One of the biggest challenges for parents, is getting their baby or toddler to sleep well away from home. A comfortable and portable infant travel bassinet or suitable toddler travel crib can be the key to your success. Having tried many baby travel sleep solutions during years of traveling with a baby, I learned that having a proper travel baby bed was one of the keys to a great vacation. Of course, not all travel beds for babies and toddlers are created equal. In this post, I will share with you my picks for the best travel bassinets, the best travel cribs and the best inflatable toddler travel beds, in terms of features, quality and value.

Portable Baby Crib and Toddler Travel Bed Buying Guide


Key Features for Baby Travel Cribs and Travel Beds for Toddlers:

  1. Lightweight —  Let’s face it — you are going to be toting this travel crib around, so it is advantageous to choose a lightweight travel crib, that doesn’t sacrifice other key features.
  2. Easy to Assemble — It could be late at night when you arrive at your hotel, vacation rental or Grandma’s house. Your baby or toddler will be tired and you don’t want to go to war with your portable travel cot. The best travel baby bed should set up as easily as promised by the manufacturer.
  3. Washable — Sh*t happens. It really does. I know this because my daughter once flung her full diaper around in a toddler portable crib, creating quite a nasty mess. While rarely necessary, when disaster strikes, a washable travel bed is a blessing.
  4. Breathable — For safety reasons, it is very important that a portable baby crib for travel or an infant travel bed have proper venting and breathable fabric.
  5. Travel Bag – While not essential, it certainly is nice when a portable baby bed or toddler travel crib comes in a lightweight, easy-to-carry, travel bag. It’s so much nicer than trying to shove a travel baby crib into a green garbage bag.

10 best baby carrier backpacks Parents will know all too well how lugging little ones around can become a bicep-burning slog, but if you want to make it a lot easier on your body pop them in a backpack carrier. These over-the-shoulder holders are intended for toddlers and best for where terrain is too tricky for buggies or for saving your spine on long-haul hikes. They’re built to bear heavier loads, will free-up your arms and are a worthwhile investment when kids get too big for front carriers and swinging legs land in unwelcome places. Backpack carriers fall into two categories: framed and unframed. Framed carriers are bulky, more expensive and make you feel like the Buckaroo mule but they do a better job at distributing weight and are sturdier with a comfortable, elevated position for tots. Non-framed carriers are just fabric so much cheaper and much lighter, but without frame support the child sits lower and weight can pull on you more. You also don’t get all the fanc...

Best Baby Bottles 2017 6.  Philips AVENT Natural Baby Bottles . About $4-5 per bottle (you can get them in 4oz or 9oz sizes). Philips AVENT bottles have been around for a long time now, but they are an innovative company that keeps improving their bottles to accomodate changing needs of moms and emerging research. The Natural series of AVENT bottles is no exception, and is a great all-around baby bottle option. The base and nipple are quite similar in form and function to the Tommee Tippee, but with slightly narrower nipple base, and narrower overall screw base as well. We found that the nipples were soft and compliant, promoted comfortable and fast latch-on, and the twin-valve venting system was quite good at preventing air swallowing, gas, and colic. The twin valves are unique to the others on this list, with tiny slits at the very far edges of the nipple that help air get into the bottle to prevent a vacuum forming. The reasonably wide nipple base promotes a relatively real...
