Can't beat it for travel
Pros:
Lightweight, a good size, neither too large nor too small, easy to assemble & disassemble.
Cons:
Truly awful color! And agree with the reviewer above about the unnecessary frills!
The Bottom Line:
A life-saver for travelling with a baby for about the first two years of life---unless he's really big. Or for having him sleep in your room when young.

Author's Review
Lightweight, easy to collapse and put away, or as quickly put together. Small enough to put in a tiny spare room in the grandparent's (that's us) house, squeezed in next to the bed in said spare room. Fits in the trunk of small Japanese car, along with all the other items required of a family with 3 boys! AND a stroller...don't ask ME how they do it!
Has now been through two babies and it continues to go strong as the second baby to have used this item is now almost at 18 months and can still nap in it on visits to a grandparent's home. The information given by the manufacturer says it is for babies 15ibs and under, but in my experience, that is unrealistically light. I feel it can safely hold a heavier baby than that. It has nice mesh sides, padding where the baby touches up against the mesh, and a large bag that the entire crib folds up into for storage. Some versions don't have the frills, some do. All are, unfortunately, green... What more can I say about something that cost under $100.00? It is definitely worth getting, if you travel at all in the first two years of the baby's life.
We almost got one used, but the consignment shop had just sold their last one, the day before (always try the consignment shop first, by the way, believe me, a little antibiotic soap and elbow grease, and you're good to go, and I'm an RN telling you this... just as long as the Car seat or Crib meets current safety standards which HAVE changed over the years as far as no lead paint and how far apart bars can be and things like that...not an issue here with this item of course.)
At any rate, this is a great little useful item, and I wish I'd had one back in the day, as the young'uns say. I wish it wasn't the unpleasant split pea soup green, but you can't have everything I guess!
