Customer Reviews

I absolutely love this playard. It is strong, sturdy, cute, and gender neutral. I bought this for my little girl and she loves it too. The changing table feature is great especially because it can be folded to the side until needed. I also love the changing table because it feels just as sturdy as the rest of the playard unlike some I have seen. The bassinet is strong and great to have with such a little one. This same playard sells at Wal-Mart for 13 dollars more and doesn't ship free to your house like this one does. I also love the working mobile, I wish it would stay on longer, but my daughter loves it anyway. This is easy to take apart and easy to get back together. Nothing beats this playard for the price. This item is worth the money and a great buy. I would highly recommend it!!!

Chicco Lullaby LX Playard

That design may be an exclusive to Babies-R-Us. The play yard is pretty easy to set up and it probably took me about 30 minutes from start to finish. So far I've left the changing table up 24/7 and let the baby sleep in the bassinet. My baby loves to look at the stuffed animals that hang from the top (elaphant, zebra, lion, giraffe, and rabbit)

The changing table is vinyl and its easy to wipe off if you have an accident while changing. There are three mesh bags hanging off the side of the changing table to store changing supplies. This is my biggest complaint about this product. This isn't the best design for storing supplies. It's ok, not great. The changing table is sturdy and feels secure enough. It's attached to the play yard with a zipper and four buckles.

The removable corner unit controls the music/volume, light, and vibrate features. There is also a remote control and everything uses AA batteries (6 total). The music is ok and it has decent sound. The light is ok (we rarely ever use it) and the vibrate feature hardly even vibrates the mattress. My baby does seem to like it, so it must do something. Every feature times out after 6 minutes, which is nice, and the remote control can can turn everything on or off.

We love the style of this pack N play! It works really well with twins with the newborn napper station. We would recommend this to anyone. We also have the matching double stroller, high chairs, and car seats! We get lots of compliments from everyone, that they've never seen that style before. Its nice that they dont sell this style in the stores!

Graco Pack 'N Play Playard with Bassinet and Changer

2011-03-29T06:08:00.000-07:00

This item is easy to assemble/disassemble, useful from infancy to about 2 years old, has nice neutral tones for your decor, and it even fits through most doorways fully assembled. Our two year old grandson now sleeps in a spare toddler bed because he's too full of spit and fire for this anymore, but it was a godsend when he was younger.

Otherwise, with our second grandchild due this summer and another due this winter, we will be getting plenty of "play" out of this product, and happily so.

Graco Pack 'N Play Playard with Twins Bassinet, Kensington

2011-03-28T08:20:00.000-07:00

My husband and I were looking for a "living room" bassinet for our twin babies. After doing extensive research, we bought the Twin Pack n Play. We considered getting a single pack n play, but felt the weight limit (15 lbs for the pack n play in bassinet mode) would preclude us from using it as a portable crib for longer than 1-2 months.

This pack 'n play is considerably bigger than a single. It was fairly easy to assemble, and has 2 "bassinets". Basically it is a single upper mattress, with 2 separate "baby" areas. Each has a canopy cover. The mattress itself is fairly firm. We have not yet washed and used the matching sheets (not included with the purchase).

Overall I feel this is a very good option for families with twins. While we have yet to use it with our baby boys, I am sure that they will take many "naps" here!

Graco Modern Pack 'N Play Playard with Bassinet and Changer, Zurich

2011-03-28T08:10:00.000-07:00

This is a great looking Pack 'N Play, which is what drew me in to start with, then I read about all the features, and liked it even more and went ahead and registered for it. Now that our little guy is 6 weeks old, I'm ready to review.

The appearance was true to the photos and pleasing. The colors are great. If you're looking for a sheet to match, try anything "natural" or "ecru" -- the hanging dogs that dangle from the bassinet top are that sort of color. Chocolate brown goes well too -- Carter's makes a great quilted one

And now for the features --

1) Changing table = awesome. So very convenient to have it right there. There are three pockets for storing necessary items on the side -- a large wipes container fits well in the center, and diapers and creams/sprays/etc fit in the other two. I have not had any problems with the changing table becoming crooked or non-level, as others have commented -- and it's been our primary changing table, since we're in the process of moving. The only downside to the changing table is that the cover/fabric portion is not meant to be removable for washing. It says to wipe it down with a damp cloth or the like. Now, the bottom of the changing table is truly waterproof, but the sides are not -- they're a very wettable nylon sort of fabric. So air-pees get them good and soaked, and it's hard to remove stubborn diaper cream that may have been kicked there by an irritated baby or spilled there by an exhausted parent.

