Bottom Line

Just like having a mini-nursery on the go, including plenty of storage and a changing table space.

Pros

Lots of storage for diapers and other baby needs. Bassinet attachment. Changing table area. Comes with a skirt. Sound and vibration to sooth baby. All the extras can be removed to leave a plain play yard for growing baby. Canopy helps shade baby from sunlight. Great for a longer stay away from home.

Cons

The side walls do not have a zipper to allow baby free access to toys and bed.

Bottom Line

A workhorse travel crib that can be used at home or on the go until baby is ready to be in a big-kid bed.

Pros

Includes wheels to make it easy to move after you have it set up. Large enough to keep baby content with a few toys. Push button fold. Folds into a rectangle and comes with a carrying bag for easy transport.

Cons

This model does not come with an infant bassinet attachment like others on the market.

Bottom Line

This bassinet-style travel can be moved easily and has a hood for extra protection.

Pros

Adjustable canopy keeps pets and other kids from being able to get at your baby. Has a storage sling under the bassinet. Folds up easily. Tight fitting sheets. Comes in different color patterns.

Cons

Not designed for much weight. Babies will outgrow this travel crib quickly.

Bottom Line

A smaller Pack 'n Play that is designed to go through doorways and packs down smaller than other play yards.

Pros

Includes a bassinet for infants that can be easily removed. Narrow enough to roll through a doorway from room to room. Vibrate function to help soothe infants.

Cons

This is not as large of a play space as other Pack 'n Plays. It is also an odd size for sheets.
