Pck N Play - which one?

I know I want to register for a Pack N Play. Now, should I get the twin one or the single? Originally, I wanted to have it so the twins could sleep in our room, but I hate that the twin one has 2 separate bassinets. I would rather they sleep together. So I'll probably just have them in a crib. So, is it still worth it to get the twin one?

 

Another thread I am on asked this same question. It's not worth it to get the twin PNP. They say in all the reviews I have read that it's a pain to take the 2 bassinets off when you want to take it somewhere. Plus they say the bottom part is bigger but it's stated only for 1 child to use at a time. Most on the other thread said to get 2 PNP because the kids won't be able to stay together forever

 

FYI the Pack N' Play weight limit in the bassinet position is only 15lbs I believe - so it won't last very long for twins. We got the Arm's reach Original co-sleeper (you can use it as a pack n' play and a bassinet) and the weight limit is 30lbs. We bought ours from Wal-Mart online (the stores in our area didn't carry them) and they'll ship it to the store for free and you can just pick it up.

 

Since the PNP's bassinet has a weight limit of 15 pounds, it is not a great solution to the whole newborn sleep dilemma.

We bought the least expensive Graco PNPs which worked well for travel, trips to grandmas, etc. When they were newborns, we considered two options: 1) The arm's reach co-sleeper, or 2) Two bassinets. We opted for two bassinets since we have a small room. It worked perfectly as we were able to put one baby on each side of the bed. And that way, DH and I could each be in charge of a baby each night. It worked perfectly for that first month (we borrowed the bassinets). After that, we moved them together to a crib that they shared.

The co-sleeper can be an expensive investment. But if you are dedicated to keeping them together in your room for an extended period of time, it might be the best alternative.

 

Thanks! Good to know the cosleeper converts to a play yard!
