#7 SlumberPod
This product was recommended by Katy Mallory from SlumberPod
SlumberPod brings rest and relaxation back to family vacations. For many families, it’s a vacation bust to find out children who sleep well at home struggle to sleep in hotel rooms — leaving parents feeling sleep deprived and frustrated. This was true for Katy Mallory, who used homemade solutions to create a visual barrier between her and her baby while traveling. These were a pain to set up, and she found them lacking in safety and privacy. That’s why she, along with her mother Lou Childs, created SlumberPod. It’s tall enough for a toddler to stand inside, and packs down small enough to fit in carry-on luggage. Most importantly, it provides a safe, easy and portable solution to make vacations more restful and fun for everyone.
