Kohls Deal - Bjorn travel crib $173 - $30 Kohls Cash (Kohls Card only)

[lowrioh]

If anyone is looking for the Bjorn Travel crib this is a really good deal for Kohls Card holders.
Price is $248 and you get 30% off with the code SEPTEMBER30. You will also earn $30 in Kohls Cash and you can go through Ebates or Mr Rebates for an additional 2-3% cash back. So grand total with everything would be ~$140 + tax....free shipping too.
We LOVE ours and I know there are a bunch of fans on BB.

do you like this better than a pack n play? how compact does it fold up (similar to PNP or bigger)? i know this is a really good deal but it's quite a bit more than your basic PNP costs so before i talk to DH about this i'd like to know more :) thanks

It has pros and cons compared to the PnP. It folds down into a flat rectangle (think thin suitcase) rather than a regular box type shape. We have both because our DD outgrew the PnP before she was ready to move to a regular bed. With the Bjorn, the base for the mattress rests on the ground where the PnP has a raised floor. The Bjorn's sides also slightly tilt in making it more difficult for the LOs to climb out.

Pros-
MUCH lighter
No weight limit and larger sleep area - this is why we bought ours
Couldn't be easier to set up
High resale value if you want to sell when you are done with it.

Cons-
No bassinet or changing table option
More $$$

I have one also - - since it came out and LOVE it. Especially because it's so much lighter than the pack n play - easier to travel with. My 3 year still sleeps in it when we're away - though it's getting a little small for him! IF you plan on having several kids - i would say CERTAINLY worth the cost!!!! (and I paid around $200-200 2 years ago!) This is one of my favorite purchases along iwth the Bjorn Babysitter bouncy chair.
