The thing that really made me want this product over any other option was
We have the Jetkids bed boxes and backpacks for our kids and they are amazing quality and there is such attention to detail in these products that make them 100% worth the price and more! This was no exception. It’s great at its most simple but there are several things that just take it over the top.
1) the built in pump- this is so handy and easy to use! A few reviews I read before purchasing said it took longer than expected to pump up and I would agree if you’re just using your foot it takes several minutes to pump it up. I found a trick that makes it faster. If you do it with both hands and try to cover as much surface area on the pump when you compress as possible it fills really fast.
2. The mattress cover: I was a bit worried about the white cover at first but learned it’s washable!! Which is amazing and made me change my mind about brining it to our cabin a week ago! It worked great and was soooo much easier and less bulky than her fold up cot (that she has pretty much outgrowing anyway).
3. The size: I love the bumpers! They keep my daughter AND and pillows from falling off and the length is great. it’s compact but she has plenty of room to grow-she’s 4 and 33 lbs. I’m not sure what the weight limit is but both myself and my husband Layed on it too (with our legs hanging off the end) to try it out and it held us up just fine.
4. Extras: The fold guide features that are printed right on the mattress and the nice travel bag it comes in with the extra zipper to zip it down tighter so it can fit in the Jetkids bedbox or other compact spaces are just the type of details I appreciate and have come to expect from this brand. I love that it fits in my daughters bedbox! I can’t wait to travel with it ✈️ more!
5. It’s fun to blow up and easy to put away! I realized the other day that we can use it not only for when we travel but when other people come to stay with us!
I also wanted to say a few people in reviews I read said it was noisy. And I was listening for/expecting that and a little worried because we have a 1yo who is an extremely light sleeper who will wake up to the sound of a pin drop. I honestly didn’t notice it at all and we had no problems with it being annoying or waking anyone.
If you’re on the fence I say get it. It’s worth the money for all the sleep you’ll get back in return while traveling! Knowing your child is comfortable and close gives you that peace of mind nothing else can as a parent. Also, it’ll be great to store in the guest room for when we have visitors! Can’t wait till me second is big enough to get another instead of lugging around a huge travel crib.
