Congrats on the new addition!

We've had good luck with Westin's Heavenly Cribs for BabyJ, er BigBoyJ who is also 2 and tall. When he was a little baby, we used a Graco Travel Lite crib which worked like a charm! About 30% lighter and smaller than the full sized play yards. We bought a duffel bag for it for a little extra protection when flying.
