It is so hard to figure out what is safe!
Thread: "Travel crib recommendations?"
I got the silver cross one as well. The sheets thing is annoying though but we’ve been fine without it. Anything that goes on the mattress just wipes off really easily. I guess the sheets are hard because they need to have holes for the elastics that hold the mattress down. The reason i got that one is because we use it as her bed at grandmas .
Thread: "pack n play safe sleep?"
I looked at the ones the other redditor mentioned, it looks like the [guava lotus](https://www.guavafamily.com/products/lotus-everywhere-travel-crib). I wonder if it’s the way the shape is constructed and the mattress sits on the floor instead being elevated in the pack n play? And it’s all mesh versus being any hints of fabric on the sides.

Here's what the Health Canada website has to say on the matter: “Playpens are not intended to be used for unsupervised sleep because they do not meet the same safety requirements and are not as durable as cribs.” When you are using your playpen, keep the sides securely locked in place. Never leave your baby in a playpen with any side down. A baby can roll into the space between the mattress and the mesh side and suffocate. Check that the mattress pad is firm. Mattress pads that are worn down in any area could create a suffocation hazard. Large toys or stuffed toys that can be used to climb out of the playpen should not be placed in a playpen with your baby. Check for tears in vinyl rail coverings, mesh panels or the mattress pad of the playpen. Your baby could bite off small pieces and choke.](https://www.canada.ca/en/health-canada/services/consumer-product-safety/reports-publications/consumer-education/your-child-safe/sleep-time.html)
Thread: "Anybody go with the pack n play with a moses basket option for their baby to sleep in vs halo, snoo, and other bassinet options?"
We purchased the Silver Cross slumber travel crib - it is approved for safe overnight sleep both with the bassinet attachment and in travel crib mode. We plan to use it as her main sleep space in our room for the first few months, and then as a travel crib once she transitions to the nursery.

Thank you!! I've been researching safe sleep options for babies since we're hoping to do a month-long trip to visit family overseas when baby is 6 months. I know other threads have mentioned that Pack n plays are okay for sleep if done right since they are approved in the US. I'm debating whether I should get this one or just a regular pack n play. We already bought a Snoo to use at home AND we have the Uppababy Vista bassinet to use as a travel bassinet for my parents or when we're on the go locally, so I'm kinda hesitant to add another sleep option if it's not completely needed. Would appreciate anyone's insight.

A lot of people have suggested the Graco

Silver cross one is. It’s what we opted for. Not sure about flying with it since we will only car travel. The only catch is you need specific sheets for it and those aren’t sold in Canada yet.
