After much research into cribs and portacribs, we decided to go with the Baby Bjorn Travel crib fir both home and travel (we travel a lot). I couldn't find any reviews from people who used this crib as the primary crib before our purchase, so it was a bit of a gamble but we went ahead. It was a fantastic decision - our baby loves the crib and sleeps very well in it both at home and in hotels.
It is SO easy to assemble and pack up, you don't even need to read the instructions! It is a little on the small side, but our 3 month old who is very long has plenty of room, and I think it will fit her for many more months. Besides, it is the compact nature that makes it so portable. We want her to associate the crib with sleep, so she doesn't use it as a play area, it might seem a little on the small side if you wanted it for play. The mattress is quite thin, but she is certainly comfortable, and it has a waterproof cover so no stains.
There are no baby bjorn crib sheets available at this point (I'm sure eventually they will come) but we found the Koala Kids Cotton Play-yard sheets fit fine (they are wider and not quite long enough but somehow they end up fitting very well)
In the packed up state, it is about the size of an art portfolio, and weighs less than 11 pounds, so it is very easy to carry. We have not taken it on a commercial flight yet, so cannot comment on whether it fits into overhead bins, We also find that we can leave a sheet on the mattress and fit a blanket into the case with the crib, so it is ready to go when we arrive (no frantic unpacking of suitcases to find the swaddle blanket!)
We are so happy with our purchase of this crib, and for our small house and constant travel it is a godsend. Highly recommend.Get more detail about BABYBJÖRN Travel Crib Light Blue.
