Take the Pain out of the Pack and Play

Parenting comes with immeasurable joys, but a few challenges are involved as well. People are willing to keep you apprised on rising to those occasions long before baby comes along, yet some of them end up being less-than-pleasant surprises.

As fate would have it, traveling with a little one often happens to fall into the latter category. Though very few new parents are prepared for just how difficult a weekend vacation or even spending an evening away from home can be once an infant enters the picture, a Baby Bjorn Travel Crib can help lighten the load.

A Cinch to Carry

With a car seat, toys and possibly multiple diaper bags to in addition to mom and dad’s essentials, there’s not much room or upper body strength left for anything else. Of course, that doesn’t change the fact that baby needs to sleep and probably can’t be held constantly. Some pack and play models add to the problem rather than solving it. They’re heavy and bulky, so they don’t fit into the car or your lifestyle very well. At 13 pounds, the Baby Bjorn Pack and Play is an exception to the rule.

Simple to Set up

Setup is an entirely different matter. Most pack and plays fight back when the time comes to take them out and use them. Some are so difficult they could literally lead to a pulled muscle or, at the very least, pulling out your hair. Once again, Baby Bjorn steps in to change the equation with on-the-go cribs that are simple to set up and just as easy to fold away for storage or travel.

Ultimate Security

Some options on the market leave a lot of questions in mind where safety is concerned. They’re not very sturdy upon setup or have support bars that are so uncomfortable to look at, you’d be hesitant to let your little one sleep on them. At the same time, babies’ skin can stick to plastic mats or liners just like adults’ legs do to leather car seats.

Although fabric-covered mattresses are more comfortable, they can be harbingers of stains and germs. Baby Bjorn models are designed with comfort and cleanliness in mind. Soft mattresses and removable cloth liners combine for complete security and safety.

You can’t very well take the crib with you, but with the Baby Bjorn Travel Crib Light, you have the next best thing. Baby can enjoy the comfort of his or her own bed at home, and you can take advantage of the clean, lightweight, simple-to-setup features built into each model.
