Amazing crib - worth the money! June 21, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
Expensive, but worth it! This is the best portable crib out there! We had the Pea Pod, which was good until baby could sit up, and then it freaked him out that his head hit the top of the "crib" when sitting up (it's like a mini tent) Also, it was sort of annoying to fold up again after use. Looked into the Phil and Ted crib, but the setup seemed too painful when you need a crib in a hurry (same with the Pea Pod). The Bjorn crib sets up in 2 seconds - you remove it from the bag and it pops into place by itself. Folding is equally easy. Koala baby sheets do fit it well; especially the "deluxe play yard" sheet made of ultra plushy velboa fabric (it's listed as polyester but it's the super-soft plush fabric otherwise known as velboa). This sheet is a little longer than the cotton Koala baby sheets, though the cotton ones are fine, too. We sat in the Bjorn and read books to get our son used to the crib, and there was room for both me (a full-sized adult) and baby to sit in it and read! It was really comfy, too. Set up over a carpet for an even more comfy feel. I would buy this crib again in a second!
 Good Travel Cot June 19, 2008
9 out of 9 found this review helpful
The Baby Bjorn travel cot has been a worthwhile investment, especially for longer trips where we are flying to the destination and need to travel as compactly as possible (and pack-n-plays are too heavy and bulky to carry/check-in).
Advantages:
+ easy to set-up and shut-down
+ significantly lighter than a pack-n-play/playard to carry
+ thicker, more comfortable mattress pad in this Baby Bjorn (vs those in pack and plays), so the surface seems more comfortable for sleeping. Our 10-month old daughter has slept very well in it without requiring any 'socialization' with the crib in advance. (Bringing familiar toys, blankets and/or stuffed animals from home helps on the trip to make the new sleeping area seem familiar)
Disadvantages:
- there aren't any sheets manufactured for this crib, so we are using a standard crib sheet and tucking it in around the sides
- the mattress is waterproof (good), but with only a cotton sheet covering it, the baby tends to perspire when sleeping for a long time on the mattress. We made the set-up more breathable by putting a blanket over the mattress (under the sheet -- to act as a mattress cover), and the blanket provided an additional layer that prevents the baby from sweating.
Suggestions: the sides of the cot are mesh, so recommend that you bring a few light-weight blankets to drape over the sides to make the crib dark if you have to co-exist in the same (hotel) room and want to have a light on, as well as block any drafts if there are doorways near the crib.
Overall, we recommend it and give 4 stars instead 5 only because of the lack of a sheet that is made to fit the dimensions of the mattress.
Wonderful crib June 19, 2008

This is a great travel crib - so well designed, like all good products - always from Europe it seems.
It actually seems to put itself together. you just open it - it kind of opens itself. VERY light, soft mattress, just wish it came with a sheet but I will find one I am sure. I just wish I had found this crib when my other two kids were babies.
Much better than Graco Pack N Play June 15, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This product is a joy to travel with. We used the Pack and Play from Graco a few times and looking back that thing is a huge, heavy plastic piece of junk.
Our baby sleeps better in the Baby Bjorn, it is easier to assemble (great for quick naps on the go) and our child absolutely loves it.
You can literally set this thing up in 2 minutes or less where the Pack N Play takes a while longer and requires a lot more assembling and back bending.
Traveling with the Baby Bjorn is also great as it's light and small. It fits easily in a trunk and can be checked on a plane or placed in an overhead bin if you want to use it in an airport at the Gate.
Great travel crib June 9, 2008
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
This is a great crib for travel. We have been using it with my son since he was 4 months. It is so much easier to setup, take down and carry than other cribs. My only issue is how low to the ground it is. I can understand having it that low if you use it for a playpen, however when placing a sleeping baby in it...you really have to bend over...be careful if you have a bad back. Otherwise, it is great!
