What is difference between the Baby Bjorn Travel Crib and BBTC 2? I notice a height difference of 2 inches, is one better than the other?

I don't know the answer... but I would like to add that the extended legs of the BAby Bjorn Travel Crib are a huge hazard. Not only can you trip on them... but you can trip on them while holding your little one. :(

The only difference are the height and weight. The 2 is 2 inches taller and about a pound lighter. That's the only differences that I can find. Hope that helps!

I would say no. That never happened for us. I used this for my son a lot and have used it for my daughter as well. My son jumped out if his big crib just after 2 1/2. I don't recall when he was able to get out of the Bjorn but we never had a safety issue with it. It's the best!

I was also having a hard time deciding between the two. I think I have finally decided on the graco pack n play with bassinet. It is cheaper and can later be used as a playpen/crib when the baby is more than 15 lbs. Also, it folds up and is easy to use for travel, I am not sure the co-sleepers do that.

Hi there! Everything comes in the travel bag (crib and mattress) so you do not need to worry. It fits perfectly and you can also stick a regular crib sheet in in the bag while traveling! I didn't purchase the Bjorn sheet for this travel crib, I just used my regular crib sheets and even though they are too big, I just tuck them under. Hope this helps!!

The Sleepi system comes with parts to create a mini crib and the larger crib. The other one is just the crib. I liked the mini crib because my babies were in my room for 4 months and the little crib fit nicely beside my bed. When they were old enough to move out of my room I just had to add some pieces. It was very easy to adjust it. (I did it with an allen wrench.) Hope that helps.

The mattress I purchased along with the crib is 371/2 long by 24" wide. I followed the suggestion of another buyer and bought the mattress shown at the bottom of the page--Others who bought this item also bought this, etc. It comes with a very! thin mattress which I still leave next to the frame for extra padding. It's what we used to call a porta-crib. Very useful until they get to be about 2.

I remember reading somewhere in the product description that the crib is good until 2 years old but if you have a tall child maybe sooner. My 6 month old still fits very comfortably in it. It's a solid wood foundation.

I had both with my first child, and decided to get rid of the cosleeper the second time around. I liked the look better, but it was MUCH LESS useful. My first child used the pack n play until he was 2 years old when he moved onto a floor futon. This time around I'm also going to use the Phil and Teds travel bed. It only weighs 6 lbs (vs. 30) and it has a zipper on one side so the child can get in out of bed unassisted.

Yes, this portable (folding) crib is smaller than standard size. Ours has been perfect for our two new grand babies, but once they are over 1 1/2 years it may be too small for either of them. The crib has caster wheels that can lock in place, or wheel freely. The crib was easy to put together, came with a very thin pad for a mattress, so we ordered another mattress offered with the crib. The mattress board is adjustable in a high or low position. I measured the inside of the crib to be 38" long x 24" wide. The internet offers pads and fitted sheets in this size as well.

Hi! I actually had the Bjorn initially but returned it because I found that it was hard to carry my 8 lb baby for a long period of time. The ergo (either 360 or original) I am able to carry my 17 lb baby for a long period of time without it hurting my shoulders. The 360 is nice because you can face the baby outward but then there's the issue with the Velcro (can stick to clothes, is very loud, etc) the original is nice because of the clip feature but the baby can only face inward. So it is up to you on which to get. But between the ergo and Bjorn, I would def go with ergo. :)

I recently order this travel crib on amazon and yes it is the newest version (newer than the travel crib light 2) it has the completely mesh sides to the base and is a wonderful product. I was worried I would get the older version when I ordered it but was pleased to see it was the newest one as seen on the baby bjorn website.

The graco travel light crib, is what I purchased second after realizing this bassinet does not remove, the graco is the same size if that's what your looking for, but has a bassinet that lowers or removes turning it into a playpen type, I love it, and would never had purchased this one had I known this ahead of time

I'm thinking it's probably the same length and width as a pack n play but this is so much more portable and compact for traveling. It folds and unfolds easily and quickly and is very lightweight. We have gotten great use out of this travel crib.

The included mattress is only about 1 inch thick...you'll probably want to upgrade it. When we placed the order, there was a suggested upgrade on the mattress, which we purchased. My grandson was only 4 months at the time and not very mobile. For the next visit in Feb. 2014, I'm planning to buy a "better" mattress for the bed. The crib itself is very sturdy but not very big (by US standards) but is the same size that they use for him in Spain. Hope this information helps!

I've not gotten either yet, but in my research, these are the differences:Neither is designed for the playard position to be used as a primary sleeping area, but people have used both playards as a crib until the child was 18 months. Both can be wheeled around.Pack n play: lighter and therefore easier for travelingthe bassinet holds up to 15 poundsyou will have to get out of bed to use itcheaperCo-sleeper:portable, but heavier and not as easy to packthe bassinet holds up to 30 poundsdesigned so that you don't have to get out of bed to use the bassinetAnother discussion thread about this choice: http://www.windsorpeak.com/dcforum/DCForumID5/564.html I've not gotten either yet, but in my research, these are the differences:Neither is designed for the playard position to be used as a primary sleeping area, but people have used both playards as a crib until the child was 18 months.

A mini crib and a porta crib are 2 different sizes. A porta crib is smaller than a mini crib. It fits a porta crib. Very cute! Love it!

My daughter only liked this product till she was 2.5 months . After she was able to see better she didn't want to sit in this rocker because she couldn't see around her. However, she really did the the Baby Bjorn bouncer. Which has three or four positions. One is for sleeping. It folds flat for travel too. I wish we would have bought that bouncer instead of the rocker. We've taken the Baby Bjorn rocker with us on vacation to hotels and restaurants. It's pretty convenient. Here's a link for that product.BABYBJORN BabySitter Balance, Brown/Beige (Discontinued by Manufacturer) My daughter only liked this product till she was 2.5 months .
