how portable is the crib? is it easy to roll in and out?

It is not on casters, so it doesn't roll. However, it's really lightweight and fairly easy to move around.

I had another crib previously that was on wheels and that one was definitely more portable in that it wheeled. I move this one all the time from room to room and it is fairly easy to scoot and/or pull, but not as easy as if it were on wheels. The plus side is that it is extremely solid and sturdy - much more so than some I have seen on wheels.

We have hardwood floors and put felt under the crib and I have to say it is SO light and easy to move, one handed.

our crib does not have wheels. It's a strong piece of furniture the size on a geico playpen. So I would say it's not very portable but more portable than a full size crib

The one we purchased came with casters, but we chose not to put them on as they were not the locking type. Even without them, it is fairly easy to move. The crib does not fold flat; if you're looking for that type of truly portable crib this is not it. Once set up, it remains solid. You will need to purchase a crib mattress for it, too. The pad it comes with will work for a short time but is not enough support for a larger baby.

There aren't wheels but this crib is super light and fits sideways through traditional doorways, easily moved by one person. I slide our from room to room all the time. :)

yes. It's easy to fold and roll away to where you want. Just make sure the use the "clip" provided so the bed won't unfold during movement.

It's portable. We have been using it for almost 3 months now and love it. It does have to plug in to charge but once it's charged you can unplug it and carry it around. The part that stays with the baby does have to be plugged in though.

We have this crib and the pack and play. This crib is easier to fold because you just lift the base and the two (longest) sides come together. I don't think it's easier to put away though because it is much larger and heavier than a pack and play. It's definitely not easier to take on trips, which is why we ended buying a pack and play. Just a note, you can buy a 2" mattress that fits into both this crib and/or a pack and play.

The crib is easy to fold up, but only the crib sides fold in for storage (i.e. it gets thinner not shorter). In other words, the length of the crib stays the same, the legs do not fold. It is nothing like a pack in play that folds into a small rectangle. That being said, if you had a really big SUV this could potentially fit in the back (you may have to fold down the seats). The mattress that comes with this crib is very thin and comparable to a pack and play mattress. However, I purchased a thicker pad/mattress and my daughter seemed to like it fine. I would think that purchasing a thicker pad that would fit into your pack and play may be the best idea if you are looking to travel a lot. Hope this helps!

Hello Anna. It's not the most portable thing. However, it is very easy to collapse the legs, and then move it around inside. There is a single bar keeping the legs apart, and when you unclick that you can bring the legs together. I've done this a couple of times to move it from downstairs to upstairs. I would not want to do that every day though, since its still pretty big.

It's really not that hard. There are two straps on the back that you clip around the crib

You can fold it up and roll it, I haven't done it, but it looks possible. It's not heavy, so, you cn easily carry it.

Yes, it has wheels and does move in and out easily but it is a tight fit under the bed. You need to be aware of the bedding that you use on it, nit too fluffy.It is a good bed for guests and sized well for smaller rooms. Good construction and amazingly film mattresses. We use it in a guest room and our grandchildren finally like having their own bed.

Yes, the parent unit is definitely portable. I take it with me to the backyard all the time!

Yes, its easy to roll and not heavy at all. It doesn't have a lot of space inside though.... just my thoughts

Yes, it's very easy. Only takes a minute or two and then you can fold up the mattress and get it into its carry bag without effort!

I think it is sturdier than that. I really like the crib. We use it with our 13 month old grandson, and he is heavy, too.

Definitely heavier than a standard crib mattress but totally manageable. When I change the crib sheet I generally pull out one end and lift the whole thing on top of the crib to rest diagonally so I don't have to hold it up while also wrangling the sheet. This makes the weight not an issue for me.

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 daughter in-law has used this for approx a year. Eventually you'll need a crib when the child is older.
