Do you like to travel with your child - but you are concerned with their comfort and safety whenever it comes to bed time if you are away from home? Maybe it is a simple overnight trip to the grandparent's home. They have the old second-hand crib - but how safe is it? Or how about at a hotel - how safe and reliable is the crib that they rapidly setup for your son or daughter? Maybe now is the time to consider a toddler travel bed for your child.

You may be ready for a toddler travel bed. There are many good calibre beds to choose from - but how do you decide on the one that is the best option for your family. Read our 7 tips to assistance clarify your decision.
1. Look for a bed that is light to carry. If on the go with your child there is always lots of gear to take along. A lightweight travel bed helps to make it easier whenever on the go. Stay away from the heavy monsters - get a bed that weighs less than three kg. (That’s less than six pounds).
2. Compact in size. Whether you are off on a 2 week trip to Europe or just an overnight to grandma's all of your gear has to be compact to fit into your trunk, or to check in on a plane. Make sure that the travel bed you select can be easily packed away (in its own travel pack). The bed when collapsed should be smaller than 60 x 20 x 20 (centimetres) or in inches 24 x 8 x 8.
3. No hassle set up and put away process. Speed and simplicity are the keys when setting up or putting away your toddler travel bed. You arrive at your destination - your child is tired - you don't want to struggle to get the bed set up. You hope a bed that one person can handle on their own for set up and for putting it away in its travel pack. The bed you get for your child should be easily set up in less than one minute or so, and it should be put away in a similar amount of time.
4. Easy access to your child - being able to reach in to pick up your child with ease should be a prime consideration whenever purchasing a toddler travel bed. Look for one with a zip down side panel that can be lowered for quick access to your toddler.
5. Bed with adept air flow. If you choose a bed that has mesh side panels you can be assured that there will be air ventilation keeping your child cool and comfortable as they sleep.
6. Foam mattress. A toddler travel bed with a foam mattress helps to keep the bed light - more importantly it will be comfortable for your child.
