Can you use this playpen for overnight sleeping? Will this one do the trick?

Yes this is great for sleep and play. The mattress is softer than normal sleep and play set I have had in the past. I am so glad I bought it.

The mattress is not neatly as firm as my pack n' play. There is no fold in it and it does lay flat. I haven't used it yet though as my 2 month old exclusively sleeps in the incline sleeper attachment right now due to reflux. However her head always falls off the little pillow into the same position and she is developing mild torticollus and a flat spot even though she is only in it about 6 hours through the night. Now that I've noticed I removed the pillow and turn her head the opposite way constantly. I still love this bassinet and recommend it, just make sure your little one changes his position.

Yes I think so! When my LO was tiny I used this and a sheet on top. Now I just use this padded sheet alone for confined playtime.

No but the 35" playpen has that feature, I'm thinking of getting it for my ferret

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.

If you are co-sleeping it should be fine. But if you want it to actually contain the little one, I would recommend a pack 'n play instead, as mine at 11 months could easily climb out.

It would be great for a 16 month old. My little one is 15 months and we use this playpen as his bed. In the morning when he wakes I can hear that he is up by the sound of him happily playing with the fun things on the sides. It is larger than an average playpen so would provide lots of playroom for your son. It is well made and sets up really easy. I highly recommend it!

We use a pad in an overnight playpen for an emergency need, but our little Maltese is trained enough and sleeps through the night where it is fairly if ever used.

No, the tent is strictly designed for one and its function is almost exclusively for sleeping. For a kid I would recommend a more spacious tent. This tent has a very specific application and it is limited to the grass, there are better options available.

Depends where the playpen is located. Ours is set on carpet so we placed weights at some areas on the outside perimeter so our 16 month old does not push the walls outward. Sandbags will work also

I've used the old version and it can definitely tip over if kids are playing inside. When we used them for the first time, my kids were so excited that they kept tipping them over, but they quickly accepted they were for sleeping and didn't have any problems while sleeping. I thinking it depends on your kids' temperaments whether or not this is a good purchase for you. I think they're much more convenient than pack n plays.

Yes! We use it constantly with our little guy. During the day for naps (sometimes he'll sleep with just a onesie or tee shirt and diaper underneath) and with short sleeve/ short pj sets at night. In really hot weather I'm anticipating we may just put him in the diaper and the sleep sack:) We love our sleep sacks!!

We got this bed for our granddaughters (ranging in age from 3 to 7) so I'm not sure how it would do with an adult overnight. It seemed to hold us just fine during assembly, but I think I'd use a piece of plywood as extra support under the mattress if it was going to be for adult use.

I use this for sleep only since the sides are not as taut as a play pen. I also have a play pen for everyday. I love the crib and it has a great thick mattress which my little one loves. It also is very easy to pack in the car. I haven't tried the plane yet, but I would be doable.

Yes, it would take two of the kits to make a playpen. One could block off a small corner making an L shape.

She is 2 this Feb if I didn't trust it my granddaughter wouldn't be in it. Yes it makes playpen. Plus folds for easy storage.

If you are going to use the pack n play as a travel "crib" then I wouldn't buy another mattress. The quilted sheet does pad it quite a bit. I use the "mattress" that came with it with the sheet and it's fine for naps and travel.
