Our home has a crib, which can be folded down and moved to your room of choice, and our shared bathroom that has a shower tub combo has a handheld shower head to make bath time a little easier for parents. Outside is a swingset playhouse on our grassy area, with line of sight for grownups from both the dining area and fire pit.
