LO can get out of the Pack n Play, what now?

Ljojo · August 2010

My mom has off work on Wednesdays, so she takes DD to spend some time with her and give me a little break. Anyway, she just tried to put her down for a nap and she climbed right out of the pack n play. She's still in her crib at home, so she hasn't slept in a big bed yet, so what do we do when she's not at home?

we have cribs everywhere we leave our kids.

just an idea from what we use for DS @ daycare...nap mat..., but only if you think she would sleep on one...you could put in on the floor or take out the 'mattress' to the pack n play and they can sleep on that with some extra padding.

Maybe get her a cute little sleeping bag. or like the PP the pad out of the pack and play. I think it would be safer to make her a little spot on the floor.

oh wow. i was just thinking about this yesterday. we nap one in the nursery, and the other in my room in a PNP. if/when they start climbing out of cribs i plan to use crib tents. i don't know that anyone makes tents for PNPs??

the idea of a nap mat doesn't thrill me. i know it works great in a DC setting, but i don't think babies feel the same peer pressure at home to lie on a mat. plus i'm guessing (mine don't go to DC) that the sleep area has to be baby proofed... maybe you could gate off an area, or use a super yard. but she might escape that too. still i might try the mat thing just to see! would be an easy solution if it does work.

Thanks, I'm also thinking about getting one of those little chairs that can fold out.

i guess OP could get a peapod... not sure if a toddler could escape one of those. i'd like to borrow someone's peapods to travel with the girls, but don't feel like buying 2 of them just to find out my girls hate them.

I also don't want to spend too much money on something because she will be ready for a big bed soon enough. So, I'm thinking fold out chair, or we'll just get her the bed rail and give it a shot.

Walmart has a mesh tent like thing that you can attach to the pack n' play. We're about a week away from getting one.....our guy is really close to breaking free!
