After a lot of research and reading reviews we decided to purchase the Baby Björn (BB) Travel Crib for our recent trans-Atlantic trip. The BB was intuitive and easy to set up. Additionally, the high sides make it a better fit for us, as our 1 1/2 yo child is in the 90 percentile in terms of height and is quite tall for his age. The set up and take down was a snap and the mattress fit snugly into place. As other reviewers have stated, and I can attest from 3 weeks of road travel with our child, this crib is indeed as advertised and a dream for us while on holiday.
Additionally, our child felt very comfortable in the BB crib and we felt better knowing that the fabrics and materials our all certified Oeko-Tex Standard 100, class 1 for baby products. This guarantees that the fabrics are free from harmful and allergenic substances. This was also another consideration for us, as our child has very sensitive skin.
The crib also traveled well in the airplane and we were able to stow it in the overhead compartment on the plane and use it as a carry-on item. While on the road, the carry case was easy to transport from car to room and could fit in a variety of spaces. Moreover, if we were visiting friends or family, the crib was a snap to set up for our son to take an afternoon nap or go to bed if we stayed up late.
I read all the lower rated reviews and I cannot understand how this product would get a rating of less than 4 or 5 stars. We were so impressed by the functionality, easy transport, and versatility of this travel crib that I was inspired to write this review, based on first-hand experience. We had peace of mind knowing that the fabrics were safe for our child, the high sides made it comfortable and secure for our child to stand up, and the breathable sides let us monitor him for a quick peek if needed.
We also purchased the fitted sheet, which was also very handy. I would highly recommend this crib for anyone with a toddler on the tall side and families that like to travel lightly. I would gladly purchase the BB crib again and highly recommend it.
