This inflatable bed by The Shrunks is the perfect travel-sized bed for [toddlers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/parry-cot). Change of time zones, homesickness or the excitement of being in a new place can make putting kids to bed a difficult task.

This inflatable bed at least gives kids an exciting new place to sleep that is their very own. The bed is the standard size of a crib's mattress and blankets, so it's a little more compact than a full-size inflatable bed. Because of it's tiny size, it's perfect sleeper for kids under the age of six.

The small air mattress comes with its own carrying bag and [electric pump](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flextails-tiny-pump-3x), which makes transporting and setting it up a breeze. This is ideal for family road trips and sleepovers alike, provided that young kids aren't tempted to jump on this bed.
