Featherlight, folds in one piece into its own bag. It scores strongest on very light; the main trade-off is pricey. A confident play yard pick for the right shopper.

Featherlight, folds in one piece into its own bag. Here is how the BabyBjörn Travel Crib Light held up against the rest of our play yards rotation, and where it fits.
On our six-axis scale the BabyBjörn Travel Crib Light averages 8.5/10, with its highest marks for very light and one-piece fold. That makes it a dependable everyday play yard rather than a one-trick option.
Pros that stood out: Very light, One-piece fold. Trade-offs to know about: Pricey, Crib only.
Certification: JPMA Certified. We weight safety heavily in this category, and the BabyBjörn Travel Crib Light clears the bar; build quality is in line with its $290–$320 price.
If very light is your priority, the BabyBjörn Travel Crib Light is an easy recommendation. If pricey matters more, compare it against the other picks in our best play yards guide.
What parents tell us most often: very light.
