Well, you know... they DO make baby crates. It's not as if there's not a solution for bringing babies over to homes that aren't childproofed or have pets. It's just that she's either too stupid or lacks the foresight to plan ahead. Or she feels like her child deserves to roam free in its natural habit, feasting on a diet of bottlecaps and loose change from under the sofa. One of those.

Our twins are 7 weeks old and we use this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LZFK54W/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_c1bLAbXFY4JSS

It’s a bit pricey, but we got it as a gift from my parents for our baby shower. I like the portability of the bassinets, we have the pack and play in our bedroom but one of us will often take the bassinets to the living room until the twins are asleep to avoid waking up the other parent. Our babies sleep in them every night! However, we might only have one more month of use out of the bassinets before they are too small.

The changing pad attachment is so inconvenient that it’s basically useless, and one of the vibrating blocks doesn’t work very well on ours, but these are minor issues for us and I would still recommend it.

I'm also a FTM, so can't talk about my experience. But I did get paranoid about this and do a bunch of research and ask moms I trust. For me, I also wouldn't be comfortable with baby in the bed. I have decided on the Pack 'n Play Day2Night so we can use the bassinet portion beside our bed for the first few months, plus we'll have the changing table part. When he outgrows that, he can sleep in the actual play yard or a crib. We plan to get a crib that converts to a toddler bed and full-size so it will last a long time, but we know we will have at least a few months before we need to buy it.

I'm in favor of this.

Reports about the Valve VR demo rooms indicate that standing VR is pretty darn cool.

We've heard that the Valve VR demo setup was a "money is no object" endeavor and that to experience all of their demos take roughly a half an hour and yet in their environment there isn't a single demo where they make you sit or use an omni directional treadmill.

PrioVR, Zombies on the Holodeck, and Sh0v's latest project show that standing VR can be very cool. For those people who don't have the money to build or repurpose a room of their home for VR (e.g. likely most people)...

So, that said, what I'd like to see is the...

The Adult Sized Playpen for Standing VR.

Pick a reasonable size that will fit in most people's homes, say 2mx2m (give or take). Actual size might be restricted by length of Rift wires/cords (unless extensions are viable).

Make the sides of the playpen be high enough that most people could bump into it and not easily fall over it (about 1.25m?).

Make it mount to the wall so if you bump into one of the sides of the pen the whole thing doesn't slide across the floor or fall over.

To keep it light and hopefully lower costs make the sides be mostly empty space. Perhaps use a rail fence design using plastic (thick enough to allow an average person to back into it while attempting to repel the zombie horde). Or something like this scaled up and made more sturdy for adult usage.

One corner could have a gate-like latch to allow people in and out of the pen.

Make it collapsable to save space and for easier storage.

Make a less expensive version that utilize a wall or two of your home as the third/fourth walls?

Benefits:

  • Better VR experience (like Valve VR room).
  • Allows for safe standing VR.
  • In short: a clean, unobstructed, bounded area for safely experiencing VR.

    Problems:

  • Wires/Entanglement (no slip rings exist for video or USB afaik)
  • People will likely balk at making holes in their walls to secure the pen.
  • Initially no software to take advantage of "constrained area VR"
  • Software may need to accommodate different sized pens unless a standard size can be agreed upon.
  • Far too small for redirected walking.

    Concerns:

  • Not enough game narratives fit the available play space?

I recommend a good pack and play. A good one can be a crib for newborns & toddler, has a changing table, can be a toddler crib/playpen. Plus they fold up and travel very well.

Other than that, something that can soothe the baby is needed for your sanity. A swing or chair that vibrates should do the trick.

I was thinking about this one. Yard for downstairs, bassinet for in our bedroom.

u/wuselfuzz · 1 pointr/Rabbits

In Germany, I got them from Amazon. They were not called X-Pens, but it's the same.

I don't know any spanish, so I can't search there. =)

We have a plastic one from Friendly Toys... more expensive than what you listed but they're durable. We used it inside for awhile, and then "unfolded" it, put it against the railing and wall of our back porch and used it as a baby gate to block the stairs off. I did end up changing the layout of the sections, but here is a pic of what it looked like when we first set it up.

They also sell an expansion kit for it: http://www.amazon.com/Friendly-Toys-Little-Playzone-Extension/dp/B005LGYBSU/

Best:

  • Rock N Play - we have this on the main floor of our house and its where my son takes his naps during the day (when he's not sleeping on me)

  • Pack N Play (with bassinet and changing table) - we have this Chicco Pack N Play set up in our master bedroom, where my son sleeps at night. The organizing caddies that attach to the side are super handy for storing diapers, swaddles, and a change of clothes for the middle of the night.

  • Diaper Pail - We have two of the Diaper Dekor Classics, one upstairs and one downstairs. Our house is pretty small, so I love the small footprint of these bins.

  • Boppy - Now that my son is a little over 3 weeks old and can quickly and easily latch in a number of different holds this is less important, but it was super helpful for the first few weeks.

  • Burp cloths - we keep one in every room of the house! I love the Burt's Bees burp cloths. I'd recommend having at least 10-15.

  • Muslin swaddle blankets - I'm obsessed with the Little Unicorn swaddles because they're big, breathable and have such cool designs (but also very expensive at $16/each). I'd recommend having at least 3-4 blankets.

  • Hooded bath towels and small washcloths - Perfect for keeping baby warm and dry after a bath.

    Worst:

  • Ergo Natural Curve Nursing Pillow - This pillow is way too stiff/hard. I hate it and never use it.

  • Socks - My son has worn socks exactly 2 times in the last 3 weeks. Since he's almost always covered in a blanket, they're super unnecessary for newborns.

We got the Ingenuity washable playard. It's been a workhorse for us- we used the changer for ages when she was a newborn, and even though she never took to the bassinet attachment (but she didn't sleep anywhere, so I wouldn't take that as a bad review), I'm looking forward to busting it out for #2 in a few months.

We even used it as a temporary crib for a few months while we were in the process of moving, and it held up well.

I like the fact that you can unzip the fabric and throw it in the washer!
