I'm on my 33rd week now. And still we don't have any crib yet. We are eyeing the GRACO Contour Electra. Any of you have tried the said crib? Please. I need suggestions. :) Thanks

My husband and I got one as a gift when our daughter was born two years ago, and I absolutely loved it. My daughter slept exclusively in it until she was about three months old, when we moved into a new place and finally had enough room to assemble her full-sized crib. I kept using the Pack 'n Play (what they're called here in the U.S.) as a playpen up until she started walking. Now that she's two, I leave it at my parents' house and we only use it for naps and at night when we're visiting them. Overall, I'm really happy with the quality of it. It was easy to assemble, and once it's put together getting it set up or taken down is really easy. I can do either in roughly a minute or two. If you use it as your main crib, you will want to get a waterproof sheet or pad to put over the cot since it's tough to clean. That's really the only complaint I have ever had about it. The changing table was very convenient on ours, but it didn't come with a bassinet. Some of the other features I've seen mentioned in reviews of the Contour Electra weren't included with ours, either. One of the reviewers says it plays music... if that is anything like the feature that came on our Graco swing, it's wonderful. I can't tell you how many times I used the white noise setting on that swing to help put my daughter to sleep, but it certainly worked like a charm! The one thing that I would say about it now is that the cot doesn't seem very comfortable now that my daughter's two. I usually give her a folded comforter and a small pillow these days. They do advise against doing that, but I've had no problems with her getting tangled in the blanket since I always make sure to wrap the edges around the Pack 'n Play cot to secure it.
