Lotus Travel Crib and Portable Baby Playard by Guava Family

Product Information

Suitable for babies from birth up until they weigh around 25 pounds, you can use this portable bassinet as an extra sleep space in your home, a safe space in the garden, or a changing station with additional storage. If you are taking your own travel crib with you, you know exactly how clean it is before you set your baby down to sleep in it. You can also be sure that you have your own sheet that fits the crib properly or any other special items that your baby likes to sleep with. You Can Keep a Watchful Eye We did find that figuring out the bassinet attachment took us several minutes—however, once learned, this process would be much shorter. The crib also features a zip-open panel for easy access, mesh walls for clear views and optimum ventilation, and a triple-layer mesh mattress for ultimate breathability. We found it very sturdy even when moved around and subjected to our sandbag tests. The quality of the materials is top-notch. It is relatively heavy (20 pounds)—however, a good quality carry bag with handles on the top and bottom makes transportation easy. Because the Guava Bassinet is a conversion kit, it doesn’t add a lot of extra bulk to the overall size of the travel crib. Overall Size My husband can put one on each shoulder and without problems push the stroller and pull a trolley (while I follow empty-handed of course).

Why We Like It: It’s a basic, on-trend travel crib that can be used as a newborn sleeper, infant crib, or playard. Why We Like It: It comes pretty close to matching its marketing claims of folding and unfolding in mere seconds. If your baby is very little, you may want to consider a travel bassinet instead. These lightweight and incredibly portable safe spaces make cozy beds for babies who are not yet on the move. Safer than just laying your baby on your bed, you can keep your baby comfortable and close at hand without worrying about them rolling or falling. This cozy, portable bassinet from Besrey is just right for parents who prefer to have their little ones sleeping close by, whether at home or away. Babies who weigh anywhere below 44Ibs will sleep soundly in what is one of the best travel cribs around in terms of baby comfort.

How We Chose the Best Travel Cribs

This cute and cozy portable bassinet is perfect for keeping your baby safe and sleeping soundly both at home and away. Suitable for babies up to 3 months old or 15 pounds, this is a great addition to your newborn baby equipment that offers a comfortable and safe space for your little one. Discontinue use of any bassinet attachments for sleep once your baby starts to be able to roll over. With three kids and a love for travel, we have cycled through a good amount of baby gear in the quest to find the perfect baby travel products for our family. We have been through a handful of strollers, wagons, baby carriers, and car seats, but through 15 countries and 3 kids over the last 5 years, the one baby item we have never wanted or needed to replace has been the Guava Lotus Travel Crib. It has truly stood the test of time and been the only travel crib we need!

The material used for travel cribs. Apart from being light, is it strong enough and is it free from toxins? Some cribs would have toxic materials with traces of heavy metal which might be harmful to your child’s health. Basically, they’re all the same: The terms are generally used interchangeably to describe a four-walled structure for babies and toddlers to sleep and play in. One of the Stardust’s major selling points is a one-second unfold, which may sound like quite a bold claim! But “it lived up to its promise,” according to our product tester, who added, “the Bugaboo Stardust was impressively user-friendly. Its sleek, folded design made storage easy, especially in tight spaces like car trunks.” But Take Note: Assembly isn’t as straightforward as it could be and the instructions don’t make it much easier.

This small and portable bassinet keeps your baby comfortable and close to you while offering a safe space for lounging or sleeping. But Take Note: You’ll have to read the instructions carefully—assembly and fitting the crib into the travel bag are not intuitive.
