Does the included infant support work well, or should I invest in a better one?

Yes! These are fantastic! I love Peg Perego and have had 3. Adiffwrent color for each child. After all my research these were the best for us due to the stages. 30 lbs and 30 inches.

It worked great for us. Our LO was 8 lb 14 oz and 22 inches long. Not sure if you would need one for a smaller baby

Yes additional support is needed. The first ones were recalled. The ones on the market are improved.do not buy a used one.unless you know it is not the old recalled one.

You should definitely get an extra mattress for this cradle, the pad it comes with is not enough for baby! We used the pad in it plus a 3 inch cradle mattress we purchased separately!

The original unit has lasted well over a year. The additional unit was for the new baby's room. That's the best answer I can give you- hope it helps

I've relied on it since my little boy was about four weeks old. The baby's body temperature, is pretty stable from the beginning, so age shouldn't be an issue.

I would suggest NOT buying the crib. It is not put together very well. And some of the parts on the one we bought were missing. My husband had to do a lot of repairs on it before my grandbaby could even sleep in it. Was not a smart buy. Sorry.

Dear MK, yes, these machines are GREAT for nurseries. I have to small children and we all have these in our rooms. We're also recommended by Isis Parenting, "The Sleep Lady," Dream Team Baby, and several other baby sleep experts. Also, you have a return policy with Amazon, an exchange/upgrade promise plus a one year warranty with Marpac. Please let me know if you need any other help. Kindest Regards, Michelle Landesman, Marpac Customer Care Team Manager (800.999.6962 or customerservice@marpac.com)

I don't think so. I have a long baby too, and this seems to work well for him at 2 months. I think it will still be good for several more months.

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.

It's good support for my 18month old and three year old. If it was a smaller baby I'd say no it isn't the best support. My children have no problem falling asleep in their car seats. Their head doesn't seem to wobble back and forth.

Close call. I would say yes, this one lasts longer than our Baby Einstein by a few days. Invest in good batteries, don't waste your time with cheapies. The lights aren't as bright on this one and it doesn't bother that twin as much during the late night binkie-search. The music is not as loud either, I wish the Baby Einstein wasn't so piercingly loud when it first starts.

I tried it on my 3 month old who is 13 lbs. it's very big and bulky. It does tighten enough so you could use it but there are other, more comfortable options for an infant. It is better for a bigger child.

You should call summer infant directly and switch your monitor to the summer infant baby touch 2. I had the same problem with my boost. I exchanged with the company a few times before giving up on the boost and going with the 2. I think it was a $10 difference and I haven't had any problems with this one and have had it for quite some time.

The deluxe has support pads. I have been using it with my newborn since she was 4 days old without them without a problem, so they aren't really necessary for function. As far as positioning from both a mommy and occupational therapist standpoint, she is swaddled and has sufficient head support from swaddling and the angle of the seat. I'd save the money and use the regular, adding a carseat head support system if you find it necessary later.

Okay obviously the OP's baby isn't a baby anymore, but for future reference, you can do two things if your baby NEEDS Alimentum:Contact your insurance company and see if they'll cover any of itSee if you qualify for WIC (the income limit is relatively high, many times homes with two working parents qualify)

I would not put a 4 month old on this size. I would get the infant one first. I have a nap nanny that my grandson finally outgrew. And got this as a replacement. They are definitely worth the price.

My experience with tub is great. Wished i had it already with my older one. It's space saving and you can use it until toddler age + later on for laundry or whatever. Infant did slide, so i placed a large washcloth in tub to give the baby a soft layer to be on and it fixed the sliding problem :)
