Customer Review: great travel bed for toddlers
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased the Phil and Ted's travel bed and this travel bed for my 16 month old twins. Both have a self-inflating matress. The Phil and Ted's travel bed was twice the price, but it more closely resembles a crib with an opening at the top whereas the PeaPod resembles a small, but very cool, tent for toddlers/children. I liked the Pea Pod travel bed just as much as the more expensive travel bed for my sixteen month old twins. I set up the travel tent/bed in our home and let her play in it and sleep in it for two non-consecutive nights prior to using it on an overnight trip (and to let it air out a bit since some said that it needed to be aired out). She was apprehensive to use it the first couple of times at home overnight, but by the time we were traveling she had no issue sleeping in it. Although it comes with a comforter/sleeping bag I did not use this, and I used a mattress pad and sheets from her crib tucked in tightly hoping that the smell from our home would bring my child some comfort as well. I bought a second PeaPod as a gift for another nephew because I think it is a really practical, useful product for those that need to stay away from home overnight. Also, the weight and size are ridiculously more manageable(sorry, but much, much better than my pack and play). And after a couple of practice tries and looking at instructions, I figured out how to fold it up quickly after each use. The Phil and Ted's travel bed seemed very sturdy (even though a leg broke during my first overnight use) but took a lot more time to put together and dismantle because there are more parts. The PeaPod was a great purchase for a mom of (tall) twins that were outgrowing the traditional pack and plays and who wanted something easy to carry for overnight excursions. Good luck in your decision making!!!
Update: I did not put the mattress in the sleeve of Phil & Teds travel bed as instructed. I just put it inside, and used a matress pad and crib sheets from their regular crib. This worked well... Please note - This would not be an alternative for babies under 1 year. After using both types of beds for several different vacations, either one will work, but the P&T more closely resembles a smaller, more portable version of a real crib. It is more difficult to put together but it is made to be extremely sturdy. It is also more expensive, but my kids had an easier time adapting to it when we were away from home. If money is a concern, the peapod is an excellent option(use your matress pad and crib sheets from your home), but you need to spend some extra time convincing your kids that it is a great tent to sleep in.
