Evenflo has some of the greatest baby products on the market. Whether you are talking about a baby car seat or a stroller the brand will always pop up on your rudder. The Portable Baby Suite is their version of travel crib. It’s capable of holding babies aging up to 1 year or 35 lbs. The whole thing weights less and it’s easier to set up comparing with some other models. Well, a portable or a travel crib is not always a primary need and the manufacturer has known it all along. That’s why the product comes with an under 50 bucks price tag which we felt quite just for a product like this one. If you are a on the go parent then this can be really ideal for you as the crib comes with two wheels that are lockable and gives you the ability to push it around in your office or while you are travelling. Remember, this is a feature that you don’t get on all the travel cribs.

2. Graco Pack ‘n Play – Most Colorful Travel Crib on the Market
The thing is manufacturers do not seem to be concerned enough about the looks of a travel crib but a good looking crib has its benefits as first of all it will attract the kids and inspire them to stay inside for a longer time. This model is actually not a bed as it’s primarily been designed as a playard ( a small secured place where children can play ). But as it comes with a removable full sized bassinet, we can easily convert it to a comfortable bed for kids up to 15 lbs. You see, this thing has made the job of short listing the top ten travel or portable cribs very much difficult as it’s there are some similar looking things available on the market that are not actually portable cribs. Either it’s a playard or it can also be a diaper changing station. However, you can use a travel crib for all of these purposes. This product on the other hand is really beautiful with its artful styles and convenient design that allows you to fold the whole thing with the push of a button. It’s also been designed to keep the kids comfortable and safe. The fold up bassinet is also a great charm as well.
- Comes with a bassinet
- Easy to set up and fold
- Convenient for parents and kids
- The bassinet is not that much adjustable

4. Baby Joy Baby Playpen – Perfect Travel Crib for Sleeping and Playing
We have already mentioned that travel cribs serve a lot of purposes. Yes, it can also be used as a controlled play zone for the kids as well. The Baby Playpen by Baby Joy is such a product that is more focused on being a play zone and less focused on being a crib. However, it comes with a five inches mattress that allows your child to sleep comfortably after its long hours of playing. This travel crib is also lightweight as it’s made of an aluminum frame and the whole thing can be easily folded and stored on the 600D oxford bag that comes in the pack. These travel cribs can get really dirty. Cleaning the Baby Playpen is really easy as it can be dismantled and all the components can be washed easily. This is indeed a good play zone focused travel crib within a mid range price tag.

5. Graco Travel Lite Crib – A Must Have for The Mom and the Baby on The Go
This one is an interesting travel crib that can support a child up to its 35 inches height. Graco has always been a step ahead when it comes to designing child products. They have literally given a thought on the design. The result of it is visible on the three stage bassinet on this travel crib. It has been designed to give you and your baby the heights level of convenience. The bassinet will not only grow with your child but it will also convert to a playard whenever you need it to be. Travel Lite Crib has been designed to be compact and space saving as well. Sometimes it’s the only feature that parents look for while getting a portable crib. Plus, it comes with wheels and can be folded with Graco’s signature patented technology that requires only the push of two buttons. However, the portable crib can give you a hassle free support up to your child’s 35 inches of height. On top of everything else, we really love the soft hanging toys that come with this crib

6. Elan Bambino Portable Crib – Super Spacious Easy Access Travel Crib
The portable crib of Elan Bambino feels more like a tent as it opens from sideways. We doubt the practicality of the side opening as the seller claims that it will make things easy for parents with back pain as they won’t have to recline to put the baby inside the crib. We have another perspective, the side opening allows the child to access the crib on its own and indeed it’s a rare feature on travel cribs. If you have been looking for a travel crib that the child can use as its own separate room then we highly recommend you this travel crib. This one is also one of the most lightweight travel cribs on the list and that makes it really ideal for traveling, but be notified that, folding of the crib takes a little time to get used to. The crib has a comfortable mattress and the canopy is not just a show piece and it’s quite practical as well.
- Side opening
- Lightweight and easy to carry
- Comfortable for the child
- Tricky to fold for the first few times

7. Fisher Price Ultra Light Day & Night – All in one Travel Crib
We have already mentioned that travel cribs can be used as more than one thing and this is the perfect example of the fact. However the only downside of this crib is that, the sleeping section is more focused on the inclined sleeper making it perfect for child’s sleep and not a convenient thing for toddlers but the children can even sleep on the bottom part once they outgrow the reclined sleeper. Otherwise, the manufacturer has sorted out everything quite well as the changing station is really cool folds beautifully on the side of the crib. It even comes with an integrated baby wipe dispenser. As it’s a separate unit everything is really hygienic. From this point our list is going to cross the hundred dollar price tag mark and we would highly recommend you this model for smaller babies if you are willing to spend a little above hundred dollars. One last noteworthy thing is that, the crib may be a lightweight one but it’s really stable when it’s expanded. The last thing to add is that, it’s really easy to take apart and clean individually.
- All in One Portable Crib
- Lightweight and Stable
- Easy to wash
- The mattress below could have been more comfortable

If you think that you won’t mind the price tag and get the best for your kid then you can have faith on The BabyBjorn Light as many people have gone with it and almost all of them are satisfied.

10. 4Moms Breeze Plus – The Beast and The Best Travel Crib
We had no other option but to pick it as the best portable crib on the list. This is just too great. At first, let’s talk about the biggest con, the Breeze Plus weights more than 20 lbs and that’s just it. You will barely find any other issues with this crib. This one here is the strongest travel crib on our list and that’s why the added weight. The weight is also the result of the newly designed frame that not only gives strength to the crib but makes it really easy to fold and unfold. It’s also a 3 in 1 travel crib so you don’t have to worry much about sleeping little babies or changing their diapers. There’s not much to talk about it actually. Now, you might be thinking that there’s no mattress inside the playard of this thing. Actually you don’t need it as the crib is designed more like a foldable umbrella and the material of the playard is enough.
- Easiest to fold
- Strongest to hold
- Premium materials
- The heavy weight and high price
