Napping and vacation go hand in hand, right? Perhaps not for me, as I traveled last month with 5 kids to the Caribbean, but the babies certainly napped soundly.
My babies are very flexible.
Napping on the go and in unusual places, but I was concerned about finding a place for them to nap that was not only comfortable but also shaded and safe.
My kids have often slept in a stroller, but I always worry that they will wake up the moment my eyes are off them and they will squirm out of their seatbelt and fall.
I found the perfect solution!
Napping Nicely On Vacation With PeaPod Plus
The PeaPod Plus made by KidCo is a padded and sheltered napping environment.
Now I would never suggest children being left unattended, but this solution certainly eased my concern.
The PeaPod is lightweight and easy to pack and to carry.
It fit nicely into our suitcase and my husband carried it over his shoulder to destinations that we thought might warrant a nap.
Folding it up took some finesse initially.
It folds and pops itself back up similar to some tents.
It was slightly larger than I initially expected, which turned out to be a good thing, so I could get my two youngest in there together.
The side windows can remain closed, or just a mesh.
The main ‘door’ can be wide open, or have the mosquito netting closed.
This would be very useful when we spend the summer at the cabin that has it’s fair share of bugs! I am looking forward to using the PeaPod this summer.

so adorable, i think these are wonderful, i know i used little tents for the beach to keep the sun out of the children’s face, great post and thanks for share 🙂
I would use this at the lake or even take camping.Thanks for the chance!
This looks fabulous! Im always worried about sleeping arrangements when we take our kids south. This could even be a great alternative to the rickety “cribs” resorts usually offer in the rooms.
I love our Peapod Plus. It has saved us in so many situations!
I want one! Even just at home so I can play outside with my older boys while the baby naps safelt nearby,protected from sun and bugs. I have seen them around but never really understood how it could be of use to me until I read this. Entering to win right now. And adding one to my wishlist in case I don’t win.
This looks a terrific item to take with you to the beach, camping or just picnicking. It even looks like it might be light enough for backpacking. I would love to win one for my babies.
That is genius! I wish this was around a few years ago when my youngest was smaller.It was so hard to keep him in the stroller anywhere while he napped, he never was comfortable from being restricted.
I should get this before our beach trip this summer. It would be PERFECT for our little one!! Keeps the sun & sand off of them, but lets that great breeze in…
I need to get me one of these! My kids would love this.
And it would be so much nicer than lugging around our big bulky heavy pack and play everywhere.
oh and I would totally use this like…everywhere. I’m thinking it would probably stay right in our car for any time we might need it.
Sleeping in paradise. I bet mom and dad are enjoying some coconut filled drinks… but does this keep the kids cool enough?
The sides are mesh, so the wind blows right through. It also keeps the kids shaded, which will keep them cooler.
We had one for our son when we went to the Caribbean…best purchase! Ours was smaller (folded to fit into my diaper bag) to fit only one infant. It was great to have somewhere safe to put him where he was protected from the sun and wind. I recommend it to everyone, whether going to Mexico or Kitsilano 😉
This is so neat! It is great to have a place for the kids to take a nap that is comfortable! It can block the sun or block bugs! I love that! My niece needs this!
Awesome review! Love the mosquito netting idea for both the breeze and keeping bugs out. And it must be easy to carry around if you managed it and all your kids!
I would use it at the lake and at the beach!
Perfect for days at the swimming pool!
I would love this for my soon to be born grandson. I know my daughter-in-law would get more use out of it than I would. But since it is portable, I could borrow it for reading outside during naptime. I love the versatility of the PeaPod.
I would so use this at our trailer in the summer! Would be a life saver!
GREAT photos!
We would use this when we go to grandmas house to visit which is a few hours away. We would also use in the living room to “watch movies while camping”.
I’d gift it to my nephew who just recently had the cutest little baby.
I’d use it when ever out at the park or on the beach.
I LOVE these, we have one for each of our kids. So much easier than a pack and play to haul around. We have to stay in hotel rooms for extended periods sometimes for my husband’s work, and this gives my kid’s a little room within a room–all of us get a little more privacy.
We would use this awesome tent every where & all the time ~ even inside ♥ perfect design ♥
We would use for the baby when we take our older children to the park.
Actually, on the beach. We love the beach!
My husband plays in volleyball tourneys all over and this would be awesome to use at our own sand court or at any of the beaches we will be going to all summer! Thanks for the great giveaway!
We live in California so I would definitely be using this on the beach! Also, camping and any other outside activities we go on. Great idea, and seems less heavy and inconvenienient as the packnplay.
I would use it at outdoor festivals and at the cottage!
We’d use it in the backyard!
My niece is expecting her first. I would give it to her.

This looks like a great thing to take to the beach! Do they make them in adult sizes???
We live in Florida, so I would use it when we go to the beach, to play soccer or to the park or if we get the chance to get away somewhere. 🙂
This would be awesome to take to track meets when my husband is coaching and little one wants to nap or to Grandma’s. There are so many place we could use it
I would give it to my niece to use for her two kids when they go to grandma’s house 🙂

My parents have a beach house so we would use at the beach all summer!
I’d use it at grandma’s house and at the beach.
I would use it in my back yard.
I would definitely use this on vacation in Mexico! It would be great to use on the beach or at Nonna’s house as well.
We live right across the street from a huge park with a lake in it and all sorts of paths, trails and activities where we like to meet up with friends and family for picnics. This would be perfect for keeping our baby safe and cozy on our family adventures! Thanks for the opportunity!
Great for us Californians at the beach…and we are beach bums. Santa Cruz is where we would put it to the best use.

I love the mosquito netting ~ this PeaPod~ would become part of the family ~ from just being in the backyard to anywhere we go ♥
Awesome design ♥
This would be used on a daily basis for us out in our yard. We spend most of the day every day outside once the weather is nice. This would also be handy for those trips to the beach and when camping around the campsite.
We would use this when we go to the beach in May and throughout the summer while we are out (:
