Pack & Plays are basically travel cribs- google 80's play pens.  They were big! I wonder why they fell out of favor?

This is basically a play pen. When and why did we get rid of play pens? I never understood why those became passé. Sometimes you need your kid to be safe and occupied with toys while you get some shit done, ya know?

Thora Birch was my first thought. What a great talent lost due to a douchebag stage parent.
