We love this crib
After much research into cribs and portacribs, we decided to go with the Baby Bjorn Travel crib fir both home and travel (we travel a lot). I couldn't find any reviews from people who used this crib as the primary crib before our purchase, so it was a bit of a gamble but we went ahead. It was a fantastic decision - our baby loves the crib and sleeps very well in it both at home and in hotels.
It is SO easy to assemble and pack up, you don't even need to read the instructions! It is a little on the small side, but our 3 month old who is very long has plenty of room, and I think it will fit her for many more months. Besides, it is the compact nature that makes it so portable. We want her to associate the crib with sleep, so she doesn't use it as a play area, it might seem a little on the small side if you wanted it for play. The mattress is quite thin, but she is certainly comfortable, and it has a waterproof cover so no stains.
There are no baby bjorn crib sheets available at this point (I'm sure eventually they will come) but we found the Koala Kids Cotton Play-yard sheets fit fine (they are wider and not quite long enough but somehow they end up fitting very well)
In the packed up state, it is about the size of an art portfolio, and weighs less than 11 pounds, so it is very easy to carry. We have not taken it on a commercial flight yet, so cannot comment on whether it fits into overhead bins, We also find that we can leave a sheet on the mattress and fit a blanket into the case with the crib, so it is ready to go when we arrive (no frantic unpacking of suitcases to find the swaddle blanket!)
We are so happy with our purchase of this crib, and for our small house and constant travel it is a godsend. Highly recommend.

Better than the Pack n Play
I used the Graco version for the first two years, until my son was able to start climbing out of his real crib, and potentially able to do the same with the travel crib. We travel a lot, visiting relatives by airplane and going on cruises and we took the Graco everywhere. Now my son has outgrown that crib we still needed something for him to sleep in when we travel, and when he stays at his Grandparent's home. I bought this, although I was apprehensive about the price, and have loved it since I pulled it out of the box. It just pops right up and is ready for the baby in seconds, is bigger than the Pack n Play, and my son loves it. I put him in it when it came and he wanted to play in it all day long. It is extremely light and is small enough to be a carry on on an airplane. LOVE it. I wish I had it from the beginning.

Wonderful
I love this product. It has been perfect for the trips to the grandparents and for visiting friends, even just for the day. I actually bought a pack and play but the fumes alone made me want to return it. I love that the materials do not have a strong chemical odor and that all but the matress itself can be washed.

Excellent portable crib for travel. None that I've used are better
I bought this crib in preparation for a family trip with my 20 month old son. All these products look great on the website and in person but until you actually take it on a trip and use it, you just don't really know if it will be money well spent or just another piece of equipment confined to the storage room. Anyhow, the first thing that struck me was the size of the crib when its collapsed and in its carry case. It is not big at all. Very compact and easy to carry. The size of the crib is basically half of the base size as it folds in half. Everything else folds flat and in on itself. If you check the Baby Bjorn website, it shows a demo of how you open and close the crib. It REALLY is that easy. The build quality of the materials is excellent and should last a long time. That should be a given considering the price of this crib.
The ultimate test of a crib though, no matter how much we like it, is if your child will actually sleep in it. We were a bit worried on the first night of the trip; being in a new place in a new crib we thought that our son might be a bit fussy. We crossed our fingers and put him in and he was asleep in the blink of an eye. We used it for the duration of our week long trip and we loved it. We put him in it and he would be very comfortable in there. I think the mesh sides really help as it is see through and he probably feels less confined. The only downside I can see is that as your kid gets taller, my son is about 34-35" now, they will be able to climb out by themselves. I think he could get out now if he really tried. Not a big deal if you are careful, but this isn't something you want to use if you need them to be "locked down" in the crib for a period of time.
Anyways, combined with the convenience, portability, quality, and ease of use, I highly recommend this crib, even for the somewhat high price.

Buy this one, not the bulky, heavy ones that "everyone" says.
Great product. Easy to set up, light weight and serves its purpose as both a travel crib and play pen, if you will. Spend the extra bucks on this item and forgo those bigger, bulkier "pack 'n plays."

