Summer Infant Travel Bed with Shoulder Strap

Image
Summer Infant Travel Bed with Shoulder Strap Why Shelly recommends it: Great for the airport and possibly even on the airplane. It starts out folded into a travel bag with a shoulder strap and bottle pockets on each end. Then, when you need a clean, safe spot for baby to stretch out while you await your flight, just unfold and the toy bar is already in place. What’s that? There’s NOT a changing table in the lavatory on your flight? No problem. This will give you a clean, workable surface with no-roll sidewalls to use either on the airplane seat, floor, or–if the toilet design suits–in the lavatory over the closed lid. Oh, right! And when you get to the hotel, you’ll also have a handy travel bed.

Snuggle Nest by Baby Delight

Image
Why Shelly recommends it: The very popular Snuggle Nest has been improved with new safety features, including ventilation through breathable sidewalls and an optional 1.5″ incline wedge to help elevate baby’s head–very helpful should a little nose get stuffy during your travels. Plays soft music or womb-like sounds and includes a convenient night light you’ll be glad to have when checking on baby in an unfamiliar hotel room. Cover can be removed and washed. What I don’t like about the new model is that the wrap-around bumper means it won’t last as longer for taller/longer babies, and the new “vented” side walls actually look less breathable than the earlier mesh used. Still, for travel with a swaddled infant, this may be just what you need. Open dimensions are 17.5 x 6.5″ x 18″. Folds in half for travel. Weighs 3.5 lbs.

The Peapod Plus Travel Bed

Image
The Peapod Plus Travel Bed Why Shelly recommends it: The Peapod Plus can be used from infancy well through preschool, and includes a lightweight sleeping bag. In addition to the UV mesh found in the smaller Peapod, the Plus also has roll-down nylon sides for added wind protection. Other differences: The poles used in the Plus are thinner and more lightweight than the very heavy-duty ones used in the original above, keeping its weight down, but at the cost of some stability (if you have rowdy rompers in the house, you may prefer the original Peapod). Travels at 19″ diameter and 6.5″ thick in its carrying case. Unfolds to 52.5″ x 34″ x 25″.

BabyBjorn Travel Crib Light

BabyBjorn Travel Crib Light Why Shelly recommends it: At 11 lbs. it weighs a little more than Phil & Ted’s full-size travel crib, costs around $100 more, does not include a zipping cover, and you probably won’t be able to use it as long (it also doesn’t offer the unzipped side self-access for older children). That said, the BabyBjorn Travel Crib Light is worth it to some parents for the 1-minute (or less) set-up time, space savings when folded and set-up, and eco-certified softer fabrics–every bit of which can be gently washed in the machine. In theory, the BabyBjorn Travel Light can be used for newborns up to around 3 years old (older children may be happier with the longer mattress of the Phil & Ted or Peapod Plus, both of which they can freely come and go from when they’re ready). Measures 32” x 44” x 24” set up, and is 19″ X 24″ X 6″ packed in its travel case. Find it online at:   Amazon.com The Peapod Travel Bed Why Shelly recommends it:  baby

Need recommendations for lightweight baby travel beds and toddler travel cots? Or sleeping solutions for traveling preschoolers? Scroll down to browse truly travel-worthy “travel cribs,” travel beds, travel-friendly co-sleepers, infant and toddler travel trundles, and portable bed rails. Travel beds with the greatest longevity (from minimum age to max) listed first. Phil & Ted’s Traveller Full-Size Travel Crib Why Shelly recommends it: It only weighs 7 lbs.–compare that with other play yards! Add to that its terrific versatility and its hard to find a better travel bed. Use it from birth on up through three years (or more), indoors and out. Breathable mesh panels let you take this to the park and beach just as easily as Grandma’s house (where rubber feet will protect her floors).  The self-inflating air mattress worksbaby girl toys baby bath toys toys for 3 month old best toys for 3 month old  28 top toys for christmas 2017 toys for christmas 2017  http://
