She typically had to be by the tv though or outside to have something to look at. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-baby-actually-play-in-a-play-penpack-n-play#post-337399 Fri, 12 Oct 2012 00:51:52 +0000 pinkcupcake 337399@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used the bassinet feature for the first three months, haven't used it since then. I'm considering bringing it out so I have a place to keep L while I'm in the bathroom or something, now that she is crawling... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-baby-actually-play-in-a-play-penpack-n-play#post-337372 Thu, 11 Oct 2012 23:44:11 +0000 house36 337372@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO never liked it for play. We just used it for sleep when traveling </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-baby-actually-play-in-a-play-penpack-n-play#post-335521 Thu, 11 Oct 2012 13:46:11 +0000 cvbee 335521@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>oh, also, ours is at the window, and LO likes to look up at the trees, so that also helps him to like it in there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-baby-actually-play-in-a-play-penpack-n-play#post-335492 Thu, 11 Oct 2012 13:40:35 +0000 autumnlove 335492@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Occasionally, sometimes she plays quietly with her toys and othertimes she screams her head off until we save her. She hates being confined! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-baby-actually-play-in-a-play-penpack-n-play#post-335440 Thu, 11 Oct 2012 13:21:00 +0000 heffalump 335440@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She played in it for like two weeks. Then she realized she didn't want to be confined in there anymore and screamed when I put her in :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-baby-actually-play-in-a-play-penpack-n-play#post-335422 Thu, 11 Oct 2012 13:13:59 +0000 cvbee 335422@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have it set up and do use it for play, but less-so now that he is getting older (almost 6 months). </p> <p>I have mine on the middle-rise setting, and there are hanging toys. I pop him in there if I want to have a shower or make my breakfast while he is awake. I say "Now you can have some time in the toys". If he has recently woken up he's usually good in there for 15 minutes or so. </p> <p>I plan to keep it set-up for a long time so I can pop him in there and know he is safe if I ever need to have him out of my sight for a little while once he gets mobile. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-baby-actually-play-in-a-play-penpack-n-play#post-335408 Thu, 11 Oct 2012 13:11:23 +0000 Mrs. Confetti 335408@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have used our pack n' play occasionally for napping and travel, but haven't actually set it up now for DS (4.5 mos) to play in. I'm wondering if I should wait til he can sit up and grasp toys better or if we can start sooner? It would be such a help now that he's a bit more mobile/rolly when I have to step away to make lunch or something... </p>
