Newborn Rock ’n Play™ Sleeper
Soothe, nap or play!
What makes this seat perfect for newborns is that it’s extra deep with a structured insert that surrounds them in comfort and makes them feel secure. The seat is also inclined, which makes napping more comfortable for babies who need their heads elevated. And with help from mom, baby can rock the day away—soothe, nap or play! Other features include three-point restraint to keep baby secure, a toy for soothing & entertaining, and a washable insert for comfort and support. Plus it’s very lightweight, so it’s easy to move around the house.

Very Convenient
February 28, 2013
"I love this product. Our house doesn't have a lot of extra room so instead of a bassinet I opted for this. I loved it because my daughter was born in the winter, so it was very cold and you can't put blankets on a sleeping baby, but in this bassinet I was able to wrap her legs up and then buckle her in so there was no chance of suffocation, but she still stayed warm! She is now 4 months old, and she doesn't like it very much because she can't roll over (which I don't have a problem with because it scares me to death), but it is definitely a necessity for a newborn. Another plus, is there is no assembly and it easily folds for easy storage or to travel with. My only complaint is that in the stores in my area they didn't carry any "girl" colors so I had to get a plain, and pretty boring brown one. But that doesn't bother me."

Best Shower Gift
February 26, 2013
"I love my Rock N Play Sleeper. My son has slight Acid Reflux so this product was a life saver for us. Also, when we were displaced for 14 days from Sandy this is what my son slept in. It is comfortable, easy to take places, and it is the only way I can shower in the morning. I put him in this and he kicks his feet to rock himself and I get to shower...A win win for everyone. Best Shower Gift by far!"

Lifesaver
February 11, 2013
"Our daughter has slept in this at night since she was born. She has severe reflux and cannot sleep flat on her back. The incline on this is perfect, and she goes right to sleep in it. It has a headrest to make it comfy, and is contoured so baby isn't laying on a hard, flat surface (which could cause flat spots). I also love how portable it is. We move it all over the house with us, and plan to use it when we travel as long as she fits in it. Much more convenient than the pack n play for now!"

This is my pack and play
January 14, 2013
"Great sleeper, I love that its level with my bed so if my LO needs his pacifier in the middle of the night, or just wants to know I'm there. I don't have to get out of bed, or reach down.
The pattern is nicer than others I have seen and I like that there aren't any extra animal heads so I don't have to worry about dangers.
Easy to pack and bring to grandma's. Less of a hassle than a pack and play. 1, 2, 3, storage and off we go.
If you have a baby that likes to be swaddled and is getting to big to do so. This is great because once you tuck them in there snug as a bug and drift right off."

Smarter than a bouncer
January 4, 2013
"With our third child on the way we knew what we would need and what we would not need. We had to purchase new items because our little one was a few years younger than his siblings.
We knew we didnt want a bouncer like we had with our older two children because we never used it. So we picked up the Rock n' Play with the Duck and Bear pattern.
This item has saved us since day one! We love taking it with us on day trips also to family or friend's houses because it folds flat. So easy to use and our little guy loves to sit in it and that he is still able to look around and see things. I would totally purchase another one if this one fell apart. :)"

Very Worthy Investment
January 1, 2013
"This is one of the best investments we have made for our newborn daughter. She loves it! It is the only thing she will sleep in, mostly because she hates laying flat and the design of the seat is very soft and swaddles her for coziness. It is durable and we love the rocking feature. Portability is great, it folds up for easy transport with the click of two buttons. The side fabric is mesh for air flow to keep baby cool, and it also comes with a cute little toy for baby! Would definitely recommend, we got the yellow one in case we have a boy in the future but this item comes in various colors and designs which are all very cute."

A must have!!!
September 26, 2012
"I never write reviews but I had to write a review on the best baby product ever! I received the Rock n Play at my baby shower and I have expressed my gratitude to the giver several times!
The Rock n Play saved my life by allowing me to get a good night's sleep. I tried everything...swing, pillow, bassinet, etc. but this is the only thing that he would sleep in. My 7 week old has now transitioned from the co-sleeper to the Rock n Play next to the bed. It's the perfect height and my baby sleeps soundly and comfortably through the night on a slight incline.
It is convenient and portable which allows me to easily take it to daycare. When I picked him up today I noticed that another parent brought their Rock n Play for their little one as well. I guess good news travels fast. :-)
Put this on your registry or buy it yourself...just get it!!!
Suggestion: I would suggest adding soothing vibration."

Apparently the Best Shower Gift, Ever?!
September 12, 2012
"I got this for a friend for her baby shower and she absolutely LOVED it, while her daughter was able to fit in it. Every time I saw her, she did nothing but tell me how she couldn't live without it and how much her daughter loved to sleep in it. Since it was portable, she would take it everywhere and did not have to worry about the baby falling asleep. She is now pregnant with her second and already talking about using it again. Because she talked about it SO MUCH, I am now in the process of purchasing a third one, for yet another friend's baby shower. I have seen the product with my own eyes and it is very sturdy and stood up to many, many washes, as she would also feed her daughter in it. Apparently, it's the gift that keeps on giving!"

