Overview

Description

Traveling with your little one is a great way to share new experiences, but most baby products aren’t easy to carry (especially through airports). Guava set out to change that. To keep your hands free, the Lotus Carry Bag converts into a comfortable, easier-to-carry backpack.

At 13 lbs, the Lotus is over 50% lighter than traditional portable cribs. For breathability, every side of the Lotus uses mesh from the top panel to below the mattress.

When it’s set-up, the Lotus features a handy side zipper door. You can unzip the lockable door to comfort your little one and help them fall asleep, or turn the travel crib into a crawl-friendly playard for toddlers.

The Lotus comes with an insulated, waterproof mattress made out of high-quality padding for comfort and protection. The mattress is floor-resting, which helps prevent squeaking and shaking, and makes the Lotus easier to carry and move. The aluminum frame and overbuilt hinges will stand up to years of use.

It’s also Greenguard Gold Certified.

Excellent travel crib
We have been using the Lotus for 5+ months now (little one is almost 9mo), and it occurred to me today that 1) it's great and 2) I hadn't reviewed it anywhere. At this point we primarily use it for naps, so the baby can nap in the living room during the day. We leave it set up all the time for this reason. We've also brought it on 5(?) trips already and have used it for naps, overnight sleeping, and a place to contain him when needed. The MOST important feature is the side flap + that it's right

Our 5 month old LOVES it!

Not only does it take seconds to set up, but our 5 month old takes great naps in it! Just as good as his crib at home. The backpack feature makes it possible to carry a car seat and diaper bag. I can't wait to take it on vacation and put it to the ultimate test!

Even better than I was expecting! So easy to set up and break down, a safe place for baby to play, and easy for me to nurse her in it and roll away with no transfer madness!!! 10/10 product.

Well made, wonderful for traveling
Truly, this sets up in less than a minute. VERY small and portable when packed up, yet feels quite sturdy. Stores back in the bag very easily. Using it on a road trip, and setting up/packing up is a breeze. We also use it at home to practice napping in her own room. Great quality product.
