If you have kids, you know how important it is to have a nice travel bed. If we went on any trip we would always have to take along a big play yard for our kids to sleep in. While it was helpful, it had quite a lot of disadvantages such as taking up a lot of space, heavy to carry, takes a lot of time to set up, no shade available, and more. We have quite a few trips planned this summer, and a lot of outings with long hours in the sun and I knew that hauling a play yard with us everywhere was just not going to work, I needed to find an affordable and effective new travel bed for our little toddler!
The Kidco PeaPod Plus travel bed was the solution I was looking for! Kidsafe is an independent child proofer that carries Kidco products due to their superior child safety features. Kidsafe focuses on offering the highest quality child safety products and knowledgeable home safety tips to create safer homes for kids and peace of mind for parents. They definitely offered me peace of mind with the option of having a safe travel bed for all of our home needs.
Can you believe the entire travel bed is inside this small box? Which means it compacts even smaller than this box! This is definitely a much easier travel bed to pack and haul around.
The Peapod Plus travel bed comes in this sleek carry bag, and yes, everything you need for the bed is held inside this bag. It holds the bed itself, the air mattress, and the hand pump for the mattress. Now with many products, sure they have the great idea of an easy carry bag, but once it's been opened after the factory process, it's almost impossible to get the product back into the carry bag! You all know you've dealt with products like that! Sleeping bags are usually the worst one for us. So I'm quite excited to tell you that the Peapod Plus travel bed is not one of those! After folding the bed up, everything easily fit back inside the bag and it was easy to zip close! So, you can still use the easy carry bag over and over again!
The Peapod Plus travel bed comes with an air mattress as well. You can blow it up with your mouth if you so choose, but it also comes with a hand pump for faster inflation. I preferred the hand pump method myself. It features a standard air mattress seal.
Setting up the travel bed was quite simple! In fact blowing up the air mattress was the most time consuming part. With the hand pump it took approximately 4 minutes to pump the mattress up. Then you close the seal and insert it into the mattress compartment of the travel bed.
The travel bed itself, once taken out of the elastic restraint, literally pops open on it's own. Thus it is ready in less than a minute! I honestly didn't expect it to be so easy, and it popping into position on it's own gave me quite a start as I wasn't expecting it, but I sure did enjoy how easy it was to set up.
Now even with the travel bed only taking a few minutes to set up, Jade just couldn't wait! As soon as the mattress was blown up, she just had to give it a try! It is definitely a great size for her. It is big enough to allow her to lay down in all her crazy angles and still be comfortable.
One feature I absolutely love about the Peapod Plus travel bed is that there is a compartment specifically for the mattress. You don't lay the mattress inside the travel bed. There is a zipper on the bottom that you open up and slide the mattress inside. I love this because it provides extra safety for your child. There are no cracks or crevices between the mattress and the side of the travel bed for things or babies to get stuck between. You don't have to worry about a toddler messing around and pulling the mattress up, or sticking things beneath it. You also don't have to worry about the kid getting a hold of the seal on the mattress and deflating it.
The Peapod Plus travel bed also offers protection from bugs and other elements when you are away from your home! This is one of the features I love about the travel bed more so than a typical play yard. I can use this when we are out at the park or other locations away from home. If Jade needs a nap or just some time away from the sun, I can quickly set this up and place her inside. With the screens she can still get fresh air and a breeze but she is protected from the bugs!
The travel bed has 4 wind screens that can be unzipped and rolled up to allow for air circulation. One on each side. And yes, they each feature easy to use slip ties that allows the flat to stay open. The front opening is large for easy access to an infant child, or easy for a little one to climb in and out of without any trouble. Jade was in and out of this multiple times without any trouble doing it on her own.
I am happy to report that I'm not the only one in the family that loves the Peapod Plus Travel bed. Once it was set up Jade jumped right in and immediately laid down and pretended to sleep. She spent a good portion of the afternoon in this travel bed playing and just enjoying it.
I am excited to take it with us on our next family outing to the park, or the next day we spend all day at Grandma and Papa's house! This travel bed will allow Jade to still take her nap and allow for shade on these hot summer days.
The travel bed comes offers:
- 4 mesh panels
- Easy fold, 3 hoop design
- Storage Bag
- Anchor straps- yes you can anchor it to the dirt ground to ensure it won't blow away.
- 4 adjustable wind screens
- 50% UV Protection
- Inflatable mattress
- Air pump
- Fit for use for babies and toddlers From birth to 6 years
- easy storage
- lightweight for travel
- Uses less space in travel
The part I was most worried about was refolding the travel bed. How was I going to get it to fold as nicely as the factory personnel? Yet the instructions were well written and easy to follow and within just a few minutes I had the bed folded up in the same small package that it came in. I also love the elastic feature that is attached to the bottom of the travel bed. Once the travel bed is folded up, you simply slip it over the bed and it keeps it folded into place! All you have to do is slip it off and the bed will spring back into place for use again. Like I said, it is very easy to set up and fold up for storage! I just love how easy this bed is to use!
Overall
We have loved the Peapod Plus travel bed! It is easy to use, takes up a lot less space, is lightweight for travel, and is amazingly simple to set up! Jade loves her new travel bed, and I love that it protects her from the sun, UV rays, bugs and more.
The Peapod Plus travel bed regularly retails for $99.99 but it can be purchased from Kidsafe Inc Website for only $89.99. They also feature other models of the Peapod starting at just $39.99 and up.

