Can this be used as a crib for a baby to sleep in at night?

I bought this just for that purpose actually. We've been using it for about 7mths now and it works great. Once your ready to lower it I do recommend buying a mini crib mattress. The bottom of the play pen is hard but once we bought the crib mattress ($20) our girl sleeps like a dream .

Yes. Our daughter slept in the bassinet every night for the first few months. We didn't transition her over to the crib until she was 4 months old.

I've known a lot of people who have used Pack N Plays as cribs. They are meant to be a place for baby to sleep. Keep in mind though, that there are no government regulations for play yards (or bassinets), so they may not follow the same safety guidelines as cribs.

Yes. I have a 7-month old and we like this crib. Very simple and love the dark finish. Would def buy it again!

No. It is too small for a regular crib. I use it for a wooden portable crib. It has lasted 11 months now, and looks just like new.

No. This bed only functions as a crib with all four sides. Perhaps you could find a way to alter it on your own.

I have it for my daughter and she loves it! You could use it until your baby can stand up and reach it. If you lower the crib, you could still use it.

I don't think so but you'd know better if your kiddo is a nuzzler. It's not a concern for us for I'm not sure I would have trusted a 13 mo old to use this as their sleeping arrangement unless I was in the same room as them.

Yes, it could be place inside of a crib but I don't think that's how it should be usedfor safety reasons.

Yes. I've been using it as a bassinet since baby came from hospital (she is 2 1/2 months now ) in my room at night mostly but sometimes also during the day I have a two story home and keep it upstairs. She sleeps pretty good.

Yes you can, it has instruction with the crib on how to do that as well as make it into a full sized bed. I noticed another person said no it can't but mine came with instructions to do so. I haven't yet because my son isn't ready but I will be soon. Its a great crib, we really love it.

Yes, it can be used as a bassinet. The sides are breathable. I used it for all 3 of my children, as both a bassinet and cosleeper. It really is great.

I have not tried, but I would think so. This is a standard size portable crib. The folding "mattress" that comes with it is pretty terrible, even for a folding mattress! It is basically several hard slats of wood/cardboard with a this piece of foam over them. Somehow my daughter slept great, but I also plan to buy a real mattress before we use crib again.

The floor piece of the playpen is padded, so it can be used as a bed without buying another piece. We have a crib for every night use, but use a playpen when we're on vacation, etc. Unless you're planning on using it as a primary, every night bed/crib, I wouldn't worry about spending the extra money on something that you aren't going to use as often and would be difficult to store. I would recommend the sheet, though, as the fabric/lining doesn't seem overly comfortable. Graco sells fitted sheets specifically for their playpens, but the sizing seems to be standard among brands of playpens and sheets.

U can. The changing part is flat. An the napper sits baby up some. That way baby don't sleep completely flat. When first born I had to go buy. Another one because I never re dived the one I orded thur amazon. An I bought the bed. The my granddaughter. Was born

Agree with the below ... A crib mattress would be too big and bulky to fit inside. Good suggestion about getting a foam insert. Hadn't thought about since my son seems to sleep fine on it the way it is.

If your experience is anything like mine, I would say no. The mattress sits on the ground, so, depending on your height, it is never the most comfortable thing to put the baby in and take the baby out of and would be horrible to have to do multiple times a night when the baby first comes home.
