Anyone have this?

 The Fisher Price rock and play sleeper. We just got it. I'm thinking of using this in the beginning instead of using a bassinet in our room. I like that it inclines and folds up. I figure it will only last a few weeks. It's pretty sweet! We had a bulky bassinet the first time around. Hopefully I'll like this better!

I added it to my registry a couple days ago as a last minute idea.  I am registered for a bassinet as well, but figured options don't hurt if people want to get something off of my registry.  After my shower we're going to decide what items are needs and what items are wants to narrow down our spending.  If we happen to get both (I don't expect much more than onesies and binkies and the like at the shower), then I will probably use to rock and play at my mother's house for naptime when visiting.

I got one for the same purpose. It has such good reviews- hopefully it is as good as it sounds!

My sister and a friend both used it and loved it.  My nephew would not sleep but when she got the sleeper he started sleeping for hours at a time.  It has INCREDIBLE reviews from everywhere online that sells it. 

 I plan on using it because DS had horrible reflux, to the extent that it changed his voice as a newborn and it is still scratchy.  I'm not taking any chances with this LO.

We used it instead of a bassinet next to our bed until we transitioned to the crib at 5 weeks. DS also has acid reflux, so it was great that is has a recline. We used it instead of a pack n play when we visited my parents and the in-laws until DS got too tall. We LOVED it and DS seemed to love it too. It is super easy to travel with.

If you read the one-star reviews on amazon, people talk about the RnP "causing" positional plagiocephaly or flat head syndrome, and torticolis, because the sleeping base is really hard and the baby can "rest" his head against the sides.

FWIW- I think as long as you make sure your baby has tummy time every day, you won't have an issue. Also, I'm pretty sure torticolis is not something baby develops from body positioning, I think it is congenital (something a small percentage of babies are born with).

Someone bought it for us off our registry.  I've heard such amazing things and it's not very expensive considering how much bassinets can be.  I'm planning on having her sleep in it next to the bed during the early days/weeks.

Can they be flat on their backs in this? If not then it's probably not ok for sleeping in as their little necks cannot hold up their heads in rem sleep and they have a higher risk of dying. That's why you're not supposed to let them sleep in their carseats.

Hmmm, I didn't read those reviews! With my 1st with only had him in the bassinet for about 4 weeks anyway until we transitioned into the crib. I'm not worried about it!

One of my good friends has a three month old and is still using it.  Her LO has reflux issues and it is the only place he sleeps comfortably.  I actually just sold our bassinet from DD and bought one of those too.  I think it will be handy to for trips too since it can just fold right up.

They still sleep "flat", but the "seat'" part has about a 30 degree incline - GREAT for our reflux baby! Obviously, with an incline, the baby isn't completely flat, but it isn't at all like the way a baby is positioned in a carseat.

When we transitioned to the crib, we had to put a crib wedge under the mattress. DS kept "sliding" down the wedge, which defeated the purpose. That didn't happen in the RnP.

we have one. i bought it off amazon when it was on sale. I figure it will be easier to tote with us when we are only doing day trips and we'll bring the PnP when we are staying over night.

I saw this at BRU and thought it seemed ideal. I went home and read reviews on it and added it to the registry. I plan to use it for at least the first few weeks, next to my bed. It's super light and portable too, so i'm sure i'll get a lot of use out of it, even after baby is in the crib.
