Do you use your pack n play?

Pennylane824 · January 2010

We aren't getting much use out of it. She has never really been a fan.

I'm thinking at this point I'll put it in the den to use as a place for her to play and then we'll just bring it with us when she stays over somewhere so she has a place to nap.

babyhina1 · January 2010

We put it in our office and use the changing table part a lot. She doesn't like to sleep in it but she will play in it while we're in the office doing stuff

He sleeps in his PNP at night (he's still in our room) and I use it for his naps when we go places.

BengalBelle · January 2010

We use it occasionally in the den for bare-behind-time due to sporadic raw booty. And then we keep it handy by the door in case we're going somewhere where he's going to need to nap. Mostly if we're going to the ILs. My parents have their own PnP and that's where he hangs out at their house if he's not being held.

I used it a ton the first month or so but not so much now. I was rearranging the living room yesterday and thought about just taking it down but ended up leaving it for now.

By the way, Happy 4 months to Madison!

When I was staying home with her we did all the time, now is she naps from the time we get home until bathtime at all she gets put in there but that's it...I also think we'll use it onces she's bigger for play time.

Maykay81 · January 2010

we travel a lot so we use it then. I'm not sure how much we will actually use it for her to play in. But who knows once she starts crawling.

kokomama · January 2010

We have it set up in our bedroom, and DS still sleeps in it at night.

fairychick77 · January 2010

We just stopped using ours over the weekend. He had been sleeping in his PNP in our room but we transitioned him to his crib on Friday. When he spends the night with my mom, we take it so he has a place to sleep.

BlairWaldorf · January 2010

yep, it's downstairs as a changing station & a "play pen." It's an excellent place to put him when I'm downstairs & need to run to the bathroom, or grab something out of the oven, etc. & Tuck can't get to him.

sgrl · January 2010

She sleeps in it, so yes, we use it all the time.

AfterAll · January 2010

It had been downstairs from day 1. We used the bassinet part to put him down sometimes, and we used the changer. We recently put it away because it was taking up too much space-- he is too big for the bassinet, and we had a smaller changing table to replace it with.

When we go away in May we will take it with us to use as a crib.

AppleMomma · January 2010

I honestly haven't used ours much, but it's going to come in handy when we move. In case we don't have DS's stuff set up we can just up the PNP.

This is how we use ours only our dog is Mecky.

ivs112 · January 2010

She slept in it for the first month and then it just sat around unused until I went back to work. It's at my mom's house now and she naps and plays in there during the day.

blushingbrideoct07 · January 2010

We use the changer part. ?We are too lazy to go upstairs to change her diaper.

TashaLee · January 2010

We used ours more in the beginning than we do now. We had it set up in the living room and we used to put her playmat in there because our dog used to think the toys on it were for him!! *lol* But now that he's more adjusted we don't use it as often. I still have it set up though, just in case!

iowagirl73 · January 2010

I use it every day at the moment since DS2 sleeps in the bassinet of it (not much longer though). At that point, it will be used when he is more mobile and I need him in 1 place for when I do things like bring in groceries and have the door open, cook, etc. It will also be used for traveling purposes as his bed. I'm using the same PnP as we had for DS1. I have gotten GREAT use out of mine.

johnsoar · January 2010

no not really. MIL bought it for DD for Christmas (she was almost 9 months at the time). We then left it at the ILs since she goes there for daycare. She used it for naps and since I don't work summers we took it home and they didn't want it back since the oldest cousin now sleeps in a big bed so they had an extra pack n play for DD to sleep in. Now it just sits in our closet unless we go overnight someplace.

ksayles · January 2010

That is where she slept for the first 3 months. I would have used it longer, but she was way over the weight limit.

We plan on using as our travel crib when we go up to our lake house.

kiwi443 · January 2010

I packed it away after 2 1/2 months. I probably won't use it again until we go camping in the summer.

heatherlane · January 2010

We had 2 in the beginning (my mom bought one for her house and loaned it to us for a few months). One in our room, one in the living room (we have a 2 story house). We gave hers back about a month after he started sleeping in his crib.

I am ready to move the one in the LR somewhere so he can use it to play. We may just pack it up and leave it in the dining room (not used as a dining room currently) so that we can use it outside in the spring when we're doing yard work, etc. I like letting him nap outdoors occasionally when it's warm enough. I use the changing table very rarely now...maybe once a week.

Temp67694062501186 · January 2010

Yes we use it everyday - it's in our living room. She plays in it, sometimes naps in it, and it's a place I can place her while I run to the restroom or do chores/get ready for work/etc when she's had enough of the jumperoo or bouncy seat.

snickerdoodle27 · January 2010

We have ours downstairs and I use the changing table part all the time. I keep spare onsies, burp clothes, bibs, etc in the bed part of it. I don't put her down for naps in it. We used it all the time with ds when we traveled so once she's too long for the changing table I'll put it away and haul it out for travel.

aroberts7106 · January 2010

We use ours every day! 95% of DS's diapers get changed on it, and he takes his naps during the day in it (when IL's are baby sitting). I could not survive without it....we love it!

MommyandKate · January 2010

We used it for the first 6 weeks or so for sleeping, but now it's almost never used. I'll bring it back as a playpen once she's mobile.

jcsntms06 · January 2010

We use the changing table more then the crib area, but I can't stand to get rid of it yet. We are still working with her to nap in it.

SusieQ1982 · January 2010

All the fricking time. By far the most used item ever. He napped in the newborn napper when he was little, we still use the change table, and he now naps in the bassinet compartment.

But for reference, we don't use his crib and we won't until he is 6 months old. We actually have two PnPs, one for upstairs and one for downstairs so that he is never unattended.

KMS1025 · January 2010

Every day! He slept in the newborn napper for a couple weeks, but didn't like it. He has been sleeping in the bassinet part ever since. He takes naps multiple places, the floor, our bed, but at night he is always in his "bed". I think him being used to the bassinet will help move him to the crib later. We never used the changer part, maybe it's just me, but it kills my back to bend over it!!

ZAngel · January 2010

We use ours for a changing table downstairs. I hate going up and down all day so it makes it much easier.
