Leave the portable crib at home and lighten your load with this travel bed.
Trudging through the airport, dragging suitcases and carrying a tired baby while trying to find the oversized baggage area, was not a great start to a vacation. But my cousin and I had to pick up the bulky portable crib she’d checked for our getaway in Spain with my then-nineteen-month-old niece.
Oh, how I wish we’d known about the Babyseater Toddler Portable Bed with Extra Tall Safety Bumpers.
Designed for children 18 months and up, this kid-size version of an air mattress is the perfect portable travel accessory to ensure your kid has a safe bed to sleep in without the hassle of bringing a crib whether you’re going across the ocean or just across town to a relative’s house. The bed comes with an inflatable pillow and has extra-tall built-in rail bumpers so your child won’t roll out.
The bed inflates in about 30 seconds with its included high-speed pump, and standard-sized crib sheets and blankets fit the mattress section. The bed folds up into a small bag sized to go in a rollaboard. At $50, it’s not cheap, but given how challenging traveling with kids can be, the cost may be worth it.
Twist’s Take: Lighten your load when traveling with a toddler with this inflatable bed.
