 Not that great Jan 18, 2011
By AnimalBabe
I'm not sure why this item got such good reviews. I read them before purchase and it looked like it would be a nice pack n play and a good deal; however, these are the problems I have encountered over the past 5 months with this item:
1. The changing station tilted from Day 1! Our baby was born close to 9 lbs, but even when he lost weight during the first week it still slanted to the side and he would scream when we would use it to change his diaper. I just took it off and changed him on the top bassinet part but wow does that do a number on your back! I searched and searched for an older type pack n play like the Graco one my sister has, in which all 4 corners of the changing station hook onto the top of the pack n play, but them seem to only be making this kind now that is supported from only one side. Not very smart!
2. It's very heavy (at least for me) to transport. They might all be this heavy though.
3. The mattress part that folds up never unfolded very well, so when I put a fitted sheet onto it, it still bunched up on one side. Now that our son is rolling onto his belly to sleep I feel uncomfortable using it for him to sleep in at night because of this issue.
What I like:
1. It is pretty easy to assemble and disassemble for transport and it ALL fits into the bag. You just have to figure out how the first time and then it's simple.
2. I liked the toy bar (I took off the dumb stars) because I could add my own and he liked to look and grab at them.
3. The elephant parade version is a nice neutral color.

Good crib option for the first 3-4 months Jan 31, 2011
By Toekneeb
We used this as the primary crib until my baby was 4 months old and will use it in future for camping. I wanted to have her in my room at the start and unfortunately US cribs don't fit through US doorways so once our crib was built in the nursery, we didn't want to disassemble it again.
Once my daughter reached about 2 1/2 months she was moving around a lot and shaking the bassinet part like a hammock and waking herself up so we removed it and lay her on the bottom of the pack n play. That worked for another few weeks until it was clear the base wasn't solid enough for her. It bowed under her weight. Also the quilted sheets seemed to make the 4 pieces of the base board buckle and overlap. The thinner jersey fitted sheets worked much better.
The changing table worked well although it did slope to one side like many other reviewers mentioned. It didn't bother me as I knew to expect it and just rolled up a receiving blanket on that side to keep my baby more centered and always ensured the oval-shaped board was over to that side. The manual says it's good to 25lbs but I felt at 16lbs she was about at the limit of it.
I would recommend this as a cheaper crib option for when a baby is first born until about 3-4 months old but after that I feel they really need a good firm mattress and more room to move around. We'll see how it works for camping trips when she's bigger...

great for the money Jul 20, 2011
By J. Lang
"Jules"
I think this in a good playard for the money:
PROS:
1.)Well built and quality materials
2.)Very solid
3.)Easy to assemble for the most part
4.)Changing table can be used up to 25 pounds
5.)Easy to move with wheels
CONS:
1.)Mobile is pretty flimsy and mostly pointless
2.) Some other Graco playards have higher changing tables which would be more comfortable for the back.

Good overall, changing table a joke Dec 18, 2010
By Brooke A. Morford
I love the pack n play, they are very functional and fold up nicely. They seem secure, but the changing table is a joke on these models. The main reason is the way they attach, my 7 lbs infant causes the table to tilt which makes it difficult to change her because she is rolling to the edge. Would be very helpful it had support on both sides. I would no spend the money on a model with the changing table, you won't use it.

 Great product! Aug 20, 2010
By C. Que
Bought this for use with our infant. Works like a charm. We like the option of raising the "lay down" area so we do not have to continually lean down and in. We do not use the changing platform but when assembling, it did feel sturdy. All in all, great price, great product, great buy!
