Is a used rock and play a bad idea?

letranger

We need a downstairs sleeping place/throw them down spot. I was thinking rock and play and thought about buying a used one. Thoughts?

I would think used is fine.  I would certainly want to see it put together so I could test the sturdiness and check to make sure the cover wasn't torn/stained.  And make sure it came from a smoke-free home.

And just make sure to scrub it down.  Some of them have been recalled due to mold issues.

I hope not, because amynumbers has graciously offered me hers, since her gigantor baby will have long outgrown it when #3 comes around

Ditto..my sister and a friend have given us swings, vibrating seats, play yards, etc and I took them all.

You might be getting it complete with baby if I can't get him in the damn crib come July!

I would use a used one, in fact I've thought about getting one for when #3 happens. I bought a bouncy seat at a sale - practically brand new.

I'm going to check consignment shops. Although the mold thing makes me a little nervous now that I googled it.

We have a RnP if you want to use it and not buy one.  I would just need to see if my friend who is currently borrowing it is done with it.  Her kid is 6 months old so I assume so.  I have no idea about mold and I obviously haven't seen it post friend, but I can't imagine it's in bad shape.

I just checked with my friend and she is done with it.  I will get up to her house and pick it up sometime soon and we'll figure out how to get it to you.

Didn't the mold thing have to do with people just not washing it? Our cover comes off to wash it, so I see no reason why you couldnt borrow someone's.

 Ours has been a godsend b/c Graeme has severe reflux!
