Hi! I am going to leave my LO for a weekend with her grandma when she is about 5 months old. Can anyone recommend a model pack and play or travel crib that would be good for her to sleep in while she is there? Thanks!
Pack and plays make me nervous because the mesh part doesn't go all the way to the bottom. For that reason (and many others), I decided on this one. It is a little pricey but it is lightweight, can be brought on as a carry on, is super simple to set up and take down and is actually pretty big. I put the pad in our crib to compare the size and the difference was about 2 inches in each direction.

We also got the lotus and I can't believe how compact it packs and how easy it was to set up. We could justify the price because we travel a ton and I really wanted something that will fit as a carry on. Another perk is that you can machine wash all the fabric parts. Otherwise I think a regular pack n play would be fine.
Re: travel pack and play or crib?
I think you'll probably get more use out of a Pack N Play. We have this Graco one:
