If you have a child under nine months of age buying an infant travel bed will likely be a good investment for you. There are many good ones on the market - here are our seven tips for getting the right one for your family.
1. The lighter the better. Look for a bed that weighs less than 800 g. which is about two pounds. Whenever you are travelling with your child there is always lots of gear to take with you. Taking a lightweight travel bed with you helps to keep your total load as light as possible.
2. Bed that folds to a small size. When you are going with you child for an overnight stay with the grandparents, or maybe a more exotic vacation on a cruise ship or going overseas you'll want a bed that is easy to carry. Look for a bed that is under 40 centimeters (12 inches) in diameter, and ideally look for a bed that has a carry case/bag making it even easier to carry.
3. Easy to set up - the last thing you want is when you get to your destination is having to fumble in setting up your infant baby travel bed. It should be a one step process to set up and a one step process to fold it back up again when you are finished. Set up time and fold up time should take less than 10 seconds, and it should be able to be done by one person.
4. Quick and easy access to your baby. This is probably the most important consideration when making your decision about which bed is best for you. The bed that you end up buying should have side panels that can be opened effortlessly so that you can quickly reach into pick up the baby.
5. Good air ventilation - a good infant baby travel bed will provide for good air flow for the baby. Look for beds that have mesh side panels that will allow for good air flow helping to keep the baby comfortable.
6. Bed liner. The liner in your bed should be padded so that your baby will be comfortable when in the bed. There will be times when you'll need to be able to clean the liner and that may needed to be done when you are traveling. For easy cleaning make sure that the liner is easily removed.
7. Protect your investment. You'll want to get many years of use from your infant travel bed - not just for your first child but for any future babies. Look for a bed that has at least a five year guarantee - even better look for one that has a warranty for a lifetime. It also matters who you buy it from. If you ever need to return the item you want to make sure that the store or the online store that you purchased it from will allow you to easily return it without questions.
