Hi! Would this be safe as a temporary crib for an infant for a few months? Looks like the ideal one for infant to tall-toddler transition! Thnx!

It is so colorful and cheery I don't know if it would be conducive to fall asleep in. Plus you would want a thicker mattress pad and I don't know if that size is available. It is a great playpen and somewhere to put the baby when you can't constantly watch it. My grandchild sleeps in a regular size pack and play and I read reviews to find out which mattress pad works in it and also bought the sheets for it. I would think in any pack and play you would want to add a mattress on top of the padding they give you if you plan to sleep the baby in it.

No complaints from my great-granddaughter who received it from me as a gift, or her Mom, my granddaughter. Unfortunately they live across the country from me and I don't have first-hand knowledge. But, having raised four of my own and used earlier models, I think your child would do well therein.

Yes you could probably use it safely for a temporary crib for an infant. It is low to the floor and other than the fact that you will have to bend over to get the little one in and out, he/she will sleep just fine and certainly won't be tall enough for awhile to get out.

Probably ok for short term use as a bed although the pad on the bottom of the Pack and Play is not very thick. Also, you would have to lean over a good distance each time you put the infant down.

Yes pack and play will work as a temporary crib. I would probably get a pad and square sheet to put on the mat as the mat that is in it is not real comfy for all night sleeping.

I would be, the only concern is that the bottom mat is only about a 1/2 inch thick. Not much of a cushion.

We have used it for naps, but not long periods of time. The pad is not anything like a mattress. I don't think it's meant to be a bed.

I would ask the manufacturer to see what they would say. Sorry I couldn't help.

It is absolutely safe for baby's weight. Just make sure you install the upper part correctly. I'm assuming that it should be safe for baby until they can pull themselves up, in that case you would then lower it to the bottom part so the baby can't pull themselves out and over. But I've seen this one used at least until 22 pounds. There may be a weight limit in the paperwork.

We have a "mini crib" and we have used it for a little over a year now. We have not had any issues. It's very good quality.

I think so. I am 5'4" and I find it very easy to pick up and lay down my son. It's not a very high crib (legs are shorter than other models we looked at) which is nice. Definitely makes it more contemporary and added benefit is the ease of reaching in without feeling like you'll drop the baby in, or fall in yourself!. hope this helps!

Bought this wagon for my Daughter and her then 1 yr old. He is now 16 months. I asked my daughter and she said that she thinks the seats are too high for it to be safe for the 10 month old, even buckled in. She would put the 10 month old down in the middle which goes down deep, and maybe surround him with a blanket.

Hi, my son only used this for maybe 2 1/2 weeks. I'm not sure how long you plan on using it for, but please keep in mind that it didn't feel very sturdy. With my son now at 8 weeks, I know for sure that he would be too big. I ended up giving it away when my two year tipped it over..thank goodness I was able to catch it.

No. That has proven to be unsafe and newer cribs are no longer using that design. I have 5 kiddos and I purchased this crib for baby #5. The front side is lower than an older style crib's front panel when it is up, if that makes sense. I have used this from newborn through toddler stages and it is super. You won't be disappointed! It's a bargain for the price...it is beautiful.

Our 5 month old is no longer comfortable in this sleeper. She's too active and slides down with her feet dangling and her neck in an uncomfortable position. I think you can use it for travel purposes if it's a short trip. I wouldn't use it for too long though. I think it's light enough to take with you.

We plan on flipping it when we convert to a toddler bed... perhaps around 15 months. I imagine it's mostly just important to have the infant side the 1st year--when SIDS is a higher risk. There isn't a dramatic difference between the two sides.

So far I put there my 25lb nephew to play and it still was ok. The limit for this cradle is active baby. I transformed my son into his crib at 4.5months, when he start to move around a lot. Then it's not so safe to keep babies there by themselves.

I'd say probably not. My 15 month old is 33 inches and 24lbs now and I think we may only have a another month or so before we have to transition to just using the actual bath tub. She is fine sitting in it but I can't lay her back properly to wash her hair. She's all scrunched up. We've been using this since about 7 months so it's given us a good run. Really an excellent tub that I will definitely be using for baby #2 until it's outgrown again.

Hi Ilana, we are definitely always concerned by this but that will be the case for essentially any travel crib. We just make sure that we set it up far from any drafts (heating vents, doors, windows, etc) and he does fine. If your baby is sleeping its a bit hard to get them in and out of the crib - you have to be pretty flexible! because it's so low down. But he sleeps through the night in the crib when we travel. It's really well made and easy to pack and travel with. We like it very much.

Yes, I think this would work well if she is active (as many pediatricians recommend they don't have anything in their crib until they are pretty mobile). If you bought the baby one I think she may outgrow it quite quickly. Our daughter is VERY active at night and always struggled to get comfortable...she is much more content now. This was a good purchase. If you find that your daughter is just a little small for it - she will probably be ready for this one pretty soon! Hope this helps.

We purchased this for our son when he turned two. He has been using it for four months and loves it. It is great because you don't have to worry about them falling out of bed because the sides sit high. Fits a standard crib mattress. We ended buying a more expensive crib mattress because a standard crib mattress has too many coils. We got a memory foam one, and it it is great. Therefore, the bed is great. If you are worried about the mattress, I would suggest upgrading it before you buy the bed.

Probably not for very long. The information on the crib states it should only be used for babies up to 32.5 lbs. The crib can be lowered to make it into a playpen which would accommodate a child 33" tall if they would stand up, but not if the height was adjusted on the crib for the bed size. The dimension on the crib is 40.3" x 28".

Kasha, I'm sorry for my delayed replied had been out of town for a while....to answer your question the answer is absolutely yes, this will make a perfect side bed for the first 3 months. once the baby begins to roll over his/her back it is not as it may roll and fall out of it. This item comes along with a bassinet that goes on top which is what is just perfect as a side bed so you wont have to lean down in order to check on your baby at night as you are in your bed, just turn around and simply look at your baby almost at your same bed level (depending on what bed and mattress you have), hope this works for you! Regards, Grace.

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.
