my nuna aire will not fold up and easily as yours. the mat doesn't really fit around. is this an issue you've experienced? any tricks to getting it to wrap?
Hi Christi, when I made this video I had owned the Nuna for at least 18 months (if not a little more). I had the same problem but got the hang of it and did break it in lol. I use a wall to help me compress it all in and then wrap the mat around. By pressing against wall I feed in the Velcro straps and secure the tight wrap. Keep in mind, once your baby reaches 15 pounds or sits up (which ever comes first) you want to remove the bassinet. Without bassinet it’s a lot easier to fold.
Oh, one more thing. Just in case you’re not doing this, when you wrap the mat around the crib make sure you’re matching the sides (if that makes sense). On minute 6:13 you can see the wider side of how the mat folds. If you’ll like me to upload video on how I fold it please let me know.
Hi Cindy! Thank you for this video! I was wondering if you ever traveled on the plane with the Nuna Sena Aire? If so, did you just check it like a regular bag?
Hi Cindy ,thank you for sharing! I really like the idea of the mattress, And the size is perfect for the playard. where did you get it? Can you tell me the website? Thank you so much.
Hi Cindy, thanks for the details. I have a question. Me and my wife were scoping around, and it seems there are a lot of opinions online against using a travel crib as a permanent solution. I honestly don't really understand why, considering that the closing mechanism here is quite safe, so even if the kid is heavier, it could not close on itself because it folds upwards. Do you thing there are any downsides about this? or any other specific pitfall for using a travel cot instead of a regular one?
Hello Colin, thanks for reaching out. I have not experience any downsides of it folding upwards. I could say that eventually your toddler will want to sleep on a more comfortable mattress. My tot is 2 years old still uses it for naps and he sleeps in it at night but wakes up a little after midnight wanting to sleep in bed. That’s the only downside I can see…
@@cindyyareli Hey there. 1 year later, when did you transition to the bed? My kid has been great in it since we bought it, but she’s nearing 2 years and 3 months
Hey! My husband and I are thinking of getting this for our newborn. Is it safe to use this starting day 1? Is the bassinet function worth it? I just want to make sure its good for baby when he gets home from the hospital
Totally safe to use from baby’s birth! Bassinet helps the mattress be at higher level inside the cot. Make sure to remove bassinet when the infant begins to push up on hands and knees, or has reached 20 lb. Which ever comes first. I still use it till this day! Baby #2 is 2.5 yrs old and the cot is still holding strong!!! It’s his full time bed.
The whole crib? I have not kept up with recent updates for infants but per their website on this particular version, it’s sleep safe. My soon to be 3 yr old is still sleeping in it :) It holds up pretty good bc my oldest also used it up to 3 yrs old too. He’s now soon to be 5 yrs old. It’s never felt unsafe to me but if you’re not comfortable with it I’m sure there are other options that are great too :)
@cindyyareli. Hi Cindy :) This video was made a year ago and the price was $349.95. I'd like to purchase one for my tot too; I noticed the numbers has increased by $50 dollars. Can you recommend any stores that sells at this price?
Hi Nadia, I apologize for not replying to you sooner. Didn’t get notification…I honestly don’t remember. However, my now 5 month old baby is 15 lbs and he’s still sleeping on the bassinet. He has not learned to roll over yet. I personally will continue to use till that happens but the manual does say discontinue use of bassinet once baby reaches 15 pounds.
do you have an updated link for the mattress?

Same it was such a struggle to get it. My husband had to hold so I could fasten. Maybe hers is broken in. Brand new it was almost impossible. 🥴

@@daniellespencer2758 I replied on wrong thread lol. Please see my comments.

Hello! I have not! But I don’t see why you wouldn’t be able to ;) I’m sure you can check it in like a regular bag/luggage at the airport :)
Hi Cindy ,thank you for sharing! I really like the idea of the mattress, And the size is perfect for the playard. where did you get it? Can you tell me the website? Thank you so much.
Hello Hui, I purchased this one on the mattress firm website. Last I check it was discontinued :( I’m sorry.

I read this is not sleep safe once they outgrow the bassinet ?

Hello! I do not know any store. I’m sorry :(
Is there a way to clean the changing table ?
Yes! You just have to remove all the inserts. I’ve washed it in gentle before.
Hello! Is it the grey or champagne one? Thank you!
Hi Helena, this is the gray cot aka Granite.
@@cindyyareli Thank you!! And thank you for this video!
Is this safe for babies to sleep in if they bassinet part is removed?
Yes! Totally safe :) just don’t use the 3rd party mattress!
You mentioned you stopped using the bassinet at 5 months, around how many pounds was your baby by then?
Hi Nadia, I apologize for not replying to you sooner. Didn’t get notification…I honestly don’t remember. However, my now 5 month old baby is 15 lbs and he’s still sleeping on the bassinet.
