Can this be used in a Fisher Price Rock and Play at night for sleeping? Our little one currently sleeps in that and I want to avoid flat head.

Yes! It's much smaller than what it looks like in pictures, which is nice, actually, b/c it fits virtually anywhere. We have a Rock N Play. Fits nicely in there. Great for car seats/carriers too.

That's exactly what I've been using it for. I just adjust his head every so often to make sure it's supported because since this is on an incline, his head can slump down a bit sometimes. However, since you're feeding every 3 hrs you have plenty of opportunity to reposition. It's the only thing my newborn will sleep in. He wouldn't use the flat co-sleeper bassinet/pack and play we bought--I think because it made his stomach hurt because he couldn't get his burps out flat on his back. This is one of the few incline sleepers. It's very easy to pack from room to room.

There is no "mattress" per se- it's like a tent bottom. We put a couple of thick blankets to line the bottom for our 2 year old and that was fine. For 3 weeks, and given that you have a 10 month old (it's not recommended to have loose blankets or stuffed toys in bed with children under a year old) honestly I'd get a travel pack n play. They fold up and expand to a small crib size, and have more of a "mattress".

I bought this for my wife to keep sheets in and a place for her to sit down. In terms of children aged 4 & 1, it's hard wood and may be unsafe for them. A toy chest may have safety features. Lou

I don't think so. The cot is not wide enough and I doubt you would be able to get a reasonable night's sleep without being able to move some. You might be able to fit an adult and a small child on it, but neither would be able to move much all night.

I use it in my 2 year old's room, but I don't keep it in his crib with him. For our next child I will do the same thing from a much younger age, because I think it establishes a nice patterned light to fall asleep to. My two year old loves when I bring out the turtle, place it on the floor and turn out the lights!

I would go with a pack and play or a co sleeper for a baby that young. I think we used a rock and play for traveling with in driving distance. When we flew we borrowed an arms reach co sleeper from a friend.

We have a delta mini crib, and the mattress seems too "fluffy" to put the baby in. Maybe when she's able to lift her head or even sit up. Right now our baby sleeps in a rock n play, and she seems to like that. You can use rock n plays until their 6 months or 25lbs I believe. Or when they can sit up.

Yes, we did have that problem. We put it up for her to play in before we expected to use it, but she wasn't interested. Since then she has become more interest in crawling into/under/through things. So I think if your child is already at that point, if you put it up for her to play in first she probably would not mind sleeping in it later.

No, it's less of a pillow and more of a night light. If flipped over a child could probably use it as a pillow but then no lights so that kind of defeats the purpose. Our little one places it in bed turns it on and watches the lights on the ceiling until she falls asleep

I would give it a try. My son is a little over 8 months. People tend to think he is younger because he is on the smaller side. He is a very active sleeper so it doesnt work well at night anymore, he usually ends up beside it etc.. But, we still use it for diaper changes, hc, swing etc so he's not flat on his head.the part where his head would rest is about 7 inches across in the middle if that helps. If it doesn't work u could save for another baby or loan/give away but I would try it. We will use it as long as possible, I'm sure he appriciates the extra cushion:)

My son got a flat spot from sleeping (only at night) in the Rock n Play and only for the first 3 months. It was because he favored one side of his head and would tilt his head only one way to sleep. In a crib, gravity would cause his head to fall to the side so he would be sleeping more on his ear, which is flat anyway since it's the side of the head. The RnP is on an incline and allowed him to keep his head more upright so that caused the flat spot. He's 2.5 yrs old now and I still feel the flat spot on his head with my hand. It's not severe but definitely noticeable.

It definitely works in Rock n plays! My babies sleep in them every night wearing the monitors! I would assume it would work in a non moving swing as well.

I ordered this and returned it. It was massive and doesn't have any straps to secure a kid in it. You might check out the fisher price rock and play.

We are having the same problem here- our 8 month old daughter slept great in the rock & play but we knew it was time to switch to the crib when she sat straight up in it. Now we aren't getting any sleep at all and desperate for a solution!

There is no way the baby will wriggle out of this when swaddled. The way they are reclined in the sleeper it's just not possible to do. Our 3 months old sleeps the best when swaddled in her Rock n Play sleeper! It's the best!

I can only speak to the BumpZzzz, my grandniece loves it. Sleeps soundly and when not visiting rolls up nicely. Of course probably not as compact as an inflatable mattress but I wanted to ensure comfort for good sleep = happy toddler, avoiding cranky toddler lol
