Hi,
I'm shopping for a Graco pack n play and was considering this basic model at BRU: http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2786140&CAWELAID=107527954
Then, I saw this one on sale for the same price: http://www.albeebaby.com/grpanplpl94i1.html
The second one obviously has the changer and the mobile, which the first doesn't, but those features are optional for us. However, the description for the second one also says it has a quilted mattress pad and quilted bumper.
So, I'm wondering:
Is this quilted bumper on the second model attached permanently? How well is it attached? Or is it removable? I know there are some concerns about using crib bumpers, but have no idea if this is at all the same scenario.
Secondly, does the quilted mattress pad make a difference? The bassinet on the basic model pretty much feels like cardboard. Or have you used something to add more padding to the basic model's bassinet?
I'm tempted to get the second model although I'm a little hesitant to order something online that I haven't seen in person. I'd appreciate any thoughts from people who have used these products. Thanks so much!
