Traveling with a toddler can be quite an adventure, or it can quickly devolve into a nightmare. Either way, parents who decide to take their baby on a trip are brave people. Back in a day, toddler travels beds weren’t an option, which resulted in many sleepless nights for parents. Today, we have a wide selection of these products, so that is one less thing to worry about.
Toddler travel beds can be generally divided into three groups. The first one is inflatable toddler beds. These are the most common beds, as they are easy to pack and provide a nice air mattress for comfortable sleep. With an electric pump, they are easy to inflate. You can do it with a hand pump as well, but that will take more time and some effort.
The second type is foldable beds. They work on the same principle as foldable camping furniture. They are an excellent solution for visiting grandparents or car trips, but not very practical for air travel, as they are heavier and bulkier than inflatable ones.
Finally, we have pop-up tents. They provide a secluded sleeping area for your toddlers.
Below, we have listed one of each type of travel toddler bed. Hopefully, you can find the one best suited for your family.
