2 babies in pack n play bassinet, maximum weight of 15lbs? What did u do?

Hey everyone,
Our first daughter slept in a pack n play in the bassinet part in our room for the first 6 mo or so. I had planned on the twins doing the same, sharing 1 pack n play bassinet so they can sleep together, but I was looking at them, and it looks like all of them have a 15 lb weight limit??? Does that seem right to everyone? If so what did ya'll do? Where did yours sleep at first? I mean I guess I can put a crib in our room, but I really didn't want to go that if possible. Thoughts?

hhmmm... if the weight limit is 15 lbs, we went WAY over it. They stayed together in the pnp until they didn't fit and then moved into a crib in our room.

 

Yeah, I definitely went over that with my twins and my fatty singleton! The twins only slept in it for the first couple months, then went to a crib in their room. But even at birth, combined they were 15 pounds. My singleton (Mr. Chunky Bottom) was in the pack n' play until he was about 6 months old and was definitely over 15 pounds by then! They all used the same pack n' play, too.

 

I went with the arms reach co-sleeper so I could maximize the amount of time I could use it. The classic version has a higher limit and is actually listed as being large enough for twins. I have the girls in their cribs now but if they wake up in the middle of the night, I put them back down in the co-sleeper so that I don't have to get up again. By 6:30 am they are normally both there, contentedly sucking on their thumbs (or each others' thumbs!).

 

The twins are still in their pnp and they're over 16 lbs combined weight and still doing fine.

 

In the basinette part? I wouldn't chance it. Those scare me. In the bottom of the PNP, sure.

We had an arms reach cosleeper that we used. Best thing about it, it rolled around way easier than the PNP did. Roll it into the bedroom, roll it into the living room, roll it outside of the bathroom, to the kitchen, to the hallway, just zoom and go.

 

We just lowered them to the bottom of the pnp once they exceeded the weight limit and it was still pretty convenient next to the bed.

 

becasquared- Did u have the mini or the regular co-sleeper? I am asking because u said u rolled it around and I c the mini has wheels, but not the full size. If u had the mini, how long where both of them able to sleep in it, since it's smaller than the full size? Thanks!

The 15 lb limit is for the bassinet portion. So 15 lbs total of baby on top. We did go over that a bit, but they were probably close to three months old.

Once they hit that limit, we lowered the mattress thing to the bottom and they slept there. I mainly used the pnp after that when they were a bit older actually.
