THIS CRIB IS AMAZING! I know that it is soooo difficult to take another person’s word for it, but trust me – you won’t be disappointed! I was really apprehensive about spending so much money on a travel crib. We are currently living on student loan money, so I actually used birthday money to purchase this…it is the best birthday money I have EVER spent! I did so much research on travel cribs because I want to get my money’s worth. We didn’t want our pack n play anymore because we are adding to our family this year and will have three kids now – the pack n play takes up WAY too much room in the trunk, so I wanted something smaller. Plus, the pack n play is ridiculous with it’s cardboard mattress and bar right in the middle of their back. Here’s why you need this crib:
Weight, Size & Mattress:
When they say light – they mean it! It is so easy to lift and carry, which is a big deal because I’m pregnant and on the wimpy side. The pack n play is near impossible for me to get around. Also, the way in which it folds up is amazing! It fits into a brief-case shaped bag which is VERY durable and strong and fits much more easily when trying to pack for a trip. One of my favorite things is the mattress! It is so comfortable! It is actually soft (not too soft for newborns though). Definitely beats ANY pack n play mattress 100 to 1. By the way – I looked everywhere to find out if they sold sheets that fit the mattress because it is not the same size as a pack n play. When I called Baby Swede, they said that any standard crib sheet would fit. You could even just line it with a blanket if you wanted to. They should sell you a secondary mattress cover in case you need to switch them in the middle of the night, but you can probably get an extra one from the manufacturer. Another thing about the mattress size – it is 4″ longer than a pack n play and only 1″ shorter in width. Since your children grow length wise, this is ideal! My daughter is only two and already practically hits both ends in the pack n play…and she’s petite.
Set up & Take Down:
I know it sounds crazy, but the ease of use with this crib is what you will fall in love with! I know that all of you have struggled with your pack n plays in the past (or maybe a friend’s crib) in trying to figure out if you have to push the center down first – no! lock the rails first – no! arghh! Here’s what you do with this: take it out of the bag; unfold it (it will be folded in half); then simply turn it over and watch the legs and everything else just fall into place! Simply insert the mattress. It is so light, you do it all while standing up – no more back aches from bending over and reaching to lock rails and push down buttons. I had watched the video online so many times, I didn’t even have to read the instructions to figure it out. It literally took me 10 seconds to get it up. As if that wasn’t great enough! For take down all you do is turn the crib over (after removing the mattress) and pull each leg out and fold it in towards the center. Then you simply fold the crib in half and you’re done. This took me 30 seconds. No kidding!
Stability:
This was what I was MOST skeptical about. How on earth could something so light be sturdy enough? Baby Bjorn tested this specifically for stability. My 2 year old toddler cannot tip it over when standing inside the crib and she can’t even tip it over from the outside when it’s completely empty (let alone if there is another child on the inside). The tapered shape of it is what gives it such strength. You will NOT believe your eyes!
Comparison:
The only other crib that is this type of style is the Phil & Teds travel crib. DO NOT BUY IT! It IS $100 cheaper (which really drew my attention), BUT it does not even compare! It is meant for outside play such as the beach or park. Read the reviews – it has steaks to drive into the corners…does your house have sand floors? Because of this, it is completely unstable on solid ground (like hotel rooms). It is flimsy and is easily tipped over from inside and out. If you need something for a lot of travel (or even a little) – the Baby Bjorn is the one you want. There is a reason that it costs more – and it’s worth it! By far, the BEST baby purchase I have ever made!
Where to buy:
I researched this long and hard when I decided to go with it. Ebay RARELY has them listed, and when they are, they’re no cheaper. I did find it for $229 and up, however any place that had it a little cheaper did not have it in stock (it’s out everywhere!). BUT strollerdepot.com has them in stock and they ship immediately (I paid $245 – no tax). PLUS – they have FREE SHIPPING! Mine only took two days to get here (Utah to California) You really can’t beat that. They also had the best return policy. 30 days and you can return it, you just have to pay shipping and a 10% re-stocking fee…trust me, you won’t return it. Here’s the link:
http://www.strollerdepot.com/search/result.php
I hope this helps make your decision easier. I really did a lot of research on this and wanted to share it with everyone. I know it’s a big purchase, but it IS an item that will be used over and over again…about as much as a stroller for us. And that’s about what we paid for a stroller. You’ll love it!