2) "Soothing vibration" for the bassinet -- very nice, but we've used it a LOT and it no longer works reliably. We can't seem to find the loose connection, either. Jiggling the switch, the connection to the switch, or the unit itself has only inconsistent results. I haven't had time to troubleshoot it fully, but it's very frustrating when you're really hoping for that soothing vibration to help the little one get back to sleep at 2AM, and it doesn't work! EDITED TO ADD: The vibration can also be very loud when it does work. I think this is because the "mattress" has hard boards in it. We were able to quiet it down by placing a folded cloth between the vibrator and the mattress. I'm not sure I'd recommend this though, as adding extra thermal insulation over even a battery powered electric item may be a bad idea.

3) Nature sounds and music -- nice, but quite low volume. The music is really too low to hear well at all. There is one nature sound that sounds like ebbing and flowing waves -- sort of -- our LO likes this best, perhaps because the rhythmic nature of it reminds him of heartbeats in the womb.

4) Lights on the sound/music unit -- really too dim and poorly directed to be of much use. I thought they'd be great, but the one pointing inward never seems to illuminate more than a toe at best, so I usually end up using my phone or a closet light to really see the baby to check for movement/spitup/etc.

5) The bassinet itself -- super convenient to have the child up high like that, to minimize bending over. The canopy is cute, as are the dangling dogs, but they don't do much beyond look cute really. The canopy doesn't quite deploy as roundly as you might like, but it would still shade some sun if you needed it to. If you've never had a Pack 'N Play (I know I hadn't) -- the bassinet "mattress" is an accordion-folding set of boards covered in slightly padded nylon. It sits on a sort-of hammock-like support that you drape and secure over the top of the crib-like unit, and extends the full length/width of the Pack 'N Play. It can tend to lie less-than-flat if you put the baby sideways in the bassinet, rather than lengthwise, which is what my husband likes to do. This sort of nestles the baby in a very slight "V" shape of one of the accordion folds. One thing to note -- the instructions state that the bassinet portion is only good for babies up to 15 pounds. Also, some people find that the bassinet "mattress" feels flimsy to them and they want to add a mattress -- then instructions specifically warn you *not* to do this. I did, however, try to find one that would fit snugly in the bassinet or bottom of the crib just in case -- I failed. Standard portacrib mattresses seem to be just slightly off, leaving enough of a gap that we, as first time paranoid parents, were not comfortable with.

OVERALL -- It's a great Pack 'N Play if a Pack 'N Play is what you want/need. The changing table is super useful, even though the cover isn't removable for washing. The music/lights are marginally useful at best because they're very quiet/dim, but the nature sounds work fairly well. The soothing vibration may be great if your baby likes it, but our unit no longer performs reliably at 6 weeks and it can be very loud when it does work. Also note that as others have pointed out, this Pack 'N Play does not fit through a standard doorway when fully open/set up. EDITED TO ADD: Note that if you're going to travel with the bassinet attachment and the changing table, you probably won't be able to pack it all into the sack it comes with -- at least we can't. The basic playard fits, but we need a full-size duffel bag to pack the bassinet and changing table separately.

UPDATE: As much as I love this Pack 'N Play, we're extremely frustrated with the vibrating unit -- it won't work even remotely predictably now, and we really need it some nights! During said nights, I'm tempted to downgrade my review drastically, but that's lack of sleep talking.

Safety 1st Travel Ease Elite Play Yard, Orion

We bought this play yard for our 4 month old baby to use on the first floor of the house, so we don't have to carry her upstairs every time she naps. It's super easy to essemble and fold and it comes with a carry bag. You would never guess the bag carries a play yard it's so compact! It's great for when the baby stays at the grandparents. The only minor con is that I'm not a big fan of the changing area: it's kind of hollow instead of flat and now when the baby is 6.5 month old, it's already too small. But since I'm not using it too much for changing the baby, I don't mind.

Cosco Fun Sport Play Yard, Wild Adventure

2011-03-28T07:45:00.000-07:00

I love the Play Yard. I love the price. I love the fact that it packs up neatly & you can take it away anywhere w/you. It's big enough for baby to play in for a few mnts & nap in. It can be moved easily & effortlessly.

The only things I didn't like is that it is a bit hard to set up & about an 1 1/2 too wide to go through a bedroom door. Once its set up it has to be taken down to take it from room to room for it won't fit through a bedroom door. It's ok for a 1 1/2 & under but for a 2 year old they will climb out of it. We take it on outings, he naps where we can see him and he is not on the ground. I just don't care to set it up myself. When our friends come over w/their baby they put their son in it to nap but when he wakes up he climbs out. This is why I know that when our son is about 2 he will most likely be doing the samething. Who knows maybe even before. I hope this helps.
