I may have to nab one myself.</p> <p>Regarding a PNP mattress, when we go to my parents' house LO sleeps in one with a cotton pad and thick quilted sheet on the regular PNP pad. Seems to be enough cushion for him that way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommed-a-travel-crib#post-975342 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 11:41:58 +0000 PurpleUnicorn 975342@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Yoyo: thanks! oh and i liked your idea of getting a pnp mattress to put in. I am going to check that out too and decide between the two :)</p> <p>I just found this on amazon:</p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B000O7SR8Q/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&#038;psc=1&#038;smid=A3DWYIK6Y9EEQB" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B000O7SR8Q/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&#038;psc=1&#038;smid=A3DWYIK6Y9EEQB</a></p> <p>reviews say it fits the baby bjorn really well. So if i decide to go for it, i might get this sheet since it is $7 versus the $50 bjorn sheet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommed-a-travel-crib#post-975317 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 11:35:55 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 975317@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PurpleUnicorn: I know, the added cost is annoying since it is already pricey. Re: bugs, I've never used it outside but I would think it would block them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommed-a-travel-crib#post-975277 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 11:27:35 +0000 PurpleUnicorn 975277@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Yoyo: hmmm, that is annoying, because the sheets add a signifcant cost i find :( But thanks for the tip on using a regular sheet. I'll try that first if i decide to go for it.</p> <p>Another question about the Bjorn - does the mesh sides block bugs/mosquitoes from going through? The current play yard we have seems like it does not, so that would be more incentive to buy it. (I am planning to go check it out in person later today, but wanted to know some personal experience with this). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommed-a-travel-crib#post-975259 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 11:23:30 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 975259@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PurpleUnicorn: it is separate. We have one but I've also used a standard crib sheet shoved tightly under the pad without issue. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommed-a-travel-crib#post-975233 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 11:16:59 +0000 PurpleUnicorn 975233@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i am looking into buying the baby bjorn - does it come with a fitted sheet for the mattress or do I have to buy that separate? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommed-a-travel-crib#post-974345 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 05:07:37 +0000 PrincessBaby 974345@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the baby bjorn crib and love it...It is expensive and I was able to find it on CL in basically new condition for $150, but I also saw them on Ebay going (gently used) for $150. Even at $150, I was like, "Is this worth so much more money than a pack and play?" And the answer is yes. It is. My LO has been sleeping in it since mid-june while we're in a summer rental waiting to move into our house on Aug 19th. We sleep trained her in the Baby Bjorn and everything, and she sleeps 12 hours a night in it plus naps. The mattress seems like it's pretty comfortable:) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommed-a-travel-crib#post-974344 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 04:58:16 +0000 Ginabean3 974344@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Bee: just looked at the lotus crib...way cool, love how it's a backpack carry on! Thanks for sharing, we've been looking for something like this! The baby bjorn looks cool too but I thinking like the portability of this better... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommed-a-travel-crib#post-974297 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 00:44:15 +0000 lamariniere 974297@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We also have the Bjorn. Didn't get it until LO was about 22 months though and he was already a good sleeper, so no problems there. It is by far the easiest one to assemble and break down. It also travels really well. Ours has been to Asia and a few places in Europe. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommed-a-travel-crib#post-974134 Mon, 29 Jul 2013 21:44:41 +0000 matador84 974134@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>another bjorn lover as well for reasons pp mentioned! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommed-a-travel-crib#post-974125 Mon, 29 Jul 2013 21:37:46 +0000 autumnlove 974125@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Another fan of the Baby Bjorn crib! I was sold on it after I read one of @Mrs. Yoyo's blog posts about traveling with a LO! :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommed-a-travel-crib#post-974111 Mon, 29 Jul 2013 21:28:45 +0000 Mrs. Bee 974111@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>the new lotus crib looks cool. we have the gocrib by the same company and absolutely love it. it seems so comfy and it fits in your carry-on. it's my fave for traveling.</p> <p>we also have the breeze and it really is awesome, but it is pretty heavy for travel (at least as heavy if not heavier than the pack n play).</p> <p>the baby bjorn crib is also really nice, but you have to check it in on a plane. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommed-a-travel-crib#post-974109 Mon, 29 Jul 2013 21:27:11 +0000 lilyann 974109@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the lotus crib by Guava Family and we absolutely love it! No complaints here! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommed-a-travel-crib#post-974100 Mon, 29 Jul 2013 21:20:31 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 974100@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Another Bjorn lover here. Kinda $$ but worth it if you travel a lot.</p> <p>Another idea, if you haven't already checked into it -- there are some PNP mattresses and pads (other than what's standard) that might make your LO more comfy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommed-a-travel-crib#post-974094 Mon, 29 Jul 2013 21:18:19 +0000 aprk 974094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>4moms Breeze - this is also what he sleeps in at home </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommed-a-travel-crib#post-974092 Mon, 29 Jul 2013 21:17:10 +0000 yin 974092@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love the Baby Bjorn travel crib. It's so lightweight and the mattress is more comfortable. I wouldn't mind sleeping in it if they made an adult version. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommed-a-travel-crib#post-974058 Mon, 29 Jul 2013 20:59:56 +0000 PurpleUnicorn 974058@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a graco travel pack n play, but L sleeps horribly in it. I am sure there must be a better option but don't know where to start. What does your LO sleep in when you travel? </p>
