GRACO Pack 'n Play

[istine0618]

Hi mga sis,

Pls share kung anong Graco Pack n Play Model ang meron kayo.
Sturdy ba and talagang magagamit ng baby natin until mag 3 yrs old yung playpen?

Post away mga mommies!

TIA!

[purple_guess07]

yung contour electra binili ng hubby ko. pero halos same lang naman un. di pa namin nagamit pero since graco un, i'm sure sturdy un, kaya kahit pricey mas kampante ako.

[istine0618]

thanks for the reply sis. nalilito kasi ako kung anong model ang bibilhin namin. kung sulit ba [textspeak!] may vibration, night light and sounds. malaki rin kasi price difference nun compared to other model na wala nun.

I'm planning to get a simple pack n play lang like this:

http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2957928

Naisip ko kase na pag masyadong madameng added features, pag hinde na gagamitin mamo-mroblema pa ko kung san itatambak. Yan din reason kaya ayoko na bumili ng 3-in-1 na stroller.

[istine0618]

oo nga sis. yun din iniisip ko. lalo na [textspeak!] may napper, ilang months lang naman yun magagamit ng baby. after that, itatambak na ng matagal na panahon. hehe.

usable kaya talaga yung changing pad na kasama sa graco?
meron kasing pack n play na wala un. i think much cheaper ng around 2-2.5k din.

[liyapot]

i have the chicco playard...
let me comment on the vibra/sounds/nightlight/remote control feature meron din kasi ang chicco nun
sa umpisa..ginamit talaga namin yun kasi di ba? high tech!! nakakaaliw sya eh.. pero kinatamaran na namin gamitin.. kasi mas gusto ni baby yung karga mo sya and hinehele..  first few weeks lang namin ginamit ang features na yon..kasalukuyang nakatanggal yun sa playard
akala ko kasi it will work eh..yun bang when baby cries.. mag on ang music, ilaw and vibra mode then makakatulog na si baby... hinde nangyari yun eh... tsaka nakakaawa naman na hinde mo kargahin?
so hinde namin masyadong nagamit yung feature na yun.

yung changing pad naman nagamit namin yon hanggang sa 4th month nya yata..pero minsan hirapan din kasi akong ipatong sa crib yung changing pad lalo kapag karga ko yung baby at kaming 2 lang ang nasa room kaya sa kama na lang kami minsan..kasi we put it down sa side ng crib eh.. kaya wala din use for us yung diaper dispenser that comes with the crib kasi natatakpan ng changing pad.

[clueless]

i also plan to get a chicco playard, gaya nung kay liyapot - chicco lullaby lx. my husband finds chicco more sturdy than graco that's why we are opting for this.

as regards all the added features, tingin ko din hindi namin magagamit lahat ng matagal. i think lang yung nightlight will be good for us because our bedroom is very dark (black out shades plus heavy curtains on the windows) so talagang gagamit ako ng nightlight.

yung vibration naman, gusto ko gamitin kasi kung pwede sana, ayaw ko sanayin sa hele at karga para makatulog yung baby. i'm not sure how this will work exactly pero yan ang plan ko. kung hindi mag-work ito, sana mag-work ang rocker/bouncer. my 3 year old niece kasi hanggang ngayon nagpapahele bago matulog eh ang bigat bigat na niya!

yung music feeling ko di ko magagamit.

yung changing pad, feeling ko naman magagamit kahit sandali lang.

yung toy gym naman na kasama, magagamit din for tummy time later on so i think ok din ito.

[istine0618]

thanks sis liyapot and clueless.

i'll check chicco na rin. how much ba ngayon [textspeak!] chicco lullaby lx?

[clueless]

^ 16,000 at rustan's and SM.

if you buy from a chicco store mismo, 16,000 din but you can get a lifetime dsicount card for P100 and use it right away to get a 10% discount.

