Best pack n play

[Anonymous]

What is the best pack n play? The last one we had had was so heavy. Im looking to set up a pack n play downstairs so I don’t need to go up and down to put baby down and will grow from newborn to older infant.

I was always happy with our Graco ones, but that was a few years ago now, so there may be better ones out there.

We have a Graco that has a changing pad attachment and a little basket that hangs over the edge for diapers and wipes.

Very happy with the guava lotus. It's lightweight, portable, seems comfy, and zips so you don't necessarily have to bend down to put the kid in or get the kid out. We had a Graco but upgraded to this after a trip (the Graco is fine but it's heavy and bulky) and have been happily traveling with it for almost 4 years and 3 kids.

+1, especially if you travel a lot and have more than one kid. Our Graco was so heavy and bulky. The only thing about it that I preferred to the lotus was that it had a bassinet insert that we used for the first few months, and it's great to be able to put a newborn down in that without bending all the way down. But for older kids the lotus is way better, especially with that side zip feature. Once our kid was old enough, we just left it unzipped when we traveled and she could get in and out of bed as she wanted. And it's so much lighter and easier to transport.

Don’t buy Joovy!! Ours broke after a couple uses and customer service was not helpful. We didn’t get a refund.

We got a 4Moms and love it. Sooo easy to set up.

For a true pack and play (that has a bassinet, changing pad, diaper caddy as additional accessory, is easy to put together), I loved our 4Moms.

It’s too heavy for travel though. We have the Baby Bjorn travel crib for that. Easy to install, but with none of the additional features the 4moms has.

pp you quoted. The lotus has a bassinet accessory you can buy, it basically turns the pack and play into a bassinet using the same frame but different fabric components.

I love my Bugaboo Stardust. It came pre-assembled, is lightweight, and literally takes a few seconds to open and close. There are two height levels for the mattress (similar to a traditional crib), so the higher level is great for the newborn stage. Only downsides are $$$ and it's smaller than a traditional pack-and-play. The latter is not a con for me because we have a small house.

Though we had the bassinet accessory and used that as our bassinet with our first (full time) and it wasn’t our favorite. But we absolutely love it as a travel crib/pack and play. I would just get a normal bassinet for the first few months, you don’t typically travel much during that time and if you do a little it will be fine for then

Another guava lotus fan. Also love the zip down door for access.
