After an abundance of research we decided on the Guava Family Lotus Travel Crib. Since our son is now 3.5 we have not been traveling with it. But we will be using it once again when the new baby comes in June. The Guava Family was an easy choice because it is 11 pounds. Most of the other “pack n’ plays” are 20-30 pounds! The Lotus is light and has backpack carrying straps. It is also really easy to set up and take down. As The Little Dude got older, we really liked how it was on the ground and we could leave it open for him to get in an out of on his own.

We prefer to take our own travel crib if weight and space allow since you never really know what you are getting when a hotel says they have a crib or pack n’ play. We have also stayed in some locations in which upon our arrival we were informed they were out! It is so much easier to just take our own.
