I say a pack and play for now then a crib later. I had both for my DS and I was too scared to leave him in his crib and he wouldn't sleep by himself in his pack in play. I hated it but he slept in my bed between my husband and I on a boppy pillow. I know they shouldn't be used for that but if was the only way he would sleep. At 4 months old he finally slept in his crib but we use his pack in play for naps or just to leave him some where safe to play. I wouldn't recommend ever taking it down and putting it back up though... It's not as easy as you would expect... Lol

We are getting both.

We are getting both since we travel back home a lot

I'm just getting a pack and play this time around. I had a crib for my other two and they never used it. It just held clothes and toys. It was a waste of $400.

I've used a crib with my 2 kids. This time I will be getting a pack n play also just because I'm afraid to have the baby low to the ground with my 2 toddlers around the house.

Due to space constraints I'm just getting pack n play. I'm also ordering a thicker mattress for it so the baby will get a good night sleep.

I'm with a pack n play all day. I had a crib with my first 2 and hardly used it. Son #3 went from pack n play to toddler bed. Baby 4 will do the same.

& my only concern is how long can he sleep in there. I know it says it holds up to 30 lbs but about how old is that ?

Yea. I'll probably get the pack & play for now. Then crib later. I really want both too. Lol but I'm doing this on my own. I don't want to be cheap for my son but I just have to budget right now. & he'll probably be sleeping with me around 5 months anyways. lol.

So were getting a pack and play that has a basinet and also has a changing table but we are also getting a crib for when our baby can sleep on her own in the nursery around 3-4 months.. We are getting the pack and play to replace a basinet since it already has one and we can still use the pack and play after she no longer uses the bassinet and it will be put in the living room and another bonus is because it has a changing table we'll have 2 areas in the house were we'll be able to changer her one in the nursery because were going to purchase a changing table as well then in the living room to me seems worth it to get just i would be replacing it over a bassinet not a crib your baby should be sleeping in a crib after a couple of months and its important you have a decent mattress as well for your babys head and to be comfortable.

I always have both too :) the pack n play is amazing for if you're going out of town or even going out for a day at a friends or anything like that, perfect space for baby to sleep/play... Anything really. If you have the space than I would say go for both :)

I'm going with a pack and play and a bassinet. I'd love a crib, but my space won't allow for it. I have such a small bedroom and no separate room for baby.

We got both. Crib for when the baby sleeps at night and pack n play to move around the house and keep downstairs. Plus I want her room to be complete even if in the end I don't use the crib. We got a crib that transforms to a toddler bed, and then a full size bed.
