Sleepover Solution: Tuckaire Inflatable Travel Bed from The Shrunks

That first sleepover is a big deal for kids. Recently, here at VancouverMom.ca, we had the chance to check out the Tuckaire Toddler Inflatable Travel Bed from The Shrunks. It’s an inflatable bed designed for kids age two and up, which you can take with you wherever you go.

Making Bedtime Safe and Fun

The company behind the Tuckaire bed was founded in 2007, creating products to help kids fight their fears around bedtime. The Shrunks Family was created during the early days – dad, mom, son and daughter, and their beloved guard dog Sunny. Sunny became the mascot that kids turn to around bedtime to keep them safe. He always sleeps with one eye open, just to make sure things are as they should be while you’re asleep. The Shrunks has a focus on creating cool, portable stuff for kids to make bedtime safe and fun, wherever they are, making it a great sleepover solution.

The Shrunks places a huge importance on design and safety. Their inflatable bed is the only one to offer built in guard rails to help children from rolling off the bed. It comes with everything you need: a pump, a carrying bag, and repair patches, right out of the box. All of the company’s inflatable products are free from BPA, lead and phthalates, and every product undergoes stringent testing process for leaks and defects before leaving the factory.

First Sleepover

Our Tuckaire Toddler Inflatable Travel Bed made the trip to a friends’ house for a first sleepover, and it was a hit all-around. The bed is incredibly easy and quick to set up, and it’s comfy for kids. The fact that it uses a crib sheet is convenient, because you probably already have one of those kicking around. Plus, when you’re not using it, it’s compact to store. Also on the plus side is the fact that it’s gender-neutral, and isn’t covered with cutesy licensed characters, so one bed will work for any kid.

The Tuckaire does have a bit of a chemical smell, so you might want to air it out for a while before your child sleeps in it. We asked Perry Chua, Creative Director for The Shrunks about this, and he said, “As with all PVC materials, the smell is unavoidable. Airing it out before using is a good option, if the smell is an issue. The key thing here is that the PVC is safe from hazardous materials, despite the smell.” If you’re concerned about PVC and plastics and the chemicals they contain it’s best to do your own research and draw your own conclusions, just as you would with any purchase. We love the bed, but as moms we also know that there’s simply not a clear-cut answer for each and every family.
