Would this work for a small newborn (about 5 lbs)? My sister and brother-in-law just had twins and are desperate for some sleep! Thanks!

I might go with the Halo sleep sack swaddler ( not the sleeveless one but the one that keeps their arms secured) because it had different sizes including newborn.

It would be big for a newborn. I was not a fan of the miracle blanket. I recommend the woombie all the way!

It should work, but I also had success when my babies were tiny to use the swaddlers with the velcro, for the xsmall size.

I don't see why not unless the package says differently. It's very adjustable!

It definitely would - you can fold up the bottom or fold down the top if the babies are too small. My friend used it with her 6 lb preemie and it worked great.

i put my newborn in it...at 3 or 4 weeks, she was fine in it. No reason why a newborn couldnt be in it. It doesnt have to be completely flat to have a newborn . (just make sure that they are on they're back and have the newborn head supports , and are all cozy, confined and swaddled. Its all good )

Yes! I used it for my newborn until he outgrew the mini sleeper. I had much better peace of mind using this organic mattress rather than the one the co sleeper comes with!

I doubt this would be comfortable for twins. I would not have wanted to put a 6 month old in the rumble seat. It has very little support and no ability to recline. It is not ideal for babies/toddlers who like to nap in the stroller. We purchased a city mini gt double and are happy with it.

Only if they are really skinny people. I bought the full size and it sleeps two, my wife and our 3 year old granddaughter. It would be a real squeeze, in my opinion. Hope that helps.

Twins would be ok when they are small I suppose. It is not very huge, but it sleeps one quite well. My boy is two and still uses when we go on trips, or at his grandparents house. If your kids are good cuddlers they should be just fine. Plus the setup on this thing is so easy you won't want to even look at another pack and play again.

I think it's too bulky for a 17 lbs baby, I stopped using ours by 15 lbs when it started looking uncomfortable. Now I just use one of those cute u form pillows to hold babys head when falls asleep in the car, it has soft toys giraffes on the side she can play with while awake, and it's roomy so her head still has room to move.

My guy is about 14lbs., 24 inches and he fits fine in the small (12-18lbs). He too is lean and long. His hands and feet are just starting to stick out. It's not as snug as a swaddle but has room for it when he gets bigger. For now, he's content with the size and has slept better since (about 5-6 hour stretches). I got both to compare side by side and returned one that didn't fit.

mine is super quiet and my daughter is 26.5 lbs, I don't know if I just lucked out, but you can hardly hear it's on at all. She's been using it from birth for her naps and when she was newborn she'd like to sleep nights in it too. (gotten a lot of use)

You should be able to use this for a new born. I didn't use it until my baby was 2 months old but he was a preemie and born at 4lbs. He was too small. I used it when he was about 6 or 7 pounds and it worked great.

My daughter is 53 pounds. This is perfect for her. Anything more than 70, I don't think it would work well. Some older and larger kids have tried it but it was too small and didn't give them the same spring as for a smaller kid.

That's what my husband and I have used this for all along. The mattress is the right kind for a newborn - you don't want something too cushy. I do have to agree with a previous commenter who said that you would need a lot of space next to your bed - you do need a fair amount. But so easy to set up!

It comes with inserts for a newborn and says on the manufacturer info. that it is for a newborn to up to a toddler. The lbs is listed on it, says 5-70lbs. The straps are a little on the heavy side (there is rubber on them) but it states that it can indeed be used for a newborn.... I used a lock in type at first and then bought this once my daughter hit 20 lbs...but it was more pricey to do that. It comes down to what is most affordable for you and what your preferences are. Maybe reach out to the manufacturer if you want more clarity. Hope this helps:)

For newborn maybe in the early weeks but I wouldn't recommend it once they start moving around on their own....the bassinet is not very deep so they could roll out and it is made to be tilted. I used a sleeper for my bed and never really used this part but if you don't want the baby sleeping with you I would rather let it sleep in the crib than in the bassinet

I would not recommend it for a newborn. I feel it is way too soft for that. The company does not recommend using it w the graco...we did use it with the graco but not till my daughter was around 8 months. There is a one inch gap between the mattress and the sides of the PNP. If you decide to order you can see how soft it is and decide (it's not technically soft but the casing is not tight enough around the core so it creates some billowing). The company has great customer service and we have many other products from them.

No, if your infant is going to get larger than 10 pounds ...lol....the sleeper will be too small

We have two of these, and my oldest daughter still (barely) fits in hers, at 30 pounds. She's 2yrs, 3mths old. It also works well on my 6 mth old at about 15 pounds.