Best Baby product to buy!!!
September 9, 2012
"The Fisher Price Rock n Play sleeper is the BEST baby product out there! It is a must have for all new parents! I had two Rock n Play sleepers for my twin boys and they were a life saver!! The height of the sleeper is perfect to have next to your bed, chair or couch. It is nice that you baby is off of ground level especially if you have other children running around the house. With my twins I could hold one and have the other in the Rock n Play right next to me and use my foot to rock him. My boys slept in them for nights next to our bed and also in them for naps. They are so portable and nice to move from room to room and to take on trips. We used them until the twins were almost 6 months old. I have passed them on to friends to use who now too love them. Wish I would have had a Rock N Play Sleeper with my first child!"

Love it but one suggestion
September 4, 2012
"I received this as a gift from a professional nanny who said I couldn't live without it. She was right! My baby - now 8 weeks - has loved it since day one. She hangs out in this when I can't hold her and she seems very comfortable and often naps. We stayed in a hotel for a few days recently and brought this for her to sleep in - it was perfect because of its portability. My only suggestion is that I wish it had an attachment to hang toys over her head/in front of her. She is still too young to hold toys, but loves to look into mirrors or swat at things hanging from her mobile, gym mat, car seat, etc. She would love her Rock 'n Play even more if it had this option."

"When Emily was 7 weeks I wanted to move her to the crib, but she didn;t like it so I bought this sleeper. She slept for 7 hours on the first night and around 6 to 8 on the follow 8 weeks. When she was almost 16 weeks she was very big and started waking up on the middle of the night again and we finally moved her to the crib. She had naps on the sleeper funtil she was 22 weeks. It was worth the money for sure."

"We received this as a gift and love it! Our newborn sleeps in this whether its a nap or night time. We have a playard, crib, and swing and this is the only thing she will sleep in. We are so thankful we received it!! I only wish it had a motor so that it can rock on its own."

"We purchased this before our son was born because we are currently a little cramped for space and didn't want to purchase a crib yet! This item has been so helpful! It's great when we travel to my sister's. It fits easily in the trunk of the car or my SUV. I would recommend this over a bassinet any day!"

A lifesaver!!!!
July 30, 2012
"Just had my first baby, and couldn't get him to sleep flat on his back in his bassinet for more than 20 minutes without waking up fussy. He slept great in his carseat, but I had read that it is not safe to let newborns sleep in them. I went online and found this product, read the reviews, and immediately went out and bought one. It is a miracle!! My son slept the first night in it for a four hour stretch and has continued. He is content in it during the day awake as well. The angle is perfect, makes him feel snug, and you feel safe knowing this is approved to for them to sleep in. I will recommend this product to every new mom I know! Register or buy one today if you are expecting or have a newborn. Thank you reviewers and Fisher- Price!"

"Absolutely a lifesaver! The baby practically sleeps through the night with this. It is amazing! It is highly recommended. I don't know how I survived without this with my first two children. This is by far the best baby product that I own. Thank you Fisher-Price!"

Best Purchase evr
July 23, 2012
"I recommend for every family with a child on the way to register for one. I was recommended this product when my daughter was 8 weeks. She started sleeping through the night. She hated to be swaddled, and she was so cozy in this, we didn't have to swaddle her anymore. It is portable so we bring it everywhere. I have recommended it to several people and they use it instead of a bassinet and use it from the moment they bring the child home. It is so far, BY FAR, the best product we have used for our daughter yet. She is 5 1/2 months old now."

Lifesaver!!
June 16, 2012
"This product was a lifesaver for us when our 3 week old started having trouble sleeping at night. She would only sleep for 30 minutes and would wake up screaming. The only way she would sleep was we sat in the recliner with her. We found out she had acid reflux. I searched for a safe convenient way to prop her up at night and found this product. After reading all the good reviews on several websites we decided to give it a try. The first night she slept for 3-4 hours at a time. By 2 months she was sleeping 8-10 hours. It is very well constructed and sturdy. It has a rigid base with a soft cushiony cover for sleeping on. It's easy to take apart and wash and is easy to fold up. We just took this on vacation with us and it was so convenient to have in the hotel room. I would definitely recommend this product for any new mom especially for a baby that prefers to sit up when sleeping. It would have been nice to have for my two older kids especially when they were sick or suffering ear infections."

Best thing that ever happened to infant sleeping!
June 15, 2012
"This was the first purchase I made when I was expecting number 5. Little did we know she would be born premature, have severe heart problems and horrible reflux.
The Fisher Price Rock and Play Sleeper was a life saver. We were able to use it into her 8th month (she's little for her age and was premature.) and it certainly earned us MANY more hours of sleep than we would have gotten with her lying flat.
Even her home nurse was sincerely impressed and now recommends this to other parents of infants with problems.
We are currently expecting number 6 and plan to use it for him as well. It's priceless."

May 21, 2012
"My baby is 2&1/2 months old, and this has been a lifesaver! He sleeps better in this than anywhere else. I think it is because of the slight incline and how he is cradled in the pocket. We are trying to get him to only nap in this, and sleep in his bassinet, so he is used to sleeping flat when he gets too big and has to move into his crib, but we move him into the rock&play in the middle of most nights, when he won't go back to sleep in the bassinet."

Great Product!
May 2, 2012
"My daughter got this as a gift for my youngest grandson who was born prematurely. It made her feel a lot better to have him in it right next to her bed when he came home from hospital. It travels with him when he comes to stay with me. I would DEFINITELY recommend to everyone. I just wish it came in more colors. I will need to get two more for twins due in July and wanted 2 different "girlie" colors"
