Finally, we have the Graco Travel Lite Crib with Stages. At first glance, this crib may look awfully similar to the one featured above, but the biggest difference between the two is that this model is fully adjustable to fit your growing child. Also, this crib is much more compact so that you can fit it almost anywhere without any problems.
What I love about the Travel Lite Crib with Stages is that you can set the bassinet at the proper height for your baby. Whereas most travel cribs just have one setting for the bassinet, this model has one for newborns and a setting for infants who cannot sit up on their own yet. Then, once your child is old enough to stand up, you can place him or her into the pack n’ play area and watch them have a great time.
The only real downside to this travel crib is the size. While the compact frame makes it much easier to set up, tear down, and carry with you, it does limit your options for your baby. If you have big babies, then they may feel a little constrained by this crib. However, no matter what, the Travel Lite with Stages is perfect for any and all newborns, so you should get a lot of use out of this crib regardless.
