Crib or Playpen?
« on: April 03, 2016, 07:53:13 am »

I'm not sure kung may thread na ganito. Please let me know kung meron na, para magback read na lang ako.

Mga soon to be mommies and mommies, anong binili or bibilhin niyo for your baby. Crib or playpen? I still can't decide if we'll get playpen or convertible crib. But im leaning more towards crib.

For crib kasi, i feel like mas comfortable siya pag don siya matutulog.(though balak ko naman siyang itabi sakin sa gabi) Pero pag crib mas mahal, bukod pa dun yung mattress, beddings, bumper pads, etc.

Pagplaypen naman, it's cheaper, pero i think magagamit lang yun ng bongga pag malaki na siya.  as in playpen talaga purpose. Pag new born, pwede pa siya patulugin don. Pero pagbumigat konti, parang hindi na siya magiging comfortable don. Balak ko kasi sana yung pagmatutulog siya sa hapon don ko siya patutulugin. Ang okay naman dito, pwede siya ilipat lipat if ever, unlike sa crib, sa room lang talaga siya.

Safety wise, naiisip ko baka maumpog siya sa kahoy pag crib, pero talaga namang lalagyan siya dapat beddings at bumper pads at saka wala naman ako balak alisin siya sa paningin ko pagnandon siya sa crib, haha. :)


Can't decide! Hehe. Kung pwede lang bilhin both eh noh, kaso hindi naman practical yun. Hehe :D

Kayo mga sis? Anong mas bet niyo?

With my first baby, I chose a playpen, may change table na rin kasama and you can adjust the height of the bedding depending on the baby's age. Kaso when my baby started to learn how to stand, nagstart na rin syang manira. Kinakagat nya yung parang fishnet fabric ng playpen hanggang sa mabutas nya then yung mga butas ginawan nya ng way para maging apakan until natuto syang tumakas. Imagine how creative kids can get. Ayun butas butas yung playpen haha at naging unsafe din sya kalaunan. Good side nya siguro is super handy at nalilipat namin kung saan saan.

This time we chose a crib. Pero we are not allowed to put bumpers on the side. Hindi approved dito sa country. Although may alternative sila na pinropose.

We chose a crib din. Pine wood.
More stable siya than the super plastic na composition ng playpens. Magagamit mo siya pag malaki na si baby. Hanggang 2yrs yata kasya siya dito (that is kung papayag pa si baby na nakacrib siya).
Also mesh type yung napili namin sa 'floor' ng crib so maginhawa. Mainit kasi here sa atin sa pinas kaya ito talaga choice ko.
Another thing, nasira ng cousin ko yung Graco playpen niya when she started cruising. As in nasira niya yung net. Hahaha.

^kami naman we bought a second hand Graco pack and play sa olx. Nabili namin for 1,300 lang sa isang parent. Wala pang butas. Nilabhan na namin and ready to use na.

Pero plano pa namin bumili ng isa pang crib kasi 2 floors ang bahay. Thinking pa kung anong klase ang bibilhin ko. Ayaw kasi namin ng wooden crib dahil bulky kapag tinatabi. Baka defer ko muna ang pagbili until mapanganak ang baby.

We have a wooden crib din for our LO. Hand me down lang from my brother. Yun yung gagamitin namin sa house, then my parents naman will set up a playpen sa house nila so may playpen si baby pag andun kami. Ang plan ko kasi talaga is to have a crib and then eventually convert it to a toddler bed, kaya hindi ko talaga kinonsider bumili ng playpen.

fionaapple, 2 floors din apartment namin pero ang magiging set up namin is yung crib sa room ni baby, then bouncer lang downstairs.

Kahapon ko lang din nalaman sis na bawal bumpers dito. Sinabi lang sakin ng kasamahan ko sa work. Plan ko pa naman bumili. Parang nireplace nila nung mga mesh type na bumper, see this link: http://www.babybunting.com.au/airwrap-mesh-4-sides.html

Safer daw kasi to.

Mga sis na crib ang binili.

san ba makakabili ng magandang crib sets? Yung mga bedding. Sa SM dept store kasi limited lang yung designs. Gusto ko sana yung mga neutral colors lang. Like this :

http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=70110926&cp=2255957.2273443.2256244.68294576.3123061&parentPage=family

Sa mga hindi pa pala nakakabili nung mattress for the crib, pagawa nalang kayo sa mismong uratex. Grabe yung difference ng price! 28x52x6 na mattress 1175 lang sa uratex, sa mall 2k plus sya. Made to order siya, 7 working days bago makuha. :)

^sis yung sa amin pinagawa din namin yung mattress. Well yung crib kasi is hindi standard size kaya we had to have a made to order na mattress, pero true, laki ng difference sa mall. I forgot the actual size na pinagawa namin pero mas malaki kasi sya and pinakapalan na din namin kasi we plan to use it pa din until maconvert namin to toddler bed yung crib. For the beddings, magpapatahi na lang din kami siguro. Gusto namin ni husband ng pastel colors and light gray combo.
