A baby travel bed is a portable crib that can double as a playpen and comes in different brands and prices. It may have a bassinet for young babies, a tent, and other features. It is ideal for traveling and can be used at home for napping or sleeping in small spaces.

A baby travel bed functions like a crib that can be folded easily for portability. These cribs often double as playpens for older children. There are many brands of travel cots and prices can vary widely. Some baby travel cots are easier to set up and take down than others. Most likely, a baby travel cot will come with a bag to store the cot folded and make it easier to transport.

Sometimes a travel crib comes with a crib for very young babies. These cribs usually hold a baby weighing up to 15 pounds (6.8 kg). A bassinet makes putting a sleeping baby down much easier because the parent won’t have to bend over as much, but it can be used after the baby can sit up on their own. When your baby outgrows the crib, the stuffing that was in the crib can be used in the bottom of the travel crib. An older child may sleep in the travel cot and have difficulty getting out.

Other features parents might find on a portable crib include diaper stackers and cellphones. The diaper stacker is convenient because diapers will be at your fingertips. A cell phone is a nice feature to keep young children entertained. Sometimes a baby travel cot will come with a tent that has a zipped enclosure. Some travel cots are fully open.

Parents most commonly use a baby travel cot when travelling. Cribs provided by some hotels may not meet safety standards, so using a portable crib can bring peace of mind in such cases. The ease and portability is ideal for parents who are often on the go.

Some parents use a baby travel crib in their homes. For example, if a house has two floors, it might be easier to let your child nap downstairs instead of putting them in an upstairs bedroom. Some parents prefer to let their babies sleep in their bedroom rather than a nursery. A baby travel bed is smaller than a standard crib and may fit better in a small bedroom. Also handy for nights when a child stays with their grandparents or during the day at the basitter’s house.
