Graco Day2Night Sleep System - Antiquity

Comments about Graco Day2Night Sleep System - Antiquity:

Pros
1. 2 sleep areas for little one, didn't have to buy a bassinet.
2. Nice neutral pattern.
3. Can set up a baby station outside of the nursery, great for 2 story homes.
4. Bedding in moses basket/portable bassinet is machine washable.
5. Easy set up.
6. Study construction.

Cons
1. No wheels to make transport from room to room easier, and too wide to fit through a standard doorway. You have to break it down to move it around the house.
2. Changing table is not completely waterproof and not machine washable. Can't clean it completely. Also can't wash the other parts when a pee mess leaked through the changer onto the sleeping area below.
3. Changing table is low. Stresses my back to bend over to reach, I'm 5'9"
4. Changing table not level once you place baby in it. My son is 8lbs and he rolls to one side b/c changing table bends under his weight.
5. Cushion in the moses basket,portable bassinet is already breaking down after a month and a half.
6. No built in sounds like music/nature sounds/ etc, you HAVE to plug in an MP3 player.

All in all I would buy this product again just because its so convenient to have a bassinet in our bedroom plus a nursery set-up in the living room just by buying this one product.

I purchased this product today to use for my little one expected to arrive in November. The box itself was a little heavy but my husband easily moved it from the cart to the car to the house with ease. Once it was all put together, I could easily lift the play yard and the bassinet with one hand, and once the play yard had all of its fancy additions on it I wouldn't plan on moving it so no worries there.

We opened the box and had the entire system assembled in about 30 minutes (we were also playing with the features while we were assembling, so it may have taken less time)...

The color is very neutral and soft, we purchase the antiquity travel system last month and that is mostly black with highlights of the antiquity pattern, whereas this play yard system is mostly brown/beige with tan and highlights of the antiquity pattern (there is no black on this play yard).

Many people talked about there not being a mattress for the play yard, but the directions actually show you that there is. It can be used as the full size play yard mattress, the mattress for the half sized insert (which has an area for the bassinet to be placed & storage compartment), and also to wrap and hold the play yard when broken down.

The changing area attachment seems sturdy for a newborn, probably would be more wary of it tilting once the baby reaches 15 pounds or so...

The vibration and sound system seem nice, although I didn't place batteries or try it out at all.

The portable stand for the bassinet it very sturdy and lightweight, the soft fleece lining can easily be removed and washed in the laundry and I like that it has a half canopy similar to a carseat canopy.

All in all it seems like its going to be a great product to use once the baby arrives!

The whole system looks great and very easily works with the decor of your home. The included bassinet is a great addition especially for those first few weeks/months when the little one sleeps in your room, but you can carry the bassinet bed to another room if your baby falls asleep and you want to move to a new room without waking him/her. The only part of this system I don't like is the diaper changing station - there is not a lot of support on one side and it sags causing baby to roll towards the sagging side. At first I thought we put it together wrong, but there were no missing parts, and even the assembled model in the store shows that the diaper changing station can sag.

It's very large and roomy for any size baby! Definitely worth it!

The purchase box is a bit heavy when you first bring it home but it was no big deal for my husband to lift and move on his own. This is the first time I have put together a pack and play and was able to do so on my own with minimal hassle. Assembly instructions are mostly step by step pictures, so at a few points you have to make sure to look closely. All parts of the set seem to be sturdy and reasonably well constructed, which is why I had chosen this for my registry after looking at several different similar items. I like the included bassinet and stand. I will be getting much use from this right away as a newborn bedside bassinet. The play yard and mattress surprisingly fit easily into the included travel bag. Things that I wish were also included though are a storage bag for the play yard canopy parts and pads for the bassinet and changing table. Other then that this is a very practical and versatile set which have several uses over time.

I LOVE the bassinet in this set, but the combo is overpriced and most people I've talked to don't actually use full size playards very much. The bassinet is sturdy, sleek and smart!

See my review of the Graco Travel Lite Crib Keaton: that's what I went with and love it. But I still think this bassinet design is fantastic, and hope Graco will start selling it seperately!

Even though my son isn't due until May I decided on this way before the release date. Yes the box was heavy but hubby had no issue moving it around. The set up was fairly easy the changing table issued a minor challenge which was easily passed spent 10 minutes top on that part. I can't wait to use it one part is in my living room the other next to my bed. In response to the bedding I will just lay a receiving blanket beneath him.

My baby is not due until March but I can already tell you the purchase and setup of this item is a pain! It was too heavy for my mom and 8-months-pregnant me to lift from the basket to the truck of a car by ourselves. I cannot see myself traveling with this as a travel crib for a newborn as we had originally intended. I am a first-time mom and have never put a pack-n-play together before and tried putting this together with my parents. We gave up after not being able to snap the sides up for 30 minutes and waited for my husband to get home. With him we were able to finish it in another hour and half. The instructions were pretty vague so I think the setup time will decrease with practice. We are happy with the quality of everything but the changing platform. It feels really flimsy and I am not sure I will be comfortable putting my baby on it. I also wish the basinet had a pad or sheet that was easier to change. It comes with a fleece covering that looks like it will be a pain to wash. This all being said I do think we will be happier with the use of this product once the baby comes.

We traded in a cheaper play yard for this one when we saw this displayed in the aisles. We really loved the fact that we were getting 2 items for the price of one (with bassinet). Our first baby is here now and we have been using the portable bassinet for our upstairs and downstairs moving it around with us when we need to. The item is sturdy thus far and there's plenty of space in the play yard for storing items. My baby also loves the soft vibrations, she falls asleep with it on. There could be more designs made as options, but at least this one is neutral..could be for either boy or girl. I recommend this item!

Although my baby isn't due until June we bought this sleep system now because of the great price. It looks like an very great product. I love the added storage and that I will be able to bring my baby from room to room with me. However, I rated this product four stars because it was SO hard to figure out how to get it together. It took my husband and I nearly 2 hours to figure out. I've ran a daycare over a year. I have put together many playpens and this by far has been the hardest. The instructions are so vague! It doesn't have enough information and doesn't show you enough pictures.If they fixed the instructions this would be a 5 star product!
