Best crib/play yard crossover
- Included bassinet and toy mobile
- Push-button fold
- Six available patterns
- Weighs nearly 20 pounds
- Not as compact as other travel cribs
The Graco Travel Lite Crib is a crossover between a play yard and a travel crib. At just under 20 pounds, it's convenient for short trips but not ideal for camping or hiking. It folds compactly with the push of a button and includes a removable bassinet and mobile for infants up to 15 pounds. It can also function as a changing table and comes in a selection of six patterns to match your taste or décor. The Graco Travel Lite Crib is about 20 percent smaller than a standard play yard, so it may be necessary to upgrade to a larger unit as your baby grows. For outdoor trips, such as camping, the 11-pound BabyBjorn Travel Crib Light (*Est. $275) is a better choice, although it's considerably more expensive.
Professional coverage of the Graco Travel Lite Crib can be found on ConsumerReports.org, although this roundup focuses on play yards rather than travel cribs specifically. Despite this, ratings of safety and ease of use will be useful to consumers. Owner opinions from Amazon.com, ToysRUs.com, Viewpoints.com and Target.com round out the overall opinion on the Graco Travel Lite Crib.
