We used ours all the time. But, we didn't have a bassinet or a pnp until DD got a little older. It was great because it was easy to lay her down where ever we were at - upstairs, downstairs, in the bathroom, etc). I say it's worth it if you're not interested in a bassinet. I think we'll use it again this time only because DD will want to be in the pnp if we set it up!
Ooh Ooh, that''s the one thing I really want! There's one at restoration hardware, that's beautiful and it has a matching stand that rocks! I think it will be easier to transport than a pack and play, when we go places.
My mom made one for my sis. She used it all the time, and she really liked its portability -- her DS felt "at home" anywhere they went. She uses it as a toy basket now that he's outgrown it.
Re: Moses baskets???
Hahaha I feel the same
