KEY CONTAINMENT FOR AVID WANDERERS
Our Pick
Play Space
GRACO PACK N PLAY
18.5 lbs -- these play yards aren’t going to fit in anybody’s bag, but Graco is still the go-to when big adventures allow (or demand) a contained play space.
Frugal Pick
Play Space
DREAM ON ME ZODIAK
Crazy price on the slightly lighter and smaller folding option than Graco. Tips the scales at 16.6 lbs. and comes well-reviewed.
Luxe Pick
Play Space
LOTUS TRAVEL
Even lighter than the other two (15 lbs), this handsome travel crab/play space also features an airport-friendly backpack. Just enough room for toys, and Lotus will let you sample their product for a full two months.

THE SLUMBERPOD
To be clear, this is a bottomless blackout tent. Specifically designed for travel, it's an absolute light vault for room-sharing. BUT importantly, it breathes like a dream.

Travel Crib
KIDCO PEAPOD & PLUS VERSION
For packing really light, we love the PeaPod for its ability to fold down and fit in Trev’s carry-on Osprey 40L backpack. That's compact!

Travel Crib
LOTUS TRAVEL CRIB
The 60-day try-at-home trial was our undoing. For our big trips to really far-flung destinations, this thing was a lifesaver once AJ was mobile.
