Question Travel crib/air travel?

heartmama · Aug 9, 2012

Does anyone have a travel crib they take on a plane (to be used at destination) that they could recommend and how you packed it? I saw a Phil and Teds traveller on NBD but then talked myself out of it and of course it's gone now. Thanks!

We have the GuavaFamily GoCrib. We have had it since our first son was 3 mo ths old and have flown with it at least 16 times. We love it and so does he. It collapses into a backpack so you bring it right on the plane with you. We tried the Bjorn crib and Phil & Ted's crib first but there were things I didn't like about both of them. Bjorn is too big to be carried on, thus I have to pay extra to check it and its larger to lug around. P&T was loud and too flimsy to me. We love our GoCrib and haven't regretted the purchase at all.

We have a Graco smaller sized Pack and Play. Mostly we've taken it on driving trips, but we did fly to Hawaii with it last year (my daughter was 8 months old and we needed a good containment option!). We found a larger box it would fit into that me the airline size requirements, and packed clothing in around it.

The Kidco Peapod is another foldable option, although it looks like they are currently out of stock a lot of places.

I just bought a Kidco peapod from someone in my local mom's group. We haven't used it as a bed yet, but we're taking it with us to Great-Grandma's house next week. I have put it up and it was really easy to do (even to fold up

). I had to put it away because all the kids wanted to do was play in it, but hey there are worse things than that! I have seen a couple on my local CL as well. It would definitely fit in an overhead bin, or even in a suitcase.

Decided to get a guava go crib vs the peapod after reading the reviews on amazon, also got a graco travel playard..next year is going to be a good test, I have high expectations of the gocrib since its pretty expensive, also got the mosquitoe net and sunshade and quilted mattress for it, darn things add up

We got a baby bjorn travel crib and I LOVE how easy and fast it is to set up. It could easily be checked in on a plane.

You will not be disappointed I promise. We have taken it to Grandma & Grandpa's, to Disneyworld, on a cruise, and many, many, many more places. I plan to use it around the house when our second son arrives in December as well as a safe place for him to get away from his big brother. We really, truly love it!!
