new parent's ... beach baby shelter ?

[lynetteSC]

Ok, I have odd questions! I saw a thing that you put your baby in and then it has netting that can zip up over it and a shade to protect the baby from the sun. It is not really a tent, because it is more like a small playpen type thing! UGH! I can't find one anywhere and I would love togetone for our trip to the beach soon. The one I saw was purchased at a yard sale, so she is not sure where it came from. I have looked all over online and in area stores ... even Ebay. Anyone know what this is called and where I could find one? Thanks for advice!

I just saw it in a catalog...maybe New Step or New Stage? If I can find it, I'll post a link.

This one's more like the one I saw, although I'd trust the one from Graco more....

This was all I could find. Was there a name brand?

onestepahead.com has tons of stuff for babies and toddlers. This one is their infant cabana which looks like a pup tent:

One Step Ahead! Thank you....it was driving me batty!

Thanks guys! The one I saw was a Fisher-Price (I think .. lack of sleep = bad memory!). I looked online at Fisher-Price and couldn't find anything like it. It was really more like a bassinet/sleeper type thing! You could lay the baby inside to sleep or play and not even use the cover if you didn't need it.
I didn't even think about one step ahead! I like that one! Thanks again for your help!!!!

I had something like that when DD was little. It was Fisher Price and it featured the "bug" design. I used it in my house when I was in the shower. The bathroom wasn't big enough to bring in the baby and I was afraid the cats would smother her if I left her alone. So I put her in and zipped it up.

Now she's 4 and being smothered by the cats is the least of my worries. Oh the things I fretted about as a new mother.

I had the Fisher Price model and it was awesome! Its a bouncer with netting and a canopy over it. Totally hard to describe but mine had a bug design too.

castlegazer - was this a long time ago? it sounds exactly like what I was trying to describe! Thanks!

lynette - if it is the same thing I had, there was a recall because the bottom padding was coming lose. They sent me a repair kit. If you find one, and pleae tell your friend, make sure they check Fisher Price for the repair kit.
