3.0 Portable Sleep Pod Baby Blackout Canopy Crib Cover, Sleeping Space for Age 4 Months and Up with Monitor Pouch, Pack n Play Blackout Cover, Baby Travel Essential (Black/Grey)

High five to Amazon for getting this to me two days early right at nap time for our first day of construction at home! Kids rooms are first, so everyone is sleeping with mom and this arrived just in time! Pros: 1. Super soft stretchy material makes it easy to work with putting it over a Hiccapop inflatable toddler bed. I setup our pack-n-play and my toddler’s head and feet touched the top and bottom length wise. I legit had just set it up when this and our Hiccapop inflatable toddler bed arrived at the door just a few minutes later! It fit perfectly over the bed, just had to stretch it over. The stretchy jersey knit fabric plus the open base and tent poles made that easy and didn’t compromise the pod. 2. The net for the fan and the clear plastic pocket for the baby cam are both super easy to access at the top of the pod. 3. You don’t need to buy the fan/pod combo, you can put any small fan in the mesh pouch as it is not a special shape, just a generic pouch. 4. Easy setup. If you’ve ever set up a tent before, you will find this easy and self explanatory. The instructions are on the carrying case that comes with it. I didn’t use the pack-n-play to set up, just did it on the floor like I would a tent. Cons: 1. That price tag is pretty hefty. While I’m happy with the purchase, I still cringe when I think of how much I spent on it. I took the plunge due to how many friends said it was worth it. 2. It’s pretty warm inside, so if you’re not in a cool room, no fan is going to keep it cool, you might just have to keep the window part unzipped and open to get air in.

We really wanted this product to work so our child could have her own space when traveling and staying in hotels. However, two main things were problematic for us - first, it does not fit over a crib - only a pack-n-play. We prefer to get cribs when at hotels as they are usually more comfortable for our child and that immediately ruled this out for us. Second, the inside gets pretty hot - even with the added fan attachment. We were too worried about it getting too warm, so we chose to return this.

I purchased this with the Hicapop inflatable toddler bed and they work perfectly together. My 2 year old is way too big for a pack n play and moves around way too much to be able to sleep in a hotel bed, so this combo was recommended to me by a mom in a Facebook group for moms. It is NOT a cheap option….but will definitely last for all our kids and also the resell value on these things on FB marketplace is great!

Much bigger than I expected, you need a big space to set it up. It’s a cumbersome set up initially, but it’s worth it.

This does exactly as advertised—provides a dark space for baby to nap in the pack n play anywhere we are! We use this any time we have to share a room with baby or we’re traveling and want to give our guy the best shot at a real nap and a good bedtime when the sun is still out. It provides the blackout he’s used to at home AND provides some separation for him when we’re sharing the same room so we don’t need to hide from view or keep the lights off. We’ve never used a fan with ours and it has never felt warmer inside the pod than the rest of the room. Love that it has an overhead pocket for a video monitor, and I love that it’s footprint is only as big as the pack n play itself! I do have a tricky time with assembly sometimes when the room I’m in doesn’t allow a lot of room for the tent poles to be extended, but has never kept us from getting it set up and the benefits far FAR outweigh this minor momentary struggle. We will never take another trip without it as long as we’ve got crib-sized kids!

Amazing product. We live in a 2 bedroom and needed the baby to stay in our room for a while. But our room is so light in the afternoons. This product was perfect for us. Made naps/sleeping so much better.

This thing is great! We travel often to go see family out of town and we take this thing every time! It provides a dark sleeping experience which our child is used to at home and we dont have to mess with anything temporary on the windows of wherever we stay. If you travel with your child at all and they need a dark room, just get it. Worth every penny!

This creates a total pitch black pod for our 1 year old to sleep in when we travel. In the past, he woke up due to light or seeing an unfamiliar area and started crying. This sleep pod eliminates all of that. Love the pouch for a monitor and love the fan for circulation (only comes with some models). The only downside is the putting up of the tent. The rods are VERY long and you need quite a bit of space to not knock everything over in the room as you put it together. Taking it down is much easier as the rods collapse as you go.

So far our 7 mo old is sleeping great in it (first time at nap today), but there is a stitching defect as shown in the photos. One of the top sleeves that needs to hold the rod was stitched closed and cannot be used without cutting a hole.

If you’re traveling and your kids can’t sleep without their environment pitch black, get this. It’s pricey, but would say it’s kinda worth it after a few trips. Setting up isn’t too hard as long as you have plenty of space; it’s similar to setting up a tent. The pod is compact too, it fit on one side of my large luggage plus a travel bassinet. The pod is definitely dark inside. I zipped myself up and couldn’t see much besides small amounts of light coming from the ground. Major con: the fan that comes with it does not blow much air. The little pocket for it does not allow air to pass so there is no air circulation inside the pod. The fan is also very small - like a small desk fan. I wouldn’t trust this to keep my kid cool over night. What I did instead: I used our stroller fans and attached it to the bassinet inside to blow air. This worked way better and gave me peace that my kid wouldn’t feel stuffy inside the pod.
