DH usually picks it up with LO in it when we want to change rooms lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-the-rock-and-play-sturdy#post-1108645 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 17:42:47 +0000 avivoca 1108645@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got a Moses basket and stand, and my cats have left it alone (along with the crib). They are much more interested in the car seat and glider. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-the-rock-and-play-sturdy#post-1108603 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 17:29:31 +0000 Dandelion 1108603@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bookish: That's nice to know (not that you fell, but that it didn't!)</p> <p>Is it heavy? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-the-rock-and-play-sturdy#post-1108588 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 17:21:15 +0000 Bookish 1108588@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know you got your replies already, but I'll just add that I tripped and fell into our rnp (not while the baby was in there, thankfully!) and alll of my weight landed on it. Didn't even budge....thing is solid lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-the-rock-and-play-sturdy#post-1108574 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 17:14:42 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1108574@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Dandelion: our cats were terrified of the rocking motion. They each jumped in it once and learned their lesson! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-the-rock-and-play-sturdy#post-1108543 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 16:54:26 +0000 Dandelion 1108543@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh, good! Thanks for all the replies! (I forgot I asked this earlier, and just remembered to check the answers, lol)</p> <p>I might get one after all...now I just have to figure out how to keep the cats out of it... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-the-rock-and-play-sturdy#post-1107124 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 09:30:53 +0000 JoJoGirl 1107124@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! The legs aren't even straight (curved on the bottom so it rocks), so even if they hit it, it'll just.. rock. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-the-rock-and-play-sturdy#post-1107116 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 09:29:42 +0000 LovelyPlum 1107116@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Good thread! We're looking at getting one because it will keep LO off of the floor. We have a large, somewhat clumsy dog, too, but I am less worried about the RnP than I would be a bouncer. She's good about not knocking things over, but not so much about watching where she steps... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-the-rock-and-play-sturdy#post-1107114 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 09:29:25 +0000 charlotte 1107114@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think its super sturdy. Our 70 lb lab runs by it all the time and it just sets off the rocking motion, I would never worry about him tipping it over unless he jumped on it or something which he knows to be very careful around baby and would never do that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-the-rock-and-play-sturdy#post-1107112 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 09:28:43 +0000 blackbird 1107112@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Study! The legs are metal! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-the-rock-and-play-sturdy#post-1107099 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 09:26:13 +0000 Mrsbells 1107099@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It is very sturdy, if the dog bumps into it, it will just rock back and forth which is what is is meant to do when you are trying to rock the baby to sleep </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-the-rock-and-play-sturdy#post-1107089 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 09:24:37 +0000 Foodnerd81 1107089@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like it because it gives her a safe place to sleep or hang out where she is away from the dog (compared to a bouncy seat or swing on the floor). My dog is pretty small- &lt;30 lbs, but it is plenty sturdy to me. I think it would be fine unless they really crashed into it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-the-rock-and-play-sturdy#post-1107086 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 09:24:11 +0000 Dandelion 1107086@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: What about the legs? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-the-rock-and-play-sturdy#post-1107084 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 09:23:08 +0000 autumnlove 1107084@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's sturdy. The seat is hard plastic with a cover on it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-the-rock-and-play-sturdy#post-1107078 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 09:20:22 +0000 Dandelion 1107078@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've thought about getting a Rock and Play for LO to be, but I have 2 (large, oafy) dogs and I worry about the sturdiness of it. They can be careful, and I'm sure I can get them to stay away, but there's still a chance that they could hit it with a tail or something.</p> <p>I do have a p&amp;p, with a bassinet insert, and a crib, but I was just wondering about this about the r&amp;p, since it's smaller and a lot more portable. </p>
