KidCo Peapod Portable Travel Bed

Bought two to use as travel beds for our 6 mo. old twins. The verdict is still out b/c we haven't traveled anywhere yet. I did have it out to let it breathe and get rid of the plastic-y smell. One of the babies already pulled off the grommet thing that you use to fold up the side vents. He was holding it and ready to put it in his mouth when we found it. So...the outside is not child friendly. It should be used with the infant inside it only, don't let them play around with it. Otherwise, not sure how well they'll sleep in it. They haven't minded being awake and zipped inside so I imagine if they were tired it would be fine. Time will tell!

I bought this tent for my 8-month old when flying to stay at a very small apartment. It was so convenient to throw it in my suitcase instead of hauling a pack n play through the airport. However, I ended up buying a PnP at 8 a.m. the next morning after a night of very little sleep! My baby moves around a lot while he sleeps and the tent just doesn't have room for that, so he woke up constantly. And there is a gap between the mattress and the tent sides, so one time, he rolled right off the mattress! Also, the zipper is loud when trying to close it up with a sleeping baby inside. If I had to do it again, I would save the $, and buy a PnP at my destination and return it when I left...I'm currently waiting to hear what Baby Age's return policy is!

This was a cool looking product, but sent it back because it was much too small for our 2 year old. It looks like it would have been really fun - but not sure if the tent part would have been too intriguing to be relaxing enough to fall asleep...

We ordered this little tent to take our 8 week old to the beach. It was such a great purchase. It is very easy to open, just be sure to open it away from others as it pops open quickly. It is also very easy to fold, the first time just takes a few minutes to figure out, but there is really no wrong way to fold it back up. The mattress is great and slips in between the bottom of the tent and the "floor" of the tent. The sleeping bag is useless and of bad material, but I doubt that is why anyone is purchasing this tent. I know one reviewer thought that the material was dangerous for laying a baby on, but I doubt anyone is just laying their baby on the bottom of the tent without putting something down first. We just laid our baby on a towel in the tent and that worked very well. He would either go right to sleep, or just hang out. The sides are vented so it doesn't get too hot in there. It is a must have for the beach!

We were going on a 2 1/2 week road trip with our four children ages, 7, 5, 20 months and 7 weeks. We did not have room for 2 porta cribs so I was looking for something very compact for the 7 wk old. We ordered this at the last minutes and it came the day before we left. I was VERY happy with this product. My husband and I said many times during the trip how thankful we were to have it! I was a bit concerned with folding it back up after reading a few reviews. I just followed the directions and the first time was able to fold it with out a problem! We even used this on the beach one day and it worked great!
