The PeaPod P201 is a lightweight sleeping tent, which comes with an inflatable air mattress to keep your child's bedtime comfortable. An air pump is included. The mattress fits snugly inside the sleeping tent "pod," which features a wraparound mesh canopy with a wide, zippered opening to give parents quick and easy access, or to allow an older child to crawl in and out easily. Your child can nap in comfort outdoors, thanks to the canopy's UV protection and to a wide windscreen. The pod also includes a washable sleeping bag that can double as a sleeping pad.
Travel Light
The last thing you need while you're traveling with a baby or young child is to lug a lot of extra luggage around. Rather than packing a Pack'n'Play or a folding bassinet, which are cumbersome and heavy, simply pack the ultra-light, super-compact PeaPod away in your suitcase. At 19 x 6.5 x 19 inches (LxWxH) when closed, it takes up little space, and it comes with a carrying case for easy portability. And at 52.5 x 34 x 25 inches (LxWxH) when open, the PeaPod will take up little space once you reach your destination.
The PeaPod is also designed to open and fold shut quickly and easily. Other than the included air pump for quickly inflating the small mattress, no tools are needed: simply follow the directions to "snap" it into its standing position, and fold it back down quickly when finished. So whether you're traveling across the country, making a weekend trip to the beach, or simply spending the day at a friend's house, the PeaPod Portable Travel Bed makes it super-easy and convenient for baby to sleep comfortably and safely while on the go.
Baby Products Reviews of Kidco PeaPod Plus Indoor/Outdoor Travel Bed - Red
Customer Review: Excellent Travel Bed
Summary: 5 Stars
We purchased the Pea Pod Plus for a 2 week trip when our daughter was 20 months. Since we found out about the Pea Pod Plus 2 weeks before our trip and knew it wouldn't arrive until right before our trip, we were really nervous about how our daughter would respond (no time to acclimate her to a new bed). Based on the reviews we decided to take the gamble -- we've used a pack n play on many previous trips and our daughter never responded well to it (she sleeps 12 hours straight in her crib at home but barely makes it 6 hours in a pack n play and would also fight going to bed, which she rarely does at home) -- not to mention the weight and bulk of a pack n play.
We hit the jackpot with the Pea Pod Plus!!! It's awesome!!! Our daughter slept in it as well as she sleeps in her crib. Plus it's so much easier to travel with than a pack n play. Granted, it took some special approaches to get her acclimated. Our daughter had no problem going into the tent and lying down, but we couldn't get her to go to sleep until lights were out (no different than at home). Also, we couldn't zipper the mesh "door" up (without crying fits) until she was asleep. So one of us would hold her hand until she fell asleep / settled down (towards the end of the trip this was no more than a 5-10 minute process). I (at 5' 4") could actually fit into the tent in a fetal position so the first two nights I stayed in the tent for about 30min - 1 hr until she was in a deep sleep (I actually fell asleep myself in the tent!)... Then, once she was asleep, we'd zip it up and sneak into bed ourselves. She did not have any complaints during the night that it was zipped after she was initially settled. We left all the mesh windows "open" (i.e., window / door covers were rolled up) to avoid the tent heating up. Definitely always zip up the mesh door with little ones -- one night we did leave the mesh screen "door" unzipped and she crawled out in her sleep and resumed her sleep on the rug for an unknown amount of time before we noticed (EEK)!
As far as folding the tent back up, I can see why people have problems or get frustrated. I did figure it out, but my husband still hasn't volunteered to try and he hides when it's time to fold the tent (he says I'm more mechanically inclined). If you've used a lot of camping equipment or you've got a good "figuring out how things work engineering type mind", you should have no problem. Otherwise, I'd suggest opening the package really slowly so you can try to get a sense of how it is initially folded up (that's what I did) -- it pops open REALLY fast when you open it so you have to keep a very good grip on it to give yourself time to "figure it out". Also, when folding it up, try to let it guide you -- it "gives" a little when you've got it right. The first step of grabbing and bunching all the arch parts is easy. It's the next step of pulling the bottom sections into a compact cylinder that's the hardest and I've gotten stuck on this part too -- that's where trying different techniques until it "gives" a little helps. Best to try to refold it right after you open it up the first time (that's when it's easiest to fold back up) -- practice as many times as possible until you feel comfortable.
