Which Rock N Play?

brianabrad · September 2012

I'm going to place an order online today for Rock N Play through Target but I'm not sure which one to get. They all seem about the same but have a slightly different price.

I originally planed to get this one . .

But now I'm wondering if this one would be better and more comfortable for baby. We plan to use this for sleep at night in our room.

Any STM's with experience on these two? Or any FTM's already order one or the other? Reviews on both are great.

On the Nurseries and Baby Gear board, a lot of STM's have recommended the 2nd one (Snugabunny).

I read reviews online, and there were a lot of complaints about the non-deluxe ones causing flat heads. Lots of comments were saying the deluxe (the snugabunny) had much better cushioning for the baby's head.

This is what I've seen too.

This. I would definitely get the second one if I were you.

My friend gave me one that's like the first one. I like it, but I didn't know there were issues with causing flat heads. She also gave me a Boppy deluxe head support for the baby that can be used in anything, so I guess I'll stick it in there.

Thanks for the thoughts ladies. It seems like most people are 50/50 on if it will cause a flat head or not, from what some girls told me little ones can suffer from a flat head just from spending too much time in a swing, PNP, car seat or any other baby item.

This is true. Anything can cause a flat head. DS1 got a flat spot on one side of his head because he favored it. Our doctor just told us to use a rolled up receiving blanket to prop his head gently the other way during the day (I wouldn't be comfortable with that while sleeping) when he was in his carseat/bouncer etc.

OP - If price is a factor in your decision, I just found the snugabunny on sale on amazon for the same price as the original:
