Pack n Plays Are Not Safe for Sleeping????

[nannyde]

My state hasn't regulated PNP...yet... but when they do I am going to have to go with the mini wooden cribs because I do NOT want a full sized crib and I refuse to buy any of these newer PNP's as they are so tiny and disposable-like.

I have an older Graco (like 15+ yrs older) and 2 of the JMason's that NannyDe talks about and I LOVE LOVE LOVE them and totally understand why she loves them so. lovethis

I remember this update ... at this point all current pack n plays were compliant to these standards, it was the older one's that people were buying used that didn't always meet standards. When this update came out I bought 2 new pack n plays (I needed to anyway). I hope we don't see any more updates that make it so that I have to use a folding crib or mini crib ... I don't have the room for that

I don't have the money or room! It would really **** for this area. I get tons of calls for infants.

I know this isn't possible everywhere, but I purchase a $30 pack n play for EVERY child that starts. No one ever uses another child's pack n play. When the child leaves, I usually turn their pnp into an outdoor one, sometimes I send it with the child, sometimes I sell it.

I wonder if they would still say it isn't sanitary....

I have an Eddie Bauer one and it is high quality. The new ones are way different.

I had an Eddie Bauer one that was older too and it was really nice but it was recalled because of the bassinet attachment that came with it. I never used that part but my licensor said that since the recall didn't specifically say to toss the bassinet and use the other part but instead just listed the whole PNP (model #) I couldn't use it anymore.

This may sound stupid but how can you tell if it meets standards? Is there a seal of approval?

Oh man! I don't use the bassinet part either... Do you know where to find out recalls?

I LOVE THESE!! Even if they are old I don't think they go against any of the standards for P n P's (as far as I could remember). I know a couple of old school providers in the area that have them and I've already called dibs on them if they ever retired ::::::

For cribs they are by law required to come with safety standard certificates of compliance. For PNP's they aren't yet regulated by the CPSC but when they are, they'll come with those same certificates.

As for regulations per state, it seems each state has their own (if they have any standards about them at all) otherwise the CPSC has an article about it here:

You can go to this site and use the model # and search to see if it's on the recall list.

I have a JMason, but not sure it is the ones you are talking about. It is slightly smaller than most PNP and I love it too. The sleep mat velcros to the PNP. Is yours like this?

I only take 18m+, IF a child WILL NOT stay on a mat (and I give it a good 4 weeks) then I buy a new PNP. I use it exclusively for that child, sanitize it weekly (which is admittedly a PITB) if a child does something horrendous to it, it's cheap enough that I just toss it.
