My mother-in-law spared no opportunity to laud the wondrous and all mighty playpen. Yes, itโs useful when traveling or when you just canโt chase after your wee one any longer. But she relied on it so much with my husband, Iโm surprised he doesnโt have a permanent mesh imprint on his face.
Now when she suggests it for baby #3, I can tell her to go toโฆ Wagamama Baby. Translation: Spoiled rotten, in Japanese..
Granted, this absolutely gorgeous, soft mat called a zabu is not entirely a playpen alternative, unless youโve got a wee tiny one that doesnโt really go anywhere just yet. But insert it in a playpen or hotel crib and flip up the sides to create a luxe (and clean!) mattress/crib bumper combo. In other words, youโve just turned the equivalent of a camp cot mattress and turned it into a top-of-the-line Serta.
The coordinating strap and easy roll-up make it a perfect travel companion, especially for sleepover at the grandparentsโ place. And the numerous fabric choices include two eco-friendly bamboo-blend options.
At least youโll know that if the MIL is going to stick them in the playpen, theyโre going to enjoy every last minute of it. โKristen
Congrats to Nicole S, who won a Large Kayden Baby Zabu!
