How big of a baby would be comfortable sleeping in this? We're looking for a bed for the RV but don't want our baby to grow out of it too fast.

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.

We keep our Biddeford Mattress Pad on our bed in the RV. Therefore, at this time, we have only slept on it once. That particular time we were very satisfied and slept very comfortably. Hopefully, it continues to be snugly and cozy. Previous comments have not been very complimentary (which I did not read before our purchase) so I will be quick to let everyone know if our satisfaction turns sour. So far, so good.

It's a good, firm mattress but still comfortable. When my baby girl was born, we put the mattress in our pack 'n play in our room. She slept there until she was 5 months old and then we moved her to a full-size crib. She slept well on this mattress and was very comfortable.

Well my granddaughter that just turned 1 seems to find if very comfortable and can fall asleep and stay asleep on long drives. I like the way it tilts in a reclining angle for comfort.

I had my baby in this from a month old. About 8 or 9 pounds. She fell asleep in it immediately. The baby head moves a lot at this age but it didn't bother the baby. And I just cradled her head while I walked

Hi, our baby was 9 months old when we got the seat, and she even seems too small for it....there are long plastic guides on the shoulder straps that i think would be too long for an infant...that's my 2 cents... i would get an infant car seat - it can get heavy but the ease of transporting the sleeping baby is well worth carrying it.Good luck!

It perfect for an 18 month through almost five year old-depending on how big you child is. My daughter started in hers at 2 and will be 3 soon and is still very comfy in it! I used the mattress from her crib. That's the only size that fits. Only bummer to it is it won't hold adult weight and we constantly have to catch ourselves from sitting on the edge of it :)

not at all. It is so comfortable. We have a similar mattress in the house that was one of the reasons we chose this one for the RV.

Not so sure about an 11 month old only because of the travel bed's dimensions - your baby may be too long to fit comfortably inside the "walls"....

I purchased this matress for use in my RV. I had previously purchased a 3" foam mattress for the RV and I felt like I was bottoming out so a thicker one was definitely the answer. I have a tempurpedic foam mattress in my bedroom. I would say that this matress is more firm then the tempurpedic but not enough that it effects my sleep.

I think it would really depend on how well he is sitting up and holding himself up my other daughter is almost 5 months and 17lbs and I wouldn't put her in one we plan on getting her a different type of Recaro seat she would not be very comfortable in it at all for how much they still sleep at this age.

Its a great crib and may work for a short trip. I think at 21lbs 30" tall it might be a little tight for a long trip?

Yeah, it's not comfortable for a long term stay but if you need to duck in there quickly as a shorter adult (I'm 5'1'') you can. I had to do a quick change and was able to do so with my mom holding up a sheet in front of the door and the windows rolled down on the tent. Also, I use it so my little one can nap on the beach (he is one now) so you should get some long term use out of it even after you have weaned. :)

We use ours in our RV and it's just on a plywood frame that's typical in RV's, but it would be just fine on a box spring or any other firm or semi firm platform. This is a wonderful mattress and worth the money we spent on it. Both my wife and I sleep like a baby when we're camping now.

My very tall 6-next-week-year-old rides by herself and it's roomy (several stuffed animals can ride with her). It's a wide carriage, but unless they are good buddies who like to cuddle (or the 6yo is smallish), a 2yo and a 6yo aren't going to be comfy in the trailer together. With the strap division right in the middle the 2yo will be OK, but the 6yo will likely be squished.You may want to find a local bike shop and see what trailer models they carry to help you better envision the seating situation of the Burly Bee, but my unscientific opinion is: whatever kids ride together in this trailer will touch no matter what, and a couple four year olds seems like the max limit for a squish-free ride.

My daughter is almost 6 months and still sleeps in ours. I will probably keep her in it as long as she is comfortable. I know Leachco does not approve this as a sleeping device, but it has been the best thing for us. It seems like you can use it well into toddler stages. It has an adjustable Velcro strap that allows you to adjust snugness on it to allow it to grow as your baby grows. Good luck!

It's padded enough for a baby to sleep comfortably. Extended period of time? Maybe for a nap but not overnight, unattended. It that's what you're looking for then you might want to buy a bassinet.
