UPPAbaby Vista Stroller, Black Jake This instant

2010-01-21T14:22:00.001-08:00

This is definitely not the cheapest stroller, but it's wonderful. After months of research, we settled on this one, and have not regretted it for a single moment.
Advantages:
- Easy fold
- Great for tall and short people
- HUGE basket
- Works with carseat (we have the Chicco Snugride 30)
- Separate bassinet and toddler seat (unlike the Bugaboos)
- Solid wheels (no flats)
- Smooth ride for baby
- Very nice bassinet: our daughter liked it better than any other sleeping surface for the first few weeks.
- Solid construction
Disadvantages:
- It's heavy. We live up a third floor walkup. Not fun.
- It's wide. It still fits through normal doorways, but it does require some maneuvering. On the other hand, this also means it's very stable, and that you don't have to worry when walking through crowds.
- It's pretty big.
Overall, I think for air travel you might want an umbrella stroller, but for everyday use, this one is the BEST!Get more detail about UPPAbaby Vista Stroller, Black Jake.

Kolcraft Cuddle 'n Care Rocking Bassinet with Light Vibes Mobile, Creampuff Immediately

2010-01-20T14:23:00.001-08:00

This bassinet is beautiful.
I have no experience in putting things together, but I tackled this by myself without any problems. I found all the pieces fit perfect and my Grandson loves it. His Mum says he sleeps so much better when he comes to my house and uses that, though that may be a one off.The rocking element is very smooth and does what it should.Though it is only used on occasion I have been very pleased with it.
The neutral color fits in well with my decor too !Get more detail about Kolcraft Cuddle 'n Care Rocking Bassinet with Light Vibes Mobile, Creampuff.

The First Years 5 in 1 Carry Me Near Sleep System Right now

2010-01-14T14:23:00.001-08:00

This is a beautiful bassinet. That seems to be the only good thing I have to say about this item.
Here are my beefs:
It is heavy
Painful to assemble
The placement of the light is poor, it shines right in your eyes
The vibration or music does not stay on (automatic shut off, perhaps I missed this when picking it)
You have to take it apart if you have to wash the cover for the changing table part
The incline sits the baby up, so baby must be supported on each side

Lowest Price Graco Pack N' Play Playard with Twins Bassinet, Kensington

2010-01-13T14:23:00.001-08:00

My husband and I were looking for a "living room" bassinet for our twin babies. After doing extensive research, we bought the Twin Pack n Play. We considered getting a single pack n play, but felt the weight limit (15 lbs for the pack n play in bassinet mode) would preclude us from using it as a portable crib for longer than 1-2 months.

This pack 'n play is considerably bigger than a single. It was fairly easy to assemble, and has 2 "bassinets". Basically it is a single upper mattress, with 2 separate "baby" areas. Each has a canopy cover. The mattress itself is fairly firm. We have not yet washed and used the matching sheets (not included with the purchase).

Overall I feel this is a very good option for families with twins. While we have yet to use it with our baby boys, I am sure that they will take many "naps" here!Get more detail about Graco Pack N' Play Playard with Twins Bassinet, Kensington.

Buy Graco Pack 'n Play Playard with Newborn Napper, Broadstreet

2010-01-06T14:23:00.001-08:00

I ordered this item hoping it would be an all-in-one solution for sleeping and changing for the first few months. I was disappointed that it wasn't, but it still appears to be a high-quality item, and I am keeping it. Here are the pros and cons, as I see them now. I am still pregnant, so I might change my mind on these once I am actually using it!

Pros:
- Playard and bassinet appear to be very sturdy and well-made.
- The entire item is very attractive. The print looks even nicer in person than it does on the picture.
- The playard and mattress fold up and go into the carrying case quite easily.
- The entire unit it easy to assemble, once you know how to.

Cons:
- I was hoping to use the newborn napper as a primary sleeping place for the first month or two for my baby. As soon as I attached the napper, I saw that this was not possible. Babies are supposed to sleep on a firm surface for better spinal development, and the napper is like a hammock, so it will not do. That being said, it is called a NAPPER after all, so it might still be useful for naps.
- The changing table is small, so I don't think it will last for very long. Also, it does only attach on one side, so I can imagine it slanting over a bit with a heavy baby.
- The napper is difficult to detach.
- The fabric on the unit is not machine-washable. If you have a yard and a hose and it's not too cold outside, it would be easy enough to wash, but what if you don't? I'm not sure how I'm going to wash this thing before the baby arrives.

I am keeping this item because I want a sleeping place for the baby that I can move around my apartment during the day, and this fits the bill. I am going to use a regular crib at night. If I could go back in time, I would probably just order the most basic pack-n-play with just the bassinet and no bells and whistles, especially since I don't really care about the electronic doo-dads that come with this thing. But, the hassle of packing, paying for shipping, returning, etc... isn't worth the price difference for me. Maybe I will be pleasantly surprised and find the extras useful once the baby arrives.Get more detail about Graco Pack 'n Play Playard with Newborn Napper, Broadstreet.

