The BabyBjörn Travel Crib Light is the simplest crib here to put up and the lightest at 13 lbs with its bag. It opens in one movement, has no loose parts to attach, and stands on a built-in base. The bundle includes a mattress, a transport bag and a fitted sheet in organic cotton, and BabyBjörn says all fabrics that touch the child meet OEKO-TEX Standard 100, Class 1 for baby products. Like the Guava, it has no raised bassinet and no upper weight limit, and it is meant for ages 0 to 3 or until the child can climb out. Folded in its bag it measures 19 by 23.5 by 5.5 inches, and assembled 32 by 44 by 24 inches. The crib fabric washes at 40°C and the mattress cover at 60°C. Note that the page cites the European EN 716 standard for folding cribs. BabyBjörn backs it with a 10-year guarantee and 30 days of free returns.