Review by J. Earley for BABYBJÖRN Travel Crib Light , Blue
or in other works it’s extremely simple to set up. I’ll admit it, I didn’t even look at the instructions because it’s so intuitive. Try that with a pack-n-play that needs certain parts clicked in before others, etc.
Rating:
This travel crib is amazing! We tried setting up a pack-n-play, what a fiasco. The baby was screaming because he was so tired and I just couldn’t move fast enough setting the dumb thing up. The Baby Bjorn Travel Crib on the other hand sets up in under 10 seconds – really. I was absolutely amazed. It took very few brain cells to set up – like maybe 11
It takes up very little space in the car (the pack-n-play took up at least double the space). And you can take it on an airplane as a checked piece of luggage without it getting damaged. The mattress is thicker and more comfortable than other travel cribs. And another nice feature is that there isn’t a bar running under the mattress like the pack-n-play making it miserable for the baby.
The only problem I’ve seen so far is that the mattress doesn’t come with a sheet. But those are easy to come by so it’s not really been a problem.
All in all it’s a fantastic travel bed and we are very glad we spent the money and got the best on the market.

This crib is pretty much as advertised. It sets up in seconds (such a great feature for those late night hotel check-ins, no thought involved, just pull out and unfold) and is very comfortable. My daughter slept through the night in it (which she never does!).
However, a few thoughts.
1. The legs extend out and I kept tripping over them as I got out of bed (we had the crib next to me). Be very careful to remember the crib’s ‘footprint’ is wider than you think and those legs are trippy.
2.I was excited to see reviews that said they set the Bjorn crib up in the airport for their baby as when we travel overseas it’s a day and a half of travel to our destination with lots of layovers. I initially thought the crib was small enough to be a carry on. Now that I have it, I think it’s too wide for overhead compartments on a plane. I think we’ll have to check it.
3. Supposedly this crib can be used for several years, however, the Bjorn is a mini-crib. It’s not very long. So if you have a tall baby (which we do) it may not last much past the first year or two.
4. I don’t think the Bjorn makes a good playpen. It’s too small and the walls provide little support. For longer road trips, we’ll be taking the pack and play to use as a playpen.
But overall we are happy with our purchase and do recommend the Baby Bjorn Travel Crib if you have lots of places to visit with a baby in tow.

I wish I’d known about this travel bed before I jumped on the Pack n Play bandwagon. Luckily I got a used PnP so not much money wasted. Too bad the Baby Bjorn Travel Crib Light (BBTCL) doesn’t have a changing table add-on, or it’d have (nearly) everything.
This is a great “little” travel crib compared to the PnP – 11lbs compared to 30lbs. In planning a 3-wk trip by myself with my child, stroller, car seat, luggage, carry on, and diaper bag, I knew I couldn’t afford the space and weight that a PnP would take, so I went for the BBTCL. Here is my impression:
PROS:
-it sets up like a dream; I didn’t even look at the directions and was able to set up and take down in no time by myself.
-feels sturdy and safe for my wiggly, crawling 8-mo-old (time will tell if that rings true for an older, standing child).
-mattress is cushy and feels like it’s comfortable for a child.
-my standard crib sheets fit this well (esp. the ones that are slightly tighter on the crib mattress) – so DON’T FALL INTO THE TRAP OF BUYING THE $40 BBTCL-SPECIFIC CRIB SHEET! – try out your own sheets first; I don’t have to use any fasteners to keep the regular sheet tight enough in the BBTCL, and the mattress pushes down into the bottom of the travel crib well enough to keep the sheets tight.
-easy to just toss in the car, not heavy.
CONS:
-this will *definitely* not fit in standard-sized luggage. I’ve had to search around for luggage that will fit this bed, and it doesn’t leave much room for packing clothes and essentials for a trip. However, I will make it work since I don’t want to deal with 2 suitcases and don’t want to pay the ridiculous airline fees for extra luggage.
-This will not work as a carry on, for several reasons. 1) The total dimensions are 46.5″, 1.5″ over the limit set by (some) airlines for carry-ons. 2) There is NO shoulder strap. This is by far the biggest flaw and a huge oversight by Baby Bjorn. This makes it more cumbersome to carry while carrying my child and makes it nearly impossible to carry long distances with anything else in your arms. It only has 2 handles, barely big enough to fit through up to your elbow and still carry it comfortably.
-The mattress sits on the floor. This isn’t typically a problem, however we used it camping this past weekend and found that it gave no good insulation between the cold ground and the mattress (like a PnP would), and the mattress got very cold. I would recommend getting a camping air mat or layers of something to put under the entire bed if you are using this for camping in colder areas.
Overall, I think the price is a little high. I would like to see it around $150-175 and no higher. But, it seems to be a good purchase so far and I am so relieved to not have to carry a PnP on all our flights. This is a good investment and I’d recommend it over a PnP any day.

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.
