The winning baby will get to make dreams in his or her very own Baby Bjorn Travel Crib Light. This travel crib weighs just 1/3 of a regular travel crib and sets up in just a flip. Trekaroo’s Carrie Yu took it for a spin was very impressed with this new product from Baby Bjorn.

We’ve all wrestled hopelessly with our heavy portable cribs through airports and hotel lobbies. We have also all gone through that half hour of bewilderment as we stare hopelessly at a travel crib trying to figure out why on earth it’s sides just won’t stay up.
Well, what if I told you that there’s now a travel crib on the market that weighs only 11lbs. (1/3 the weight of a Graco Pack and Play)? What if I told you that this travel crib sets up and takes down in just one flip? Well, there you have it! The Baby Bjorn Travel Crib does just that!
Pros:
- Lightweight (11 lbs with the case)
- Packs up small- easy to carry and to store
- Very sturdy
- Unbelievably easy to set up
- The mattress cover and fabric of the crib (that’s most of it!) are removable and machine washable.
Cons:
- Since the legs slant outward, you have to pay attention to where the bottom of the crib is when you’re walking by. This could be an issue in a small space, and is definitely something that you need to be aware of when it’s set up.
- Only useful for young kids, up to age 3 (possibly younger if you have a tall child)
- Fairly expensive, selling for ~$225-275, depending on the website/store

One of my favorite baby gear purchases of all time is our Kidco Peapod Tent. We have the first generation version, but used it regularly until my son turned 4. In fact, he slept better in his Peapod tent then in his crib in the first couple months of his life. The Peapod Tent has changed our family’s travel experience for the better because it is so portable. So, we’re very excited to be giving away a Kidco Peapod Tent P203 – the newest model complete with self inflating mattress. You’ll totally understand why we love it so much the next time you start packing for your trip.
Recently, Carrie Yu (aka AdorablyConfused) took it for a spin and here’s her report in a nutshell.
Pros:
- Good for use for birth through age 6
- Can be used outdoor (provides UV protection)
- Door can be closed with or without the screen or folded up for easy access
- Very lightweight
- Folds up to a very small size, so easy to store and travel with
- Easy to set up and take down
- Throw a dark sheet over and easily create a “dark room”
- Sells for ~$85-100, so is an affordable option
Cons:
- Can be knocked over from inside or outside
- Air mattress requires additional inflating on this model
