Infant Baby Travel Bed - 7 Tips for Buying One

An infant or baby travel bed is an excellent piece of baby gear for families with young babies under the age of 9 months old. Here are 7 tips to keep in mind when purchasing a travel bed for your infant baby.

1. Lightweight - make sure that the bed is light enough to carry. When you are travelling with your baby think about strategies to keep your load light. One way to do this is to buy a travel bed that is light. It should certainly weigh less than 2 pounds or under 800 grams. The lighter the better.
2. Small - You may be packing the bed to take with you on a plane or a cruise ship or just loading into your car with all the other baby gear. Look for one that is small when packed away. Good beds will be under 40 centimetres or 12 inches in diameter, and should also come with its own carry case.
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. Easy access to the baby - being able to reach in to pick up your baby with ease should be a prime consideration when purchasing a portable bed. Look for beds with side panels that provide protection for baby and can be easily opened for quick access to 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. Detachable padded liner - you want your baby to be comfortable. Make sure that the bed that you purchase has a detachable padded liner. It will help the baby to be comfortable and being detachable also makes it easy to clean.
7. Warranty - look for quality. The best beds come with a lifetime warranty.
