Is it worth getting this vs the pack n play for the extra couple inches? My 2 year old is getting too big for the pnp.

Not for this reason. It actually seems narrower than pnp. But the mattress is better/softer/more comfortable, and its 10 times easier to set up/fold than pnp.

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.

My daughter-in-law uses the Baby Bjorn crib and says it's superior to the Pack n Play. It travels well and is very sturdy.

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 depends for what do u need it if you are traveling a lot with baby that really great item its light take not a lot of room you can wash that easily but if its only standing in the room than I dont know I love it and I would never go back to regular type but like I said its your choice

I should add, I took it on a trip recently with 5 friends and their babies. We swapped it out between different pack n plays and it fit nicely in all of them. Most were Graco, but mine is Safety First. It fit them all nicely.

It's honestly personal preference. I started on the regular ripstick when I was around the same age. And I'm fairly short. Now as an "adult" I enjoy the smaller one because it requires less effort to make it move. It's really a personal preference. If you can take him to Walmart and find the ripstiks out of the package and let him try them out to see which one he likes. I would suggest the mini one if he's a little fella. If the smaller one was an option when I was I kid k would've gotten one.

We have this crib and the pack and play. This crib is easier to fold because you just lift the base and the two (longest) sides come together. I don't think it's easier to put away though because it is much larger and heavier than a pack and play. It's definitely not easier to take on trips, which is why we ended buying a pack and play. Just a note, you can buy a 2" mattress that fits into both this crib and/or a pack and play.

I have both the toddler and the infant size and my little boy is 10 months old. It just depends on the baby, he does good with both, although the smaller one seems to be more comfortable for him. The toddler one is a little bit thicker and longer so he doesn't roll off of it as easy. I would go with the thicker one because baby can always grow into it. This age can go either way. Hope this helps!

Hello hope all is well. I bought this for my then 15 month old boy. Now is 24 month old and still fit nicely. Only one thing with the front tray is to not use lot of clothing that can squish the legs. If is a big boy I suggest to not put the tray but to snack. Its not heavy and to fold it needs practice but in general it worth the price. Two position for child to sleep and canopy that doesnt bother him at all.

I always felt it was on the smaller side so we had the extra panels from the start. I also have to add that my daughter never sat still long enough to even take a photo so she needed all the space we could give her. If you have a calm infant, he may be okay in the playpen itself for now. thou once he starts walking you still want him to have the extra space to stretch his little legs and run :)

I have the Bob Revolution and it works fine. We have both, the infant and toddler sizes. The toddler one we used for my daughter from 9months to 16 months. My other daughter is 7 months and 18 pounds and the infant one fits her fine. Its more of the legnth you need to worry about, thats what my daughter out grew first. I might go with the toddler size since your probably only going to use the infant one for a few months more and then need the next bigger size.

I have not used those other packs, but I can say I love the Onya. I wear my 3.5 year old daughter at Disney Land in this one and it is great. I am able to fit snacks in the zipper compartments, travel size sun screen, chap stick, and hand sanitizer. I have hiked with it as well and it was lovely.

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.

We have used it on the pack and play before. The back actually has a fabric strip that loops to the hook so while it doesn't sit on the edge as nicely as it does the crib, it hangs just fine when you loop it through where the fabric breaks in the corner of the PnP.

I have the rounded corners and it fits good, the corners of the pack n play are rounded. It fits snug enough but because of the give of the pack n play sides it isn't a super snug fit. It definitely is snug enough so that it is safe.

Hi Erik. It's pretty small so if your kid is not into running around within it, then it's fine (ie just sitting playing w a toy etc) and it's plenty tall such that they can't get out of it. Much lighter and easier to assemble than a pack n play. You need to get a sheet for it too, remember .

Put on top. It's great. I recommend their sheet, too. It becomes thick and comfortable for my son to sleep in, unlike the pack-n-play bottom alone, but it's thicker than standard pnp sheets.

Definitely go with the larger version. We have two and it will last for a while.

i have the original and i think is better because of the size, my baby is a big boy and it was very comfortable at the time to breastfeed and sleep him, now he has almost 2 years and he keep using it like a playpen
