Comfort: 3/5

The Peapod sleeping pad that is attached to the underside of the crib helps protect that kids from the damp, cold floors and provide them a comfortable place to sleep. However, it is quite thin.

In addition, this infant travel bed equipped with adjustable window screens that can helps parents allow or block light to help their little one sleep comfortably inside the Peapod.

We did find in hot weather that our child did get quite sweaty inside and we needed to clean it regularly.

Safety: 3/5

The KidCo Peapod includes UV protection to protect your kid from the harsh rays of the sun. The light weight mesh surround not only helps promote proper air flow, but also acts as an insect screen and protects your kid from insect sting and bites.  It is hard to keep a sheet in place and this could be a hazard for young infants.  As always, ensure you follow safe sleeping guidelines when using this crib.

It unfolds rapidly when it is removed from its bag, so it’s important that it is not removed near any children as this could be a hazard.
