To be honest & this is just my opinion, when we first have bubs we get caught up in all the "extra bits" & later think "we didn't really need that". I would just go with what you can afford, they are great for going away, but you can always change bubs on the bed, table & by the time they start moving prob easier on the floor. Ours does have the different levels, we got it from target on sale for only $80 & has been great, has a fly cover also. That part is good as we've used it when outside etc.
