Play Yard question...

Which would you go with???

The one I originally wanted is in stock again, but there's a different one for the same price that we're trying to decide between.

They're both Graco... would you get the one with the full size bassinet, canopy w/mobile and changing table, or the other with 3/4 size bassinet, mobile, changing table, music and vibration???

They're the Graco French Bear, and then the Graco Bentley Bear?

Do you need all of the features? What's really necessary, and what really helps? Thanks!

I don't know if you need all the features or not, but I got the Graco French Bear. I don't know if it's helpful or not yet since my baby is not due to be here until May.

HELP!!! Nobody has any other opinions??? Is the 3/4 bassinet sufficient enough? We're not using a bassinet, we have 2 BIG huskies that sleep in our room with us, so I thought we would use that for little while next to the bed until he goes into the crib. I really, really need some thoughts. My sister is buying this for us, and she keeps asking which one we want? Thanks again!

Re: Play Yard question...

I thought I replied to your Play yard question. Is this another question? I thought I posted in detail about the full bassinet advantage.

ETA: I see this is from yesterday. I guess it depends on how much you will use it. For example, if the babys room is upstairs and you are going to use it downstairs on your main floor, there's probably an advantage to having the extra goodies. Will you have the baby nap in it during the day closer to you?

3/4 bassinet - I suppose its fine, we had a full bassinet and you only needed sheets of one size when it was high or when you eventually moved the baby lower.

Just make sure you get a playyard with wheels, a big advantage IMO

HTH

I have a 1/2 bassinet with little mobile and 1/2 changing table top on my play yard and that works well for us BUT the baby sleeps in a full size bassinet most of the time. I only use the play yard in our living room when I need to put her down quick or change her while I am already in in the LR. And we will use it when we visit Scott's family in MA.

Don't forget you can also return the one you pick if you get it and don't like it much.

Melissa-

If it makes you feel any better, you're not alone with the preggo jelly brain. I dont remember having it when I was pregnant with Luke but I definitely have it this time around.
