I bought this bed for my 3 year old for travel/vacations. He had been using a toddler travel bed, but he would roll over the sides of it and end up on the floor. This bed blows up within a minute with the electric pump (enclosed) and is a breeze to deflate. This bed comes with a cover, so your child isn't laying on plastic. The cover comes off for easy washing. This bed will take standard twin sheets, so no expense of buying special sheets. My son loves it so much that he will ask to sleep in this instead of his regular bed.

Original Review:

Note - mattress cover is not as pictured - the one we received had a cute stars and moons pattern on it. Very adorable, but not pure white as shown.

We recently bought a second one of these Aerobeds for our younger child. We use this whenever we are sleeping away from home - so often we stay with relatives and there aren't enough beds for everyone kids included. We used to use a typical full size adult air mattress for them, but when you get near the edge of a regular mattress, you tend to roll off and the kids would constantly be falling off. The dip in this makes it rollproof, and the smaller size is great for being able to tuck them beside a bed or wherever there is space when visiting grandma's house or going on vacation!

Blowing it up is quick and easy - the included pump blows the whole thing up in less than a minute. It rolls back up easily too and stows neatly in the included bag.

My kids are 4 and 2, and I'm thinking we can easily use these for many years to come before they will be outgrown. Heck, I could probably sleep on it, as I sleep curled up on my side.

Edited Review 4 years later - I bought these mattresses in 2007, we have used them lots, for camping as well as every time we visit the grandparents. We tell them not to, but the kids walk over them, jump on them, they still are going strong. My daughter is now 8, and is over 51" tall and my son is 6 and is 48" tall and they both still fit fine in them, since they tend to curl up as they sleep (at this point if they lay completely flat and straight their feet are on the end of the bed. I have no plans to replace them yet!

We bought this bed for another toddler that was staying with us for a week. My daughter insisted on sleeping in it as soon as it was filled and ready to sleep on, and she still rather sleep on it instead of her very-cool big girl bed!!

Bed is easy to inflate, and inflates in seconds. Comes with a soft, plush cover which secures on with elastic straps (very neat feature) so it won't come loose during the night. Raised sides prevent falling out. Deflates in seconds, folds nicely into the provided bag.

We have definately gotten our money's worth! Looking forward to using it when we travel. Highly recommend!!

This bed is an excellent product. I was recently very worried about travelling and leaving my 3 and 5 year old kids at my parents house for 2 weeks as they are always reluctant to spend the night there. They would have to accomodate on someone else's bed or on a couch , so there would be no sense of security while mom was gone. I bought these beds to give them a sense of belonging and ownership. Since it is deflatable you don't have to worry about it taking any space except while they are actually sleeping. They were ecstastic to realize they had their own beds and could take them to any sleepover in the future. The inflating and deflating is a piece of cake for any grownup and is extremely exciting for kids watching a piece of plastic turn into a bed in less then a minute. The bed is very sturdy yet very comfy since you can adjust the air pressure easily. The size is perfect and the included bedsheet with the star print is really cute and gives the bed a warm feeling. When deflated it goes in the included drawstring bag along with the bedsheet and air pump. Even the kids are able to haul the bag around. Now my kids love to spend the night at my parents just to get a chance to use the beds!

I bought this aerobed for travel when our destination did not have a crib or pack-n-play. I wanted something lightweight, sturdy and that would last a long time. I felt a pack-n-play was too heavy to transport and kids outgrow them too fast. The aerobed, in my opinion, was the perfect solution. My daughter loves this bed and we take it anytime we go out of town, especially to grandma and grandpas.
PROS: Bumper prevents child from rolling over/falling off bed
Electric pump makes inflation/deflation super easy and fast (< 1 min)
Comes w/carrying case that holds everything in size of a large backpack
Comes w/Fleece crib sheet that attaches to bed with elastic
Holds up to 150 lbs
CON: Instructions say it is for children aged 3+ but I use it with my 15 month old. I began using it when she was 1 year old and I don't feel it is a safety hazard b/c she cannot roll over the bumper.
Excellent product.

Bed says it's for 3 and up, but works great for traveling with our 19-month old. Our son refused to sleep in the pack-n-play and we weren't getting much sleep when he slept in the bed with us, so we found this to be a fantastic alternative. We've used it for local trips to visit family and also our first family vacation at a cabin in Tahoe. We were able to pack it in our luggage and fly it with us. Trick is to make sure it's confined. To keep our little guy in one place, we usually place the aerobed between a wall and the adult bed (making sure it's snug enough that he can't get caught between the bed and wall, but not too snug to burst the bed). We especially love the raised sides which keep safe and snug.

We purchased the AeroBed for a trip to Maine. Our 3 year old daughter loved it. We have since used it as a spare bed when little cousins are spending the night with us. The bed is very easy to inflate and when you are done with it, it deflates and stores away in the included bag. I have read some other posts where people are complaining about the price. I thought $70 was a fair price to pay. I have purchased lesser quality air matresses for myself and with proper care, they are still usable. If you take proper care of this quality bed it should last several years.

UPDATE: April 14, 2008. The bed (or trampoline, as my daughter prefers to treat it) has been on many trips and has taken quite a beating. It still inflates quickly and holds the air until we decide to let it out. It is well worth the money.

Happy with this product overall. More expensive than kid's camper mattress & like products, but worth the price. Much better quality than Dora bed, for example. Very easy to inflate, deflate and store. Great for travel or sleepovers. Flannel mattress pad (inclu) is fine for colder months, but way too hot in summer. Also, mattress squeaks when she moves, so not ideal if you are light sleeper or if you have another child in room who is light sleeper.

Previously, I had used a toddler travel bed, not an air bed. The Toddler Travel Trundle was very uncomfortable for the kids, so I tried this. It worked very well and was much more comfortable. The pump is very heavy, so is the deflated bed, so we mailed it to our destination ahead of time.

I have to say I am very impressed with the Aerobed we purchased. My daughter is only 19 months and hasn't quite figured out that you sleep on it (we've been using the pack n play on vacation until she's comfortable sleeping without sides). It's easy to assemble and easy to put away. My husband was doubting that it would fold back up easily, but it truly does. The cover that comes with it is so soft too! Would definately recommend this product.
