Hi! I wanted to know what you all thought of playards and if you got a lot of use out of them. I am asking because the one I want is pretty expensive and I dont want to spend the money on it unless I will be getting a lot of use out of it. How soon do they outgrow them? Thanks!!!
Re: Hi! 2nd trier - questions about playards
Play yard meaning a pack and play?
I used the pack and play a lot. DD slept in it at the beginning (the vibration feature was great) and still sleeps in it when we travel.
My DD refused to sleep in a pack 'n' play (while we were traveling) after she was about 6 months. We had to switch her to an air mattress.
We never used it as a "play" space.
However, I hear about some kids who will still use it for sleeping away from home at age 2.
DS slept in his for a few weeks but his little baby noises kept me up all night so I moved him to his crib and we rarely used it after that. But it was nice to have when we'd go visit family or had friends visit us and they had a small baby. My sister watched him for a few months and used it for naps. We probably have only used it a handful of times since he was about 8 months.
ETA: I would buy it again and will also use it for #2.
