The Best Portable Cribs For Taking Your Little One Anywhere— From Down The Hall To Across The World

Use this foldable crib at home or while traveling: It comes with a 2-level removable bassinet, converts to a playpen (hence the “removable” part), and folds up at the push of a button. Twenty percent smaller than standard playpens, Graco’s portable crib is super convenient for smaller spaces–just be sure your lil’ one is under 35 inches tall and/or not a climber!

‘Cuz it’s nap-o-clock somewhere (be it your home office, grammie’s house, or elsewhere)! The thing about babies is that they never stop—yup, just like the Energizer Bunny—you’ve always got to be on standby to meet their every need. Graco’s airy mesh Pack ‘n Play On the Go Playard is specifically designated for movement, hence the handy wheels. It includes a cushiony changing pad for maximum comfort and a removable bassinet for uninterrupted sleep. The best part: When you’re ready to go, it takes approximately 1.5 minutes to pack up (give or take 30 seconds) and folds up compactly for fuss-free road trips and storage. Moms everywhere, including this Amazon buyer, love to see it. “We live in a 2-story house and I bought this as a secondary to keep downstairs. Baby has been using it since he was a newborn in the raised position and it’s perfect for tummy time, changes, and naps.”      

This 3-in-1 mesh pack and play from Arm’s Reach comes with all the bells and whistles. It grows with your baby from free-standing bassinet, to bedside sleeper, to travel play yard.“I recently ordered the Arm’s Reach Co Sleep bassinet for my daughter who was just recently born and it was one of the best purchases I have made!” said one happy customer. “It’s design is simple and easy to set up, use and fold back apart for travel if need to! The colors they have and designs are adorable! Overall, it’s a great product to have! You can use it freely throughout the house or you can attach it right to your bed and have your little one right next to you through the night, making it much more comforting!!”

A sleek, modern option, Nuna’s portable baby crib can be used as a bassinet or a playpen, thanks to adjustable mattress positions. It’s also got skid-proof legs, easy foldability, and an airy design that keeps baby cool and comfy–so you both might actually get a good night’s sleep!

The LulyBoo Bassinet To-Go Travel Bed is as convenient as it comes for portable bassinets. It’s bestseller on buybuy BABY for the backpack fold,  waterproof base, and 3 adorable colors (including blue, pink, and beige). One reviewer said, “It truly has been a life saver. I put it on the bed or couch and let my little one sleep/chill in it without worrying too much if he’s safe or not. It’s sturdy and easy to use! Folds up quickly and unfolds even quicker!”

Another Fold n’ Go bassinet option is this one from Delta Children. When fully collapsed, it easily fits right inside the travel bag provided. The mesh sides provide airflow and added ventilation. For added protection there is also a removable mesh canopy to shield your baby from any curious pets or insects while they sleep.

One and done— at least for a while. This sustainable wood crib has lockable wheels, allowing it to be stationary or mobile as necessary, and it converts to a toddler bed and day bed as your kiddo grows. In your room tonight, in their own room tomorrow. YES.

City parents, take note of this lightweight, foldable option, with 3 adjustable levels that convert it easily from a crib to a playpen or changing table. If space is in short supply (and trust us, it only continues to shrink), this is the portable pick for you.
