Sturdy, Lightweight Crib is Perfect for Travel
The lightweight construction of the Travel Crib Light 2 makes traveling hassle-free for parents. Weighing less than 11 pounds (including the case), the crib is easy for any adult to carry around the house, pack into a car, or carry through an airport.

Measuring 45 x 31.5 x 25.5 inches (L x W x H), the crib has a uniquely compact design that features a base with slanting edges. This means the crib stands firmly and doesn't wobble, even if little ones are standing up or if older siblings are leaning against it. The see-through mesh panels on the sides allow parents and caregivers to keep an eye on their sleeping tot.

Provides Cozy, Waterproof Sleeping Quarters
Made of soft fabric, the Travel Crib Light 2's insulated mattress is both cozy and roomy, creating a restful environment for your child wherever they happen to be. It also comes with a removable, waterproof cover, which helps protect against leaky diapers.

Sets Up, Takes Down and Transports Easily
Assembly of the Travel Crib Light 2 is an easy task. Especially convenient after a long day of travel, the crib takes seconds to set up or take down. Just remove the Travel Crib Light 2 from its travel case and unfold the frame -- no pushing, pulling, or locking of rails is necessary -- the legs will automatically set and lock in place. Once the frame is set-up, simply place the mattress in the bottom and you are set for sleep.

When traveling by car, the crib folds up small enough to take along in the trunk. For airport travel, you can easily pack it into a larger suitcase or carry it like a bag using its handy carrying case with a sturdy canvas handle.

Features Safe, Easy-to-Clean Materials
All of the fabric and materials used in the Travel Crib Light 2 are Öeko-Tex Standard 100 Class 1 certified, which means they are guaranteed to be safe and free of any harmful substances. The cotton mattress cover and fabric on the exterior of the crib are removable, machine washable, and smooth on your child's skin.

The BABYBJÖRN Fitted Sheet (sold separately) is a perfect fit for the Travel Crib Light 2.

4.0 out of 5 stars Baby Bjorn vs Phil and Teds travel cribs - which is better? December 2, 2011

By Justbooking TOP 1000 REVIEWERVINE™ VOICE

Color Name:Blue

I have two Baby Bjorn travel cribs for my baby twins and a Phil & Ted travel crib for my older child. Which one is better for air travel? Which one for car travel? There is a difference.

BABY BJORN

The BabyBjorn travel crib can't be beat for use at home and for car travel, as it can be set up and disassembled in about 30 seconds. We use American Baby Company Value Jersey Knit Porta-Crib Sheet, Celery, and it fits the mattress perfectly, at a fraction of the price of the Baby Bjorn crib sheet. My son sleeps in the travel crib almost every night and seems comfortable, as the mattress is fairly thick and has no bars underneath like a pack n play would. However, at 33", I think he'll outgrow it in a few months as there is not a lot more room lengthwise (the mattress is 24" x " 41", the dimensions given in the description are for the outside). *** Please note that the mattress is on the soft side and may not be suitable for newborns or babies that cannot roll over on their own ***

The material of the crib is also worth noting. It's soft and cottony and has stayed like new after daily use.

Why not five stars? The Baby Bjorn travelcrib is also lot larger folded up than the Phil & Ted's. I wouldn't use it for air travel if you want to minimize the amount of luggage - it's bigger than a carry-on and may have to be checked - call ahead to check carry on dimensions allowed and if you can gate check it (new restrictions may apply). I also doubt the fine zippered bag it comes in will hold up to baggage handling. It's also way too expensive - it costs almost as much as my son's Bonavita hardwood crib!...

PHIL & TED'S

The phil&teds Traveller Crib, Black on the other hand is a great travel crib for air travel as it folds up very small, is super lightweight, and fits into any suitcase or duffle - I think you could even fit two cribs in without any problems in terms of size or weight. However, it does take about 15 minutes to set up and to disassemble and fit into the small bag it comes in. So plan ahead, practice at home, have your child sleep in it a night or two so they get used to it if possible, and bring along the manual, just in case. Set it up as soon as you get to your destination - you don't want to do this later on with a tired crying child.

The self-inflating mattress on the P&T is long and narrow, similar to those used for camping. We put the mattress inside and used regular crib sheets on it and tucked them well underneath (the newest model has a vinyl sleeve to put the mattress into). It will probably work for kids up to age 3, as any older, they may not like being confined in a smallish space. My two-year old child slept well in it on long trips and it still looks new after much use, with a material that is easy to clean.

Although harder to set up and dismantle, I found the Phil & Ted to be great quality, super compact and much less expensive than the Baby Bjorn travel crib. It's also likely that I'll be using it longer than the BB, as it's more compact and can be used outdoors as well.

