The Itty Bitty Pack-n-Play

Traveling with kids would be so much easier if you could just take their bedrooms. Instead try a KidCo Peapod Plus, which gives little ones space of their own, even when you’re splitting the grandparents’ guest room or sharing a single hotel room. The Peapod Plus is a portable tent with wind screens and a self-inflating mattress pad that accommodates infants through 6-year-olds. Not only can it handle bigger kids than most pack-n-plays, the Peapod Plus is much lighter and weighs just shy of 7 pounds. Yes, only 7 pounds, and it folds into a circular case that’s about 19 inches across and 6.5 inches wide. At that relatively small weight, a Peapod wouldn’t be that much hassle to set up at playgrounds or beaches to give kids a reprieve from the sun or bugs.

KidCo Peapod Plus is available for $89.95 on Amazon.
