Graco Pack 'N Play Portable Playard Reviews

My parents purchased a Graco Pack 'n Play Playard with Bassinet & Changer that we are able to use when we are visiting their house.  It has really come in handy, and it turned out to be a great place for our baby daughter to sleep and hang out.  The Pack 'n Play is designed so that you can travel with it, but it is also a great devise if you are planning on moving around within the same house frequently.  In this instance, the Graco Pack 'n Play doubles as a crib to sleep in at night (with the bassinet assembly) so by being portable, it can be moved upstairs or downstairs and rolled around easily...

The Graco Pack 'N Play Portable Playard is more than just a safe place for baby to play.  It's has storage, a bassinet for newborns, a mobile and a the padding is thick enough at the bottom to lay toddlers down for naps.

I use mine daily for all of the above reasons.  This is definitely a MUST HAVE for parents of infants/toddlers!

As a first time mother, I was happy to learn that this bassinett was very easy to set up and take down, and met my needs for my baby.

On one side of the unit there is a diaper station for changing. This was very convenient during the night for me, as we had the baby in the bassinett next to our bed. Some models have a tray attachment at the end with mesh "cup holder" type areas for holding diapers, ointment, wipes, etc. Other models have a snap on diaper caddy that hung on the end.

The unit was wide enough that I could easily lay the baby "width-wise" instead of lenghtwise on the bed when we first...

As a young new parent its scary when you first start out. You kind of just do a lot of what everyone else says and take their advice until you make the transition. When we got it out to sit it up we thought it would be hard or complicated, but it went right up and locked in place. I really enjoyed that it came with some different things for newborn until he grows out of the playpen. It has a changing table insert and a bed thing that sits half way down in the pack-n-play. It even came with an insert for the side to keep things in, it made it so much easier and practical. Now that my son is older...

I bought my Graco Pack 'N Play for my twin girls. We purchased the model with the bassinet, changing table and mobile. I found that the Pack 'N Play was VERY easy to use. It takes a mere 2 minutes to set it up or to take it down. We use it when we travel or are at a friends house. Once the girls were too big to share the Pack 'N Play, I purchased another brand that was used as our second unit. WOW, do I regret that! The other brand is hard to use! I have told everybody that I should have purchased another Graco Pack 'N Play.

The only caution that I would give is to really think about how you are...

I have this pack-n-play in the "Kira" pattern.  It is very handy, I keep it in the living room.  It makes it easy to change diapers, put the baby down for a nap and to store baby necessities conveniently without having to run upstairs every time a diaper change is needed. 

There is an organizer that attaches to the end with 3 compartments, a little musical attachment that you can hang on any side (plays different songs and sounds, also has a nightlight), bassinet, and mobile.  One end of the pack-n-play has wheels for easy movement.

The one downfall to this is the mobile that comes on it does...

This is a must have for our family! We had this product with our first child and she used it for naps when she was a baby, then it was easily transformed into a playpen when she got a little older. We brought it along on two vacations and were able to set it up right in our hotel room as a bed for her.

Now that we have our son, we need it more than ever. We are a family of four living in a two bedroom condo. Since we do not have a separate room for him, he sleeps in the living room in the pack and play. The bed part is very durable, yet comfortable for him. It has a device that plays soft music...
