Baby Products Reviews of Graco Modern Pack 'N Play Playard with Bassinet and Changer, Zurich
Customer Review: Spacious and Great Looking
Summary: 4 Stars
Since I haven't had my baby yet, I can't give this 5 stars, but I think it's great so far!
I know several other reviewers complained that it didn't fit through their doors--it fit easily through mine! It does seem large, but not egregiously so, and I have wheeled it around my loft several times while rearranging rooms; it moves well and simply, and nothing has fallen off yet.
The one negative I can find is that for a portable play yard, the changing basket is really hard to get off once it is on. We had company come over after we put it together, and initially thought to just break it down and store it in a closet to save space. It proved very difficult, and we ended up just wheeling it into a different room until our guests left (but it is very mobile!).
The color combo is great and true to the picture. The puppy mobile is cute--I find myself swatting at them every time I walk past it.
All in all, I am very pleased with it. It is one of the only play yards we could find that was in a boy-appropriate color scheme without being dark and drab--just because we are having a boy doesn't mean everything needs to be blue and grey! Since we plan to use it as a bassinet for the first month or so, I will update if it fails in that regard.
Customer Review: fab
Summary: 4 Stars
We adopted a child and had three days to get the house ready, so we loved the fact that we could have this overnighted to our home. We are using this as the primary bed for our little one until his furniture arrives and it is working really well. The all-in-one convenience of the changing table and bassinet are tremendous for those late night diaper changes. On the down side, the mattress does not want to lay flat in the bassinet and has 2 ridges where it was folded during shipping. The mattress also requires a bit of wrestling to put on a mattress pad/sheet. And, the wheels are just a shade wider than the unit making it impossible to move through a standard door opening without collapsing the unit, but this was relatively easy to do. I would have also liked for the mobile to be visible without the hood in use - it is hard to get the baby out of the crib without putting the hood down or the changing table up, and you don't want to have to mess with the changing table one-handed with a baby in your arms; drop the hood before getting the baby out so not a big problem. Overall this has met our needs quite well and I do recommend it.Customer Review: Great alternative to traditional bassinet
Summary: 4 Stars
We've been using this pack and play since we brought our son home from the hospital and now he is 10 weeks old. We didn't want to buy a traditional bassinet since it would only be used for a few months and then be useless. This was a great alternative. Once our son exceeds the bassinet portion, we can still use the pack and play as a play yard.
Pros:
-The sound machine that attaches to the side is great--the music and nature sounds are soothing. Our son likes the music and falls asleep easily when we use it.
-The diaper changing station that attaches to the side has been a real life-saver, making late night diaper changes easy. The storage compartment easily holds lots of diapers and a box of wipes.
Cons:
-It does not fit through our door frames and must be broken down to move from room to room.
-While the bassinet is very secure, it does tend to bow in the center a bit.
Customer Review: So many uses!
Summary: 5 Stars
I spent an incredible amount of time choosing a pack and play. This is the one that I chose, and I have not been disappointed. The changing station is amazing! It has three pockets that hold all of the necessary items for the sometimes interesting events that happen there. The height is just right for us. The sides of the changing table are just tall enough for the baby to stay safe but not feel closed in. The bassinet feature is nice as well. Our little one has not slept there, but he has played there many times. Now that he can scooch (is this a word?) around, he likes being in there because the bottom moves just a little bit when he moves a lot. It is really fun to watch him make his way around that area. We haven't packed it up yet since it has served as our downstairs changing area since he was born, but we are sure that it will travel well. This is a well-designed pack and play. Thanks, Graco!Customer Review: Just Okay
Summary: 2 Stars
First off, this is so stylish. If you want something that doesn't have a babyish pattern and can fit in any decor, this is it. I love the change table on this, too. Very easy to use. My biggest complaints are the canopy and the mattress. We're using this as a bassinet right now and I hate that I can't remove the canopy. Not this biggest deal in the world but we have no need to use it indoors and I would prefer that I could store it away. Second complaint, bassinet mattress. It doesn't matter what type of sheet I put on it, the mattress curves and doesn't lay flat. The only want I can get it semi-flat is to not put a sheet on it.
This unit is really great looking but if I had to re-purchase it, I most likely wouldn't. The curving mattress on the bassinet is something I really dislike and makes it somewhat uncomfortable for the baby to use, as well.