Purchase Graco Silhouette Pack 'n Play with Bassinet and Changer - 2009 Townsend

2010-01-05T14:22:00.001-08:00

At first I was irritated that my husband wanted this pack and play when any other would do and we probably wouldn't use it for more than a few months. SO WRONG! We've had it for over a year and we're still using it.

Why this is a must have...
A little background: I had a c-section, my son was delivered early. I gained a ton of weight so after delivering the baby, my body had to readjust (hips, back, everything) since the weight was redistributed.

The bassinet addition made picking my son up easy - I didn't have to bend over (I didn't want to anyways to avoid ripping my stitches, and I was so sore that bending over was very uncomfortable). The changing table is elevated enough that I could change him standing up (I'm 5'3") AND all the basics were within reach. Diaper stack held enough that we only had to refill once a day. The 2 little cubbies were used to hold his mittens, thermometer probe, powder & rash cream (in case we need it) and the part for the wipes were so small that we stored q-tips to clean his umbilical cord.

The vibrating function was AMAZING! It helped put our baby to sleep, the music was soothing. Batteries lasted long enough that it wasn't annoying to have to change it. We used those 2 functions almost ALL the time to get him through his naps and bed time - I think we changed our batteries once a month.

Complaints:
The thing is hard to move. Our doorways are tight and the idea of pushing this from room to room just seemed ridiculous. Beyond doorways, we'd have to navigate it around our household furniture - just not practical. And collapsing it to move it was just cumbersome.

The wipes storage - it held at most like 15-20 wipes - which isn't much when he's going through 12 diapers a day. We had a box of wipes on the changing table since it's pretty roomy.

The diaper holder kept coming off - the sticky on the velcro were useless. We bought industrial strength velcro and held it in place.

The canopy - once it's on, it's hard to reach your baby. It's HUGE! and kinda annoying to get staying up.

Other Info:
It's recommended that you stop using the basinet at 15lbs but depending on your baby's skills - I'd suggest not using that once they can roll over. Not that they could roll off - but you never know.

Strongly recommend getting several sheets - when one is the wash, you don't have to wait for it to put it on - especially if it's right around nap time.

Very easy to clean - a wet towel, done. The mesh part takes a little bit longer.

My son still sleeps in his pack and play. He's a little over a year old and has only slept in his crib once for a nap. (I know they don't recommend this for sleeping), but it's the only place he enjoys, and I feel safe leaving him. The mesh is breathable while in a crib, I'm worried he'll get stuck in between the railings. It's sturdy. It's easy on the eyes.

Definitely worth the $$ we've paid. If we had to get a PNP now (at his age), I'd definitely get a plain one without the bells the whistles. But all those perks are a necessity with a newborn.Get more detail about Graco Silhouette Pack 'n Play with Bassinet and Changer - 2009 Townsend.

Where To Buy Graco Pack 'n Play Playard with Bassinet in Tango in the Tongo

2010-01-03T14:22:00.001-08:00

This has been a lifesaver for me. I didn't want to buy a fancy one and I needed one that could fold down easily...as it would only be used when my granddaughter came to visit. This is so great, it sets up so easily that even I can't complain about it...and when it comes to baby contraptions, I complain about everything. Usually, I end up with at least one smashed finger, or a knot on my head, but this is light weight, you pull the cord to fold it and push the grandma finger safe middle to put it up. The sides lock easily and are grandma proof too. And it all folds up into a nice little package for the next visit. I did get a little frustrated at first because I tried to lock the sides after I pushed the middle piece down, but once I figured out the order of setting it up, I was tickled with how easy it was. Mine gets limited use, so I can't speak to the wear and tear of daily use, but it is a nice purchase for grandma's house and easy on the back.

We have been using this for the last 2 weeks. We are using this until my son becomes old enough to sleep in his own crib in his room. I also carry this up and down my house, it has been sturdy and good so far.

UPPAbaby Vista Stroller, Turquoise Myles

2009-04-11T22:08:00.001-07:00

I spent LOTS of time reading reviews and trying out strollers in stores, in order to find a great stroller. I don't normally post reviews, but spent so much time on this decision (which I'm very happy with), that I thought I should share my experience. My 2009 Uppa just came yesterday; even though I haven't had it very long, I'm already in love! I live in an urban area and wanted a stroller that I could take everywhere--walks to the store, on errands, etc. and hold up on city streets. It was also important to me to have one that has a rear-facing possibility, as recent studies have suggested that this is important for language development.

I'm 7 months pregnant and it was very easy to put together--all of the parts just snapped in, so I didn't have any trouble figuring out whether I was doing it correctly, or tightening screws well enough. The instructions had detailed photos and were very easy to follow.

I knew the storage basket was big, but it's even bigger than I had remembered. Very accessible too. The stroller converts very easily between the bassinet seat (which I think I may use as an actual bassinet when baby is little) and the toddler seat (which can face either direction). A red indicator turns green when you've successfully snapped the seat in, too, for further peace of mind.

