I think you are asking about the napper that is on top. It is for infants up to 15 pounds. Then you transition to the mattress set at a higher level. When they start rolling and pushng up on all fours, you drop down to the lower mattress position.

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)

I bought a "Dream On Me 3" Foam Playard Mattress" and it fits just fine. It measures 39" x 27" and the bottom of the playard itself measures about 41" x 27.5". There is a little wiggle room between the sides and the foam mattress, but it is very slight. I kept the included mattress platform on the bottom and put the foam mattress on top layered with a cushiony mattress pad cover (like American Baby Organic Cotton Quilted one). The foam mattress is not as soft as I would have liked, so the quilted mattress pad really helps. Combined, they make a perfect sleeping area. Top that with a soft flannel fitted sheet and I want to crawl in there! I bought a "Dream On Me 3" Foam Playard Mattress" and it fits just fine.

I can measure tomorrow (it's at my parents' house), but I can tell you now that it fits perfectly in my Safety First play yard, and my 9 month old has loved it since we got it 3 months ago. It is much more comfy than any other pack n play mattress we've had in the past. I will get the exact measurements for you tomorrow.

I've done it before, but be warned the baby can flip over the side if too tall..which is a scary sight to see - take my word on it. So far, both my older children have not slept well in the playpen, the flooring is hard and using blankets/extra padding is dangerous. All of mine were too tall to use the playpen by 18 months. Sorry to sound negative, these playpens are great but we have found them to be insufficient as sleep areas for baby or young toddlers and best used for play. I'd suggest a crib mattress on the floor in a babygated and babyproofed room, or one of those bean pod portable beds.

My toddler (almost 2) fits great. She loves how high she sits. My sis in law has the Bob. I feel the Bob is bigger and bulkier than the graco. The Bob in my opinion has a little more storage. The graco comes up pretty high. I'm 5'3 and it comes up to my chest. I also love the fact that the gracos back wheels click right off for smaller storage. Don't know if the Bob does that. I will say that the Bob has more room for your child. My sis puts her infant in the seat and her toddler who is 3 has enough room to sit on the little foot rest area.

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.

I have had a fantastic experience with our co-sleeper. The only real difference between this and a pack n play is that it's almost the same level of your mattress, and attached, so lifting baby in and out in the middle of the night was so easy. It was a lot easier keeping my boy asleep when I didn't have to sit up and lift him over the edge of a pack n play. It's not essential, either one would work, but I found it very helpful for us. Granted, he still ends up snuggled between us half the time - but it's nice to have a spot to stick him when I want a little room to stretch. My boy's almost a year old, and on the larger end of the scale, and he's still using ours. It's snug though! I have had a fantastic experience with our co-sleeper.

I went with the thicker mattress for my TT. The down side of that is it makes getting into bed a little difficult due to the increased highth from the floor. TTs have a storage area under the bed. Great sleep!

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.

Sorry to be first getting back to you now. I recently had a baby (hence the double stroller) and am first really emerging from the fog.My 2 and half year old is about 34-35 lbs and he loves the stroller. I know what other people have said about it being too small but my son loves it. He thinks it looks like a spaceship "pod" and likes for us to "blast-off!" together.My only complaint with the stoller so far is that it hard to hear my older son who sits in the front as we are strolling. He feels "far away". It is also difficult to get in and out of elevators and certain doors. We live in the city so this might be a problem specific to urbanites like myself.Hope this is helpful, if not too late! Sorry to be first getting back to you now.

I have twins. I strongly recommend the Graco Snugride 30 Infant Carrier until they are at least six months. You will not want to wake sleeping babies when you get home! And the infant support on the Combi pushes small babies heads forward, which is not good for NICU babies. I speak from experience...I have twins, one was in NICU, and used to foster newborns. I have never had a baby under ten pounds that fit well in this. Three across would be hard to buckle, unless you can reach through the trunk or over the top from the front seat. The buckle pieces have to be overlapped to snap in together at the crotch. That being said, we love this seat for small spaces! My first born used this seat in our sports car for several years. Very light weight and convenient. Can be a pain to install rear facing, if you don't have a tether point. If you buy these, you will want to go to a car seat installation station (check with your hospital). Also, I'll warn you that your babies will likely outgrow these seats by height before they are old enough to use a booster. I ended up buying Britax Boulevards for mine. They have higher quality fabric that is way easier to wipe to clean (you do not want to have to remove the covers when they poop through their clothes or spit up). They also work fine for tiny babies, if you absolutely don't want to purchase infant carriers. Three across all rear facing, all forward facing, and any combination of rear/forward works fine with Britax in our GMC Terrain. Combis are slightly narrower and take up less front to back space, so if you're driving a tiny car, these are for you! If you have a retailer near you, most baby stores will let you take them to the car to try them out. I got a great deal on my Graco carriers at Kohls w/cashback and 30% off. Amazon does occasionally have great deals in the open box section, too. (My other must purchase items for multiples are an Ergobaby Backpack and Podee Feeding System) Congratulations! It will get easier around six months!

Mmmmm I don't know. Maybe when they are brand new for a very short time. I think the regular size co-sleeper would probably be a better idea - this one is about half as wide as that one (think half the size of a pack-n-play).

I think it's a good idea to buy a playard mattress for ANY playard if you intend to use it for naps, sleeping. Those planks in playard mattresses can still be felt, even though they are padded. The same is true with this model. I bought a Dream On Me 3" Foam playard mattress and it fits perfectly.

43.5" long x 23" wide are the interior dimensions between the bumpers. There is plenty of sleeping space for a toddler and would fit yours fine. My 4 year old can still fit in it just fine but we have passed it on to my son who is 36" tall and he has more than enough room. I have had this product for a couple of years now and would still give it 5 stars. I think it's better than other toddler sleep solutions I've found. I've looked at the sleep pods, the Shrunks blow up bed, and other options. The BumpZZZ is very cozy with the bumpers and has plenty of padding to be comfortable sleeping on the floor and it's easily transportable with no fuss..no need to blow up, etc. We just fold ours in half and secure the Velcro tabs and that is it! When the kids are done with this, it will probably go to the dog. Love it.

I have a pillow top bed too, its about a 3" inch difference. However the bed is a little deep. So you will need to bend down to get baby. My son will be 4 months, I love this sleeper! I used it since day 1! He loves sleeping in it for naps & sleeps in it overnight. It is worth the $30!
