I have purchased two of these for families expecting in the next few months who travel to visit relatives (by plane & need something they don't have to pay to take)and hike, bike and picnic while doing so. Will need to take another one overseas this fall and unsure if I need the bigger one of not.

Our 4-month old was still in swaddling when we needed a travel bed for a Thanksgiving trip. He slept very well in the tent on the floor of our bedroom. Since then, he has used this for several other overnights. He sleeps very well and we are more at-ease about sleeping in new pleaces with him. The two cons about this product are 1) the pump for the mattress does not work well. I inflate it the old fashioned way (my lungs) instead, and 2) the liner on the bottom does not secure itself, so in an abundance of caution, we do not use it. We are looking forward to using this camping this summer and expect it to last our little man for many years to come.

This is great for travelling. Easy to carry, lightweight and super easy to assemble.

The PeaPod Travel Tent was a perfect replacement for our bulky pack and play bed. We like to camp in our travel trailer and needed something that could be moved around and could be placed on a bed or on the floor since we put her to bed in our room and then move her to the living area when the rest of our family goes to bed. It was the solution we were looking for for camping, but has also made it easier to go to Grandma's house and other places. The zip close sides work great to keep our daughter from crawling around in the middle of the night and the air bed that slides into a pocket underneath makes for a comfortable night. Mommy sleeps better since baby isn't on a hard pack and play surface waking up every two hours. It is the easiest product to set up and very easy to pack up (the directions with pictures make it very clear). I can keep it in the back of my truck without taking up a lot of space. We love it! The only drawback is that it is a little short when she sits up but its not a big deal since we use it for sleeping. I would recommend considering your child's temperament before purchasing this item. If you have a tiny baby they would be fine and would grow up used to it. If you are starting to use it with an older baby (ours is 1 yr.) then seriously consider whether your child would be frustrated by being enclosed. Our first child probably would have hated being in it. Our second child is much more easy going and had no problems.

we bought that product to protext our newborn (4 month) against the sun in our trip to Cuba.\n\nthe nets offers a small protection against the sun (50% of UVs are block = FPS 2). This is the only reason I'm not giving a 5 stars (low FPS)\n\nBut was just enough since we always try to find a spot with a bit of shade (near a beach shelter, palm tree, ...). \n\nIf no shelter was available we would simply place a towel held into place with the stroller and the beach chair.\n\nIt doesn't get to hot inside because of the vents nets on all 4 sides.\n\nAlso the product was an alternative in case we didn't have a bassinet in the room, which we did.\n\nEasy to travel with (relatively small and light) (way more than a portable playard)