At first, I couldn't figure out how to fold the stroller, but once I figured it out, it's very easy. The only trouble is that there's no good place to hold it once it's folded. I don't plan on having to carry it folded very often, as I walk just about everywhere and won't need to take it in and out of my trunk very often.

I also seriously considered the Peg Perego Skate and the Uppa Vista 2008 strollers. In the end, the Skate was just too heavy. Also, I like the convenience of an actual basket, rather than worrying about tying down groceries with a bungee cord. Finally, the bassinet liner to the skate isn't included and the actual seat lining isn't machine washable (unlike the uppa). The 2008 uppa was a close second for me, but I liked the added features of the 09 model (especially the spf popout sun canopy, which is gigantic and wonderful) and the soft organic bedding in the bassinet. I also like having the possibility of adding a rumble seat to the uppa down the road, to get more years out of it.

I think I've finally found the perfect urban stroller!Buy UPPAbaby Vista Stroller, Turquoise Myles!

Graco Pack 'n Play Sheet White

2009-04-11T19:08:00.001-07:00

This is one of the most cheaply made products I have ever seen. As other reviews have mentioned, they are so thin you can see right through them. They are also not well designed. My little ones do not stay perfectly still when they sleep. Unfortunately, pretty much any movement by the kids and the long sides come up over the pad.

I found some fitted sheets that actually stay on at [...]. The mom hand makes them, and she actually went out of her way to find a fabric that I liked. They are soft, stylish, and affordable. A much better option, in my opinion, plus I know I'm helping out another mom instead of some giant corporation!Buy Graco Pack 'n Play Sheet White!

The First Years 5 in 1 Carry Me Near Sleep System

2009-04-10T22:07:00.001-07:00

We bought this item when I was pregnant. After buying it, a few other moms told me that I probably would not use the bassinet for very long and that it was really just a waste of money. Boy were they wrong! This is by far one of the most valuable items we purchased for our daughter. I love the fact that it rocks. There were some nights that this was the only way to get her to sleep. Also love the fact that it sits up. This was extremely convenient when she was between 2-5 months. She hated laying down unless she was already asleep. I could put the seat up then buckle her in and she would sit and play while I got dressed in the morning (something I totally took for granted before she was born! haha) While I think the changing table is a great idea, we never really used it, as it was more of a hassle to pull the bassinet off every change than it was to just use a changing pad. Also nice that it has light and sounds and vibration. My daughter seemed to care less about this, but every baby is different. The bassinet itself is really beautiful when put togehter and looked really lovely in our room. Overall, I would say this is a wonderful bassinet and worth every cent. My daughter (who is currently 6 months) has come to love this bassinet so much that we actually had a hard time transitioning her to her crib!!!Buy The First Years 5 in 1 Carry Me Near Sleep System!

I got this because I am due to have twins in April and thought it would be great for when I was visiting family and such. Now that I have the thing together I will probably never take it apart for travel. It was a pain to assemble the bassinets and while I can see that it collapses and travels well it is just too much work to put it back together. So, for myself, this wont travel until I'm to point of using only the play pen.Buy Graco Pack 'n Play Playard with Twin Bassinet in Scout!

Graco Pack 'n Play Playard with Newborn Napper, Broadstreet

2009-04-08T19:08:00.001-07:00

The "newborn napper" feature is what sold me. I was trying to decide between a pack n play and a bassinet, so when I saw that Graco had combined the two, I knew I found the right product. The "napper" is a great height for having the baby sleep alongside our bed. With practice, I'm able to reach my daughter in the middle of the night without even getting out of bed. The diaper stacker and wipes holder is just the right sized for a stack of diapers and a pack of wipes. I didn't put it together so I can't comment on the assembly. It has the two wheels, so I'm able to move it around pretty easily. Even if the napper feature is only used occasionally, I think this is a pretty useful product for the price. Keep in mind that although the weight limit for the napper isn't that low, its still a bassinet and baby will probably outgrow it quickly.

Hello! I recently purchased the pack n play in Graham for my Son and his new daughter. In the photographs it appears to be a brown frame, with pale neutral covering. When it arrived, (very quickly, in few days) the frame was actually dark blue, with the neutral covers. My son is happy with it, I love it because the changing table is so convenient and the baby can be lulled to sleep with the vibrator. I am very happy with the product, I just would like the color combinations to be mentioned in the decription of the product, because the pictures are sometimes hard to make out. Thanks Amazon!

I had been searching for a smaller pack and play for our 3 month grandaughter to use in our RV. There was no way our full size pack & play would have fit and I was unsure as to where she would sleep, but now my problem is solved! This turns out to be the perfect size! A good bit smaller than the full size but just as sturdy! The wheels are great, the bassinet feature will be useful until she's a little older and the canopy will come in handy for outside use.
