Summer Infant Travel Bed

Comments about Summer Infant Travel Bed:

I used this bed for a 5 day vacation with family. It worked great to help with sleeping arrangements since we were limited on what we could pack for the toddlers' and babies' beds. I used the travel bed in bed with me for my two month old who wakes often to feed. I also used it to put in various rooms during the day so she had a place to lay/sleep in whatever room we were hanging out in. I even put it in the bathroom to keep an eye on her while I showered! Lightweight, folds up small, and easy to transport. Love it!

I purchased this bed a few days before flying with my 3 1/2 month old across the country and then to Asia. I cannot say enough good things about this little life saver! After our flight got cancelled and we spent a day in the airport, I used this for the baby to lie down and nap or play with the dangling toys on the toy bar. He really loved it. On the plane, I used it to put on the seat next to me (I flew in the first class cabin so the seats are extra wide and long) and baby slept in it for 11 straight hours on a flight to Hong Kong! It was so light-weight and easy to travel with. It really is an amazing product. I would say the only negative that I had with it was that as baby becomes older, he can easily pull the toy bar off of the bassinet since there is nothing to lock it in place. Otherwise, I love this and totally recommend it!

I got this thinking I would need it and it turns out to be just a frivolous extra. For changing on the go, I just carry an extra receiving blanket and for naps, a blanket on the floor works just as well as this bed. Never used it! I returned it for something more useful. I could see how it could be useful to others but was superfluous for us.

I registered for this item and kept it in its packaging thinking I would probably not use it and would return it. I had gotten it as a "just in case" item, and thank goodness I did! My little guy weighed 6lbs when we brought him home from the hospital and I could not imagine leaving him in his big crib, or even his pack 'n play that all made him look so tiny! I wanted him by my side, and this is what this bed allowed me to do. During the day it sits on the couch as his bed so I don't have to go up and down the stairs, at night I used it in my bed for the first three weeks, and its super easy to fold up and take to grandma's or anywhere. It has these little pockets on the side which are perfect for pacifiers, nipple cream, and anything else.

This bed is not sturdy, and is not meant to be. It's a temporary napping place. The toy bar is cute but silly and I'm not sure where I tucked it because its not very useful. What it does provide is a safe, lightweight, convenient place to sleep that is not in a swing/bouncy chair. I am a believer that you don't want a little one getting used to sleeping on anything but a flat surface for long naps to prevent problems transitioning to the crib later down the line. This item is perfect for the first few months and worth every penny since it allowed me a little peace of mind.

I got this in my baby registry...it has nice color scheming, easy to fold and can be placed anywhere in home like living room, bedroom or even can use outside as changing sheet...the bad part is that it should have sturdy handle like bassinets so can be handle along with baby.....the drawback is that if baby is sleeping in it and you have to move in other room first you have to hold baby and this bed separately as there is no handle to move it with baby weight....

We plan to use this product when we are traveling and are not home during nap time when we would go visit family we would hall our big pack and play I am so excited to take this instead. Also I plan to use it as a changing table in the back of our car. I love how it folds into a bag that you carry on your shoulder it also pops out super easy into the bed.

Things that are not so great is the padding isn't super comfortable which isn't a big deal we will just put a blanket underneath the baby and it isn't super sturdy you can't carry it around with the baby in it which again isn't a really big deal those are the only negatives I can think of.

When I got this I thought I was going to return it for more "useful" items... SO glad I didn't!!!! For my newborn, it's 10 times better than a bassinet or little crib. I can put it in our room, place it in bed with us, make the crib a smaller feel, take it outside... IT'S WONDERFUL!!!! Super easy, obviously very portable (so much more so than the pack-n-plays) and has got plenty of room to be a great travel/move around the house bed for my little one for months to come. This is a GREAT buy!!!!
My only additional preference to it might be a little sturdier frame so that I could pick it up with baby in it (like a moses basket) but the convenient portability of it outweighs this for me.
LOVE IT
