On top of that, the Lotus travel crib is easy to assemble and disassemble. You’ll need less than 10 minutes to set it up. It measures 42 x 32 x 25 inches when set up to give enough space for your child to play or nap. When folded, this pack n play measures 24 x 7 x 11 inches. This makes it the perfect travel playpen for any kind of trip. 

Nothing gives a parent peace of mind like knowing that their child is safe, happy, and comfortable. This is what the Lotus travel crib provides. It is made with your child’s safety in mind. The pack n play is sturdy and stable. And, all the materials used are 100% baby safe. There are no phthalates or lead used.
