Bassinet and Pack n Play?

klibby707

Do I need to register for a bassinet and a pack n play?  Our pack n play has a bassinet feature which is why I'm asking?  What did you do, or what are you planning on doing?  Thanks!

You don't need both, just register for the PnP.  DS slept in the bassinet of the PnP in our room for the first 4.5 months and it worked out great.

no.  just make sure the bassinet is not that little curved sleeper that sits on top....babies need to be flat on their back...were told this in the hospital

this is what we have...i loved the storage feature to keep stuff handy in our room

I'm confused.  This is probably a ridiculous question...but is the bassinet the changing table on the one you showed?  We are registered at Buy, Buy Baby too, so we can easily change the pack n play.

No.  The "bassinet" is basically just the regular "mattress" raised so it is easier for you to bend and place the baby.  The thing on the right that snaps in and sits on top is the changing table.

this one has the "bassinet" part like mine...mattress just raised higher but no changing table attachment.  Which is not a necessity really, but convenient to have in your bedroom.  I have changed our son on our bed too.

It says there is a changing table part to attach.  If you look below, there is a picture.  

 However, after reading more, I decided to go with this one that you recommended.  I also changed the swing to match which is a combo swing/bouncer!  THANK YOU, Lina!

My pleasure!

We have the Graco Sweet Peace swing...although this one looks nice too.  Ours also doubles as a vibrating chair and it rocks...not necessarily a "bouncer"  We also got the Fisher price Infant-to_Toddler rocker...I love anything that has multi-use.  I LOVE LOVE LOVE our high chair...Graco Blossom 4-in-1...google to find the demo video.  We were SOLD! Can be used down the road w/2 children.  Good luck with your purchases and your little one on the way!

Does the Graco Blossom 4 in 1 collapse to carry with to places?

the second one is the rocker you are talking about, right?

Sorry, you are so helping me!!!

We have both but that is only b/c SIL gave me her bassinet.  I wouldn't have bought one myself- totally unneccessary but it is nice to have.  The bassinet is set up in our room upstairs and the PNP w/ bassinet is set up downstairs in the living room.  So it is convenient, but again, not worth the extra money.

klibby707

Lina, went with that highchair too!  It's sweet!

We're doing both - bassinet for our bedroom and the pack n play in the family room - definitely don't want to have to move the p n p around!

YAY! SO glad to help.  No, it is the 1st rocker (newborn to toddler rocker)

and I see below you went w/the Graco Blossom. YIPPEE!!

What else do you need to register for?

Oh..another item I LOVE is the Summer Infant Best View Video (color) monitor...it pans and zooms...so from the remote you can move the camera if the baby moves in crib.  It's AWESOME!!!  Great night vision (b/w) and color during the day.  This model is only at BBB. As far as car seats...the Chicco Key Fit 30 was what we went with for safety and installation reasons (also great w/our Baby Jogger City Select stroller...which again WE LOVE!!!)

Thanks.  I also added the monitor and the rocker.  You rock!  We have a chicco key fit 30 seat on our registry with the stroller.

My pleasure!! If you need any other recs, let me know!  I am a nut when it comes to researching anything and everything!
