Review on 🌿 Organic White Fitted Sheet for BABYBJORN Travel Crib Light: Effortless Comfort and Style by Rhonda Young

**UPDATED REVIEW** We have had the Baby Bjorn Travel Cot for two years now and I still love it and would recommend it to everyone without hesitation! him, put him in a bigger suitcase when we flew. After a year of practice, I was finally curious enough to see if it could hold up without putting it in a larger suitcase. When we first did it (DTW to LA) it held up great. So unfortunately when we checked our favorite travel cot for the third time for a one-way flight from DSM to LA, it was somehow mislabeled and ended up on a flight to China! I was angry. So, after a few days, our cot is finally back with us. He smelled of smoke and possibly polluted air, but he was whole. There are no tears or wear in the travel case, the frame is in perfect condition. I simply tossed the tote bag and crib/net and plastic cover covering the mattress padding in the washing machine and then air dried overnight. I wiped everything else with Lysol wipes. Like new. I am very grateful that in this case I definitely got what I paid for: a solid, well-made travel cot. The crib itself can still fit my petite three year old (35 inches tall). We still use it when we travel and we want her to have a safe place to sleep. She has learned to get out of the crib and can do it easily because the crib is so stable. Not that we justify or encourage it. I just thought it deserved attention. **ORIGINAL REVIEW** I was torn between the Guava Family (GF) Lotus crib and the Baby Bjorn (BB) travel crib. I decided to order both so I could compare them side by side! Please bear with me as conciseness has never been my forte. Tote bags for both models are stylish and discreet. The BB cot can only be carried by the two handles on the top - just like a briefcase. You have two options for the GF cot: as a briefcase or as a backpack. I love how the GF tote gives you two options; However, the quality of the BB case is better. The fabric is noticeably thicker and I suspect it might be more durable in the long run if you're rough with your baby gear. The design of both cribs is intuitive. I was able to install both without reading the manual. With the GF cot, the mattress topper is attached with Velcro fasteners located under the insert. You slide the tabs through the slots in the bottom of the crib and secure them there with Velcro. I was able to close all four velcros with one touch. There's a bit of fiddling involved, but I don't think that necessarily detracts from the ease of setup. I noticed that the mattress pad initially rose up at the four corners, but after a few days it now lays relatively flat. The BB mattress topper attaches with red tabs that thread through the cot's corner slots. They attach with Velcro instead of Velcro. Admittedly it was easier and quicker to attach the BB mattress than the GF mattress because I could see what I was doing. The BB mattress topper was also originally raised at all four corners and now settles and lies flat. None of the cribs had any noticeable odor when installed. As for the mattress topper, I would say that a BB mattress is twice as thick as a GF mattress. You can order a quilted plush sheet to make the GF mattress softer. I personally prefer a softer mattress as my baby is 15 months old; However, I could also understand why others would prefer the thinness of a GF mattress. I'd say it's like any typical Graco Pack 'n' Play mattress. We have a 100% organic cotton Pack 'n' Play sheet from American Baby Company and it works great with both mattress pads. I feel like the overall quality of the material is noticeably different. The fabric of the top of the GF crib does not feel as smooth and comfortable as that of the BB crib. One review noted that they felt the earlier stuff had the potential to hook more and I can see that happening. The upper fabric parts of both baby beds can be locked and washed with a zipper. The mesh material of both feels exactly the same. To remove the GF cot there are two handles at the top of the frame that you just need to squeeze. The position of the handles is indicated by white circles with up arrows. For a BB crib, pull the legs down and fold them. Because the GF crib is box-shaped, its footprint is larger than that of the BB crib. The GF's legs also stick out further than the BB's legs. They are both about the same height. For aesthetic reasons I would go for the BB crib. It's smoother and I prefer the all black look over the grey, white and black colors of the GF crib. What I really liked about the BB crib was the ease of assembly and disassembly and the materials used. I think the price difference of about $60 for the BB crib is fair given its more obvious quality. Ultimately, I feel like you can't go wrong with any of the cribs. They both have their pros and cons. If I could I would design a travel cot that had the sleek, luxurious looks and quality of a BB cot with side zip, carry bag and folded GF cot dimensions. In the end I chose the BB cot because I found it better suited to my family's needs. Good Trip!
