My baby hates the PNP mattress for sleeping overnight. Is this easy to fold and put in the back of an SUV for trip? Or is it too bulky w/the mattress?

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!

Yes it's easy, the mattress it's very thin so I don't think you'll have a problem with it.

I have a Dodge Caravan. We were able to fit the crib and mattress in the back BUT had to fold down the seat because it was just a little too wide for areas where the car had a natural curve. We too purchased another inch mattress from B.R.Us to put on top of it as it comes with a really thin almost PNPlay type mattress. We then also purchased a 3 inch that they make for it - note that everywhere on their packaging they say 2 inch mattresses can be used but not 3 - yet they only sell a 3. When I purchased it and called them I got voicemail and no return call back. We intend on using the 3 and keeping a watchful eye on him as he stands up. I have a Dodge Caravan.

This mattress is pretty firm and I don't think you'd get it rolled once it's unpacked. It's more like a traditional mattress. You could definitely fold it, but that would be it for storage. It IS high quality and I would definitely recommend it for comfort and durability and quality.

Yes you can fold it up flat and it has a fairly thin profile to take with you. The mattress is fairly thin so that the baby doesn't suffocate, but our child didn't like it because of the thinness of the mattress.

It does not fold easily, the factory uses a machine to fold for shipping. For something you put away nightly I would get an aerobed, I have one that I slept on for 2 years, it's really comfy and super easy to store away in a small space. Hopefully this helps.

It improves the comfort quite a bit but it does not make it as comfortable as a regular crib mattress. Our crib would not fit in our room though, so when we had our baby in our room for the first few months this made the pnp much nicer!

If you have a large trunk or Mini Van it may be ok. It does not "roll" up. Other than that it's not bad to sleep on.

It is a very comfortable and easy to fold and put away. This mattress is narrower than a twin size. Would recommend the next size up if not for a guest or teen/ sleepover.

We don't fold ours. It's pretty stiff but I think with a little work it could fold. I don't think it would be easy like thinner mattresses.

It does add a bit more length fir a full length foam mattress to fit in because it goes over the bumper bar. No extra floor but it works for us as we are tall. It is so much better than sleeping in the suv without it as it opens it right up and no mozzies. We also bought from the cheap auto shop scution cap sun screening for the windows and windscreen and we already have tinted windows. It is perfect for traveling to pull up over night or short camping trips. We love it.

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.

We had this item for few months now and our baby love it! The mattress is very decent, not to firm or flat. It does not have any folds on it. Our baby is 5 months now and this is the only product that she was able to sleep very well since we had it. I highly recommend this item especially with babies that has acid reflux. This item has an incline position as well as regular flat bed. By far, this is a great investment for us. I hope this helps.

I purchased the extra mattress that is about 3" thick and cost about $39. I didn't want my "little dolly" to sleep on the hard playard mattress that come with the Pack 'N Play. (I purchased it after I received the Pack 'N Play.) It will be okay for her in future when she is old enough to play but for sleeping I wouldn't want to sleep on a hard board with very little cushion. My granddaughter was past the bassinet stage when she came; however, I did get the pads and would have used them. The bassinet cover isn't that easy to remove. I just viewed Mark's answer and the mattress that I bought would cause no suffocation hazard. It is firm and my granddaughter had no problem with it.

We bought ours for our motor home couch sleeper. It's basically an air mattress with automatic inflate and deflate functions. I like that it's covered with "mattress" material. It is a stand alone mattress. I think it would be OK to place on top of a sofa bed, but too thick to fold away until you removed it. I've slept on it a few times and it feels fine to me!

It's like a mattress. But thin. You can fold it, but it won't stay. It will need to lay flat!

That's exactly what I've been using it for. I just adjust his head every so often to make sure it's supported because since this is on an incline, his head can slump down a bit sometimes. However, since you're feeding every 3 hrs you have plenty of opportunity to reposition. It's the only thing my newborn will sleep in. He wouldn't use the flat co-sleeper bassinet/pack and play we bought--I think because it made his stomach hurt because he couldn't get his burps out flat on his back. This is one of the few incline sleepers. It's very easy to pack from room to room.

The mattress pad for the bassinet is very thin, which is fine for a newborn. We never used the bassinet attached to the bed, instead we kept all four sides up and used it as a traditional bassinet just right next to the bed. I was always afraid I would toss some covers on my baby while I slept ( I get really hot and restless in the southern summer nigths down here). We also liked keeping it unattached from our bed so we could roll it around the house and use it for naps when he was a newborn. That way I could do laundry and he could be napping nearby.

The mattress is bulky and doesn't fold or roll well. That feature is part of what makes it nice and firm to sit on and sleep on. You can roll it and if it was tied with bungee cords or something strong you could store it that way but it would be really big...at least 3 foot in diameter.