In a nutshell, both are good but with some disadvantages - the Phil & Ted crib is better for air travel and indoor/outdoor use, while the BabyBjorn one is better for home and car travel. Regardless of which you go with, it may be a good idea to put your kids in their stroller or bouncy seat while you assemble either one of these (like the KidCo GoPod Portable Activity Seat - Pistachio. You don't want little fingers in the way.

If you are considering the Kidco Peapod - beware. The sides are made of non-breathable material and it's easily malleable. A 5 month old child tragically suffocated in a PeaPod last December (see March 27, 2012 review from Christine Whelan, the mother, for the Kidco PeaPod Plus Indoor/Outdoor Travel Bed - Red - see links under comments).

Finally, once your kids outgrow these travel cribs, consider getting the excellent AeroBed Sleep Tight Inflatable Bed for Kids. It works well for kids three and over, with built in side and end rails, sheets, detachable electric pump and storage bag with shoulder strap. It's very comfortable, easy to clean, can be used at home for sleep-overs and is great for trips. Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 stars Simplistic Comfort February 3, 2012

By Sporty mama

Color Name:Silver|Amazon Verified Purchase

Bought this Wednesday, received it Friday. I had read all the reviews and watched the video, so I knew how it worked. We had been out for a long adventure and had just gotten home when I saw the box. I was going to lay my 34", 30 lb 11 oz 19 month old down for her nap. I thought, should I try the new travel bed? well I whipped it out in a few seconds, added a soft crib sheet on the mattress, rocked her a few moments and laid her down (sleepy, but awake). She bunched up her knees took a little notice of her new surroundings and then snuggled in and I haven't heard a peep! I debated about buying this because of the price and because we are not sure if we will have more children. At best we will get 1-1.5 years use out of it. Here is why I bought it. We travel a lot and mostly are fortunate to have a real crib for our babies, but we do cruise and stay in hotels too. I hate pack n plays for sleeping. They are fine to play in but I have had my kids pull up the mattress (when ill fitted on cruises) and end up sitting on the hard bars below! They also don't sleep well in them, and I am convinced it is because they are so much less comfy than their crib mattress.

So I wanted my little girl to sleep great on our upcoming trip... so I bought this and am already impressed that she went down in something new so easily! It is not super small, but easily can fit in a suitcase or be carried on board if needed. I was worried that it might not be long enough for my tall girl, but she has 10 inches total to spare top to bottom, a little more if she is at an angle and she often sleeps curled up. So I am anticipating happy sleeping for the whole family on our vacation which means a happy mama!! I just wish I had bought this for my first child.... We used whatever was available when we traveled (hence the pack n play incident). We bought a pea pod last year for my daughter and it was fine for a new born to 9 mo (she was a late crawler), but has its disadvantages for mobile babies (it made lots of noise when she moved around, you cannot put a sheet on it so they have to sleep on the tent material, you cannot put the entire thing in the wash, and there is no way to secure it to the floor to kkep it from flipping over if baby rolls or crawls onto the side). Wish I had just bought this BB instead!! hope this helps if you are deciding if it is worth the extra cash. I feel it is the BEST option out there, birth till 3 hands down!! Read more ›

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent portable crib October 13, 2011

By Dumpling

Color Name:Silver

This is very lightweight and super-easy to put together. Much more practical than most other travel cribs because it has fewer components and it is more portable. Another big advantage: it is big and deep, so the child can use it until toddlerhood. So even though it's pricier than other models, it will also outlast them. My other portable crib, which is a pack'n'play type, is already too small for my 6-month old. The Babybjorn is also nice to look at, with clean lines--we keep it in our living room so we have a place to put baby in addition to her crib. My only complaint--although I don't know that it could be solved--is that it is very deep, so for someone short like me, it's hard to put baby down and pick baby up. If you're tall this is probably not an issue! Still worth it.

after using a pack n' play for my first daughter ... the baby bjorn travel crib is SO much better. it's easier to put up and take down ... literally two seconds to pop it open and another two seconds to throw the mattress in. speaking of the mattress, that's exactly what it is. not the hard, flat, uncomfortable "pad" they use in the pack n' play. the baby bjorn's is actually soft and comfortable. definitely recommend this product!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic! November 10, 2012

By M. Weber

Color Name:Silver|Amazon Verified Purchase

Before this crib we dreaded traveling with our daughter because she would not sleep in the other travel crib we had. Out of desperation we ordered this and it is amazing! We've had it several months now and she always sleeps and naps in it. It's easy to set up and put away even when it's just the two of us. Worth the money
