Can I use this alone for the baby to sleep or still I would need a crib?

You will still need a crib. After a certain weight and if the infant rolls over, you can no longer use this. Newborns love it!

My daughter in-law has used this for approx a year. Eventually you'll need a crib when the child is older.

My grandsons used this until they could roll over. It cradles the baby. My daughter used a crib but used this next to her bed when she was nursing. It is just for a short period of time but oh so useful! It is light weight so you can move it to different rooms. I would say until the baby is between 6-9 months old depending on their ability to roll over. A crib (especially if it is convertible to a toddler bed) would of course be used longer. My daughter felt this rocker was indispensable.

I'm using it for my baby to sleep in all the time, day and night. She really likes it.The vibrations helps her to fall asleep. I think it is safe for the babies to sleep in, but it is my subjective opinion.

You can't use just the Safe T Sleep alone for this. You need to add a swaddle blanket for that. We used Swaddle Me blanket and then added the Safe T Sleep when he started rolling over.

No, it's just the mattress alone. Best idea would be to use a large piece of plywood or an ikea bed frame + slats.

no you have to purchase the mattresses separately. i love the stokke crib. i hardly used the small one (infant) and really only used the larger size so i don't think the sleepi system is necessary. that said, i loved the way the infant one looked in the room and it made me happy to just look at it even though i hardly used it.

I know you are not supposed to, but I always used the toddler side because my baby slept better on the softer side. Technically, you are supposed to wait until they are a year old, but you really just have to do what works best for your family.

Honestly, I wouldn't use it in the crib. I can see a baby turning and getting tangled in the strap. There are "infant sleep positioners" that would be better and safer. This is definitely better for sitting up in a carseat.

it Is smaller than a regular size crib. I thought about getting bumper pads too however some reports suggest that lack of air flow can cause sudden infant death syndrome, so no pads are being used.

I'd say it would be difficult with a crib. It's better with a toddler's or twin size bed.

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.

I've known a lot of people who have used Pack N Plays as cribs. They are meant to be a place for baby to sleep. Keep in mind though, that there are no government regulations for play yards (or bassinets), so they may not follow the same safety guidelines as cribs.

I didn't use one but don't think you'd be able to connect. I also couldn't put anything on end rails to keep her from chewing on the crib because it's solid and nothing can attach.

Think of it this way--the mat the baby sleeps on rests on the floor. It's a great travel crib. It's big, it is easy to tote around, the sleeping mat is dense and high quality, and the baby can't hurt him/herself. The mat is low but if it is going to be set up and folded up a lot, it's worth it.

Unfortunately, each baby is different and what works for one might not be good for another. My baby likes the bouncer and hated the swing (I bought both). Some parents have newborns sleep in them, so if your baby enjoys sleeping outside of the crib, you might not need sleeper.In any case, of the 3, a bouncer is a must. It's light and easy to carry around so I can have my baby entertained while I am doing house errands.

For a young infant that is not yet very mobile you can use just one pad. After the baby starts moving you would want to put the second one to increase coverage otherwise you'll get false alarms when the baby moves off the area covered by the pad. The two pads fit easily under a normal crib mattress. The base of the crib has to be solid (wood and not springs. I placed a thin wood base on top of springs - works great).

If she puts it in the crib just make sure to take the string off. But if the babies are going to sleep close to each other then I only see one shusher being needed. :-)

No. You need to purchase a "mini crib" or "portable crib" mattress. A standard crib mattress is much larger.

It stands alone, so it could be used that way. You would have to be creative to attach it to the netting of the crib.
