I have a bad back, so I don't know how I'm going to cope with him moving down to the bottom level (we have no space for a real sized crib in our bedroom right now, so will have to continue to use the pnp) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pack-n-play-bassinet-gt15lbs#post-1260774 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 05:49:13 +0000 rachiecakes 1260774@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@dreamocracy: the Rock N Play sleeper is pretty inexpensive, easy to fold up when not in use and was high enough to reach over to him next to me in bed.<br /> - as an alternative to purchasing a mattress, which isn't recommended with a pack n play. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pack-n-play-bassinet-gt15lbs#post-1260713 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 01:56:50 +0000 MrsLilybugg 1260713@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yea I kinda ignored that warning since I saw so many great reviews on the mattress I bought from Amazon, and she sleeps soooo much better on this mattress!! I can see how less convenient reaching down would be if they are in the bottom section. Plus it makes Me feel like she's on the floor :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pack-n-play-bassinet-gt15lbs#post-1259043 Wed, 04 Dec 2013 12:10:23 +0000 fairy 1259043@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsLilybugg: I was considering it, but it seems much less convenient D: I usually nurse her to sleep on the bed and then just have to lean over to put her in the pnp, and if she is rolling around looking for her pacifier I can easily just reach over to give it to her lol. I considered getting a mattress for the bottom so maybe it would be a little bit higher and more comfortable, but I am not sure because there's a warning on the side saying not to use mattresses @_@</p> <p>I think I'll use the bassinet till it starts to sag or the seams look like they are wearing - right now everything looks normal! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pack-n-play-bassinet-gt15lbs#post-1258107 Wed, 04 Dec 2013 08:01:35 +0000 Adira 1258107@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ooops! We just used ours with the bassinet part and Xander's 17lbs!!! My bad... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pack-n-play-bassinet-gt15lbs#post-1258006 Wed, 04 Dec 2013 01:30:38 +0000 MrsLilybugg 1258006@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was wondering the same thing!! My LO almost weighs 15 lbs but I am nowhere near ready to have her sleep in a different room. What about removing the top bassinet part and having them sleep in the lower 'play pen' area? I bought a mattress (3" dream on me" I think it's called) so I think it'd be comfortable. Is that unsafe?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pack-n-play-bassinet-gt15lbs#post-1258003 Wed, 04 Dec 2013 01:05:15 +0000 autumnlove 1258003@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I stretched it until 16lbs but it was starting to sag! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pack-n-play-bassinet-gt15lbs#post-1258000 Wed, 04 Dec 2013 00:53:25 +0000 fairy 1258000@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daughter sleeps in the pack n play next to my bed and I'm not ready to move her to her crib in her room yet. She has been using the bassinet part of the pack n Play because it is so much more convenient for me to reach her that way while I am in bed and to put her down while she's sleeping. However.. She's definitely over 16lbs and the pnp says that the bassinet should only be used till 15lbs. It doesn't sag at all or anything and seems fine to me, I really don't want to stop using it.. </p> <p>Anyone else all use the bassinet part after 15lbs? </p>
