Pack and Play Standards

[Willow]

Willow can you please measure the depth of your playpen from the lowest point of the top rail downward to the higest point of the mattress? Im interested in the inside depth. I've recently heard of depths as low as 18.5 inches.

The ones I have now are made by Baby Trend, called Trend Nursery Center (model #PY81804, manufacture date Nov. 2012). The inside depth from top rail to pad is 23"

I still have my old Graco too (model number 1776294, manufacture date was I believe 2008?). I don't use it for my daycare but I do keep it around for when my niece visits. I have it out now because she's here visiting for the week and the side rails are also 23" while the end rails bow upward and top out at 29"


Did I miss, do they still sell the one's you have and recommend? If they haven't been recalled or deemed unacceptable all that time they sound like a really fantastic alternative.

They don't sell the J Mason brand anymore. I've been watching craigslist and missed out on one a year or so ago, but haven't seen any since.

they were never recalled. They won national safety awards. They quit making them when they shut down their entire child equipment line. Really sad because the invention was BRILLIANT. With the help of experienced caregivers they could have the perfect safest confinement for infants AND toddlers. They solve every aspect I know. I think they are way way safer than cribs.

What is so great about them?

I started buying the jmasons in the early 2000's so some are nearly a decade old. I have 5 in storage for when they start dying out. I have seven in service now from different generations of them. The very first run was the best but bit by bit they started cheapening them down. The last generation was much smaller and more shallow. I use the one I got from the last generation for newborns. As soon as the baby pulls up I switch out to the bigger deeper ones.

A little of topic but just wanted to let you know about my recent purchase. I just bought 2 jmason PNP's for $20 each.

First one:


and this one:


I really like that they fold like this:

Instructions for J Mason

I have a Fisher Price Nursery Center made by J Mason. There is a changing station attachment and a bassinet attachment. Does anyone have instructions on how to put the thing together properly?

[MarinaVanessa]

Not sure if this is what they're talking about but I just bought two new pnp's and their sides fold in at a \_/ angle as opposed to a sharp \/ angle....perhaps that's what they're talking about?

I just had an unnanounced visit from licensing last month and she checked my pack'n'play and mine has the same \_/ shape you describe (also Graco). She said it was fine (I'm in CA).

As for sheets.. I just made them like a pillow case to slide on. It doesn't take much sewing effort The ones you buy just pull funny and leave the gap.
