I just got back from my trip that I bought a GoCrib at the last minute for (thank goodness for overnight shipping from amazon!). I took the GoCrib with me to Texas, the backpack it comes in fit inside my larger suitcase so I was able to ship it through inside my luggage.
I can review it in one word...amazing! So far I think it is definitely worth the heftier price tag. If I would have known about this option before getting the pack n play I would have gotten it instead.
The set up was easy. I practiced one time at home and then was able to do it in less than 5 minutes at the hotel without opening the instructional manual. The pump is manual but is very fast and doesn't make you get sweaty. I would hate to burn any calories unintentionally :rotflmao:. I inflated it once on the trip and it never lost any pressure in the four days. As previous reviewers have mentioned, this is not like beach ball inflatable, it is like zodiac boat material. Very sturdy, very rigid once inflated. I was not concerned at all about the safety or sturdiness of it.
The mattress is pretty thin, but my baby slept great on it so it must have been comfy. I thought it inflated itself, but then found later in the manual that the first few times you have to inflate it by mouth, easy enough.
It is so light, and was really nice to be able just to lift it up and move it wherever I wanted in the hotel. Especially since my husband wasn't with me. I could take it near the bathroom when I needed to shower :)
I have two tiny concerns... I bought the flat corner pack n play sheet that they manual said it would fit, and it was a little snug which caused the corners of the mattress to turn up a bit. I was more concerned before I put the baby in it because once he was in there it seemed to weigh it down enough. Secondly, the mattress basically sits on the floor, so I felt like it was a little chilly down there for him. I just folded the extra hotel blanket and set the gocrib down on that for a little insulation.
Other than that I am in :heartbeat::heartbeat::heartbeat:.
I'm happy to answer any other questions if anyone has any.
