Customer Review: Graqco pack & play
Summary: 5 Stars
I was not sure of the pack and play but upon reading the reviews I decided on Tango in the Tongo.Delivery was prompt and I and my niece are 100% pleased.The price was fantastic and I was able to buy another gift with the money saved...Customer Review: So pleased, I bought a second.
Summary: 5 Stars
This play pen met all of my criteria! It is reasonably priced, aesthetically pleasing, comfortable, easy to clean, easy to put together/take down, sturdy and stores compactly. I hated how the play pen for my first son was super bright and never matched anything. This one is much more low profile, and I love that! It is also very easy to put together and take down and is sturdy once it's up. I put it together without instructions on the first try and took it down with similar results. It holds up very well and is easy to move around the house because of the wheels on the one side.
Be careful moving it down narrow hallways and through bedroom doors. My husband was frustrated with the tight fit and pulled on a leg to make it fold and it broke the tab holding it. This doesn't hurt the function and will be easily fixable, but make sure if someone is helping you that they know the proper way to fold it if they need to. That was the problem. He didn't know how to make it fold.
The bed of it has a nice cushion that doesn't absorb wetness (which is GREAT), but I found my baby sleeps much better and longer if I fold a big quilt and then put her on that. I think it makes her feel like she's in her bed at home. Back to the wetness proof fabric the cushion is covered with...The play pen I had for my first son absorbed wetness like crazy and it got SO GROSS. I would try to clean it but I never could get it back to what I considered clean, so I think this part is one of my favorite features!
I liked this so much I bought one for my house and travels, and one for my parent's house. If I had spent more, I wouldn't have been able to buy 2 and I would still have one more thing to pack in a tiny car when we go to visit.
Customer Review: easy to use and makes traveling much easier!
Summary: 5 Stars
We bought this pack-n-play because we knew that we would be traveling a lot when my son was first born and it worked great! We do not travel as much these days, but when we do it's really nice to have a pack-n-play! It works great for naps, bedtime, and to keep my son from getting into things when I need to leave the room for a few minutes and we are at a house that isn't child proof.Customer Review: ~*THANK YOU GRACO*~

"~*no need for that easily outgrown bassinet or expensive crib. I accommodated it with a mattress and mattress topper for the full size after i removed the bassinet. dimensions are 27 x 39 just in case you'd want to buy a mattress for it*~Customer Review: It's a simple device and it fulfills its purpose.
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a simple pack and play, without some of the bells and whistles that are found on more expensive models, which does what it's supposed to. I bought 2 of these, one for the grandparent's house, and one to keep upstairs in our room (so that my wife can keep an eye on our daughter while she showers, for example). We have a Chicco Lullaby LX Playard downstairs in the family room which we bought when our daughter was an infant. I'll add some points of comparison between the Chicco and the Graco at the end of the review.
If you've used a pack and play before, you'll find setting the Graco Pack 'n Play intuitive and easy; it works just like all of the other pack and plays/play yards--unfold and lock the top rails, push down the center support, put the "floor" (mattress) in place. If you haven't, the instructions are straightforward and easy.
The Gracos all seem to be highly rated by Consumer Reports (although they do not rate this particular model) and they all appear to be safe (no extraneous straps, no large holes/slots for limbs or heads to be caught in, etc.). This model does come with the bassinet attachment (which "raises" the mattress off of the bottom of the play yard--useful for napping infants), but the bassinet should no longer be used once the child can self support (sits on their own).
The Chicco Lullaby LX comes with the bassinet and changing table attachments (along with a few electonic "baby soothing" goodies) so it adds to the complexity of the setup. It also more than twice as expensive (almost 3 times as much!). It is, however the top rated play yard by Consumer Reports. If you need the extras, by all means go for the Chicco Lullaby LX Playard. Otherwise, the Graco Pack 'n Play makes for a wonderful primary play yard and also does well as a secondary play yard (which is what we're using it for).
