    Customer Review: Great for travel
    This is a really neat and creative travel bed. It is easy to set up and the mattress is very comfy. The only problem we had was that while sleeping and moving around, our 8 month old would tend to get stuck inbetween the mattress and side of the tent. This is because we took the mattress out of the bottom part so we could place a sheet over the mattress and it would be more comfortable for her. Next time I think we will just leave the mattress in the bottom of the tent and we wouldn't have this problem. Our daughter liked it but was a little scared at first as it is totally different than her crib. But, after a few nights she seemed to do ok. I think we will definitely be using this on all of our trips to visit family and friends.
    Customer Review: Very compact, but lacking for active babies.
    This bed's mattress can be inflated with the included pump, or with your own lung power. It also folds away easily into the included travel bag, though deflating the mattress could be easier if it included a larger outlet hole. It definitely meets the portable description. The biggest drawback is the tendency for an active baby to get his or her head wedged between the mattress and the tent part. When this happens, the baby is most likely going to wake up. If the mattress were designed with a raised edge it would probably help. If your child sleeps peacefully with little movement, you would likely rate this item higher.


    One of the charms of camping is that it brings you close to nature and the simplest form of living. There can be nothing more attractive than the very idea of breaking away into the country side and be with the nature for a week or weeks, waking up to the open sky in-betweens the freshness of forest, experiencing joys of wild, battling to set up the tent, hammering nails in the unyielding ground. So on and on.

    In camping vacation everyone undergoes small amounts of stress of every kind, be it from erecting camping tents or from dismantling the tent. Don't be dreaded by the idea of them, don't panic after you count pegs and pole of a tent, decide seriously to erect a tent yourself. You can practice it in your backyard before actually doing it at the campsite.
