Is it time to invest in a toddler travel bed yet? If your little one has been on a growing spurt, their play yards are probably too small and just too babyish for them now. It’s time to move up to a bigger sized travel bed. Because there are a number of these larger sized beds available today, I would like to share a few with you to either choose from or to give you a good start in your search.

Toddler Travel Bed – Which One Will Suit Your Needs?

AeroBed Sleep Tight Inflatable Bed for Kids

This bed is a great solution for your toddler. It measures 50 x 25 x 10 inches. An important feature to note is that the sleeping area of this travel bed is 6 inches thick. The difference of 4 inches creates a safety “wall” so that there is no chance of your little one falling out. A fitted mattress pad is included which can be machine washed. The bed has a built-in AC pump and inflates in about a minute and deflates in about 15 seconds.

The Shrunks Toddler Travel Bed with Hand Stitched Ultra Plush Character

This comfy bed measures at 60 x 36 x 5 inches and won the 2009 The National Parenting Center Seal of Approval. This toddler bed comes with its own pump which takes about a minute for the bed to be fully inflated. The hand stitched character is a silly creature that can be used as a pillow. The bed is constructed to that a fitted sheet can be used and tucked in.

Regaio My Cot Portable Bed

This cot is perfect to keep your child up off of the floor. This feature makes it great for use at the beach or for daycare needs. A sturdy steel frame, when fully erected, measures 48 x 26 x 7 inches. The Regaio My Cot weighs about 7 pounds and folds to store in its own carrying case so it can be stored in the car or spare room. There is even a washable cot cover included to add extra comfort when needed.

Kidco PeaPod Plus Indoor/Outdoor Travel Bed

This particular toddler travel bed combines several features of the beds just discussed while adding several different features. This bed is more like a tent in which the material offers UV protection and the zippers allow the bed to be opened and fresh air to flow through. The mattress is inflatable (pump included) and the entire bed when in use measures 52.5 x 34 x 25 inches. When not in use, it easily folds up and can be stored in its handy carrying case.

The Shrunks Sleep Secure Inflatable Bed Rail

Although this one really isn’t an actual travel bed, I felt it was important to include it in this article. This option is for when the only place to sleep is in a traditional bed. This bed rail actually inflates to 48 x 7 x 4 inches which is the perfect size to slip underneath the fitted sheet and keep your child from rolling off the bed. A manual pump as well as a repair kit are also included.

All of the beds noted are under $100.00 and you can find them for around $70.00 on amazon.com. The bed rail sells for about $25.00. If you are looking for a portable bed for grandma’s, for daycare, camping or a day at the beach there is a toddler travel bed that will work for you and your little one.
