Pack and Plays come in handy when you just want a safe place to put baby in to either
-
play or nap when you go and do the dishes, take a phone call, something like that. I'm
-
Joie with Baby Earth. We're going to talk about buying a pack and play. Now one of the
-
biggest things with pack and plays is to make sure that they are safe and baby cannot crawl
-
out of it on their own. So you want to make sure that the sides are high enough that baby
-
can't figure out how to get out. Another thing you want is to make sure it's sturdy and safe,
-
that baby can't stand on one side and knock it over. Another important thing is the mesh
-
siding. You want to make sure that a lot of air gets through to baby, lots of circulation,
-
they don't feel trapped. And the mesh is great because no matter what, you can see into the
-
pack and play at all times and know exactly what baby's doing just by glancing over. Now
-
a couple of pack and plays come with some really cool accessories. One that I really
-
like is a changing table. So this is a changing table that's on this one, and this is nice
-
because if you take the pack and play over to grandma and grandpa's, or maybe you have
-
a day out in the park, you have a clean, safe place to change your baby that you're familiar
-
with and you know where everything is. So that's a great accessory. Another thing to
-
keep in mind is where are you taking the pack and play? Are you going to be wheeling it
-
in and out of your house? If so, make sure that it fits through your door frames. Or
-
if it collapses and folds up, it's something that you can carry easily. And of course when
-
you re-open it, you want to make sure that the locks are secure on the wheels and on,
-
anyplace where it collapses. So definitely keep safety in mind. Stop using your pack
-
and play once your kid can climb out of it on their own. Well, I hope you learned a little
-
bit about pack and plays. I'm Joie with Baby Earth.
