At what age would you recommend this bed? My son is 18 months and 34 inches tall. Unfortunately, too tall to get much use out of a travel lite crib.

I would say that this mattress is great for any child that no longer sleeps in a crib. This mattress has no way to keep a child in it, so for me personally, I would want to make sure that my child is mature enough to know to stay in a bed, whatever age that is. I probably wouldn't use it for a young infant either.

I would not recommend this product for any age. I purchased last year for my 2 year old grandson who did sleep in this thing but I was horrified at how cheap it was. The bumper sides would not contain an 18 month old from rolling out on the floor and the padding is so thin I added extra blankets. I have seen dog beds with more padding then this horrible product. Please do not waste your money.

I got it for my 18 month old daughter and it was fine. There's not a whole lot of space if he moves a lot. But it was the best option I could find. Size is fine really. It's a bit too thin though and you may want to put it on a folded blanket for added cushion.

My son was about the same age and height when we got it. It had plenty of room. We got it because the travel crib was too small at that point

I think your son is the right age for this bed. We loved it. We used it with both of our boys (we had two of them) and they were just 2 and 3. It's pretty comfortable.

Interesting coincidence... my grandson, who this was purchased for, is a little guy too. Jeremiah turned 3 this past June and this bed was his birthday present. He is only in the 3rd percentile and we expect him to be able to use this bed, comfortably, for at least 2 more years, if not 3. My best friend's little girl sleeps in it on occassion and she will be 5 in December. She's a tiny one too & she has plenty of room. I hope this helps!

I don't know if this is helpful but I am 5'2" and I have to stand on tippy toes to get my 20 month old into and out of the crib. It is currently on the lowest position. I think it's fine for taller people. We have been so happy with this crib. It's simple, easy to assemble and is high enough off the floor to put storage boxes underneath

It really depends on how big he is. It is a toddler bed so he might be too big for it at 6 and if he isn't yet, he will probably outgrow it fast. We got it for my son when he was 1 and he is 3 now. I think he will get a couple more years out of it at most before he's too big and he is average size for a 3 year old.

We had a 2 and a half year old ride and sleep in it. I think he is 39 inches tall. Hope this helps. We plan are using it again in Aug. when this child is 3 years old. Hope this helps.

My son still uses it but he is failure to thrive so is still pretty small for 18 months. 18 lbs. And he is 25 inches long and still fits comfortable Hope this helps.

Probably not for very long. The information on the crib states it should only be used for babies up to 32.5 lbs. The crib can be lowered to make it into a playpen which would accommodate a child 33" tall if they would stand up, but not if the height was adjusted on the crib for the bed size. The dimension on the crib is 40.3" x 28".

My daughter is very tall also, 100% for her age group. At 18 months and 35inches, she is at the next to the top shoulder strap. The manufacturer recommends turning it forward facing when they reach the top strap holder. I just asked our pediatrician at our 18 month check up what we should do when she reaches that point as I am sure it will be soon, and before she is 2 which is the law in CA. His response was to turn her around when she reaches the top strap even if it is before age 2 as she will then be big enough. That being said we bought this carseat for traveling. It is the smallest and lightest carseat we could find. She seems very comfortable in it. The bottom strap to attach it via car latches does not adjust on both sides which makes getting a perfectly tight fit impossible. It has good safety ratings but in comparison to the Britax carseat we use for every day, it really doesn't seem as safe or tighly secured in the car. Hope this helps.

This bed is a wonderful travel bed for little ones. It is small, however, and would be used in addition to a pack and play as the baby grows,

We used it from 4 months and still use it every now and then (my son is currently 11 months old). It is definitely a go-to toy when I just need to be hands free for a couple of minutes, but he's outgrown staying in it much longer than 5 minutes at a time. At 8 months, we probably used it several times a day still, but it might not be worth the $ at this point. I would be more concerned with the height. At 30 inches, my son is at the last height level, and I'm pretty sure that's the maximum recommended height, too. We'll probably pack it up right around his birthday...

This compact bed measured is 31 inches long and the width is 22 inches. So if your baby is 29 inches this would work but could maybe slightly tight if they move a lot during sleep. The width is pretty spacious considering. Hope this helps you make a decision. The underpart for packing is quite roomy. Its a great invention.

We didn't use it that early with our first child. She was in it at about 8 months. We will be taking our first trip next week and it will be the first time my second child will use it. She is just over 6 months. I don't see why it could not be used with a younger baby though. We did not have use for it at that age. I recently bought a new mattress and pump for our old Gocrib, but the company does not make the actual crib anymore. They now sell the Lotus Travel Crib.

My little guy is 18 months and about 30lbs. It is perfect for him. I also have older kiddos that have stood on it and it holds up well...but they are not supposed to be on it. When I say older I mean age 7 and 10!!! My personal feeling is that this is a good slide until age 3...possibly 4 depending on size. Then I agree with the previous comment about them being too tall. Weight wise though I would say 40-45 lbs. hope this helps answer your question.

If your child is out of a crib and in a "big kid bed" this is great. 18 months and older seems about right

My son is 10 months old and still naps in this on occasion...and he is large for his age. I can't remember at what age he outgrew the bassinet feature; I think sometime around 4 months. But, after the bassinet is outgrown, you can just put the mattress in the bottom and they nap down there. I wouldn't use this for a full-time crib at this age; but for the occasional nap or overnight trip, my son is perfectly comfortable in it. He is not going to fit in it much longer. My daughter outgrew it sometime around her first birthday.

Yes, my daughter is tall and we used it every night from 16 months to 20 months. Get the extra mattress. Its worth it.

I've done it before, but be warned the baby can flip over the side if too tall..which is a scary sight to see - take my word on it. So far, both my older children have not slept well in the playpen, the flooring is hard and using blankets/extra padding is dangerous. All of mine were too tall to use the playpen by 18 months. Sorry to sound negative, these playpens are great but we have found them to be insufficient as sleep areas for baby or young toddlers and best used for play. I'd suggest a crib mattress on the floor in a babygated and babyproofed room, or one of those bean pod portable beds.
