Pack and Travel

When my son completes sixteen months his passport will be stamped in three continents, having visited Europe, Australia and South America. Not bad for an American toddler!

One very useful gear that we have carried all over the world is the Travel Crib. It has been not only useful at home, in the US, but also in hotels and friends' homes. Everywhere we spend the night! It is a portable bassinet and crib.
Lukas is used to its mattress, and the sheets smell familiar to him, helping with the adjustment to the foreign environment.

At home, we leave it in the family room. It served as a bassinet in early stages, and as a contained space when we need a break to go to the bathroom!

There are several brands available in the market; Graco's Pack&Play is what we have at home. Baby Bjorn also manufactures a very good but pricey version. It claims to be the most portable of all brands. In my experience, both products are very light and easy to carry around.
