What's the difference between this crib and the lightweight one? Other than the more expensive one has no mattress and cheaper one comes w/ thin canr

Telly, I agree, The one we bought only has two positions all the way up for newborns and all the way down for toddlers. We had a terrible time putting this thing up as the instructions confusing. However we like the crib very much and have gotten good use for it. P/S We fold it up and slide it under our bed till we need it.

I love this crib, I'm the grama so don't use it on a daily basis but it suits my needs just fine. The thin mattress is ok cuz they say not to use one that is more than 3" and I can't find one of those.

The more expensive one has two positions--one up high for a newborn and then can be lowered when the child is older and pulling him/herself up on the railing. Although the picture for the lightweight shows two positions, I don't think they are the same. Also, the mattress pad is too thin--you really need to purchase the 3" pad. Hope this helps. We have been very happy with this purchase for our grandchild.

The mini crib does not have the same support system of metal springs like its full sized sibling. The mattress will sit on a plywood board. My daughter is big for her age and very rambunctious and often will jump herself to sleep for naps. The mini crib works well even though I was hesitant on the wood base. We use it over at my mom's house so its not her primary bed. Works well without complaints or issues 2 years now.

The crib is easy to fold up, but only the crib sides fold in for storage (i.e. it gets thinner not shorter). In other words, the length of the crib stays the same, the legs do not fold. It is nothing like a pack in play that folds into a small rectangle. That being said, if you had a really big SUV this could potentially fit in the back (you may have to fold down the seats). The mattress that comes with this crib is very thin and comparable to a pack and play mattress. However, I purchased a thicker pad/mattress and my daughter seemed to like it fine. I would think that purchasing a thicker pad that would fit into your pack and play may be the best idea if you are looking to travel a lot. Hope this helps!

Your baby is heavier than mine, but it is a firm mattress and our son does not sink in it. If your baby is sinking and the mattress is the issue (assuming you've ruled out the crib based on your question), I would stop using the mattress immediately for safety. That is not normal, and you should be able to return the mattress.

The box spring one is thinner. The mattress or is much better material and has a towel like material top which makes it comfortable in all seasons. You don't need something as nice for the box spring.

None comes with it, and I'm not using one. You do have to by both mattresses separate.. So far, my kids have not complained about anything concerning this bed, except who will sleep on top or bottom... :-)

I would recommend using a dust ruffle because you can see in between the mattress and drawer. It's not like a traditional crib where the dust ruffle will hang on the floor but it still looks nice.. and once mattress is perfect! It's not too high and not too low, it's right where an infant mattress should be but you could always try it yourself depending on what you like. I absolutely love this crib and I don't think you'd regret ordering it

This portable crib does not come with a bassinet attachment. What you see in the picture is what you get. I wouldn't recommend this for daily use as a crib as the mattress and support underneath the mattress is very flimsy. It is also a bit smaller than standard pack and plays so the Dream on Me 3" padded mattresses don't fit in here. We use this when grandkids come for a visit (from ages 16 months to 2 years old)- when their stay is relatively short. This is compact though for storage if you don't have a lot of room. To return to your original question, there are many more options for portable cribs that actually have bassinet attachments that might work better.

The included mattress is only about 1 inch thick...you'll probably want to upgrade it. When we placed the order, there was a suggested upgrade on the mattress, which we purchased. My grandson was only 4 months at the time and not very mobile. For the next visit in Feb. 2014, I'm planning to buy a "better" mattress for the bed. The crib itself is very sturdy but not very big (by US standards) but is the same size that they use for him in Spain. Hope this information helps!

It's narrower on top. Easier set up and fold down. Mattress is better than most pnp. I had to get this as my one year old exceeds other weight limits.

It is low, but not a problem. The mattress is a decent size. We like it. Its quite sturdy as well. Changing diapers while inside the crib can be a back strainer though.. so if you have a changing pad/station, then this shouldn't be an issue.

Don't know difference, but I love the one I got. I have used it as my son's crib for months.

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.

No. I think most cribs come without a mattress, actually. And luckily, crib mattresses aren't very expensive.

It does not come with a mattress, I purchased a 3 inch mattress separately, but you could buy a thicker mattress.

P.S. The product description says "crib mattress is not included". Product descriptions really are a great help if you will scroll down and read all the info. They have helped me many times to decide on which one, out of several of the same type products, to buy and I always go for the 4 star and above ratings.
