We offer custom-fit mattress covers in playard mode with secure attachments for a safer, tighter fit than traditional mattress sheets.

The Remi's folded dimensions are 11" x 10" x 28.5". Check with your airline for carry-on baggage policies. We offer a TravelSafe Travel Bag accessory if you need to check your Remi with your luggage. Any damage caused by the airline to your product when using the TravelSafe bag is covered by UPPAbaby.
