We have the original product without the mobile. We have used this constantly since we brought him home. We set it in an antique cradle to keep him safe during naps. Once he could raise up on his elbows, we moved it to the floor for naps. He is now 9 months old and crawling. He is able to get out of it when he wants to (which is hilarious to watch) so the floor is safest! We have traveled with it packed in a suitcase and in the car. We choose to take this instead of a playyard. It is so much easier and smaller. He is sleeping in it right now. I wish they had extra sheets to purchase for it since we use it so much. I'll get to making one with my sewing machine by the time he is in high school.

When I saw this bed while registering for baby items before my son was born I just thought, "What a pointless item. Why would you need that if you already have a playpen or Pack 'n' Play?" However, after many a visit with friends and family and a cranky sleepy baby that just could not go to sleep we went to Target and bought this bed.
This is hands down, one of the BEST baby items I own. When my son was still small we just kept this compact bed in the car. Whenever we went to friends houses we would just bring this bed and set it up on the floor of a spare quiet room. Our son enjoyed having his own familiar space to sleep in. I even took it to the laundromat with me and he was able to fall asleep in it while I folded laundry.
The mattress is rather flat but my son never seemed to mind. We usually brought some spare receiving blankets to cover the mat with since the sheet it comes with is pretty cheap. It made for quicker clean up too if he spit up in the bed. The pockets on the outside are generous and I kept 5 diapers and a thin box of wipes in the pockets at all times, (which came in handy when I'd forget the diaper bag) and it still fit nicely in the zip plastic packaging it comes in. He also enjoyed the toy bar when awake, but if you plan on toting the toy bar around with you just keep the plastic bag it comes in.
I really like this bed and it is among the items that I would purchase for other new moms. I often got comments from friends with older children that they wished they had had something like this when their kids were babies. There are other portable beds on the market but I think this one is just right for the price.
My son is now almost 9 months old and over 21 lbs and I have packed it away in exchange for the heavier, bulkier but bigger and sturdier Graco Pack 'n Play Playard with Bassinet in Rise and Shine. I miss having such a light convenient item for him to sleep in but alas, it will wait for the next baby.
I wouldn't recommend it for regular overnight sleeping but it works great for naps and visits with friends, it would also be great for camping with your small baby.

I have found this to be more handy than I anticipated. When using it as a bed at grandma's house it worked fine though I prefer the pack'n'play if I have the room, but I have had more use out of it in the swimming pool changing room. I can change my baby anywhere in there with a lot more security. Now when I am getting dressed I don't have to keep one hand on the little wiggle worm. I can't tell you how many "That's a great idea" comments I get.

We just used the travel bed for the first time and it works well. I especially like how compact it becomes when it is folded up. It fit easily into the suitcase and we didn't have to worry about where our baby would sleep when we stayed in the hotel. My only complaint is that the sheet is pretty rough at first, and it is going to require several washes to get it as soft as our baby is used to.

I bought the Eddie Bauer Infant Travel Bed for my niece who wanted it on her baby registry. Well the baby is now seven weeks old and she can take it every where with her.
The Eddie Bauer Travel Bed folds with ease and has a hanging toy bar to keep baby entertained. There are two toys on the bar.
The Eddie Bauer Infant Travel Bed is compact and portable. Much easier than lugging a pack and play around. The Eddie Bauer travel bed has a carry handle for easy portability.
It has a washable sheet. Which makes for easy cleaning.
When I talked to my niece about it she says she keeps it in the trunk of her car and takes it every where with her. When it is babies nap time just unfold and place baby to sleep. I vote A++++ on this product and will be purchising it again for other baby showers I have to atted this year.
Eddie Bauer has done it again by making a great product that is simple to use. Great for new Moms and babies.

Unfortunately my baby never liked this. I'm not exactly sure why, perhaps due to the fact that there is hardly any padding (hard mat) and the suides are a bit flimsy (which is to be expected given how compact and portable it is). We could never make use of it since he fussed and refused to sleep in it. Plus, it is really small, making it good only for small newborns. Otherwise your baby will touch the sides. We're trying the Baby Peapod tent thing now, hope that works better.

I bought this product for when we're visiting the grandparents and other family members. We'll set it up on a large bed and it works really well.
But I have the feeling that, was I to set it up on the floor, it would be way to hard for a little baby and not comfortable at all.
Even so, it's a lot more convenient than a stroller or a pack'n'play, since it's really portable and easy to assemble.

We got a lot of use out of this with our son. When he was a newborn, we used it as a bassinet in our bedroom. Then we took a couple trips with him when he was an infant, and this was much easier to pack than a portable crib or a playpen. We also kept it in the trunk of our car, and it came in handy if we were visiting friends or family -- we could just pull it out and he had a familiar place to nap. Overall, a great purchase.

The walls were not stable enough and my daughter ended up trying to collapse the wall. Also, we had to use extra blankets for the 'mattress' as the padding was not enough. Other than that, I loved it and we used it for 4 months!

This is great for travelng, but a little flimsy if your baby is heavy an can roll.
