Guava Family Announces GoCrib™, a Revolutionary Crib-in-a-Backpack

SAN DIEGO, July 20 /PRNewswire/ -- Guava Family today announced the launch of the GoCrib (www.guavafamily.com), a revolutionary, standard-size portable crib that packs into an accompanying backpack. Its rigid-inflatable-airframe technology creates a light-weight, yet strong and safe environment for children. The total weight of the crib and backpack is 10.5 pounds. Its side door allows the crib to morph from a safe and secure place to a fun play area as your child grows.

The GoCrib is designed to set up quickly, and the included dual-action pump inflates the crib in less than a minute. The pressure gauge tells when it is ready to use. The valves lock open to make deflation fast and easy, and the GoCrib can be stuffed into its backpack like a sleeping bag. The self-inflating, insulating mattress sets itself up and protects children from the ground.  

"Designed for parents sick of their bulky port-a-cribs, the GoCrib finally corrects the obvious flaws in portable crib design families have dealt with for years and addresses the need to create a fun and safe place for your baby and preschooler at home, while traveling, and everywhere in between," said Guava Family President Scott Crumrine.

The safety features of the crib include:

• PVC Free, Phthalate Free, AZO dye free, and Lead Free non-toxic materials and paints.
• Curved sidewalls eliminate hard edges and corners to prevent unintended bonks and bumps.
• Breathable ClearView Mesh allows for full airflow and an unobstructed view of the child, even when the side is zipped up.
• 2 independent air struts fill each leg for strength and redundancy.
• Dual-seal valves for extra safety also make inflation a snap. The air stays in while pumping.
• Anti-Puncture materials improve strength, stiffness, and prevent leaks.

The GoCrib weighs 8.5 pounds, and packs into a backpack weighing 10.5 pounds, including the pump. The MSRP is $249.99, and features a 1-year limited warranty. The product is available for shipping in the US through www.guavafamily.com and in select retailers.
