I reallllly needed this review as I’ve been searching all week which travel crib to choose 😊 so thank you!

[@kaitlincooper7714]

thank you! you are such a vibe and this video is exactly what I needed

[@MagicBeansVideos]

Thanks Kaitlin! Not sure what a vibe is but glad the video was helpful:) Eli

[@meghanbrandt3384]

Hi! This is so helpful! Would you recommend the babybjörn or uppababy one for frequent traveling & international flights? I like that the uppababy one has more functionality and things like that but it also seems bulkier and heavier than the babybjörn 🤔

[@theffzaesparis]

Any crib aside from lotus that can be used as carry on in the plane and cheaper? Thanks

[@coachgirl82]

What's the best travel crib that you would recommend for a 1 year old? (15mos old)

[@jamiedunn5941]

Does it make a difference if the mattress is on the ground or raised a few inches? I am worried about setting my baby down to sleep if the mattress is on the ground, since I am taller.

[@annebertolino3194]

What is best for a tall one year old? The Stardust doesn’t seem roomy enough any more.

[@Elisheval]

I think these are out of my price range but I feel your anxiety with the old travel cribs... When I go to my parents i'm never sure if it will have all 4 sides locked up or 3.

[@juliannelord4568]

Thank you!

[@brendaababey]

I wish of would of realized what a waste of money a bassinet was and just get a travel crib 😅 why didn’t I think of this .

[@MagicBeansVideos]

Hi Brenda! We live and learn as parents but some families also love the bassinet. It all depends on your lifestyle and preferences for a sleep option.

[@katiegriffiths8]

I’m with you Brenda!😂

[@nickytf123]

I would love to see a comparison of how these might fit in a suitcase for when traveling via airplane, I’m hoping to find a travel bed that could possibly be fit into a large suitcase so we don’t have to carry it around separately.

[@MagicBeansVideos]

HI! Check our website for the folded dimensions.

[@nyy13nyy]

Question. My almost 3 month old is already nearing the weight limit (14lbs6oz) so the pack and play in grandparents room and the pack and play in living room are going to be done (bassinet portion) I am not comfortable putting him so low to the floor, did you say the remi has extra level? I ordered a mini crib and he has a crib in his nursery. I also have the chicco alpha lite... thanks ... I'm really a nuna fan but 15 max weight is like in a week. Thanks

[@MagicBeansVideos]

Hi Andrea! The Bugaboo Stardust & Uppababy Remi bassinet portions can be used until 20lbs 😊

[@nocia5304]

I’ve been in the market for one of these and thought I was sold on the 4moms Breeze Plus, but idk now after watching this video. Any particular reason why that one didn’t make the cut?

[@MagicBeansVideos]

Hi there! We keep our assortment slim in effort to not overwhelm parents with too many options. Our collection is narrowed to the best in class models. These options are selected based on quality, performance and ease of use. To discuss our line up and be matched with the gear that will best meet your lifestyle needs, schedule a consultation with one of our gear experts: www.mbeans.com/pages/consultations

[@jadeharman]

Is it safe for baby to be as low on the ground as they would be in the bjorn? I’m tempted to purchase but I can’t get my head around why they’re so low down. I’d have thought they’d need good airflow from underneath to avoid over heating or getting a draft? What are your thoughts here please?

[@MagicBeansVideos]

It does pass safety test which allow it to be sleep approved in the US

[@nika123490]

Is the bugaboo really short length ways? My baby is almost 1 so I would want to use it for longer than a few months

[@MagicBeansVideos]

Hi there! The Stardust dimensions are : 25 x 38.8 x 33.5 Inches and can hold 33lbs.

[@kaylinde2321]

Did the bugaboo upgrade theirs? On their demo video you don’t have to take out the mattress

[@MagicBeansVideos]

Hi there! The mattress can stay in when in the lower position. When using the bassinet you must remove the mattress.

[@lee008k]

Could you compare the mattress? Curious about thickness, stability and comfort.

[@MagicBeansVideos]

Hi there! You can book a zoom consultation with us and we can show you all the products live : www.mbeans.com/pages/consultations

[@michaeldunigan5839]

I have the Guava Lotus which converts to a backpack. Not as easy to fold as the Nuna and UPPAbaby. It also has to be converted to a bassinet, not built in! Cool to see these compared though, thanks for the video.

