Crib, pack n play, or both?

Question

So I’m debating on doing a crib or just a pack n play or both. My mom already purchased me the Graco 4 in 1 pack n play with rocker, changing station, bassinet, and then it’ll be a toddler play pen. I’ve heard a lot about cribs not being used. Money or room isn’t the issue, but I don’t wanna get something we won’t use. Suggestions?

Answer

I'm just using a pack n play for this baby. I had both a crib and pack n play with my first two, but my 2nd had chunky legs and kept getting them stuck in the bars of the crib (leaving bruises on her legs), so I had to put her back in the pack n play. It honestly just depends on what you want.

Answer

This is baby #2 for me....I'm not even thinking about a crib. Have a large cradle for the beginning and a pack n play for the end. My mother is a professional seamstress and she custom makes cushions and small mattresses so she is going to make me a water resistant mattress for the pack n play and cradle.  My son was 1 when I put him in a bed and took his crib down, I felt the crib didn't get much use but that pack n play was worn out when I got rid of it.

Answer

bassinet and crib is what we have used, if you get the right kind if crib it can convert to a toddler bed, we had our boy in the toddler bed till he turned 4!

Answer

Both! My son slept in his pack and play the first three months next to our bed then went into his crib. My niece REFUSES to sleep in her crib, she’ll only sleep in the pack and play. I think it’s convenient to have both! ☺️

Answer

I had it all pack in play in the living area or when you need to get things done around the house. Crib for sleeping at night in my case I wouldn’t want to carry the pack n play up stairs every night..

Answer

We bought a crib so when the baby is old enough it will be able to sleep it it’s own bedroom. 
We also bought a pack n play with the sleeper and changer on it, which we will be keeping that next to our bed at night.

Answer

My son (13 months) has only used a rock n play and his pack n play.  I am really glad we opted out of a crib as we plan to go straight to a toddler bed once baby #2 arrives

Answer

personally I used the crib more but I did have a plak n play also, Its good for traveling or vacations to keep baby safe. I use a bassinet beside my bed for the first 3 months or so then transfer baby to crib :)

Answer

Our daughter spent the first six months in our room in her pack n play, then moved to her crib in her own bedroom. She took naps in her crib on and off during the first six months as well. Because our families also have pack n plays, we haven’t really used ours since she moved to the crib. I’m pregnant with #2 now and we just moved to a two story house. I plan on having the crib in our room for the first six months this time, then I will probably set up the pack n play in there for naps or quick containment, if necessary.

Answer

I used a bassinet until my daughter was 6 months, then her crib had been the go to for naps, and bed time(she sleeps in her own room) and pack n play is used when I need to take a restroom break
