Lotus Travel Crib Review

Guava Family lotus crib versus Baby Bjorn travel crib

I was torn between the Guava Family (GF) lotus crib and the Baby Bjorn (BB) travel crib. I decided to order both so that I could compare them side by side! Please bear with me as being succinct was never my forte.

The carrying cases for both are stylish and subdued.

For the BB crib, you can only carry it via two handles on top - much like a brief case. For the GF crib, you have two options: like a brief case or as a backpack. I like how the GF's carrying case gives you two options; however, the quality of the BB carrying case is better. The fabric is noticeably thicker and I suspect may be more durable in the long run if you're rough with your baby gear.

The set up design of both cribs is instinctive.

I was able to set both up without reading the owner's manual. For the GF crib, the mattress pad is secured via velcro tabs located underneath the pad. You pull the tabs through slots on the bottom of the crib and secure it to velcro tabs there. I was able to do all four velcro tabs just by touch. There's a bit of fumbling but I don't think that necessarily detracts from the ease of set up. I noticed that the mattress pad did pull up at four corners initially, but after a few days it now lays relatively flat.

The BB mattress pad is secured via red tabs pulled through corner slots of the crib. They're anchored with a hook-loop mechanism instead of velcro. It was admittedly easier and faster to anchor the BB mattress than it was the GF mattress because I could see what I was doing. The BB mattress pad also initially pulled up at all four corners and is now settling down and laying flat. Neither crib had any discernible odor upon set up.

Worth every penny.

So happy with this purchase. We bought this portable crib for our Rv in hopes it would take up less room than the pack and play but got so much more! It's so easy to set up, significantly lighter and sleeker and our baby sleeps so much more soundly in it than she did the pack and play. She takes solid naps and sleeps through the night just like when she is home compared to the pack and play where she slept more restlessly. Very happy with this product and well worth the money.

This travel crib is fantastic. It is very light yet very sturdy. The crib folds very quickly and very easily adding to its convenience. Once folded it fits into a well made carrying case. The mesh that comprises the sides of the crib easily holds up to the kicking of my 25 pound baby. The side opening is a great added feature and has one fairly quite zipper to open and close it. The bottom pad is secured with hook and loop (Velcro) tabs that hold the pad in place without any problems. After 6 months of use the crib and carrying case shows absolutely no signs of wear and tear. I would recommend this crib and after using it for a I would purchase it again.
