How does this item compare to Fisher Price Deluxe Newborn Vibrating Rock n’ Play Sleeper, which is listed as the "newer" model and is less expensive?

My daughter loved this until she was about 6 months old - she slept through the entire night. This model does not vibrate (only rocks manually)and I wish it did. It would have made things even a little easier. Hope this helps...

Can't say as I only ever had the one. I imagine the newer vibrating version just has that added feature to enchance it and whether or not that is useful depends on the baby - I had a vibrating bassinet and a vibrating bouncer but my infant didn't like either one - loved the angle of the rock n' play and didn't matter to him that it didn't vibrate. Aside from the portability and upright angle what I liked most about the snuggabunny version was the plush fabric - very snuggly.

I had both with my first child, and decided to get rid of the cosleeper the second time around. I liked the look better, but it was MUCH LESS useful. My first child used the pack n play until he was 2 years old when he moved onto a floor futon. This time around I'm also going to use the Phil and Teds travel bed. It only weighs 6 lbs (vs. 30) and it has a zipper on one side so the child can get in out of bed unassisted.

I have not seen the Shrunks toddler bed so I can't compare the two. This one worked great for our 2 yr. old grandson. However, after buying it from Amazon we found it at Walmart for much less.

This is a guess Terry, as you haven't provided much to go on, but you may find that one had harder, denser projections than the other. I'm sorry, but without access to the exact info in the web page you are viewing, I can't tell you which is which, though my guess would be that the cheaper one is the softer one. I hope that helps, such as it is. Unless you are an experienced rumble roller user, personally I would opt for the soft option.

My sister-in-law owns the DOHM, and used it while visiting us. We'd been using a fan in the baby's room, but wanted something safer once she was in a bed. The sound seems very similar, if not the same (haven't done an actual side by side comparison) and has been great. I will say we got two, and one did have a bit of a smell for the first day or two, but no issues other than that. I'm really happy we saved the money and went with the knockoff!

a great play gym -- 4 month old has been using it at various levels for a month now (at this point, grabbing toys and rolling over). Soft and cute, attention keeping for baby. I bought this for my daughter as a gift (baby's mother). For Grandma's house I have the Fisher Price with lights and music (baby likes nature sounds). Both are great -- one "no-tech", the other mildly stimulating with sounds and soft lights. Really just depends on what you like... I thought the Skip Hop was little pricey, but baby does love it and it is well-made (toys on this are super-cute, and soft. Mostly hard plastic on the Fisher Price one). Hope this helps!

Yes it vibrates. It's in a reclining position and my daughter lets her baby sleep in it. He just loves the toys too. I paid twice as much for one for my granddaughter @ toys-r-us which isn't nearly as entertaining for baby. I highly recommend the fisher price one! Good luck!

I got it today(31.00), and it is from Fisher Price. I was expecting it to be from Mattel as stated on this web-site.

You know I'm not really sure. From what I can tell the one for $82.95 is furry where the one for a few dollars less is plastic. All I can tell you is that the one we got our grandaughter, she really likes the sound and the ease of sitting with the safety seat (she is just starting to walk). She spends a great amount of time on this. We have it set up for the rocking now but it is easy to change to a spring horse. Sorry I cound not be of mor help. Rick

I never actually used the fisher price bouncer because it was so wobbly I would not put my baby in it. The Einstein jumper is very stable

I've not gotten either yet, but in my research, these are the differences:Neither is designed for the playard position to be used as a primary sleeping area, but people have used both playards as a crib until the child was 18 months.

This is nothing like a rock and play. This seat has just a little voice when baby moves. It maybe ok for a short nap but isn't designed to be slept in for long periods of time like a rock n play.

They are the same, but the RXT comes with more support pillows. If your child is young/small, you might be better off with the pricier version.

It is similar, but because it is thin it is softer in my opinion. You may want to look into the toddler one if you are looking for something a little more dense. I have both. I will submit a picture of the two in the reviews so you can see the difference.
