How does the Newton Travel Crib compare with a basic playard?

It adds a breathable mattress core that is 90% air and a bassinet for newborns, plus a side panel that unzips. Basic playards usually have a firmer, thinner pad and no bassinet.

How long can my child use it?

Until your child reaches 35 inches tall. The bassinet is only for babies up to 15 lbs, so most families move to the main sleeping area within a few months.

Is the mattress breathable?

Newton says the core is 90% air and 10% food-grade polymer, and the crib is GREENGUARD Gold certified. That combination is the main reason parents pick it over a standard playard pad.

What comes in the box?

The crib and a fitted sheet. The bassinet is part of the set.

Yes, the fabric is washable. The mattress core is not meant to go in a washer.

How small does it fold?

It folds to 35 by 12.5 by 11 inches and weighs 17 lbs, so it fits in a car trunk and most airline overhead bins are too small for it.
