Did you buy 2 playards plus a crib?

If the playard is in the bedroom and the crib is in the nursery, where will the baby sleep downstairs?  I think 2 playards is overkill, but my mom swears that I won't want to keep running upstairs to put the baby to sleep or change a diaper.

    Definitely didn't buy 2 playards, but my sister did give me her bassinet...so the playard will go in our finished basement, the bassinet in the main living area for naps, and then the crib - she's not going to sleep in the room with us, though. She's going right in her crib.

    So perhaps instead of a 2nd playard, you can get a bassinet?

    Why do you need a playard in the same room as the crib?  Just keep the crib in the bedroom and the playard downstairs.

    I don't have stairs, but if I did, I would totally use a bouncy seat or swing to have the baby sleep in.  2 playards is overkill.  Plus you can change a baby on the floor or couch.

    Our Finished Basement- a playard that BFF gave us.

    Living Room-  a playard from our registry- got from the shower.

    BedRoom- Bassinet

    Baby's Room- Crib

    So, no it's not too many. Also, DS will be going to an in-home day care, I can bring one of the playards there as well as it would be good when we go away down the shore.

    We have a crib in her room, the PNP in our room and use a bouncy chair downstairs.  It's not a ton of effort to walk up and down the stairs to change diapers or go to get the baby if they are napping.  Plus I think it's a great way to work off the baby weight. :)

    I think it's overkill, you can change a baby anywhere.  Get one of those diaper totes that comes with a changing pad so you have everything you need on whatever floor the nursery is not on.  On that same floor, what about a swing or bouncer or something?

    I think she meant the playard in their bedroom, not the babies?

    That seems like serious overkill but then maybe I am just not that lazy. The crib is in our room upstairs and we don't have a play yard or a basinette. I may keep some diapers downstairs but I will carry the baby upstairs for sleeping if its not sleeping on me in a carrier.
