How padded is the bottom of this? Is it padded enough to allow for the baby to sleep comfortably for extended periods of time?

It's padded enough for a baby to sleep comfortably. Extended period of time? Maybe for a nap but not overnight, unattended. It that's what you're looking for then you might want to buy a bassinet.

Hi, Its not much padded but we can use blanket or some support and kids love this.

It's not super padded on the head but most of the bassinets I looked at weren't either. I used a yellow foam bath pad on the head area to add softness--the type you use to keep babies from slipping in the bath but I also didn't use this rocker until he was a couple of months old and had head control to move. If you're looking for something for a newborn, I'd recommend the FP Rock n' Play Snugglebunny. It's ideal for newborns and very soft. We used this Portable Rocker after he outgrew the snugglebunny since it's larger with a higher weight limit.

Barely padded. But that did not stop my daughter from being comfy. We cushioned her with blankets in the beginning and because you can change levels of recline, she seemed super comfy. Maybe it was the vibrations? She still ges and sits in it at 15 mo

The bottom does not have a thick padding, but as it is hanging (and not supported on a hard surface), I felt it was comfortable and my baby used to love this when she was little. However, I do not think it is good for extended time, I used it only for short naps. One big drawback I see for this is that the cloth is NOT washable (or I have not figured out it yet).

It's okay for a night, for longer you might want a mattress pad. It is a great spare mattress! It's our second one and I would definitely buy a third!

I wouldn't recommend this for long term use for overnight sleeping. But my daughter did utilize it once while traveling and she was fine. It was about 1/2 inch thick I would say. She definitely slept in it a lot as an infant while shopping and such. I hope this helped!

It's not padded at all. But we've gate checked with it multiple times, no issues.

No, it is not padded. We have used ours over twenty times at restaurants, stores, etc. It has worked well, especially now that my son is almost a year. When he first started riding in a cart around 7-8 months, I really wished it had some padding. Not a big deal now.

I secure it around a back pad and it doubles the back padding while staying in place on the bottom. Don't expect cushy comfort for all day. When I go out for 4 hours, I am comfortable. Longer than that and I just don't think my body is built to stay in one position for that long.

Yes it is nicely padded. My husband found the seat to be very comfortable to sit on.

It is safe and comfortable for the baby to sleep on the bottom. I'm 5' tall and I just had a bit of a problem reaching the bottom...not much, but a little. My back is in pretty good shape so it didn't hurt my back, that will depend on you. Sorry I can't be more specific. Hope you love the pack n play!

It has padding all over the bottom and sides too, just not the top. You could use the pillow for cushioned support. I love this cover and am using it with my second baby now. I think I started my first one at 6m too. You can strap him in for more stability.

No it really doesn't have a lot of padding....It is ok to sit on for awhile, but I don't think it would be comfortable to sleep on. I have it in a family room.....it is ok to sit and watch tv for a bit, but I wouldn't say it is comfortable enough to be a bed!

It's padded very nicely. I weigh 140 to 150 and it's great for me. It's about 2 inches thick.

I never owned a bouncer, Fisher Price or otherwise, but the back has the firmness of a cardboard like sheet, with a layer of batting under a cloth. So it's not really deeply padded, but comfortable for my 18month old. She LOVES it.

Yes, the seat and sides are padded. Our granddaughter is very comfortable in it.

I think it is padded enough- all my floors are wood as well. My 4 month old has begun to roll and squirm beyond the mat though, so now I put a large old quilt under so he's not kicking and playing on the hard wood

It reclines enough for naps, my baby sleep wells in this, it's very light, I used with both of my 2 yr old and 9 months.

@Christina: Yes - this seat is padded. My daughter loves it. She has been riding her Strider since she was 2 yrs old and is still riding it over 2 yrs later (along with her "pedal bike"). The extended seat really gave it a lot of extra use.