[@ctbrown9949]

Strong consideration for the Guava Lotus, I have been comparing it to the Baby Bjorn....are you still happy with your Lotus?

[@michaeldunigan5839]

@@ctbrown9949 yeah we used it as a bassinet and then whenever we traveled as a crib. The backpack feature was easy when loading up the car and bringing luggage. Baby 2 on the way and we plan on keeping the lotus

[@rikkimaroney8072]

Do you have to remove the changing table when putting baby down to sleep in the bassinet height travel cot? Or can it just stay on?

[@MagicBeansVideos]

Hi Rikki! You can leave them in place. The Remi changer can easily be set aside while still attached.

[@terrishine4335]

Can these be used instead of a standard crib or standard bassinet

[@MagicBeansVideos]

Yes they can!

[@lee008k]

Would baby bjorn mattress fit in uppa baby remi?

[@MagicBeansVideos]

Hi there! We do not recommend using any other mattress other than the one included with the Remi.

[@rafyelalenon]

Can it be used for overnight sleep?

[@MagicBeansVideos]

Hi Rafyela! Yes they are all certified for overnight sleep 😊

[@peggyno5672]

Why did the silver cross travel cot not make the list? 😬😬

[@MagicBeansVideos]

Hi Peggy! The Slumber is a great option!

[@griz5426]

I'm a new soon-to-be parent living in a city with 20 million people- so cash and room are both limited. My partner and I also have plans to travel every couple months. What's the benefit of a real crib? Can I get away with buying only a travel crib? Do you have any thoughts about this?

[@MagicBeansVideos]

Hi and congratulations! Most cribs have the ability to turn into toddler beds and later down the line full size VS a travel crib can easily be taken with you but will only last the first few years. It all depends on what will work best for your family.

[@griz5426]

@@MagicBeansVideos Thanks a lot. That helps! I love your videos by the way!! I see a lot of "city dwellers" on the various child product channels. Could you make a video on just one thing-- which car seats are best for taxis (and Uber, Lift, etc)? Here and there, some youtubers touch on it, but don't really spend that much time focusing on this aspect of travel.

[@sakarim]

Having had both the Guava and Nuna for over a year now, we prefer the Guava. The mattress padding is much softer but the Nuna is like sleeping in plastic :( The cover for it is soooo flimsy and doesn’t have a zipper, so we didn’t even bother flying with this. It would either fall out easily or the bag would be ripped up super easy. The Guava traveled with us numerous times and held up extremely well. And when our mattress was slightly damaged, they immediately sent us another one.

[@blueslawyermemes7958]

Guava mattress is basically on the floor, no?

[@chrisblair3129]

Remi still not available in uk.

[@MagicBeansVideos]

Hi Chris! Unfortunately baby gear differs depending on the country. Hopefully it releases soon!

[@Annagracie24]

Stardust good for a 2 Yr old?

[@MagicBeansVideos]

Hi Anna! The Stardust can be used until 33lbs and 35in.

[@ilovebrean]

Shame the bjorn doesn’t have the bassinet

[@MagicBeansVideos]

Hi! They all have pros and cons!

[@idenkilla]

Any travel cribs for twins?

[@MagicBeansVideos]

Hi Vinay! We do not have any in our assortment. Sorry about that!

[@kingal89]

In my opinion there are two types of travel crib buyers. 1) Someone like a grandparent where they essentially need a crib full time but don't want to have a full setup crib 2) someone who is actually using the crib during travel. All of these "travel" cribs are nice but WAYYYY overkill for someone who is actually just traveling with their baby. A travel crib shouldn't run you more than $100. Anything more than that and you should just go buy a real crib.

[@MamaZ87]

I would not say they are overkill. As with everything, there are features that one may feel are necessary and will pay for. I love and enjoy all of the sleeping options I have for my children. The ease is wonderful and as a stay at home mom I do not regret any of my purchases.

[@MamaZ87]

@@griz5426 For my husband and I the benefits of a crib were to have a larger sleeping space to transition into once they outgrew the bassinet, and feel comfortable in. If you travel often, then yes I do believe you can get away with just a travel crib. I would just go with a good one that is approved for overnight sleeping. We have the remi and we love it. We got it to use for when we travel but use it at home daily.

This guy just seems so dodgy. Who says "if you want your baby to breath fresh air".
