Face Off: Baby Bjorn Travel Crib lite vs. Graco Pack-n- Play


       I wish a "snobby mommy" had informed me about the BabyBjorn Travel Crib Lite before I made the mistake of purchasing the Graco Pack-n-Play.  The Travel crib lite is amazing and really works as a portable crib. The crib easily folds in seconds and is easy to tote around in the zippered travel bag.  The mattress is easy to wipe clean, which is a necessity with a baby, and folds up to fit with the crib inside the travel bag.  It weighs approximately 7 lbs., which is easy to manage when you are traveling with a baby and all of their "stuff".   The BabyBjorn Travel crib retails for @249.99, but with a coupon you can save $50 at BuyBuyBaby.   I know some of you mommies may think that this is a bit pricey, but trust this snobby mommy and don't make the original mistake that I did in purchasing the Graco Pack-n-Play.

       What is wrong with the Graco Pack-n-Play?  EVERYTHING!!!  This snobby mommy says that this product tries to be too many things, and fails at all of them.  First, this is not light enough or easy to pack-up or set-up, so forget about this being an option for a traveling crib. Second,  this product is too small to be a large enough area for a suitable play yard.  Last,  those changing tables that attach to the top of the pack-n-play are really unnecessary because you can just set up a changing area on the floor with a pad and a basket to hold some diapers and wipes.  Why overtake your livingroom with this wasteful product when you can buy the BabyBjorn Travel crib lite and the Superyard Play yard, which accomplish both sleeping and playing more effectively and efficiently.
