Safety

As you shop for a crib for travel, you'll want to make sure that the manufacturer is compliant with all safety standards. The Consumer Product Safety Commission's (CPSC) site is a good place to begin. It will inform you if a portable crib has ever been recalled. Select a mattress that is suitable for the crib of your child so that it won't fall through the gaps or cause a suffocation risk.

A travel crib needs to be well-constructed and sturdy. Make sure you check for broken, missing or loose screws as well as other hardware. If you're using a playard, it must have mesh windows and secure walls for air circulation. The crib slats shouldn't be more than 2 3/8 inches apart to prevent the baby's head and limbs from becoming trapped. Do not put any toys, blankets or toys in the crib. These items could cause strangulation or death to your baby. They must be removed as soon as they are able to stand up independently or before the age of 5 months.

It's also important to look frequently for loose or broken hardware and screws, particularly when traveling with your infant. Make sure to remove all crib furniture before use, as well.

If you're using a portable crib, make sure it is not located directly under windows. A window is an injury risk for falls and if your baby rolls into it, they may be injured.

Portability

These playards fold up and include a comfortable mattress that can accommodate children up to 15 kg. They are simple to assemble and compact once closed.

Feeding

While some families may be attracted to use a crib or bassinet that they have, it's best to buy one specifically made for travel.

Some are designed to look like a mini-crib or Moses basket while others have sides that can be placed on parent's beds. This gives parents access to the baby for feeding and comforting without exposing the risk of true co-sleeping which the AAP recommends against due to the risk of suffocation.
