sweetpea555 says "Great for traveling " about Graco Pack 'N Play Portable Playard

This is a must have if you travel. Once it's set up, it is stable and very easy to use. I like the fact that it has a little diaper changing table that attaches to the top. That was very helpful when we were traveling. As my daughter got older, the diaper changing table comes off but we could still put it on the floor to use. That was so much better than a small little changing pad or using a towel or something. I like the fact that it came with a mobile, my daughter sometimes would wake up startled and wouldn't know where she was but would instantly calm down when she saw the familiar mobile, which had bland little bear like animals on it so I attached a more colorful toy to it too. The music and light attachment was also nice in helping to make my daughter feel safe when we were somewhere new. At first, this was a tricky thing to set up and a bit frustrating the first few times but we got the hang of it. The travel carrying bag is a bit tight and it's easy to put the...

CorysBethers says "Great product for the money!" about Graco Pack 'N Play Portable Playard

My husband and I bought this before our daughter was born. We used it instead of a bassinet. We felt that it would be more secure for our little one.

I loved it from the beginning. It was big enough to get the job done but wasn't huge. I really loved the changing table that attached to the top. It was perfect and easy to use. There was enough room under the changing table attachment to store diapers and wipes while still leaving plenty of room for baby on the other end.

It wasn't as fancy as some of the other Pack N Plays that we looked at, but it got the job done and saved us money. It doesn't have all of the fancy frills as some of other ones, but it was just what we needed. It's also easy to put up, break down, and store.

We used it when our daughter was older as well. She spent many happy hours playing in the Pack N Play and she even used it to strengthen her legs by holding onto the sides and walking around the "yard."

We loved this and will definitely use...

mommyHope says "Nice play place for "sitters" or crawlers" about Graco Pack 'N Play Portable Playard

mommyHope — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 03:47:27 GMT

I probobly wouldn't buy a pack'n play, but we got one as a gift and it serves us pretty well. We keep it in our "office" room, so whenever I'm there, I can have my baby playing in it, she just started sitting on her own, and she rolls alot. It's soft for when she falls over or rolls and she is safe from anything else, including her 2 year old sister. We didn't use it much as a bed and changing table since I was used to changing them on the bed, and they would only sleep in their own bed. But this would be a good extra bed for a baby or toddler too, if they don't mind sleeping in something other than they sleep in. I also like that all the toys that I put in there, they stay there, therefore the room is easier to keep cleen. The net allows me to see the baby clearly. The playpen also folds up easily for transport/ travel or for storage. It's also easy to move around, as it has two wheels. Also I kinda like the little music thing it has, with lights.

Stoshy03 says "Very useful in and outside of the house!" about Graco Pack 'N Play Portable Playard

Stoshy03 — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 19:32:56 GMT

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 and contains a night light. There is a mobile for him to look at for entertainment. There is also a changing table that can be attached for when we are using the product outside of the house and may not have access to a good diaper changing area. It even has a little area for storing diapers and wipes! This part doesn't fit in the travel bag, so if I had to come up with a con, it would be that. But...

cmyamamo says "a great item to have" about Graco Pack 'N Play Portable Playard

cmyamamo — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 23:47:05 GMT

I was fortunate enough to be able to use my sister's pack n play when my daughter was born. We loved it. It had a changing area, wipes holder, the whole nine yards. Instead of a bassinett she slept in the bassinett portion of the pack n play. It worked great.

Then my sister had another child and we had to give it back. I opted to buy a used Evenflo pack n play thinking they were all the same. Boy was I wrong. It was a night and day difference. I promptly sold it and bought another Graco pack n play.

Here's the thing about the Graco pack n play. It works like it is supposed to. Even the ones without all the extras works great. You don't have to buy the top of the line one. The simple version works just as well. It's nice to have a place to put the diapes and wipes, but not necessary. Plus your baby won't be small enough to fit on the changing area/bassinett attachment for that long.

soccermomlynnette says "Graco pack and play is a must have for parents on the go." about Graco Pack 'N Play Portable Playard

soccermomlynnette — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 03:36:14 GMT

Graco pack and play portable crib is a must have for busy parents of babies/toddlers on the go.

First off this comes in many colors/themes. Mine happens to be dark blue with cute elephants on it.

It folds up neatly and easily and the padding on the bottom doubles as a reinforcement around it when it is packed up. (It has one hard side and one padded) When putting it together, you take the padding off, snap each of the 4 sides up, push the center down and then put the padding, hard side down inside and it is ready for your baby/toddler.

Taking it down and packing it up is just as easy. You take the padding out. There is one button for each side. You press them one at a time and pull up on the center and it folds right up. You then place it on the padding, and the padding folds up and has velcro to hold it together. This is then placed in a "bag" of sorts, and there is a hole where there is a handle inside to make it easy to carry. It is very easy and convenient. The only draw back is that...

snookumsnort says "Practical and durable - Graco Pack N Play" about Graco Pack 'N Play Portable Playard

snookumsnort — Sat, 24 Oct 2009 03:56:54 GMT

We have 3 children and all of them used the same Graco Pack 'N Play Portable Playard (specifically the one with a Bassinet). The price is very reasonable especially if you get a lot of use from it. When my first child was really small, the size of a crib would overwhelm her and she would feel more comfortable using the Pack N Play bassinet to sleep in. The product is fantastic since it's versatile as sort of a baby "cot" and as a playpen when the children get bigger. It comes with a toy bar that the babies would find interesting at first but not for long because it doesn't really do much. The Pack N Play is easy to set up. Although after years of use, it can take a while to lock the bars when setting them up. The mat is a standard mat too that you can easily find covers for. It can be heavy to lug around but it is portable nonetheless. When the children get bigger, I think the limit for the bassinet is 30lbs, the bassinet can be removed and the pack n play can be used...

