Hi! Would this be safe as a temporary crib for an infant for a few months? Looks like the ideal one for infant to tall-toddler transition! Thnx!

It is so colorful and cheery I don't know if it would be conducive to fall asleep in. Plus you would want a thicker mattress pad and I don't know if that size is available. It is a great playpen and somewhere to put the baby when you can't constantly watch it. My grandchild sleeps in a regular size pack and play and I read reviews to find out which mattress pad works in it and also bought the sheets for it. I would think in any pack and play you would want to add a mattress on top of the padding they give you if you plan to sleep the baby in it.

No complaints from my great-granddaughter who received it from me as a gift, or her Mom, my granddaughter. Unfortunately they live across the country from me and I don't have first-hand knowledge. But, having raised four of my own and used earlier models, I think your child would do well therein.

Yes you could probably use it safely for a temporary crib for an infant. It is low to the floor and other than the fact that you will have to bend over to get the little one in and out, he/she will sleep just fine and certainly won't be tall enough for awhile to get out.

Probably ok for short term use as a bed although the pad on the bottom of the Pack and Play is not very thick. Also, you would have to lean over a good distance each time you put the infant down.

Yes pack and play will work as a temporary crib. I would probably get a pad and square sheet to put on the mat as the mat that is in it is not real comfy for all night sleeping.

I would be, the only concern is that the bottom mat is only about a 1/2 inch thick. Not much of a cushion.

We have used it for naps, but not long periods of time. The pad is not anything like a mattress. I don't think it's meant to be a bed.

I would ask the manufacturer to see what they would say. Sorry I couldn't help.

I don't think so. I have a long baby too, and this seems to work well for him at 2 months. I think it will still be good for several more months.

I would say that this mattress is great for any child that no longer sleeps in a crib. This mattress has no way to keep a child in it, so for me personally, I would want to make sure that my child is mature enough to know to stay in a bed, whatever age that is. I probably wouldn't use it for a young infant either.

I would say its risky. I personally wouldn't want anything around my newborn. I would be worried about their neck getting in a position where they can't breathe. I got it when my son was 4 months old and he immediately came off of it and put it over his face (to chew on). I ended up attaching it to the sheets/mattress pad with safety pins. In a month and a half he figured out how to get his arm under it, which made the some of the pins come out. Glad I have a monitor because he could have poked himself. Anyway I quit using it. Not really worth it for a month and a half use plus I didn't see any improvement in his flat head.

This bed should definitely not be used with a newborn/3 month old. The sides of the bed are too low and the baby could either roll over the sides or the sides could smother the child ( especially if the baby was really young). I would wait until at least the child is a 12-18 months old. That's my advice. Hope this helps and good luck!

It is absolutely safe for baby's weight. Just make sure you install the upper part correctly. I'm assuming that it should be safe for baby until they can pull themselves up, in that case you would then lower it to the bottom part so the baby can't pull themselves out and over. But I've seen this one used at least until 22 pounds. There may be a weight limit in the paperwork.

Hello there! Our "little" man is 3.5 months, 25" and 18 pounds. We use the RNP and aren't sure how much longer we will be able to use it. It only goes up to 25 pounds, but your child could outgrow it for length. We still have some head room, but we are thinking he will have transition by the end of August as we use this for his primary sleeping space due to acid reflux. So, you might be cutting it close if you decided to get it. Also, it travels VERY easily! We have taken it on many trips. It breaks down into a few pieces and could fit into a large suitcase. Have you looked at using a peapod?? KidCo PeaPod Portable Travel Bed with Air Pump - Red In any case, have a great time on your trip!

This crib grows with your baby! Our grandchild is only 5 mos right now. We will simply lower the bed in it as needed and then it can also convert into a head & footboard for a youth bed. We love it so far!!! Made well!

It is safe and comfortable for the baby to sleep on the bottom. I'm 5' tall and I just had a bit of a problem reaching the bottom...not much, but a little. My back is in pretty good shape so it didn't hurt my back, that will depend on you. Sorry I can't be more specific. Hope you love the pack n play!

I would have done two separate: reason being that once they are maybe 3 months old and stirring a bit, they kind of almost roll towards the middle/separator and also are more aware of the other one (not very much, but still). They also just outgrow this so fast. I would just have two mini cribs from the get-go, because that is what we ended up using for the next year. Good luck, have fun!

Assuming you mean 9 month old? And it's big enough but I don't really recommend it for that age. (Or at all to be honest)It's really best for newborns. It lays pretty flat on the floor so if you put your 9 month old baby in it they'll just sit in it like you put them on a bean bag... But can easily roll over. We gave ours away by 6 months as we didn't use it for the baby...My 3year old loved it and pretended she was a turtle :) watch out for the seams though- I returned mine and the second one also split (and little styrofoam beads spilled everywhere) so I sewed the second one. I don't really recommend these seats period. Assuming you mean 9 month old? And it's big enough but I don't really recommend it for that age. (Or at all to be honest)It's really best for newborns.

You will still need a crib. After a certain weight and if the infant rolls over, you can no longer use this. Newborns love it!

I loved it and thought it was great design EXCEPT it gets yucky kinda fast. Mine mildewed within about 3-4 months & I would hang it up every time I used it so it could dry. My baby is a little older so I never used it as a hammock, but it looked like it would be great that way. I think for an infant I would want to try that foam flower u put in a sink. I think it would help keep them warmer.

We only used it once, and it was ok for an 11 month old. It is wider at the base than the top of the chair, that gives stability. Also, the baby is snugged right into that seat, which doesn't allow for much movement. Consider how your own weight feels in one of these folding chairs, although I realize that the baby chair is a bit higher off the ground. I am a safety nut with kids(retired teacher) and this seems like a safe chair.

The side does not come off, but I found it would work well as a co-sleeper regardless. I liked the height because I could see my daughter very well while laying on my bed. A portacrib would have not worked as well. I do recommend you get a new mattress. My daughter didn't last long because of the mattress not being comfortable enough. She ended up preferring her crib around 4 weeks!

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!

I used ours up until we had to move and my daughter was 22 months. I never left her alone and i always felt safe with using this bath / changing table...she was a healthy, but heavy baby too! The color we got was a creme as advertised.
