This was easy to assemble and has been real helpful. The bassinet part is the best. We used it when our baby had jaudice and we moved her from place to place for sunlight. We can let her take naps in the living room and I'm right there next to her.

I bought this as a gift for my niece. She called last weekend to thank us for it and she said it was great. It matched her stroller and her diaper bag. So I felt like I hit a homerun. She said she really liked it

I went over and over about the right solution to sleep our 11 month old daughter while on a 3 week long road trip to visit family. I finally decided that what I needed most was a comfortable and secure play to sleep the baby. I did not need an attached changing table or rocking mechanisms bassinet feature - just a place to sleep. In stores I had felt all of the mattresses - they were all pretty much the same although a few were quilted... nothing that seemed worth the extra dollars i'd pay getting a combo-pack n play. My moment of epiphany came when I found the standard pack n play sized mattress also sold by Babies R Us - $24.99, I believe.

So I went with this baseline no frills Pack N Play, got the mattress and a fitted sheet, and voila! An extra-comfy portable crib setup for just around $100, much more comfortable than if I'd spent $140+ on a fancy packNPlay.

The best thing about this solution was that my Daughter slept GREAT the whole trip! She slept even better than she does in her fancy big crib with organic mattress. The first night in a hotel was like a dream, I'd been so worried she would scream and keep the neighbors up! FYI, if you're traveling with an infant, really keep in mind the swimming pool at hotels - we'd pop her in for a splash to get rid of her "Jimmy Legs" from being strapped down in the car all day. Now, three weeks later my daughter still likes to play in it.

Can't recommend this enough, it was cheap, cute and totally functional. Get the extra mattress if your LO will be sleeping!

I bought this pnp for my 14 month old to sleep in during our trip to visit my parents. It was so easy to set up and take down. I have a baby trend pnp for home and this graco is much easier to use. Perfect for sleeping or playing.

We used this for a long time with the bassinet level because my daughter would not sleep in her room for a few months. It is great for the price, but the bassinet level is not sturdy. I don't think its dangerous, I just wouldn't use it too much. I would use the lower level sleeper instead. The inset hangs off the top rails.
Also, when we put a sheet on the mattress inset, it would curl up even though the sheets are supposedly designed for this. The mattress is very scratchy so you need the sheet, but it was annoying to try to get it to lie flat. It isn't terribly easy to collapse either.
Final verdict: good for travel or sleepovers, but watch for wear and sagging, especially on the bassinet level.

my daughter does not like to sleep in her crib and she is 3 months old so we put the pack n play in our room and she sleeps in it every night. we havent found anything that we dont like about it and the price is a great deal.

Bought for grandson and future sibling to save mum and dad bringing theirs. Had to look up on line to check that the mattress could be placed in higher position -- instruction booklet does not show this at all - let't have better instructions please!!!

I got this play yard for my mother's house. It's easy to put together and small enough to store anywhere. Great product recommend to every parent on the go :)

This is great! My daughter is still using this and she is 10 months. I bring it with me everywhere! It is sturdy, nice and a beautifully neutral color! Just remember the top bassinet part is only good until baby is 15lb.

Padding isn't good and mattress doesn't stay flat.
When my 6 mo old grandson is on one side of it, it leans to that side. It is far better to invest in a more expensive one and have the comfort and stability that a baby needs. Would not recommend!!! Can only use for naptime, not for playtime.
