We used this travel bed when visiting grandma and grandpa when our children were infants. Just passed it on to a friend to have.... cleans easily...very compact. Once the baby can roll ... it needs to be put away, though. Short term use, but great for those first few months. We used this when we needed to travel across country to attend a funeral. Baby was only a few weeks old so it came in handy, as we didn't need to pack the huge pack and play.
