DD will be 3.5 when DD2 is born in July, and as DD loves to be outside (and is a 10x better behaved kid outside!) I anticipate spending lots of time outdoors the the infant, too. I thankfully have plenty of options for shade, but I'm considering what would work best to place the baby in. I've also seen the Rock n' play love over the years on this forum, and while I have a swing and a friend just gifted me another swing/rocker type thing (Rockaroo?) neither is conducive to just grabbing quickly and easily to bring outside. Do you think a Rock n' play would work well as an "outdoor" seat for the baby? (Not the keep outside, just for while we're out there). For those w/ dogs....did you ever have concerns your dog would knock it over? It doesn't seem super sturdy when I've looked at the store.... TIA!
ETA: I just realized there's version out there now that auto-rock (plugging them in) -- obviously that part wouldn't be for outside..but if you were getting one, would you spring for that feature? I've never seen it mentioned on here....I'm leaning towards not worth it, but wondering if anyone has firsthand experience....
