Editorial Review

At a distance, this portable crib could be mistaken for the permanent variety. Up close, it's clearly something else: a smaller item altogether, with a 2-inch mattress and board that lift out and two locking latches. Pop the latches, and in less than a minute the whole thing folds up to a mere 6 inches wide. In this configuration, it can still be rolled on the four plastic casters (if care is taken that it doesn't fall over). Two of the casters lock. Although the board and mattress can be stored inside the folded frame, it's a pity the board isn't simply hinged, as in some competing models; this would make setup and storage slightly easier (and it would make dropping the board on a toe more difficult). Also, the locking latches are a little hard to figure out the first time; we've seen more traditional hardware that's simpler, equally safe, and easier to use. --Richard Farr

5.0 out of 5 stars Very happy with this crib, February 7, 2002

By

This review is from: Cosco Portable Crib - White (Baby Product)

We have two of these - currently one is at the home of each set of grandparents, and we're going to have to duke it out over which one has to give it up so it can come back to our house when the new baby is born. We bought a regular full sized crib for our daughter's room and we bought this second crib to go in our room when she was a newborn. Even though we lived in an apartment where space was cramped (and with a king sized bed) we were still able to fit this easily into our apartment master bedroom. It's much smaller than a full-sized crib, but still large enough to comfortably accomodate a child who needs to sleep in a crib. Our daughter moved out of her regular crib at around 17 mos, and she is starting to get tall enough now at 22 mos that I can tell she won't be in this one much longer either. This is a matter of how tall she is standing along the rails, though, NOT a matter of the length of the crib.

The metal construction on this crib is very sturdy and it's easy to fold up. One of the nicest features of this crib is that it fits through doorways without folding up, which has made it very convenient for times when we have guests and need to move the baby around or when, for whatever reason, we need to move her out of her room. Just thinking about trying to move our full sized crib anywhere outside of the room where it was assembled makes me shudder.

The mattress for this crib is a little [flimsy] and thin. Our daughter doesn't seem to have any complaints about it, but it doesn't seem as nice to me as a full sized mattress. Having said that, though, I will say that it sits on a board, so it doesn't need to have the built in support of regular crib mattresses, and it is also SO much easier to put sheets on than a regular crib mattress.

The other possible downside for this crib is that it is somewhat heavy. We did take it on vacation with us but it's not something you can fly with like a travel yard. Overall, though I have been much happier with this crib than with our travel yard. They just aren't in the same category. This is a "real" crib, and for the price it can't be beat. It doesn't have all the features of our regular crib (e.g. no drop side, etc) but we've been very happy with it overall, and honestly regular cribs are made much bigger than they need to be anyway. This crib, at about 3/4 the length of a regular crib is quite ample for our daughter still at 22 months, and she still sleeps in it every week when she visits Grandma during her naptime.

It's not the most beautiful of cribs (looks a little like an orphanage crib to me) but for at least several hundred dollars less than those beautiful cribs, I have no complaints!

Overall we've been very happy and are looking forward to using it with number #2 to keep him/her close to us at night for night feedings.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great alternative to a pack n play, June 28, 2003

I bought this because my daughter has hated the pack n play from day one. She is now 13 months old and it was a major battle at each travel destination. When we decided to leave her with grandma for a few nights we knew we needed a crib. This one is great because it is very sturdy. The folding locks take a bit of getting used to, but they work well. The mattress is thin and we purchased a mattress for it for about $20. I bought portable crib sheets at Babies R Us and they work great. My daughter sleeps in this like her regular crib and I think we will get a lot of use from it! It does fold nice and flat, but it is still large for the average car. We can put it in our Suburban. It would be nice if they made one that has sides that fold in half for storage, but no one does! I love this crib.

4.0 out of 5 stars Cute and convenient, April 5, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Cosco Portable Crib - White (Baby Product)

We bought this crib to put our baby in when we moved into a two bedroom home. Our daughter had grown out of her basinette, but we did not have a lot of room in our house and still wanted to have her with us in our room. This portacrib is the perfect solution. It is very sturdy, has great locks for safety, the wheels make it super easy to move from room to room, and it folds us to be stored in closet or under a bed. We thought we would be folding it up a lot because we didnt want to ruin the decor in our room, but it is very attractive--it reminds me a bit of an antique cast iron crib--and it rolls so easily that if we need to move it to get to something in our room, there is no problem. Further, it has a good enough mattress that we didnt feel we needed to buy another one. Out of all the portable cribs (evenflo, delta) we found this was the best buy and had the best options--the mattress adjusts to two heights, it rolls easily, looks good, and does not feel flimsy. This crib will last us a long time. Highly recommend it! The only drawback is that the sides do not drop down, but the crib itself is shallow enough that it isnt a big deal.
