Peapod Travel Bed

Comments about KidCo PeaPod(TM):

We love love love the PeaPod plus - we have 2yr old twins and have used the PP since they were 6mos old. They regularly take naps in them. They love to go to their PP for naptime. In nice weather we put them outside for naptime. We have travelled with them and they are the best! It's a familiar place away from home for the children and they are a snap to set up and take down. We have popped them up at the airport when delayed. When they were small we put the mattress in the zippered compartment under the PP - now we just place it inside. The only thing I would change/add would be to add a covering for the mattress. We use a twin sheet folded under. Our 2yr olds have plenty of room inside to play and nap. This is a great product!

This is one of the best things we have purchased in a long time. Our 6 month old slept great in it while we were camping. The only design flaw would be the zippers. They seemed to wake up our son when we had to zip it up. There must be a different method for closing it. All in all it was a life saver, zipper or not!

i wish my baby would like this peapod. i think it is a great product. very easy to set up and very small and light to carry. the bad part was that everytime i put her into sleep and tried to zip up the peapod the noise of the zipper would wake her up. this was also our first vacation together so i am def going to try the peapod again.

We brought this to the beach and it was a good area for my baby to play and nap without getting sandy. However, I found it very difficult to fold up to put back in the bag. In fact, after the first and only use, I tried to fold it back to get it in the bag and the frame actually snapped eventhough the directions said to not worry about breaking it. Also, the blanket that comes with it moves around to much and needs to be secured in some way.

This portable crib is a life saver! It's so much better than renting a crib. I would not suggest it for very active or large babies, but my little girl (9 months old) just loved it the entire time we were on vacation.

We bought this tent when we were preparing for our trip to New Zealand. It was so easy to pack in a suitcase. It is easy to put together and fold back up. It has never lost it's shape. We use it everytime we go out of town. My son is almost 2 and can still sleep in it. He loves it!
When our son started crawling out of his crib, we put the tent inside of the crib until we could arrange for future sleeping arrangements. We love it and look forward to using it with our next child!!!

I love the peapod. I've never liked pack'n'plays because they are sooo big and heavy and bulky. I purchased this peapod when my daughter was just a month or two old and we take it EVERYWHERE with us. It is so lightweight, compact and very easy to set up. My daughter just loves it. She plays in it as well as sleeps in it. The ONLY con about this peapod is the sleeping mat that comes with it. I don't know what they were thinking putting in a loose "blanket" in something designed for infants! I easily fixed this problem by installing snaps-I can still take it out and wash it but it stays put when it is suppose to.

I bought this for my son when he was about 5 months old for traveling across the country. My son loved this bed and slept great in it! I like that it's easy to assemble and that the mesh zipper keeps him safely inside. We use this bed for travel and for day trips to the park. I'm planning on getting the Pea Pod Plus now that he's getting bigger!

My 8 month old twins LOVED their pea pods. We just purchased a motorhome and I didn't feel safe having them sleep on a bed with a railing and we did not have enough room for 2 pack-n-plays. The babies slept in their pods all night long and napped in them thru the day. I think they felt safe and cozy and even when they rolled around in it, they were safe and the pods never moved. I put a crib sheet on the air mattress and just tucked it under really tight. And I love how compact they are! I always hesitate taking my babies out to friends or family's homes in the evening because we never know where to put two of them where they can sleep safely & comfortably, but these pods have solved the problem - even with 2 of them, they don't take up much space. I have never written a review before, but these are so great I had to let all the parents out there know!

This is the most handy product out there. It is so much easier to set up than a pack -n- play and it is a lot easier to cart around. I would recommend one of these to anyone with a child that still needs nap time.

We got this for a travel bed as our bugaboo bassinet no longer fit our 9 month old. It took up about half of the baby's suitcase, but it was very lightweight and SO easy to set up. After using it for that week, I decided that I could have lived without taking the pump, the travel bag, or the blanket that comes with it. It was quicker to blow it up with my mouth.
THe one thing I wish I could change about it, was the zippered access. The only way in/out is to unzip the whole side of it. It would be nice if there were a top zip compartment, so I didn't have to zip/unzip it during the night if my baby was sleeping. Just a big hole that I could plunk her in would have helped. The zipping woke her up a couple of times, and if she woke up in the middle of the night, it was a bit of fumbling in the dark.
Other than that, it worked out great, and I would for sure recommend it. We are big travelers, and will be using it again until our daugher grows out of it.

If your child does NOT move during sleep then this might work. My little one rolls over and over until she is stopped by the side of the crib - the mesh on the side of this travel bed, because it is soft, allowed her to keep rolling into the side and bunch up the mattress cover. She was frustrated and we did not sleep much.

We bought this for our then 1.5 yr. old before a long vacation, and are still able to use it a year later, even though she is 2.5 yrs. old. Now, she looks forward to sleeping in "my tent" and can zip herself in and out. It is so nice having her elevated on an air mattress rather than sleeping in a sleeping bag on a dirty floor.

We bought this for our trip to a relative's house that didn't have a crib or pack n play. We didn't have room in our luggage and didn't want to take our pack n play with us. This was the perfect solution. It's small and lightweight. Our 6 month old slept in it just fine, the first time we put her in it. She seemed very comfortable in it and slept in it for the 7 days that we were out. We also used it in the backyard for her to sit in and play. The best use during our trip was at a late night party. Our baby doesn't like to sleep in a stroller, but had no trouble sleeping in it at the party.

It was very easy to pop open and twist fold back into it's travel bag. The air mattress and blanket made for a cozy snooze.
