How long can the napper be used for a baby comfortably? Does the vibrations work well?

Our son is 6 weeks old and we still use the napper. I expect it to be in use until approx 12 weeks as he is growing quickly. It probably varies with each baby, I tend to have bigger babies! Even if we only get up to 12 weeks use we will be happy. Both napper and changer have been really useful, it's been one of the best purchases we've made and of course the pack n play will get a lot of use. The music and vibrate features are great if your baby likes that sort of thing, ours doesn't much care for it!

Yes, you just have to place a good comforter so the baby is more comfortable. My baby started using it at 2 mo and right now he is 15 mo and he sleeps on it right on our side.

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.

My daughter is 9 months now and she'll snuggle up on it occasionally but I will only let her use it on the floor. She can easily get in and out of it. We let her take naps on it on our bed when she was younger and wasn't able to move around much. She found it amazingly comfy and took really long naps on it :) now it works well for reading books to her. As far as safety, I have no concerns.

No vibration but this is a great product. It easy to take place and my baby loves napping in it.

It works comfortably for my daughter. It may not be the best choice if your child is one to sit on the potty for long periods of time before actually going, but then again I don't think many potty seats would be comfortable for that long. We haven't had any problems with it for lack of comfort. It's handy to have. We don't use it in the house but keep it in our vehicle for use on the go. It has saved us a few times when we were on the road and wouldn't have been able to get to a restroom in time.

I think it would be okay. I would use it lightly and maybe try it when your baby is sleeping or really mellow to avoid an accident.

We are still using the sleep suit (started around 3 months) at 7 months and have used it throughout some teething. I think it does become a comfort item so it might help with just feeling as comfortable as possible during that time.

I own this peapod and we love it. The mattress is thin, that's true, you could fold a blanket beneath it for extra cushioning but young children seem to be less picky about comfy soft mattresses than adults. :) our daughter was about 18 months when she started napping and sleeping in it at night on our boat. She always did great. 3 weeks seems a bit long but this is so handy and travel-friendly I love it. I will say that the mattress is a vinyl type material and our daughter sometimes would get sweaty. A bassinet-sized sheet might work and be a good addition.

We have used it almost everyday for 5 months and counting. We have replaced the batteries on the seat for vibration twice. You can remove the baby / newborn insert and my guess is we will use it for at least 2-3 more months (7-8 total) or until she tries to climb out of it.

My child is only 1 month so not really sure, but I imagine the child can use it for it's naptime function as is until he is ready to crawl and trying to break lose out of it himself.. then he can use it as a cushion type chair to sit/lean over...

When I bought this pillow, my baby was more than 6 months already. From the description, you will see "Ideal for toddler or baby over 6 months old". But I think its anyway a good pillow. nice and comfortable.

I would give it a try. My son is a little over 8 months. People tend to think he is younger because he is on the smaller side. He is a very active sleeper so it doesnt work well at night anymore, he usually ends up beside it etc.. But, we still use it for diaper changes, hc, swing etc so he's not flat on his head.the part where his head would rest is about 7 inches across in the middle if that helps. If it doesn't work u could save for another baby or loan/give away but I would try it. We will use it as long as possible, I'm sure he appriciates the extra cushion:)

I don't use it for long walks. I feel the older, and heavier my kids get the harder the stroller is to push and turn. And I don't think my kids would be comfortable in it for a nap. I use my mountain buggie duo for long walks and this for the mall or travel. I love it as my double umbrella stroller.

Yes, that is what it is designed for. We used this play pen next to our bed for about 4 months. Our daughter slept in the little bassinet looking "napper" for about 2 months and then we used the higher sleeping area for another couple months. The napper was nice because it has a vibrating insert (batteries) that soothed her and also puts her on a slight angle with head higher than feet which helps with reflux issues. Worked great for us!

Been using for 3.5 months. My son was born 3 months early and was very small... So about 3 weeks after he was born we started using in the NICU instead of a plastic bin and the hammock worked wonders. Haven't needed to use the vibration mode actually. He loves the bath just normal and in the hammock. Might need to roll up a towel and place it under the baby's neck and around their sides to keep their airway open and from skwirming around too much. Highly recommend.

I put my granddaughter in it who is 25 inches long, 4 months old and 13 pounds. She slumps to one side. I would think it works better for a 6 month old who has more neck control. It does not lie flat so baby will always be upright or semi-upright. After using it for two weeks, she has already gained more control and a rolled blanket is keeping her more upright. She has no trouble falling asleep in it.
