Why you need a travel crib,
not just a pack and play.

Traveling with your little one is a great way to share new experiences with them (and to see family), but most baby products aren't designed to be easy to carry through the airport, on flights, or on road trips.

Our Lotus is our favorite baby purchase to date. The reason we can travel and rest easy! Super lightweight and a breeze to set up.

The Lotus is genius, for its design and its quality. The side door means I can nurse my fussy 6 month old down in the crib and roll out once she's asleep.

Why is a floor-resting mattress better?

toddler playing in travel crib while smiling mom watches

We know what you’re thinking: why is the mattress on the ground? Aren’t travel cribs supposed to raise a baby up? Well, here are just a few reasons that parents have loved our floor-resting design.

No 'Shake' Effect

Supporting weight higher up in raised mattress cribs can cause them to shake or squeak when your little one tosses and turns leading to a ‘startle’ effect that wakes some kids up.

Carry and Move Easier

The mattress support structure in traditional raised platform cribs adds to the total packed size and weight making them harder to travel or store in your home.

Better Connection

Sleeping in a new place can be scary and unknown, so with the door unzipped you can cuddle or nurse your little one to sleep. That way they (and you) feel safe & secure.

What is GreenGuard™ Certification?

It’s surprising, but some products for little ones, including playards, still contain harsh materials. That didn’t fly with our team, so we had the Lotus tested, and certified, GreenGuard™ Gold.
