So I am registered for the Graco Birkshire PNP, here.

I like it because it has the three things I am looking for: 1) vibrating feature, 2) changing area and 3) lots of "storage" underneath of baby items. We will be traveling a lot on the weekends so it would be nice to 'set up shop' with diapers, toiletries, clothes, etc in one place.

However this is like the most expensive PnP on the planet and I am doubting we will get it off our registry - the people that we would receive "big ticket" items from have already given us big gifts.

So in case we don't get it, I am researching other (less expensive) options with the three features listed above. I can't find ANYTHING! The storage seems to be the hardest feature to find.

This Jeep model has storage on the side but I don't think the mattress vibrates.

Help me ladies! Do you know of other models that have those features?!

TIA!

Craigslist, my dear, if you are comfortable with it. I just found a brand spankin new basinett originally 150-200 bucks for 40 so I am picking it up this afternoon. She said her twins didnt like sleeping anywhere but with her. Ha!

Well you might not get one person to buy it for you, but you may end up with a few gift cards and then you can go buy the one you want...

We have a Graco from when DD was born.

A couple of things:

1) The vibrating feature was the BEST thing ever! I swear that is what helped her sleep so well as a newborn.

2) I never used the changing thing. Never. Not once and we traveled with it a lot.

Good luck

Nothing with that amount of storage - however, that storage is going to effectively disappear as soon as LO outgrows the bassinet right? Same with the vibrating and changing area, from what I know of Graco PnPs. You might be better off just finding something with a few of the features for less money.

We went with this, for instance:
https://www.amazon.com/Graco-Silhouette-Pack-Bassinet-Changer/dp/B001TK3C78/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=baby-products&qid=1262979409&sr=1-1

To save the $40+, you could just keep a bunch of the stuff in a diaper bag.

Did you see this one?

It vibrates and has a stow-away changing table. You could also use the space underneath the bassinet feature for storage.

I have the Jeep version that you cited ($139.99 at Target) and we love it. It doesn't vibrate but it does have lots of storage and it packs up more compact than some other models that we tried, which was important to us with all of the travel we'll need to do.

We have the compact version of the one you want ( it doesn't have a changing table) and I believe we paid $139 for it. It has the vibrating feature and the storage at the bottom.

I have the Townsend ($209 at BRU) one of these, and I got it at Walmart for $45 less. It doesn't look like they have the Birkshire, but they are similar. Maybe, you'll find something similar and cheaper.
