Pack N'Play or Arms Reach

[WolfpackMom]

Does anyone know how I can get a good deal on one of these? I need it kinda last minute so online wont work, I did check Craigslist but there were like 3 on there and none looked too great. Is a 20% off coupon at BRU my best option?
TIA!

diapers.com has 10% off play yards with code SCGEAR1. Using bing gets you another 10% back. Diapers.com has next day shipping or two day shipping to most places, so unless you need it tomorrow, you would be okay. (In fact, you may still be able to order today and receive it tomorrow - at least that's what shows up on my screen)
But it's about the same as BRUS with coupon though you save sales tax and don't need to leave the house, depending on the style/features you're looking for.
FWIW - The thing I found about Graco pack n' plays is that different stores carry different patterns, so if you're looking for a specific pattern or color scheme, that may limit you as to where you shop.

Thanks, I will check them out and see if theres anything that would work! I did find one viable option on Craigslist, 50$ for a minicosleeper that they say has only been used twice (who knows if thats true) if its in good shape I would say thats probably a pretty good deal right? Those are about $130 brand new.

If you have a BRU close, it's amazing what the clearance section sometimes has. Add on a 20% and you might find a deal worth getting new for. Any consignment stores in your area like "Once Upon a Child"???

I would say the Craigslist one is a great deal. I paid $65 for a Mini on Craigslist, but it did come with the leg extenders and sheets, too. For something we're planning on using for just about six months, I am very happy with it, and I like that it's smaller than a pack n play, so it will fit in our bedroom better. Plus I like that the barrier lowers so that you have easier access to baby and can have baby right up next to the bed. I am planning on moving my nightstand out of the way so that it will still be easier for me to get in and out of bed without having to navigate as awkwardly. Good luck!

I am going to check clearance and TJ Maxx, I see them there sometimes. We used an arms reach the first 2 months and it was awesome, you will like it moonshh. We had borrowed ours from someone and had to return it. Now we are headed to the beach for just a weekend, DS is almost 5 months old but I think if I get the craigslist one he will be OK to sleep in it for a night or two (probably on the lower setting rather than up high at bed level). Even on the higher setting the weight limit is like 30lbs right? We are going to want one of these for the next baby anyways...
We do have a consignment store, but thats not really going to work for us, the best one just closed :( it also happened to be one my friend managed, the other one is WAY overpriced, they have gymbo clothes in there for more $$ than I spent in store on them when they were on sale!
Thanks for the suggestions everyone!

I think the MINI cosleeper weight limit is something like 23 pounds. It's not as high as the regular cosleeper.

With that said, I did buy a mini cosleeper off of ebay for my 2nd baby and really liked it. Now I wish we had the regular size though because we're expecting twins.
