    No "V" folding rails. Rail sides store in sleeves under the bottom. Folds down flat verses into a rectangular shape like most PNP's. Mattress is thick (no board or fiber-board inside) and velcros to the bottom.

    Mine look like this

        They no longer make them.
        I think they stopped in 1998 but I don't know the date for sure...

        Like Nan, I just buy them any time I see them on CL or E-bay or garage sales.

            I haven't heard of any changes here. PNPs are still legal.

              I still use PNP's when I have that age. I have two and will never have more than two in them (none right now except my 2yr grandson who is climbing out I think I am going to transition him when he is here). With them not in use much I can clean them, I have the drying time. But if I had more in them I would probably by more so they could have their own.

                    Pack n plays are still legal here. I just happened to apply for a special grant. They grantor isn't requiring me to replace it; the assessor strongly recommended it. I only take one infant at a time and she is the only one that uses the pack n play. The assessor was specifically concerned about safety and didn't mention sanitation. The little girl is 9 months old so there is no way she could crawl out. (I transition kids at 12 months)

                      My parents had a metal crib that they used for one (or two??) of my cousins that they would have bought in the early 80's. A quick Google search shows me that you can still buy metal cribs. I think they're allowed here, but I'm actually not sure. I have no idea about other states.

                        They come with the CoC. We call them baby jails.

                            This is where we run into problems. I have had a couple of "recommendations" from analysts. At first, I thought that they were actual licensing requirements until I did my due diligence. I have read here that other providers have had similar experiences.

                            Recommendations can be taken under advisement. Apply them or not, if they aren't requirements, then there is no harm.

                              I have all metal, evacuation cribs, now. PNP's are no longer "recommended". They will net you a "Discussed proper, safe, infant sleep environments. Improvement plan recommended." statement on your public inspection record if you choose to keep using them.

                              So, even though legal, using PNP's make you look less than "Quality" on your public State inspection page.

                              ** Minimum 2 inch mattress required. The three inch mattresses compress to meet the minimum in under a year, so buying a 2 inch means replacing yearly. Yes, they come in with rulers. happyface
                              - Unless otherwise stated, all my posts are personal opinion and worth what you paid for them.

                                What state is that? CA?

                                ETA: I haven't seen that here yet, not that I'd be surprised to see rulers. My classroom got a violation on our last inspection for having some tape residue on the wall.
