4.0 out of 5 stars Great product (with minor issues), August 4, 2010

I bought the green PeaPod for my 9 month old daughter to sleep in during our family vacation. We were flying and I didn't want to take her bulky pack-n-play. I read the reviews and researched the product quite extensively before finally making the decision to purchase it. Overall, I am very happy with the PeaPod and would recommend it to friends. Below, I have given my positives and negatives.

Positives:
1. Easy to open and close
2. Compact and fits nicely in a suitcase
3. Self Inflating (to a point)
4. Easy access to get child in and out
5. Spacious (even for my very long and chubby baby)
6. Love the color

Negatives:
1. Opens quickly and could cause injury to anyone standing close enough.
2. In order to make the self inflating mattress more firm, I had to blow it up myself.
3. There isn't a convenient way to put a sheet on the bottom of the PeaPod without having the sheet/blanket get tangled up by the child. I ended up puting a pack-n-play sheet around the mattress and placing it inside the PeaPod, rather than in the compartment that it was supposed to go in (outside and underneath the PeaPod).
4. If you have a baby that is rolling over already, you will have to have the baby zipped in. My daughter rolled out of the PeaPod every time I put her inside, so I didn't have the option of keeping it unzipped.
5. The zipper is noisy and will probably wake up the baby if she/he is asleep when put inside. It didn't bother my daughter, who went right back to sleep, but I could see where it might be an issue for some babies.

5.0 out of 5 stars Skip the "pack'n'play" and get the POD, August 31, 2009

I originally got online to search for a baby tent to use at the beach, and then my eye fell on the pea pod travel bed. I got it in the mail just in time for a weekend music festival, where it more than proved its worth. We used it in the pop-up camper for bedtime, outside in the shade during naps, and even took it down for the baby to lay/play in while we listened to music. Very light and portable, I found it easy to fold, and although I bought it for my 3month old baby, my three year old found it novel and took a couple naps in it himself. Since then we've taken it to friends houses so we can put the baby to bed there, and she plays in it happily in the kitchen floor while I cook.... it's soooo much nicer/lighter/more space efficient to haul along than a pack and play. Not made exactly for beach cover, but it keeps her out of the sand and we drape a towel over or place the pod under the umbrella. Anyway, I am really happy with the functionability and travel-friendliness of this item.

i love the peapod! i would have given it 5 stars but i wish it came with a way to put a sheet down on the bottom, what i've done instead of putting the mattress underneath in the zipper compartment i would put it inside with a fitted sheet around it. all in all its a great product and my 14 month old still fits with room to spare.
