BabyBjörn Travel Crib Light ranks first because it pairs the lowest weight on this list with the simplest setup. BabyBjörn says the crib weighs 13 lb including its bag, opens in one movement and has no loose parts to attach, and the built-in base keeps it standing on the floor. Folded in its bag it measures 19 x 23.5 x 5.5 in, which is the flattest package among the cribs we compared. The mattress and an organic cotton fitted sheet come in the box, the crib fabric is machine washable, and the materials that touch the child meet OEKO-TEX Standard 100, Class 1. It suits babies from birth until about age 3 or until they can climb out, and BabyBjörn sets no upper weight limit. The trade-offs: there is no raised bassinet for the newborn weeks, and the page cites the European EN 716 folding crib standard. We compared documented features and published prices.