Wonderful for Transitions
When my little one outgrew the family basinet, I was presented with the option of moving the crib up a flight of stairs (temporarily) or moving our bed down a flight of stairs (temporarily). Thus, I had a need for a third option.
After looking at a variety of play pens / "Play and Go" products, I realized that the sleeping compartments were too small (weight limits of 15 to 20 lbs.) and the lower level platforms too uncomfortable for sleeping. Although I could not find the Baby Bjorn Travel Crib at any local retail outlets, I went ahead with the purchase (based on the reviews of others). I have not regretted the decision since.
The product is light, compact, and from all indications extremely comfortable for sleeping. We only use the Travel Crib for sleeping (not as a play environment), but we use it every night. We are especially happy that when we travel, the crib easily folds up to a convenient size (roughly the size of a briefcase) for transport, but also because the baby gets to sleep in a familiar platform even though we are in a different location. As a too frequently sleep deprived father, I look for all the advantages I can get helping my little one get a good night of sleep.

expensive but worth it
Have already been to San Francisco and back with the travel crib, and it's really easy to open/close/pack in its own traveling case. Very light, too. A regular pack 'n play is convenient for home use, but for travel, the BabyBjorn is amazing for infants through age 2. If you travel a lot, it's totally worth the money.

Low Price Find
Hi, just bought the BabyBjorn Travel Crib as we are impressed by the BabyBjorn products (baby carrier and potty training toliet seats). I like the fact that it is longer than our pack n play since our 10 month old is already in 2T clothes. I didn't care for the pop tent cribs as I was concerned with the quality and space.

Amazing crib - worth the money!
Expensive, but worth it! This is the best portable crib out there! We had the Pea Pod, which was good until baby could sit up, and then it freaked him out that his head hit the top of the "crib" when sitting up (it's like a mini tent) Also, it was sort of annoying to fold up again after use. Looked into the Phil and Ted crib, but the setup seemed too painful when you need a crib in a hurry (same with the Pea Pod). The Bjorn crib sets up in 2 seconds - you remove it from the bag and it pops into place by itself. Folding is equally easy. Koala baby sheets do fit it well; especially the "deluxe play yard" sheet made of ultra plushy velboa fabric (it's listed as polyester but it's the super-soft plush fabric otherwise known as velboa). This sheet is a little longer than the cotton Koala baby sheets, though the cotton ones are fine, too. We sat in the Bjorn and read books to get our son used to the crib, and there was room for both me (a full-sized adult) and baby to sit in it and read! It was really comfy, too. Set up over a carpet for an even more comfy feel. I would buy this crib again in a second!

Good Travel Cot
The Baby Bjorn travel cot has been a worthwhile investment, especially for longer trips where we are flying to the destination and need to travel as compactly as possible (and pack-n-plays are too heavy and bulky to carry/check-in).
Advantages:
+ easy to set-up and shut-down
+ significantly lighter than a pack-n-play/playard to carry
+ thicker, more comfortable mattress pad in this Baby Bjorn (vs those in pack and plays), so the surface seems more comfortable for sleeping. Our 10-month old daughter has slept very well in it without requiring any 'socialization' with the crib in advance. (Bringing familiar toys, blankets and/or stuffed animals from home helps on the trip to make the new sleeping area seem familiar)
Disadvantages:
- there aren't any sheets manufactured for this crib, so we are using a standard crib sheet and tucking it in around the sides
- the mattress is waterproof (good), but with only a cotton sheet covering it, the baby tends to perspire when sleeping for a long time on the mattress. We made the set-up more breathable by putting a blanket over the mattress (under the sheet -- to act as a mattress cover), and the blanket provided an additional layer that prevents the baby from sweating.
Suggestions: the sides of the cot are mesh, so recommend that you bring a few light-weight blankets to drape over the sides to make the crib dark if you have to co-exist in the same (hotel) room and want to have a light on, as well as block any drafts if there are doorways near the crib.
Overall, we recommend it and give 4 stars instead 5 only because of the lack of a sheet that is made to fit the dimensions of the mattress.
