Please help me decide on our pack and play. Yes of all things I am stressing about a pack and play!

Do we go with the Chicco Sahara with all the frills or the Graco Nouvelle that is simple but still serves the purpose?

cerad5 · June 2009

All the frills!! We are planning on using a P&P like that as the bassinet for the first few weeks.

nicolebuchalla · June 2009

I really like the first one, but I see the benefit of the bottom one, too! They are really similar, though.

eokorie · June 2009

I like the second one for the look, but the first seems more useful.

TeamRey · June 2009

I say first one if you think the bassinet and changing table is something you would use. We are getting on like that so we don't have to buy a bassinet and so we take up less space in the house have two items.

dreamscometrue* · June 2009

that's tough. You could register for the fancy one & see if someone gets it for you. If they don't, then buy the no-frills one for yourself?

We registered for the Graco Nouvelle though, so I'd say that's just fine My mom keeps saying "wow, it's a wonder we ever raised babies without all this vibrating/music playing/positioning stuff" and I think she has a good point! It's not necessary

Chicco Sahara!!!

the one we got is similar to this!

merjmm what part of the burbs are you near

Go for the fancy one if youre planning to visit family or go anywhere for the first few months. It can really come in handy for spending the day at grandma's, etc.

This is what we are doing too. We are registering for Graco Bombay.

I think it depends on what you need it for. I would go with the second one but, my cousin is giving me her old bassinet and we have a changing table/portable changing pad so we don't need a P&P with all the frills. But if you don't have a bassinet and wanted one or something like it I'd go with the first one.

ickasticka · June 2009

I like the top one the best. We're planning on getting something similar to use as a bassinet/changing table for the first three months. Then we'll be able to use it to take the baby places or for overnights.

I live in North Wales (Lansdale/Doylestown area)

iuplori · June 2009

I would go with the fancier one if it is primarily for your use. I know my parents got a simpler one too keep at their place for granddaughter visits, but we picked out one with all the works for our house. It's going to be the baby station for downstairs!

BTW meaz614 and merjmm, I'm nearby in the Newtown area.

ruthie oct3 · June 2009

we registered for the chicco one. It has the bassinet and changing table.. but I like the way the changing table folds down when not in use. I am not sure how the Graco changing tbale folds or removes. I also liked the way the chicco one folded and how it has the wheels that stick out of the bag to help with portability.

I think either one would be fine.

BetsyDavis · June 2009

I say Chicco It looks like the one we are looking at.?

mwalliser · June 2009

Personally, it depends on how much you plan to use it. They both look pretty great.

We got the Chicco one and have used it a total of 3 times. Of course, now my Mom isn't working and so we've set it up at her house on a permanent basis so that DD has a place to sleep when she watches her.

jennlynn41584 · June 2009

I say the Graco one. That way if you have another baby it is practical for both. We registered for the same Graco.

epopp85 · June 2009

We travel constantly so we are getting the one with all of the bells and whistles. When we went to actually play with the set up ones at BRU though, we found we liked Baby Trend's version better. We didn't like that you had to adjust the Graco one's sun visor with velcro and the way the changing table didn't sit all the way down on the frame made us uncomfortable. Not to mention that the Baby Trend one is cheaper!! GL with your decision.

Klafountain · June 2009

i like the first one

Celiarh1 · June 2009

Chicco Sahara! my friend used it with her daughter and at one she still uses it! they keep it at grandmas house so she has a place to sleep when they are over there

HapPapFam · June 2009

I like the 1st one.

CincyRaysb2b · June 2009

I registered for the top one.

SuzieBrowne2B · June 2009

My cousin told me to be sure and check the weight on the changing table part of the pack n play 'cause if you end up having a bigger baby they grow out of using the changing table pretty quickly and then it might not be worth having......

Chicco
