I'm currently sharing space with baby and she's getting too big for her rock n play - would this be a good option for a regular sleeping arrangment?

Well bed is not that thick I think it's ok for a few days but not for a long term thanks

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.

Maybe? This has come up on car-seat.org several times. It seems Diono has said yes it is OK, but they had to draw the line somewhere. If you feel your child is OK in the more upright position, then I guess it becomes a parental decision. I will point out, though, that my 2 1/2yo often slumps in this seat when sleeping, so with an 8mo, it might be even worse. I don't think you're going to get a hard and fast yes or no. You could call diono yourself and see what they are currently saying. http://www.car-seat.org/showpost.php?p=2139611&postcount;=35

A crib sheet would probably be too big. A pack and play sheet would probably work better but even that wouldn't fit perfectly. A bassinet sheet maybe? I opted to just not use a sheet and it worked fine.

I suppose it could be used as a cosleeper, but it's soft all around (i.e. you can't pick it up with baby in it, the bottom would likely collapse), and the sides would squish in if you were sleeping next to it and happened to press against it (which would make it smaller).

For my little guy, for sleeping, yes he was too big. I still used it at 3-4 months for a quick hands free moment-bathroom, shower, etc. But my son is a mover and not satisfied sitting still, he was always trying to wiggle out of it.

I would go with a pack and play or a co sleeper for a baby that young. I think we used a rock and play for traveling with in driving distance. When we flew we borrowed an arms reach co sleeper from a friend.

We were in the same situation when we ordered our sleep soon. I went with the bigger one. Our little one was swimming in it, but it wasn't a problem for it to be too big. It might be easier to get it on and off when it is big rather than small. I got the big one thinking she would grow into it, but in reality she didn't need it that long. Before she really fit into it, we were done using it.

This is confortable, we use this in a afternoon walk at the mall, for example. The space is good if the seat is not reclined. If the baby needs to take a nap the seat should be turned, and then you can carry both at same time. I do recomend this board.

This will be too big and too long. But since kid's feet can stick out, your kid may be okay with it. My child wasn't bothered too much, but the sleepsack was sweeping the floor when he got out of bed in the morning.

I would highly recommend this for travel. Unless you need something to let the little one play in, I would pick this over the pack n play. My little one sleeps better in the rocker than she ever did in the pack n play and you don't have to worry about the assembly either.

Sorry, my kiddos are bigger. I think it would be too big for that, a rolled up receiving blanket might be better. Mine Always slumped to the side at that age...

I was also having a hard time deciding between the two. I think I have finally decided on the graco pack n play with bassinet. It is cheaper and can later be used as a playpen/crib when the baby is more than 15 lbs. Also, it folds up and is easy to use for travel, I am not sure the co-sleepers do that.

I ended up cutting the canopy off...My baby would put her feet up and it got in the way. I do like how open it is. I compared this to the rock n play bassinet and thought the dream on me has more air room with the mesh sides.

Same problem here, he just will not stay asleep in his crib but in the rock n play he sleeps all night. He is now 7 months and I don't know what to do because we need him to now be in the crib. I am also at a loss at what to do....I guess we will just have to have him be in the rock n play sleeper tell he is just too big for it. I don't really understand the problem with him being in the crib, I understand that there is no incline in the crib but I am so worried because I don't know what to do. Any suggestions would be much appreciated!!! Thanks!

Honestly, I didn't really use it that much. My baby didn't like it as much as I liked it. Lol it's good if you have the space but I would probably just buy a smaller swing. The only reason I bought it because I knew about it back when I was home. I'm from the Philippines and this is how we put our babies to sleep.

Yes, that is what it is designed for. We used this play pen next to our bed for about 4 months. Our daughter slept in the little bassinet looking "napper" for about 2 months and then we used the higher sleeping area for another couple months. The napper was nice because it has a vibrating insert (batteries) that soothed her and also puts her on a slight angle with head higher than feet which helps with reflux issues. Worked great for us!
