Hiccapop Inflatable Toddler Travel Bed Review

Our Verdict: Hiccapop Inflatable Toddler Travel Bed

A low, bumpered travel bed that keeps a toddler from rolling off, easy to inflate and durable, though a slow leak turns up for some owners after heavy use.

A four-sided bumpered toddler air bed with a flocked velvet top and thick reinforced vinyl, made to keep small kids contained on the road or in a tent.

What's the bottom line?

The included electric turbo pump inflates the whole bed in under about 30 seconds.

A heavy-duty air valve and reinforced weld seams are built to hold air against toddler abuse.

The bumpers actually kept my two-year-old on the bed all night and it aired up in about half a minute. My only note is the pump needs a plug, so I had to inflate it at home before we drove to the campground.

Our Analysis, Comparisons, and Test Results

It is strongest on ease of use and weakest on packed size.

Here is how it did on every metric we tested, with exactly how each score compares to the rest of the field.

Ease of Use

The included electric turbo pump inflates the whole bed in under about 30 seconds.

A heavy-duty air valve and reinforced weld seams are built to hold air against toddler abuse.

It comes with an XL travel bag that fits the deflated bed and pump together.

Ease of Use	Rating
Best in test	9/10
Hiccapop Inflatable Toddler Travel Bed	9/10
Category average	8.1/10
Worst in test	7/10

Warmth

Sitting low to the ground with a small air volume, it does not chill a child as much as a tall raised airbed.

The velvet flocked top feels warm to the touch but adds no real insulation.

You might be wondering:

In a cold tent you should still put a pad or blanket under and a sleeping bag on top.

No R-value is published.

Hiccapop Inflatable Toddler Travel Bed	6/10

Worst in test	4/10

Versatility

Purpose-built for toddlers, so it is not a general-use adult airbed.

Works for travel, grandparents' houses, hotels, and warm-weather tent camping.

The four raised bumpers keep the child from rolling off the edge.

Kids outgrow it, which limits its useful life to the toddler years.

Worst in test	6/10

Packed Size

Deflates and rolls into the included XL bag, small enough for a suitcase or car.

Bulkier than a rolled backpacking pad but light and easy to carry.

The AC turbo pump adds a small extra piece.

Comfort

The vinyl is roughly 40 percent thicker than the nearest competitor and reinforced, which resists punctures.

The velvet flocked surface is soft against a child.

Some owners report a slow leak developing after several years of heavy use, though the maker has a strong replacement record.

What Other Camping Air Mattresss Should You Consider?

Not sold on this one? A few others from our testing are worth a look.

The EnerPlex Twin Camping Air Mattress is our best solo twin air mattress. A one-person twin version of the EnerPlex airbed that inflates fast off a car adapter, with the same cold-sleep and occasional leak caveats as its queen sibling.

The Klymit Static V Sleeping Pad is our best value backpacking pad. A genuinely packable, cheap backpacking pad that is comfortable for the weight, but its low R-value makes it a summer-only choice.

The SoundAsleep Camping Series Air Mattress is our best camping air mattress overall. The most practical full-size airbed for car camping, held back only by the cold that any tall airbed lets up from the ground.
