3.0 out of 5 stars Napper Needs Improvement

I like that this Pack 'n Play is fairly lightweight and was easy to assemble. We have been using the napper and bassinet features for my two month old daughter and it has worked out great! However, I would only give this product 3 stars because I hate that I cannot remove the cover of the napper and put it in the washing machine. The napper collects a lot of dust and I don't think just wiping it down with a wet rag (as the care instructions indicate) is clean enough when baby has accidents like pee, poo or vomit. I would probably give it 4 stars if there was an option to buy fitted sheets for the napper. I've also noticed that my napper tends to lean to the right, which I don't like.

5.0 out of 5 stars We loved it - Feels like long lasting product

I dont know if this is the best in the market. Because as a parent generally no one buys more than one pack n play of different types. But here is what I feel about it -

1) Its strong, feels like long lasting product.
2) Got wheels at one side, easy to move around.
3) Changer is very useful. I may not prefer to use napper though - you may not want your baby to sleep on a hammock kind of bed. Its not good for their backbone.
4) You can use this product for a long time. There are two tiers where your baby can sleep depending on how old he/she is.
5) Easy to pack & unpack the base. Now - I feel its time taking & not that easy to assemble or detach the changer / napper. Graco designers, attention please.
6) Love that arch. You can hang toys, also its helpful to use mosquito net over it. Baby gets some extra space.

Problem -

1) I live in an apartment and I feel the doors are of standard size. I was not able to move the pack n play from our living room to bedroom through the door. There was about a quarter to half an inch of length overlap. So I had to unpack it, move it to bedroom & pack it again.

Assembling the napper was difficult as the bars that went into the changing pad would not line up. Another issue with the napper is the bars will not release, so if you need to clean the pad from a huge blow out you are in trouble. The product itself is well made, but if you are using the bassinet attachment (Picture of bassinet clip provided) please be careful as it is just being held in place by clips. The rest of the assembly besides the changer goes together smooth, and traveling wise this folds up nicely but is a little on the heavy side.

3.0 out of 5 stars With this model, the bassinet MUST be installed to use the reversible changing table/seat.

Our daughter has a Day2Dream Deluxe Pack n Play that came with a sit-on-the-rails vibrating/rocking bassinet and changing table. She loves the convenience of having everything in one place, and with this model, the bassinet and changing table attach to the top of the rails without using the net bassinet that sets up inside the Pack n Play. They have never used the interior net bassinet, because they didn't need it, and the baby is not used to it.

Although Pack n Plays are great for travel beds, our daughter will need to fly when coming to visit, and juggling a Pack n Play along with a car seat and stroller plus their regular luggage would be a challenge. We wanted to reduce what she has to manage at the airport while keeping the equipment at our house as much as possible like the equipment the baby is used to, so we purchased a Pack n Play Playard with a reversible changing table/seat. We thought it would work just like the Pack n Play our daughter has with the changing table attaching independently to the top rails.

Not so! The changing table for this Pack n Play only attaches to the rails using the clips for the net bassinet, which means that bassinet has to be installed for the changing table to work. Although the baby is still within the weight limit for the changing table, he has never slept in a net bassinet, but he is used to using the changing table, and they have acclimated him to sleeping in the bottom of the Pack n Play as a travel bed, sensible since the net bassinet is only good until 15 lbs, and he will be using the bottom as a travel bed for a long time.

The fact that the changing table for this model cannot be attached without the net bassinet is disappointing, especially since the changing table for the model our daughter has works without it, and we had now way to know this one would not.

Perhaps Graco should make it clearer in the description of some models that the reversible changing table/seat only works with the net bassinet (unless we are missing rail clips that were supposed to come separately). I understand they both have a weight limit of 15 lbs, but it would be nice if the changing table could be used without the net bassinet - especially since some models come with a removable bassinet that sits on top of the rails.

We got creative by installing the net bassinet and flipping half of it over the end rails of the Pack n Play to get it out of the way so we can put the baby into the bottom to sleep, but jury rigging was not what we had in mind when we purchased this model. If we had known the changing table would not work without the net bassinet, we would have just purchased a different model without the changing table.

I was a first time mom when I bought this pack and play. I was living in a one bedroom apartment at the time so a crib was not an option. This pack and play served it’s purpose. I liked that there was a changing table attached to it and there was some storage as well which was nice. My daughter slept in it up until she was 17 months.
The only issue I had with this changing table was that once it was on it was staying there and it was a bit of a pain to put together. If I could go back and pick a different pack and play I would. I would go with the Evenflo portable baby suite dlx playard. That changing table flips out of the way and has more storage. I do recommend that you get hiccapop mattress it fit perfect for our pack and play and is comfortable for your little one.
