    Making sure your toddler gets quality sleep is usually the number one goal of parents — but it can be difficult when you’re traveling or away from home. Portable toddler beds are usually one of three styles — inflatable, foldable with a cot-like frame, or pillow-based foldable beds that you roll out on the floor. Our top choices in inflatable beds come with added bumpers to protect your child from rolling off the bed. Look for beds that easily fit crib sheets and have high durability ratings (made from canvas or another strong material) to avoid leaks or tears from rough use.
