A Grandparent question: My 20 month old granddaughter can climb out of the pack and play. She sleeps in a crib at home, and I was hoping to find a smaller size crib that would fit in the spare bedroom and still be deep enough so she couldn't climb out....

I think she will be able to climb out this crib. Maybe she ready for toddler bed this one will convert into that

My daughter is almost one and still sleeps in it, but we took out the bassinet insert as soon as she started sitting up, so it's more like a small pack 'n play. It's starting to get small for her now length-wise, so we'll be assembling her crib soon.

It's great for new borns to sleep on your bed with you .. After one month my baby started to sleep in his crib. But he was still fit it for when we went to grandma! So I say about 2 months before baby out grows it...

I have a thick mattress and it is 20 1/2 inches at the lowest curve on the side rail and 23 1/2 inches at the highest curve on the side rail. My grandson is 32 inches tall and he has not attempted to climb out but he really just calls us and he is 2 years and 2 months.

My great nephew just turned 1 on aug 5th. He cannot climb out at this point. I'm thinking the child would need to be 2 or 3 before he/she can climb out

I would say technically yes, but expect it to be smaller than the usual pack and play in terms of space available. My daughter did use it as main bed during few months, but did never really play in it long.

my grandson just turned 6 mo. and started sleeping in a portable crib 2 weeks ago, I think that when a child can pull himself in to a sitting position that it isn't safe to leave them alone in it as they could wake up and pull up to the sides and tumble over the side onto the floor, my grandson could no longer stretch out comfortably in it but he still likes to get in it for a supervised nap .

It perfect for an 18 month through almost five year old-depending on how big you child is. My daughter started in hers at 2 and will be 3 soon and is still very comfy in it! I used the mattress from her crib. That's the only size that fits. Only bummer to it is it won't hold adult weight and we constantly have to catch ourselves from sitting on the edge of it :)

We bought it for our granddaughter's short visit. I would not recommend it. She outgrew it less than 6 months. Next visit we had to buy a bigger crib. It is an ultralight mini (2' x 3'2" mattress).

That is a nice little side benefit. It doesn't make it impossible, so a determined kid (especially a tall one) could probably still get out, but it certainly makes it more of a challenge. They simply can't freely throw their legs up like they can without one (though, the kind without feet holes are even more effective.) Our 26 month old hasn't gotten out yet and I would attribute that, at least in part, to the fact that she still sleeps in one. She will likely get a toddler bed before ever climbing out of her crib (she still sleeps well in it, so we haven't felt compelled to transition her yet.) That is a nice little side benefit.

We bought this as a crib for our grandson, who stays with us at least two days a week. He is now 18 months old and is more than 100% of his age group for height... and he still sleeps in this Babyjorn travel crib.. we love it... very easy to pack up and take on vacations, as well as using it every week for sleep overs and daily naps...

Definitely! I bought this one since I am watching my nephew, but had one almost identical for my daughter. My daughter was rolling over at 7 days old, so I had to find something with soft sides since she kept hitting the wood railing on her crib and waking up all night long. She ended up sleeping in it until she was 2 yrs. old. When she started to try to climb out of it I stopped using it obviously. I never thought I would use it as long as I did but she loved it and we ended up taking her crib down. Unusual use I know, but it shows it's definitely safe for a crawler!

We had a pack and play at home. I wanted this product because we would be flying and staying in several hotels and homes. This product is smaller and lighter than a pack and play to travel with. You could use this at home as a pack and play also, but you will eventually have to by a regular sized pack and play later on when the child is a tad older. Try it out- if it doesn't work out- return it�I hope this answered your question.

I'd also like to know the answer to this question. I plan on using the pack n play as a crib. Thoughts?

Buy a pack and play....they're much more sturdy. Perhaps up to one year or a littlt older is ok for thr Bjorn...it depends on the size of the child. Remember, this product is not worth what you're paying.

We loved ours for our twin girls when they were less than 7 months, however we stopped using them once they could roll over. Now at 13 months there is no way they would stay put in the nests long enough to go to sleep. I think I have seen something that combines the depth of a pack n play with the compact lightweightedness of the nests, but don't remember where.

My daughter is 9 months now and she'll snuggle up on it occasionally but I will only let her use it on the floor. She can easily get in and out of it. We let her take naps on it on our bed when she was younger and wasn't able to move around much. She found it amazingly comfy and took really long naps on it :) now it works well for reading books to her. As far as safety, I have no concerns.
