Do you have to bend over further since this crib is a bit shorter than average cribs? Is this a pain? Also, does it seem too small?

Crib looks good, perfect size for our room. The mattress is lower than expected; you will have to bend over more.

It is low, but not a problem. The mattress is a decent size. We like it. Its quite sturdy as well. Changing diapers while inside the crib can be a back strainer though.. so if you have a changing pad/station, then this shouldn't be an issue.

I am short so I like that this crib is shorter so I don't have to lean over as far. The mattress can also be lowered 3 different levels as baby grows . Remember that crib mattresses are a standard size so I don't understand why people are saying the crib is small. It's lower profile for sure in its simplicity but the sleeping space is the same as any other crib.

It is a good crib...I never used it for traveling. When we did fold it up when we were done with it at " Nana's house " it took a bit of time.

I use it like a bassinet. It's deep enough that a young baby would be hard pressed to climb out! Until they actually start grabbing and pulling themselves out of things I think the restraint is unnecessary. The angle and shape of this bed holds them in the right position much like a car seat but more reclined. I've been considering cutting out the buckles because I feel like once we actually will need them we'll be moving our babe to the portacrib.

I would say it's a very average crib. It's not one of those pieces that overpowers a room. Anything standard we've purchased for the crib have worked and fit fine.

I'm not sure why, but ours does not fit snuggly at at all. It's very frustrating. I have about a 2 inch gap on both sides of the crib! I rolled up blankets to fill in the gaps, not ideal or really safe at all.

That never occurred to me before, but now that you mention it, the twin mattress we got at Ikea doesn't stretch all the way. It's probably about 5 inches short, but since my son uses the top bunk for stuffed animal storage mostly, it hasn't caused a problem.

It depends on the baby's length. Weight-wise, I am sure it will be ok, but both of my twins kept pushing their heads into the headboard of the crib by around that age. And they are not tall, actually probably on the shorter side at about 30-31" at the time. We didn't realize how crowded they must have felt in the mini-crib until we put them in the regular-size crib and the first thing they did was lie on their backs and stretch their arms up and out, as it to enjoy the extra space. That being said, they would probably be ok in the mini-crib for a few nights, but not as a regular sleeping arrangement. It depends on the baby's length.

Yes, this portable (folding) crib is smaller than standard size. Ours has been perfect for our two new grand babies, but once they are over 1 1/2 years it may be too small for either of them. The crib has caster wheels that can lock in place, or wheel freely. The crib was easy to put together, came with a very thin pad for a mattress, so we ordered another mattress offered with the crib. The mattress board is adjustable in a high or low position. I measured the inside of the crib to be 38" long x 24" wide. The internet offers pads and fitted sheets in this size as well.

It is pretty low, I would say not tall enough for a 6 year old. We don't have a bitty baby so I'm not sure about that. But I will say it was SUCH a pain to assemble. Not a fan, I eventually gave it to a friend and went with the badger basket white crib and high chair, which we are very happy with.

I bought this and it was the right width (maybe with an inch to spare, I think, but good enough) but ~3 inches too short, so maybe start there? The bed is actually even better than it seems - we are really pleased with it, as is our son!Sleep Master iCoil 6 Inch Spring Mattress, Twin

I have 2 of these and have not had that problem at all. One is now being used in a toddler bed and rolling to the edge is still not a problem. And to respond to the other persons comment about comfort- my son is now 3 and able to tell me whether he's comfortable and he still sleeps well on this bed. At this point, he's slept on adult mattresses at grandparents' houses and we've had no problem with this mattress when he comes home. An infant mattress is supposed to be firm and this is but I don't find it to be uncomfortable or excessively hard.

No, this is smaller/shorter. There would be some gaps of you put this in a standard crib.

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?

I would have done two separate: reason being that once they are maybe 3 months old and stirring a bit, they kind of almost roll towards the middle/separator and also are more aware of the other one (not very much, but still). They also just outgrow this so fast. I would just have two mini cribs from the get-go, because that is what we ended up using for the next year. Good luck, have fun!

The mini crib does not have the same support system of metal springs like its full sized sibling. The mattress will sit on a plywood board. My daughter is big for her age and very rambunctious and often will jump herself to sleep for naps. The mini crib works well even though I was hesitant on the wood base. We use it over at my mom's house so its not her primary bed. Works well without complaints or issues 2 years now.

Yes, it's a pain in the butt. It takes me two hands, which means I can't do it while holding a baby. I end up stepping over it half the time instead... Precarious for someone short like me with a child in arms! It doesn't latch easily... Doesn't line up without jiggling.

The mattress is set rather low into the crib....it could be problematic for a shorter person....unless a thick mattress is used in the crib.&#128522;
