Equipment for the Parent on the Go: a Mobile Baby Crib

Parents seem to be traveling with their children more frequently and further than ever before. Often, nuclear families live in different cities than their extended family, necessitating frequent travel for holidays, or just to visit the grandparents. This trend to turn infants into frequent flyers has created a wide range of travel products for parents and babies, among them that of a mobile baby crib.

The Ultimate Mobile Baby Crib: The Pack N Play

Pack N Plays are quickly becoming standard issue for new parents. Similar to a playpen, Pack N Plays are typically constructed of plastic with netting or mesh as the four sides. They are designed to be collapsible for easy portability and most Pack N Plays come with a carrying bag or case as well.

While not designed to substitute for a full size crib in the long-term, Pack N Plays are a good option for those parents who need a mobile baby crib to use during short trips. Additionally, Pack N Plays are often used as extra cribs for rooms in the house that families spend a lot of time in, to remove the need to take the baby to their room for frequent naps.

Modern Pack N Plays come with many additional features that extend them beyond a simple mobile baby crib. For instance, most Pack N Plays now include a bassinet attachment, a secondary bed that hangs inside the frame of the mobile baby crib, raising the child off the mattress. These attachments also include fabric bumpers similar to traditional cribs, creating a cozier atmosphere for very young infants to sleep in.

Additionally, most mobile baby cribs also come with a changing table attachment, which rests on top of the crib and provides a place to change the baby. Again, this feature is probably most useful when the mobile baby crib is being used in another room in the house, allowing parents to easily change the baby without a changing table.

An Additional Option: The Mini-Crib

If parents are looking for a mobile baby crib that will be used in the long-term, they may want to consider a mini-crib. These cribs are smaller than normal cribs and therefore more portable, but they are not mobile in the same sense as the Pack N Play, as they still require assembly and are rather bulky items. Nonetheless, mini-cribs are typically on casters, and could be used in a situation where the baby crib needed to be moved frequently in the same room (e.g., if parents live in a loft apartment without dedicated space for the crib).
