Ok, So i want to get a Graco pack n play. They have 2 out that have a "newborn napper" station. One the napper station is removable and you can take it where ever you'd like. The other stays in the pack n play. There is a $40 difference. I am just wondering if the removable part is really worth it. We will have a bassinet upstairs in our bedroom. So the pack n play will primarily be downstairs only. I want to go buy it today- so please let me know what you think. Get the removable for $40 more, or just stick to the stationary one. I definitely want the napper though, so please don't suggest one without. Thanks!

So What Happened?

Thanks ladies! I talked it over with my hubby. We are going to go with the cheaper one. I think since we have a bouncer and swing and bassinet, we really don't need the extra seat for a few short months. Instead, I'll use the $40 saved to buy some bottles or something we really need. Thanks again for the great advise as always.

Ok I looked at both and I'd definitely go with the one that's $159.99. The only difference I can see between the two is that the baby seat that comes out of the one that's 199.99 doubles as a baby "rocker" when removed. Don't really think you need that and the one that's 159.99 has a seat you can use & remove too. Both also have a removable changing station and you can set the mattress in both to a higher position when they are newborn and can't sit up yet. Then you can lower the mattress in the playard when they start rolling over or moving around.

I can't believe how many more features these have than the one I bought in 2008! They have a music box, attached diaper stacker, newborn station, I'm so jealous!!! Congrats. :)

It looks like you've made your decision, but just in case you wanted to take a peek at this one, this is what we have. It's in your price range...at least off of Amazon.

- It has an infant bassinet for newborns
- Toy play thing that is removable.
- Changing station
- little electronic thing that plays music, turns on a dim light, vibrates the whole bed (awesome because it's voice activated and if it hears baby cry, you can set it to vibrate and often baby will go back to sleep...it's a very gentle vibrate).
- There is also a remote control that controls the electronic thing should you want to do it from a distance.

We love it. It's easy to move from room to room, through doorways, though you might slightly have to collapse it just a touch to fit it through. We are planning to buy another when this next baby arrives in a few months.

Personally, I'd go with the less expensive one since you can really just use the higher level for naps in the pack n play or use your bassinet. And fyi, you can snap up a like new full featured pack n play on Craigs for $40-50. Bought most of my nearly new gear that way and saved thousands, not to mention I've already begun selling back and re-cooped all I spent thus far (this is last child, my other two are older).

I would go with the 159.99 as well, especially if you are going to have a bouncy seat or other infant seat. Save yourself the extra $....
