZ and always carried the mulitiple plus and adapters which sometimes did not always work especially in Italy. I thought this would be a great alternative, lightweight and practical. The sets appear to be the right ones, the only one which may require something else would eb to suit the UK, which is a three prong plug. Haven't checked that out yet but will.

This bowl is pretty large. I don't use it for traveling, but I would think it would be too big to use on a plan with a dog in travel bag. I would suggest a cloth/water resistant foldable portable water cup would make more sense so you could pour water in it when needed, then fold it up when you don't.

I'd also like to know the answer to this question. I plan on using the pack n play as a crib. Thoughts?

They are 2 different things. If you travel a lot (by plane or train, car is easier) and don't have too much space in your apt/house, then the Nest is FANTASTIC! It was a suitcase when we traveled and a bassinet next to my bed when we were at home. I loved it and it is the only gadget i kept... just in case we decide to have a #3. My daughter used it until she was around 6 months.If you dont travel and you have the room, then the pack and play is the way to go. You will use it until they are at least 24 months.. or more.cheers!

I guess you could do it, but personally, it's not the kind of thing I would consider taking with me. It's soft and would mold to whatever shape you had left in your bag, but I pack pretty small and light, so for me, it wouldn't be desirable. But I really love this thing: it is very stable, and just the thing for reading or watching video in bed.
