Meet the Nidö Mini Travel Bed & UV Tent

Sometimes I come across a product a bit too late. I was looking for an item like the bblüv Nidö Mini 2-in-1 Travel Bed & UV Tent when Cub was 5 months old and we went to Mexico. Both on the sand and poolside, I struggled to keep Cub comfortably in the shade. He wasn’t yet mobile, and he also wasn’t sitting independently. However, he was definitely rolling. So, the only “seating” available for him was not exactly a safe solution.

And when he would conveniently decide to nap while we were enjoying the pool, there wasn’t really anywhere to lay him down without being within arm’s reach of him.

When we were on the beach, I would literally lay him down in the bushes.

Alas, I did not have a Nidö Mini:

The Nidö Mini provides protection from UVA and UVB rays, which is particularly important since you’re not really supposed to put sunscreen on young babies. The mesh canopy is also perfect for keeping out the bugs! It’s not just for the beach either. You can use it at the park or in your backyard: anywhere you want to keep baby contained and in the shade, protected from the wind, and out of any mischief. Little Miss loves to pick up every single twig and speck of dirt when I put her down to attend to her big brother, so the Nidö Mini would keep her safe while I’m desperately trying to catch a ladybug for Cub. (True story. It took me an hour and then he looked at it in his jar for about thirty seconds.)

bbluv tentPlus, it’s a travel bed. Our kids have always shared a bed with us in hotels and when visiting family and friends, but I know this is not ideal for many travelling families. Travelling with a playpen is super awkward (even if it’s called a “Pack and Play”), and the cribs provided by hotels can be sketchy at best. If you’ve got a baby under six months, the bblüv Nidö Mini is a great travel-sleep solution!

It’s ultra portable, folding flat inside its included carry bag:

When you’re ready to use it, just pop it up and into action! The soft mattress is removable so you can shake out any sand or debris, and wipe clean as needed.  Plus, two removable toys are included. The dimensions of the Nidö Mini are just 33″ x 28″ x 22″.

I can also see the utility of the Nidö Mini if you’re not travelling. If you have a big kid and a baby, you’ll know that you spend a lot of time trying to keep the baby away from the big kid’s toys. Now that Little Miss can roll and push herself where she wants to be, I’m turning around to find puzzle pieces and Lego on the way to her mouth. Not only is this a choking hazard, but the big kid may subscribe to Cub’s motto of: “Kid toys are for kids. Baby toys are for babies.” The Nidö would keep the new baby out of the older sibling’s space until she’s able to crawl out!

    This would be AMAZING at the lake this year with my little man, and at Big Valley Jamboree, he will be 2 months old on the 1st. My fingers and toes are crossed to win.

    Can they be bought in store in Alberta? Or just online?

    Would love to have baby outside a lot during the summer but have been a bit concerned about the mosquitoes – this looks like a great option with the netting!

    I need this! We are renovating our yard and I’m constantly trying to figure out where to put the 5 month old to keep her in the small clean area we have!

    Hmm, this never crossed my mind as a super handy item to have! My first is due mid/end of May and I have wondered how it’ll be to bring him along to the oceans/lakes etc while helping him safe and cool, and allowing myself to cool off. What a genius yet simple idea!

    This is PERFECT!! I’ve been looking for something JUST like this but haven’t been too impressed with what I’d found so far. I’m constantly outside working in the garden so this would be a lifesaver now that mosquito season is underway!! 😀

    This also would have been perfect for me when we travelled to Panama in February with my 2 month old babe! (I was in a wedding haha). We love camping and being outdoors, and this would be PERFECT for us this summer, as well as for the future babies 🙂 🙂

    I love this as a safe space to lie with a UV/bug screen; wish I’d had one for my recent trip to Washington D.C., it would’ve been much easier than hauling a pack n’ play!

    I love the built in UV protection in this product. We love being outside but are worried about sun damage and making sure our little one is covered up.

    I think my favourite feature would definitely have to be the UV protection! I worry SO much about my little guy getting sun burns and I always make sure he has sun screen and a hat, but we all know those don’t do the trick 100%! I have never heard of this product before but it looks amazing!

    Oh man I need this badly! Between gardening, days at the lake, and camping this would be amazing for my 2 month old! We get such awful mosquitos, that net is perfect! Hopefully it would fit in a suitcase as we’ll be travelling lots this summer with her too!

    Not sure which aspect I love more.. The uv ray protection or that it would keep the pesky bugs
    Off of baby! This looks like a fantastic product! ❤️

    Wow this would be amazing for my little guy (currently 3 months) while I chase his older brothers (3 and 5) around this summer.

    This is a great idea, love it for the beach or garden or anywhere outside in fact. For me it’s the The uv ray protection that I like the most, followed closely by the bug protection and that it is also a travel-sleep solution. It’s brilliant. 🙂
