    Best Pack and Play Ever???

    I am on the hunt for nice pack and plays. I am giving up the hope of ever being able to find one that is deeper than all the rest. They are all about the same height.

    I am now on the hunt for the pack and play that is the EASIEST to set up.

    I think I found one!! Drawback: it's price....ugh



    thoughts?? anyone have one??

    oh I so feel like hugging you right now :hug:

    I've been looking for a couple of decent ones to replace the ones I have, they are not old, but they are very poorly made, the mat has no sawed sections like the one in your link and it developed an ugly fold in the center

    Thank you for sharing this, love the color too:hug:

      Looks nice but it is sooooo shallow.

      Hands down the best PNP are the JMason ones that were discontinued long ago. I bought 2 from Craig's List and wish they still made them.....I can NOT say enough about how great they are.

      My other PNP that I have and like a lot is the Eddie Bauer one like this




      It is a bit shallow too but I use it only when I have to. I just think it's construction is solid and sturdy and not flimsy at all.

        I use the funsport pack and plays from graco. It's simple to set up and it's compact. they also sell 3 inch mattresses for them so I have those for them as well. I only have under 18 month children in them so climbing out isn't a problem for me.

          where did you get the mattresses?


          I have those as well but I'm looking for something easier.

            It looks like this is by Cosco not Graco, but looks similar to others. Most play yards are the same size and they make a universal 3" mattress for play yards. We have a Graco Travelite which is a smaller model that fits through doors but that's on its way out. I also have another one someone gave me, it's nice but a PITA to set up and take down! Ugh!!

                I think I'm just gonna bite the bullet and get a few 4 moms breeze.

                The problem is I need to take these day every day. I'm not doing that and they are in the way after hours. My dcks sleep in my kids rooms..

                  Sorry, it is by Costco, the pack and plays and mattresses. I didn't think that they got much easier to use than those. Their the simplest ones that I have found so far.

                    Have you considered those wooden fold flat cribs?

                    Easy to set up and take down. Prices are comparable.

                      good idea! I will take a look more at those later!! The only problem with those is they take up more storage space...

                          Please keep this updated- I am trying to decide what to do as far as pack n plays too! And have looked at the food up cribs- black cat- do you (or anyone else ) use the fold up cribs?? I just hate the extra space keeping the cribs up uses- but I also HIGHLY DISLIKE taking the traditional pack n play up and down!

                            CatHerder does..... she posted a picture in another thread a while back about using them.

                            She says they go up lickety split and come down just as easily.

                            Plus being wooden verses cloth or mesh it would seem they would be MUCH easier to clean and sanitize them.

                              Thanks!! I am also nervous about investing in a pack n play and then having them become banned for dc...
