It is smaller, so it doesn't take up a ton of room, and we use it every day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-pack-n-play-do-you-use#post-197521 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 14:20:44 +0000 mrs. bird 197521@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: check target for baby trend ones on clearance. they had the baby trend ones marked down to $85 today, at least near me.</p> <p>also on their website they have a safety 1st one with the changer for $70. on amazon that one has really good reviews.<br /> <a href="http://www.target.com/p/safety-1st-little-traveller-playard-green-brown/-/A-13788829#?lnk=sc_qi_detaillink" rel="nofollow">http://www.target.com/p/safety-1st-little-traveller-playard-green-brown/-/A-13788829#?lnk=sc_qi_detaillink</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-pack-n-play-do-you-use#post-196890 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 02:21:07 +0000 looch 196890@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rachiecakes: We have the same one!!! We use it for travel too, and I actually can fit it into a suitcase! My parents bought it at Costco for something like $40 and I just packed it into one of our suitcases and brought it home with us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-pack-n-play-do-you-use#post-196450 Wed, 20 Jun 2012 15:08:25 +0000 rachiecakes 196450@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was just reading the guide on here about travel cribs and we have this one: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001GQ2PLE/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&#038;tag=hellobee-20&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=9325&#038;creativeASIN=B001GQ2PLE" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001GQ2PLE/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&#038;tag=hellobee-20&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=9325&#038;creativeASIN=B001GQ2PLE</a><br /> we never use it in the house, but could. it's great for travel, doesn't have much "stuff" going on so it's easy to pack and take with. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-pack-n-play-do-you-use#post-196430 Wed, 20 Jun 2012 14:58:32 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 196430@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the graco festive dots... or whatever it's called. We use it constantly! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-pack-n-play-do-you-use#post-196425 Wed, 20 Jun 2012 14:56:39 +0000 chopsuey 196425@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a Joovy Room pack and play in orange.

I'm going to hunt for awhile and then probably buy closer to when baby comes. I'm leaning toward the Bright Starts one, because it seems so affordable! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-pack-n-play-do-you-use#post-196139 Wed, 20 Jun 2012 11:15:35 +0000 mrs. bird 196139@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we have one for when our god daughter comes to stay with us. it's similar to this one (i think, but i can't tell it this one has the diaper organizer attachment thing, ours does). </p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Graco-Pack-Play-Little-Wonders/dp/B001EY5BSW/ref=pd_sim_sbs_ba_30" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Graco-Pack-Play-Little-Wonders/dp/B001EY5BSW/ref=pd_sim_sbs_ba_30</a></p> <p> i got it on super clearance at target for like $50. if you plan on leaving it up for a while, i think the graco ones are fine. if you were going to us traveling with if often, i think there are better options as the graco is heavy and kind of a pain. i didn't realize that some of the graco ones have a changing table that folds out of the way and some it's stationary- ours is stationary &amp; i much prefer the fold away kind. if your going to use it as a changing spot, i like having the organizer attachment to leave diapers/wipes/etc in. we don't have the napper insert, but i haven't missed it. the mobil on ours looked kind of lame to me, but she LOVES it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-pack-n-play-do-you-use#post-196106 Wed, 20 Jun 2012 10:48:57 +0000 mediagirl 196106@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a Graco one with the changing table attachment. We have used it so much already! We use it for naps and changes downstairs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-pack-n-play-do-you-use#post-196097 Wed, 20 Jun 2012 10:40:35 +0000 SAHM0811 196097@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Same as Livsmama... Bright Starts Ingenuity playard, but ours is in the Pembrook design. I love it! I did a lot of research and am glad I got this one since the Graco ones tend to be so pricey... I love that the changing table is very, very stable and can be easily swept to the side if you want (if you do this often, just put the organizer on the opposite side). I also like that it's gender neutral and it blends in nicely in our living room.</p> <p><a href="http://www.target.com/p/ingenuity-by-bright-starts-s-b1558mart-simple-playard-pembrook/-/A-13946308" rel="nofollow">http://www.target.com/p/ingenuity-by-bright-starts-s-b1558mart-simple-playard-pembrook/-/A-13946308</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-pack-n-play-do-you-use#post-196089 Wed, 20 Jun 2012 10:35:12 +0000 mrstilly 196089@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a basic Graco one with just a bassinet. At my inlaws we have a Graco one that came with the changing table attachment. We were only able to use the changing table attachment for the first 4 or so months before DS outgrew the weight limit. </p> <p>I like them both and DS still sleeps in them on weekends when we are at my inlaws or at my parents' home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-pack-n-play-do-you-use#post-196088 Wed, 20 Jun 2012 10:34:59 +0000 brownie 196088@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got the Baby Bjorne Travel Crib. It opens and closes easily and the mattress sits on the floor not the poles like others. I also like that it is slightly concave. This makes it harder for him to climb out of. It is expensive but I am so glad we got that one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-pack-n-play-do-you-use#post-196087 Wed, 20 Jun 2012 10:34:28 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 196087@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Can you believe I never really used our Park n Play unless we were going out and needed LO to sleep somewhere. I've never used it in my own house (maybe the fact the his room was on the same floor) </p> <p>Now this time around, I might use it... just when she starts being more active.</p> <p>We have a Chicco brand. Nothing spectacular... and a pain to put away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-pack-n-play-do-you-use#post-196082 Wed, 20 Jun 2012 10:30:13 +0000 LivsMama 196082@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the Bright Starts Ingenuity Briarcliff one. Comes with the bassinet/changing table, and the mattress can be on the bottom or suspended at an incline in the middle. Shes only used it 3 times though, we never left it set up. We never used the changing table/bassinet so I cant speak for that. We only use it when we travel, but for that, I like it </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-pack-n-play-do-you-use#post-196081 Wed, 20 Jun 2012 10:29:58 +0000 autumnlove 196081@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the Laguna Bay model. We never used the changing table, newborn napper or vibration and sound functions. I wish we bought a more basic version! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-pack-n-play-do-you-use#post-196074 Wed, 20 Jun 2012 10:19:44 +0000 mrs. wagon 196074@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a discontinued one we got for clearance at babies r us. I think it's called Sleepy Safari or something like that. We also have a hand-me-down Graco one, just a basic one with bassinet and changing table attachments but no newborn napper or anything. That one has been fantastic too. We kept one in our room and one downstairs for changing and a few naps. So handy!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-pack-n-play-do-you-use#post-196071 Wed, 20 Jun 2012 10:18:30 +0000 sorrycharlie 196071@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We want to get one to keep downstairs for sleeping and (perhaps) changing. </p> <p>Which pack and play do you use? </p>
