Is it better to get the original or mini?
2010902
In my personal opinion the original is better. The mini seems flimsy compared to the original and as the name suggests it is indeed mini. The original can be used longer because it is larger, the mini is best for smaller and much younger babies. Our original still fits our 7 month old who is 22lbs and in size 12 month clothing; she still has room to spare. That said however, if you have very limited space the small is the second best option. I feel the mini still offers a good option, I would have purchased the mini had the original not been available. The original is slightly smaller than a play pen, and can be used as such.

i have the original and i think is better because of the size, my baby is a big boy and it was very comfortable at the time to breastfeed and sleep him, now he has almost 2 years and he keep using it like a playpen

I went with the original because of the size and it can be used as a regular play yard when not in use as a sleeper so it was dual purpose. I didn't see any value in getting the mini. My baby was big and the mini wouldn't have been any bigger than a bassinet which we found to be too small.

Myself I got the original instead of the mini. The reason I decided to go with the original is because its bigger but not as big as a crib. As far as the mini I didn't see getting much use out of it because in size its comparable to the size of a standard bassinet I. Couldn't see paying twice as much for basicly the same thing. As far as the original goes it can be used for a playpen or when baby starts sitting up you can lower the bed part and with the mini it does not have this option. As far as price the orginal cost a little more but overall I thought it was a better choice. Best wishes.

I have the original and my 5 month old is still sleeping in it with plenty of room to spare. I plan to keep her in there until she's crawling, pulling up or able to move more (probably another 2 mos). I would go with the original if you have the space. It's about half the length of our queen bed. The mini is probably fine if you are only planning to use it a couple months.

Go with the regular edition. Nothing really additional with the limited edition.

the mini really isn't worth the money. I am kind of upset I bought the regular sized one... I should've gotten the larger one.

I think I got and I pad mini 2. I got the one from Black Friday from Walmart last year.

Compared to the kids the mini is easier to use. If your car seat is on both compatable list then go with the mini. Regarding the airport security it stays attached to the car seat and they will either put the thru the machine or wand it!

As has been already answered, I believe it is simply that the Mini is smaller in size.

I would still go with the iPad mini. The reason I go with the mini is because I feel apple makes a more reliable product that lasts longer. The kindle also has it's advantages, but everything you mentioned before about the music, books, and instant video all can be downloaded to the mini as well. I use the kindle app on my mini for school text books as well as personal books. I watch amazon instant watch several times a week. There is also an app for the music, but I purchase all my music through iTunes. I would imagine all these features would come standard on the kindle, so it remains a personal choice for you.

It really depends on what you are using it for and how much you will use it. If you are looking for a novelty item I would go for the small one. If you will be utilizing this I would go with the big one. It is a quality product and you will be happy with it.

Having using both with glasses, I would chose the compact. It is rectangular rather than square like the original. Thus you don't have to turn head much to take a look.

Depends what you want! The mini is more nicer, and lighter, so is more easy to take it to work in my bag! But they sound exactly the same. It's just a matter of size.

Biggest difference is electronic controls and automatic egg turning. See Brinsea's website for more info: http://www.brinsea.com/products/mini.html

My mini is last year's model...it's fine. I don't know what the difference is in this year's mini, if any.

You need to cross check Compaq specs for your mini and the battery specs. If the model numbers match then definitely buy it. Also check the time the battery requires a charge. It's probably worth getting a compatible battery that lasts longer for a little more money.

The "cheaper" deluxe is not really cheaper. It's on sale. It's also a little lighter and has some extra control. Don't think you'll go wrong with it.

Depending on which seller you purchased it from it may be the full size or it may be the mini. You should look at the condition part for each seller for clarification.

I have the mini. I have purchased two for these off of amazon and been very satisfied.

It says it is compatible with both versions of the mini. (It says that in the bullet points under the price at the top of the listing.
