No one hurt Made Jul 5, 2012, sent to the company Jul 13, 2012, published by CPSC Jul 27, 2012
The product, in the report: Infant and children’s collapsible travel bed Kidco PeaPod Plus (Red) 8644140205 (UPC) Model number 1108
I correctly assembled the travel bed, and placed my 4.5 month old infant down for a nap in the travel bed. Thankfully I actually remained in the same room, and quickly heard him screaming and crying. He was entrapped between the mattress and the side of the tent, but fortunately, I was able to quickly retreive him. Although I immediately determined that this product would go back to the store, I placed him in the tent again (while I stood next to it to watch), and observed him quickly roll onto his stomach, and the momentum of the roll caused him to roll again and wedge himself partially on his back and partially on his stomach between the side of the mattress and the tent. Again I retrieved him, and watch this happen an additional time. This product represents a substantial entrapment risk to infants.

Death Made Feb 22, 2012, sent to the company Mar 2, 2012, published by CPSC Mar 16, 2012
The product, in the report: KidCo PeaPod Plus Portable Children’s Travel Bed Model #P201 (Red)
On Dec. 23, 2011 we found our five-month-old son dead in his PeaPod Plus Portable Children’s Travel Bed (Model P201). He was rolled three-quarters of the way onto his belly, face down and with his weight pressing him into in the non-breathable plastic sidingof the travel crib. As per manufacturer’s instructions, we had not zippered the travel bed shut, so his legs were hanging out of the “door” of the travel bed. He may have suffocated, or he may have rolled there after/as he died from SIDS, or another cause. Regardless, though, I do not believe that this tent should be marketed as safe for infants. It is advertised as breathable, yet the area where a baby would put his face is wind-resistant and fire-resistant (according to a company spokesman who spoke with one of our friends after the incident), and is not breathable. In addition, the tent is malleable, and a baby can roll into the siding, molding his face and body into the non-breathable areas in a way that would not be possible in the more rigid siding of a [playpen].