teenymarie says "Graco Pack N Play is great" about Graco Pack 'N Play Portable Playard

teenymarie — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 15:11:04 GMT

The portable Graco Pack N Play is great. My daughter takes naps in it every day but it is still super easy and simple to pack up and take with us when we go somewhere. The bassinet was great for when she was a newborn, it was alot easier to lay her down and get her out and not have to lean all the way over and risk waking her up. Then the bassinet just easily removes once they are too big to sleep in it. It comes with a bag that you can use to carry it once its folded up and helps keep it clean. Its very easy to set up and take down, theres a push button that collapses it. It is pretty heavy for me to carry when its all folded up, but when its open it has wheels on the bottom that makes it easy to use. It does fold down to a pretty small size, so its easy to take somewhere and not worry about how much room its going to take with. Very easy to travel with. The one down side is theres not much padding for the baby to sleep on.

These playards are the best! They're easy to break down and tote around, but I never worry that they're going to collaps while baby plays in it. It has a great easy to clean surface in case baby decides to make a mess. They're affordable and LAST!

doodlebug674 says "Great portable crib" about Graco Pack 'N Play Portable Playard

doodlebug674 — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 22:14:28 GMT

I had put this on my registry before our son was born and we weren't honestly sure if we would even use one. Boy was I wrong! We have used it for naps, as a place I could safely put our son while I was cleaning or even showering. I would leave the door open and put it right by the bathroom door so I could poke my head out and keep my eyes on him. After opening it and taking it out of the box I quickly found out how easy this thing was for my to open and close so we could store it later when we weren't using it. It also came in very handy when we would visit relatives..again a safe place for our son to nap and to sleep at night. I liked the cushion that it came with and I was able to buy a pack and play sheet for it as well. My son has grown out of it but it is still around for when I babysit. I can defintely say that I have gotten its use out it and then some. Great product to have for a baby then a toddler.

snakan0 says "Who says this can't be a crib?" about Graco Pack 'N Play Portable Playard

snakan0 — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 21:56:39 GMT

The Graco Pack 'N Play Portable Playard is great because it's collapsable so we can take it with us on vacations. It took a little while to figure out how to collapse it and fit it back into the bag, but after we learned, it is easy enough. It is a little difficult to fit it back into the bag though. It is also convenient as it has a diaper changing table on top that is removable. When you don't have a lot of space, this definitely helps out. You also can't beat the price since you don't have to buy a separate changing table or a separate travel crib and play yard. It's nice that it is soft so you don't have to worry about your baby getting hurt. Even though the mattress isn't washable, I have found little fitted sheets to use, which are definitely handy. The vibrating and light feature don't work anymore, so I don't really have much to comment about those features. It also has wheels to make it easier to move around.

SpokaneMan says "This Graco Pack n Play Has Been Easy to Use." about Graco Pack 'N Play Portable Playard

SpokaneMan — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 22:40:48 GMT

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 using the wheels on one end. The portability is the big selling point for this Playard, but it serves multiple functions at the same time.

This Graco child's tool is designed to be a bed, a playpen, and a changing table all rolled into one. The baby can sleep in the bassinet, play in the bottom of the Playard, and get changed on the fold out changer attached to one side of the Pack 'n...

I purchased a Graco Pack n Play for my daughter when she was born. The Pack n Play come in many colors for boys, girls or unisex. The one I have is pink and grey plaid. This pack n play is full size so there is a lot of room for baby. My 2 year old daughter and my 15month onl niece can both play and sleep in it together comfotably. The pack n play that I purchased came with the bassinet attachment, a changing table, a mobile, a storage area and a sound/music/light box all I paid for it was $90! The bassinet attachment is full size, secures with velcro and holds up to 15lbs. The changing table can be wiped clean and holds up to 20lbs. The mobile has 3 soft plush bears. The storage attachment has 3 compartments that can hold lotion, diaper rash cream, travel size wipes ect. Then the sound/music/light box has 3 different light settings, plays nature sounds or soothing music. You can set the timer for 10, 15 or 20 minutes. The pack and play is easy to fold up as long as you read the instructions...

xoashley1623 — Fri, 04 Sep 2009 16:06:04 GMT

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 and i am going through online colllege. It has become my best friend, i can put him in it while i study and he loves to play and just entertain himself. It is also a plus that he is safer in it then let him crawl around when he doesn't have my full attention. I also like the colors they come in it is neutral so it goes with any room decor. It comes down just as easy and the package makes...

burkeyc says "The Graco Pack and Play is a great, safe place for your infant!" about Graco Pack 'N Play Portable Playard

I work at a daycare and we take care of infants from the age of 2 months to 18 months. Some of the older infants are learning to walk, run, throw toys and knock down building blocks. For younger infants, the Graco Play Pen is an excellent and safe place for the small and helpless little ones. I have one at home and we have two at the daycare. I highly recommend them to anyone who has little children.
