As part of the development of Pea Pod, Sainz and colleagues [ 17] were the first to evaluate the accuracy of Pea Pod against chemical analysis and hydrostatic weighing of 24 bovine tissue phantoms, and to assess its potential use in paediatric body composition assessment. Tissue phantom mass (1.39 to 9.95 kg) and fat content (2.1% to 34.4%) approximated that of infants between birth and six months of age. Compared with chemical analysis, the bias for FM% was − 0.04% and was constant across the FM% range (indicating no systematic bias), and the 95% limits of agreement were − 1.22% to 1.13%. Frondas-Chauty et al. [ 44] compared Pea Pod measures of FM% with biochemical analysis in 12 piglets at 2 to 21 days of age (weight range 1.03 to 8.49 kg). Bland-Altman analysis showed 95% limits of agreement from − 4% to 3%. Reproducibility Hawkes CP, Hourihane JOB, Kenny LC, Irvine AD, Kiely M, Murray DM.

I traveled with a PeaPod Plus travel bed for many years, so it’s not surprising that I can list quite a few benefits for the KidCo tent: I liked having the side flaps up for good airflow. There are a number of techniques available to measure body composition in infants, including dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA), isotope dilution, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and air displacement plethysmography (ADP) [ 11]. Local FM deposits may also be quantified by ultrasound [ 12]. ADP has gained popularity due to availability, feasibility and acceptability to parents [ 13]. ADP utilizes the inverse relationship between pressure and volume in two enclosed chambers – employing the gas law of Boyle and Poisson – that allows for the calculation of body density [ 14]. A two-compartment model is derived assuming a fixed density of fat (0.9007 g/ml) [ 15] and from age- and sex-specific estimates of fat free mass (FFM) density. Don’t immediately start with an overnight sleep using the KidCo PeaPod. Use it for a nap the first time. In fact, use it for naps over the course of week before using it at night. Our biggest complaint was that the sleeping surface was made of polyester, which would get our toddler very sweaty. He didn’t seem to mind, but I would have loved a sheet that could be zipped on and off for cleaning. Eriksson JG, Osmond C, Kajantie E, Forsen TJ, Barker DJ.

The Joovy Gloo has a cover sheet that can be unzipped (the zipper is covered by Velcro) and washed. This is a great feature we wish the KidCo PeaPod had. For outdoor use, the lightweight mesh works as an insect screen. The sleeping pad snaps on the outside of the travel tent and is removable for cleaning.
