Splash Toys - Pea Pod Babies (Random Model) - Out the Little Pea to Discover The First Surprises, 30859, Blue, Purple, Yellow, Pink

Product Information

I think the roll-up side flaps are a nice feature. I would open them and use a fan pointed at the KidCo PeaPod Plus tent if it was too hot. Develop a set of recommendations for complete and transparent reporting of study procedures when using Pea Pod.

While I really loved the KidCo PeaPod Plus portable travel bed, it wasn’t perfect. Here are some of the things I didn’t love about the KidCo PeaPod Plus: Using a blanket underneath the PeaPod for extra comfort. Roggero P, Gianni ML, Amato O, Liotto N, Morlacchi L, Orsi A, et al.

The KidCoPeaPodandPeaPod Plusare both similar shaped collapsible travel tents that fold up into a circle.

Warning

So while the KidCo PeaPod Plus is rated up to 5 years old, I imagine most kids will want to stop using it around 4 years old. Despite that, we still got many years of good use out of it.

Only two studies have specifically evaluated the accuracy of Pea Pod in pre-term infants, both using isotope dilution (Table 1) [ 50, 51]. Roggero et al. referenced Pea Pod with a two-compartment model and included 10 pre-term infants (≤36 weeks) aged less than one month with mean (SD) weight of 1.83 (0.21) kg [ 50]. The 95% limits of agreement for FM% were − 3.4% to 2.8% with no bias [ 50]. Forsum et al. [ 51] measured 14 pre-term infants at 32 to 35 weeks of gestation in the first week with a mean (SD) weight of 2.04 (0.33) kg. Compared to a three-compartment model, the 95% limits of agreement were relatively wide (− 6.8% to 4.8%) but there was no bias. This study also showed that at higher FFM density, Pea Pod underestimated FFM density. Reproducibility Pereira-da-Silva L, Cabo C, Moreira AC, Papoila AL, Virella D, Neves R, et al.

I discovered the KidCo PeaPod Plus travel bed after a friend recommended it to me for a family trip to Japan. I loved it so much, that we continued to travel with a KidCo PeaPod Plus travel tent on our family trips for many years. A popular toddler travel bed, I loved its compact size and how easy it was to fold. My kids loved their PeaPod travel bed and based on my years of traveling with one, I would recommend it to any family looking for a good toddler travel bed.

What You’ll Find in This KidCo PeaPod Plus Review:

The flaps rolled down on the KidCo PeaPod Plus also work to help eliminate distractions when sharing a room. The Pea Pod system calculates FM from body weight, volume and the density of FM and FFM. It is well documented that the density of fat mass is constant at 0.9007 g/ml, though the density of FFM varies with age and physiological state. The FFM density estimates use in Pea Pod are derived from full-term infants [ 129]. Fomon et al. based their model on the measurements of protein, minerals and water in FFM [ 129], and Butte et al. on the measurements of body weight, body protein, bone minerals, and body water [ 130]. An important difference between these two models is the estimated amount of water (hydration factor) in FFM, which is lower in the Fomon model, specifically in the neonatal period (80.6% for both boys and girls at birth; 82.7% for boys and 83.1% for girls at two weeks, respectively) [ 129, 130]. Thus the Fomon model may produce FM values that are greater than those obtained using the Butte model. For example, Eriksson [ 91] reported a greater increase in FM% between one and 12 weeks of age when using the Butte model than the Fomon model. Consideration of the FFM model is important in longitudinal research i and when comparing results from different studies. Henriksson P, Lof M, Forsum E.