[wengerts]

i have this pero di ko maremember ano yung model
may vibra sounds din sya which we never used. 3 days lang nagamit ng baby ko yun bassinet then we moved her in our bed to co-sleep. yung diaper changer NEVER nagamit takot ko lang baka bumalentong yung crib pag nilagay ko baby ko dun hehe.

ngayon yung playpen na gamit nya. pag time out kami, andun sya hehe or pag tulog sa hapon and yaya needs to do something else para walang danger of her falling from the bed or what.

not sure kung aabot sa min to ng 3 years haha kasi ngayon at 9 months, mataas na sya dun sa longer side of the crib. as in pag nakatayo sya kita mo na yun mata nya. pag tumangkad pa lalo baka kayanin na nya mag climb out dun... we'll see.

i got mine online for less than 150usd.

[liyapot]

clueless..
that was actually the game plan..
yun ang reason why we bought the playard with the fancy extras..... at first ok lang..yung pagkapa-milk mo sa kanya kahit di pa sya tulog ihihiga mo sa sa bassinet then papatulugin sya ng music and vibra.. sa una it worked tapos nung tumagal tagal hinde na! hinde ko sure if it was the temp ng room or she just wanted to be close to me pero dumating yung point na ayaw nya matulog dun.. kaya sa madaling araw dadalhin ko na sya sa tabi ko eventually nakalimutan na namin ang fancy nightlight and vibra ek-ek tsaka  ha! magastos sa battery yun..

in fairness di naman pala karga ang anak ko..mas type nya sa kama..para pwede syang magpagulong gulong dun..pag karga kasi restricted ang galaw nya eh

ang toy gym.. di talaga namin nagamit!!!

yes, i agree the chicco playard is more sturdy.. mabigat sya eh tsaka di mabuway.. pag niyugyog mo yung playard di sya gagalaw.. balanced and firm..  maski tambling tambling na anak ko sa loob di kami natatakot.

[wengerts]

^ same tayo. toy gym parang 1 month lang nagamit!!! sayang pera hahaha yung sabit sabit ginawa ko na lang stroller buddies para di masayang.

sorry sa OT

[twelvth_goddess]

Mas ok ba yung chicco? Hmm, in that case baka i-consider din namin yan.

Yung changing table naman parang magagamit lang sya kung talagang pipilitin mong gamitin. Sabe kase sa ken ng ibang sisses dito,  mas convenient pa din na sa bed palitan si baby. Mas may space and mas safe.

Anong model ng chicco playard ang nice?

[liyapot]

yung playard lullaby lx.. i think they only have one..different colors lang.
mas sturdy for me ang chicco. pero expensive lang sya talaga dito..we bought ours for $160 lang yata.. naka-sale sya nung binili sa babiesrus

[clueless]

sa chiccousa.com, may 2 models ng playard, lullaby and lullaby lx. not sure anong difference nila pero dito lullaby lx lang yata available. and yes, ang mahal talaga dito - twice the price! kaya inisip kong bilhin na lang ito sa amazon pero with $100 shipping, konting price na lang lalabas.

[twelvth_goddess]

Sa babiesrus mejo mura nga sya. yung ninang-to-be kase ng baby ko nag-volunteer to buy her a stroller tapos ipadala dito eh sabe ko play yard na lang hehe..

[LovingWife]

My hubby was the one who highly recommended Graco, it was tried and tested to our eldest son, kaya we didn't think twice of buying Graco.

[$ale... seeker!]

we have the Graco Pack 'n Play Playard in Safari Trails -
i would say sulit 'cause after gamitin ng son ko, hiniram ng niece ko then we will use it again for my 2nd baby! love the features:

Removable full-size bassinet for naptime anytime
Toy bar with removable soft toys provides entertainment
Push-button fold makes folding easy
Wheels with locks for better mobility in the home
Mesh on four sides improves ventilation
Easy to store and transport in handy carry bag

[istine0618]

hi mga sis. thanks for sharing.

nakabili na kami last sunday sa Rob galleria ng Graco playpen and stroller na rin. 30% yung mga nabili namin and in good condition pa naman although display units nalang ang available.

sana masulit sa amin.

[childsplaymanila]

we have the graco pack n play. super sulit especially for out of town trips during the 1st year. at least you have peace of mind that the baby has a safe spot when you're in someone's house or at a hotel. for me, must buy:) am sure we can use it for out future kids. matibay siya and easy to store.
