MunchkinBrica Baby Travel Pod, Grey

Fits perfectly in our larger checked luggage bag, and folds relatively flat so it didn’t take up much space. Made for one less piece to lug in the airport! Kiddo slept great in it until she got too tall/long for it.

So far we are loving this travel bassinet. It’s very portable and great for road trips. My baby is sleeping very well in this, even better than he does at home in his normal bassinet. It’s easy to pop up and down and is very compact. Would be a great gift for a baby shower.

First, this is best for newborns who can’t roll yet. It’s a bit flimsy. Once the baby can roll, crawl, or even scoot much, this has to be on the floor. In my photos, I have my one month old on the coffee table with a little work station...diapers and stuff. We slept in the living room the first weeks from the hospital because the couch was easier for me to get in and out of than bed. This was great for that, diaper changes, and occasional nap.The mattress is thin, but would be okay on carpet or with a blanket underneath (pictured).It collapses easily and quickly. But because of this, it’s best just for little ones.

We recently adopted an infant from another US state meaning we needed to travel and stay in a hotel for one week before clearances processed. This travel bassinet was perfect for our needs. It is lightweight, easy to set up and fold back up and our newborn fit perfectly in it. The sides are mesh, so we didn’t need to worry and it comes with a sheet to help with mid-snooze spit up cleaning. This was exactly what we needed! It is definitely small, so probably won’t work for kids over 3 months; it’s for tiny babies.

We used this bassinet for our two month (13 lbs, 24 in) old while tent camping for a week and it worked perfectly. Easy to set-up, collapse, and clean when needed. We put it on top of a trifold pad for warmth and some added height to make it easier to get him out in the middle of the night. I felt very confident and comfortable that he was safe and comfy each night. Couldn't ask for much more in a simple travel bassinet!

We got this to put our newborn in the bed with us. She liked it a lot, and it worked really well. Now that she’s bigger, we just take it with us for her to sleep in when we travel. It folds up really easily and is super compact.

So I only gave three stars bc there are plastic pieces to the Brica that make it a little flimsy. The oval base bracket is the only metal piece. The foam is lacking, it almost needs like a harder board for added durability but I don't use it as a sleeper but rather as my portable "changing table!" Also although I bought this item as new, when I opened the box it smelled like fish. Thankfully the fishy smell went away quickly. What I do love is that I can actually open it and close it very easily. I can even manage opening and closing it with my baby in my arms! I like how simple it is and how lightweight it is. I can carry it in folded up into restaurants and use it on the changing tables securely knowing that my baby isn't touching anything nasty in the public restrooms. It also works great as my "changing table" in the back seat of the SUV or even in the back with the hatch open!

very compact, Fits my 6 month old who is 27 inches. it probably wont last much longer but he is very large. Perfect for a vacation where you want to pack light. I would not use it on an elevated surface thoughWhy did you pick this product vs others?:Portability