I didn’t know the bed was inflatable. I thought is was just a foam padding. This would be perfect for us as we move across country, or better yet, this would be perfect for my best friend who is pregnant with twins and lives in a 2 bedroom place with 2 children already.
This is great! I love how small it folds, and that the pad can be inflated in only 4 minutes. It’s great for sun protection and the kids would love it. I can Just see them playing with it like a fort.
I love the inflatable mattress. My niece has one and it is so great. Thanks.
I love that it fits a child up to 6 years old. I would love to win thus, I’m excited about the chance

would be nice to have for my granddaughter to crawl into.
This would be so great for our frequent camping trips! His own little mini-tent within the big tent…
I absolutely love the compact size. this will help a great deal taking the lil one to and from aunties house without hauling the sleeping bag, and pillow. the air mattress is also a plus! I don’t have to worry about blankets or anything for padding.
i love the idea that it’s coming with an air mattress, i’ve seen some before but it was just the tent nothing else…so this is a big +

I love that it has a hand pump. It’s a good workout
I’m loving that it is so compact
I like that there’s a pocket for the mattress. Makes me a little less leery about baby sleeping on something that is probably PVC/vinyl.
I love that this is light weight and. I also love that the air mattress in in a separate compartment. this also will decrease the risk of the mattress getting punctured
This is such an awesome product. I love that there is also a removable air mattress and a whole zipper pouch for it so the kids can’t really access it but can benefit from it. Awesome!
This is GREAT! I love how it folds down, and pops up! I love that it comes with it’s own air mattress. And I really LOVE how it is something that can be used for many years!
I love this! It looks so much smaller than a pack and play and would be great for places that pack and plays aren’t practical (like camping). I love that it has a separate compartment for the mattress.
i think this is an awesome idea/product! i like that its quick and easy to set up and when its not assembled it doesn’t take up much room so its easy to store!
These things are so neat. I love that I could use it as a protective “pack and play”. My daughter and son would both love them. They are handy for keeping the bugs off the kids and just so portable.
This would be great for traveling
I love that it comes with an air mattress to keep the kids comfortable.
Looks SO easy! Definitely need this for my little one!
Wish I’d had this for my kids when they were young. Now I could definitely use it when my grandbabies come to visit! thanks for the chance.
Wow that’s so cool!
I love the portability of this. I did not realize that it had an air mattress that has it’s own compartment for safety, what a great idea.
I love that the mattress fits inside its own baby-safe compartment, and that there are screens to let air in and keep bugs out!
i learned that it has a easy fold 3 loop design

I’m excited that this works for so many kids. And I can see using this for way more than just camping!
I love everything about this!! But my favorite thing is it is finally something that will work for both my 6 year old and 4month old.
Easy set up and take down, great for the yard, park and beach, soccer games, baseball games! provides shade
Love this! Can’t believe it fits in this tiny bag.

this is so neat, can’t believe you get all this in such a small pouch
This is so perfect and with the 4 windscreens Chloe is sure to stay cool when we are outside
My Family Does a lot of Hiking and to have something the kids can rest in while we hang out and relax would be great. My son is 5 months this will help protect him from the sun and nasty bugs trying to eat him. This would be awesome.
I love the easy set up
I like that it is portable. When traveling space is important
love this, the compact design and air mattress make it so much better!!
I learned this travel bed is easy to not only use but take along with you and not take up your space. It sounds pretty awesome and made me want one real bad.
I need this so I can spend my days at the pool and not have to worry about my little one getting too much sun or heat.
I love the inflatable mattress underneath!!
What’s NOT to like about this product? I like how it’s easy and fast to assemble, and how small it is when it’s in it’s package! There is another wonderful feature that isn’t mentioned: it seems to me that it would keep all mosquitoes out!
That’s a huge bonus where we live;-)
I love that it is not for just babies but can be used through toddlerhood, too!
So many things that I didn’t know about this travel bed! I love that it’s easy to fold back up and actually fit in the bag. Didn’t expect that. I also like that there’s a special compartment for the mattress. I could picture my kids taking it out and using it as a trampoline or something. The compartment keeps that from happening! I really love that they have options in different price ranges. I thought they were all close to 100.00.
This would actually make a really good gift, for my sister’s family. They love being outdoors.
Amazing! I never seen it before! I love the carrying case! So cool!
Love that it is easily foldable and go anywhere ready.
I love this! I love that it comes with everything you need. I really like the carrying case.
I love that this comes with its own air mattress and even an air pump!
I like the set up and the design .I learned it was easy to set up and the mattress goes in the bottom zip compartment.
I love the easy set up. It only took a few min to set up. wow!!!
I love that there is a seperate compartment for the mattress.
From this review I learned that there are spaces between the mattress and the side of the travel bed for things, or babies to get stuck between. I hope to try this for myself because I think my little one would love it when we are traveling or at grandma’s.
What a great product! I love the inflatable mattress!
I wish I’d had this on our recent trip! I love that the mattress has a pocket it slides in to, I wouldn’t feel safe if it was loose inside the pod.
I like that it comes with a blown up mattress and that it’s not flat to floor
I would love to have one of these. I like that it can be used for both inside and outside. Plus it’s easy to set up. I really like that it takes up less space than a pack and play when you have to travel. That’s a big plus.
I love that it only takes 4 minutes to blow up the mattress! That’s nothing! This would be great to take on vacations for my grandson.
This is great! So much better for toddlers than a pack and play!
This looks so comfy and cozy!
What a great idea! I love it and I love Kidco! Great review! Cant wait till your giveaway!
What a neat idea. I love it!
Its like camping where ever you go! How fun!
This is so fun! Ive never seen one before, my kiddos would love it.
That is so cool! Our kids are older now (teenagers) – I swear they have come out with so many neat things since ours were little. It would be nice for using at the beach.
I love this and I think I need 3 for when the grand kids come over.
