Baby Bjorn Travel Crib -- why??

in Nurseries and Baby Gear
What is the appeal of this thing? So many people love it and I don't understand why. A couple of friends recommended it to us for a trip we were planning for this weekend, so my DH bought one. Once it arrived in the mail, I looked at it and do not feel comfortable putting my baby in it. The mattress is literally on the floor! So I'll have to bend down and risk hurting my back every time I put LO in it or take her out. She's almost six months old and cannot sit up yet. Plus, she usually falls asleep nursing, so I'll have to somehow get her all the way down there without waking her up. I know it's lightweight and easy to set up, but am I missing something here? Also, any suggestions for alternatives for traveling would be much appreciated!

    Can't answer your first question as I haven't used the BB travel crib, but as for suggestions... I suppose it depends on how lightweight/ portable you would like to go. Here's a pop-up cot for instance... (warning - the mattress is literally on the floor Wink )

    Most pack and plays have very low mattresses. Have you seen others before?

    You could look at the Guava Lotus crib... we went with this one b/c it addressed a few of the issues you mentioned.

    I wish we would've gotent the BB. We saved an(unwisely) d bought a Fischer price pack and pay... Totally SUCKS! It's big, clunky, hard to set up and take down, difficult for travel and worst of all uncomfortable for our son. Forget about trying to get it on a plane and it takes up most trunk space for a road trip. The mattress is horrible. It mostly collects dust and we use it for dire situations only. You have an AMAZING travel crib!
