Can a toddler use the Graco Pack n Play It seems like most reviews of the Graco Pack n Play refer to use by babies. Does anyone have experience (good/bad) using this with an 18-month of about 27lbs? Obviously you wouldn't use the bassinet for this age child, so how well do they sleep at floor level?

My six month old sleeps in it just fine at floor level when she's over at her grandma's house.

I think it depends on your child. My best friend has a boy who grew out of his pack and play by climbing out by 18 months. He would constantly climb out. But my daughter still sleeps in her pack and play and she is 25 months. I know she can get out of it but she doesn't. I just tell her not to. But everyone's child is different. They have different personalities and interests. If your child wants to climb out at 18 months he/she can.

My grandson is 25LBS and about 36" in height. What size pack and play should I get for him when he visits? Any help would be appreciated. I live in Nova Scotia. Any suggestions. I hear he sleeps in a packand play at daycare and at grandma's place.

I've done it before, but be warned the baby can flip over the side if too tall..which is a scary sight to see - take my word on it.So far, both my older children have not slept well in the playpen, the flooring is hard and using blankets/extra padding is dangerous.All of mine were too tall to use the playpen by 18 months.Sorry to sound negative, these playpens are great but we have found them to be insufficient as sleep areas for baby or young toddlers and best used for play.I'd suggest a crib mattress on the floor in a babygated and babyproofed room, or one of those bean pod portable beds.

I purchased the extra mattress that is about 3" thick and cost about $39. I didn't want my "little dolly" to sleep on the hard playard mattress that come with the Pack 'N Play. (I purchased it after I received the Pack 'N Play.) It will be okay for her in future when she is old enough to play but for sleeping I wouldn't want to sleep on a hard board with very little cushion. My granddaughter was past the bassinet stage when she came; however, I did get the pads and would have used them. The bassinet cover isn't that easy to remove. I just viewed Mark's answer and the mattress that I bought would cause no suffocation hazard. It is firm and my granddaughter had no problem with it.

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 :)

I would not recommend it for a newborn. I feel it is way too soft for that. The company does not recommend using it w the graco...we did use it with the graco but not till my daughter was around 8 months. There is a one inch gap between the mattress and the sides of the PNP. If you decide to order you can see how soft it is and decide (it's not technically soft but the casing is not tight enough around the core so it creates some billowing). The company has great customer service and we have many other products from them.

I think you're talking about the higher setting on this pack n play, because this version does not come with a bassinet. I don't know what the weight restriction is but my 18 lbs 7 month old had no problem napping and playing in the bassiet. We finally lowered it because she starting trying to climb out.

For co sleeper and bassinet modes the instructions say up to about 5 months or until baby can push himself up on hands and feet. Doesn't really give a weight limit per se but I would guess about 20lbs is the most you'd want to go.

I would check the manual for weight on the bassinet accessory. Once baby is able to roll around I would take them out of bassinet part. I remember the manual has info on that. As for years, we have traveled and used the playpen as a bed until three yrs old.

I'm not sure, I'd have to look up my stroller instructions, but my baby is 4 months old and weighs about 16-17lbs (I think or more) and he still uses the bassinet. His feet aren't too close to the edge. Even if I lift the bassinet to stroller position now his feet dont get cramned too much at the end. I like this because if it is windy or raining it doesn't get him all wet. The hood of the stroller would be nicer if it was a little bigger or had a middle position. There isn't any shocksystem, but it's a stroller and I'm not jogging or going over bumpy terrain with it. I love the stroller. But I can't see some people not.

We have used it with our daughter since she was 4 months, but recently it was also used by a 15 month old for a nap and it worked perfectly. Granted the 15 month old was sleeping on it more like a lounge chair but it still worked great.

We have a similar pack n play from Graco with the bassinet and yes I think it would work fine. I put my little one down for naps in it. I use a sleep positioner wedge to keep her in place in it and to make it cozier. Ours came with a diaper changing area too which is so handy!

I did not try using the chair when my son was two months old. We didn't get this chair until he was almost 1. However, I have a different chair that reclines just the same as this Graco Slim and I have put my infant daughter in the chair at 3.5 months old. It's a bit big so I put blankets on each side of her. I only did this a few times when i needed to be in the kitchen. I wasn't the most comfortable with doing this but i was very close to her. Now I use her bassinet instead. Hope this helps.

I bought my grandson one and he played with it well past two. Once the baby start walking they play with it untill they get interested in more independent type toys. I would say nine months to two in a half. This is a great item price wise. o

Yes, I've been using it with my daughter and I just had her. And my son started using his at 7 months. But both my children have this mattress and I love it.

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.

We use(d) it for our twins! We used the bassinet part for about 5 months when the twins slept in our room at night. After that, we moved them to the nursery to their cribs for night sleep. When they got too big for the bassinet part, we took that out and one twin still sleeps in it for naptime in a different room (if we put both in their cribs for nap they will play and keep each other awake!). It was a staple for us.

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.

We didn't use it that early with our first child. She was in it at about 8 months. We will be taking our first trip next week and it will be the first time my second child will use it. She is just over 6 months. I don't see why it could not be used with a younger baby though. We did not have use for it at that age. I recently bought a new mattress and pump for our old Gocrib, but the company does not make the actual crib anymore. They now sell the Lotus Travel Crib.
