I received this pack n' play for a shower present this weekend and it is absolutely adorable set up. It is very colorful and the the toys are cute. It was very easy to set-up. I am not good at putting things together and it took me about 5 minutes total.
The matress comes out so you can put it on the floor with the toys overhead. It is very multi-functional.

The seller at Babies R Us recommended this playpen over others. I am glad I listened to him because unlike other playpens, this one has a built-in interactive light-up music panel that my daughter loves to look at. It is also very colorful and big, yet light enough to carry by myself. I also put it together within 5 minutes by myself without ever having to reference the instructions, so other mommies will like the ease and convenience of setting it up. My daughter loves the colors and dangling stuffed animals, especially the rabbit. She started smiling at the rabbit when she was 3 months old and singing to it, now she speaks to it. I believe the colors and features are responsible for her brain stimulation and advanced behavior. The only thing I wish was improved upon is the soundbox on the light-up button panel. Although I have it on the highest setting, once you close the back, it does not sound loud at all, I have a hard time listening to it especially when the a/c is on in the house or the TV is on, so I wish they could make the volume go up a little higher since I doubt my daughter can hear it. As other reviewers have said, the bassinette is a lot stronger and sturdier than other playpens' bassinettes because it attaches to the bars with reinforcements, not cheap and flimsy velcro. The mattress is soft as well, I am very happy with this playpen, now I just need to buy a 2nd one for the other grandma!!

The play gym cross bar "baby Einstein" attachment on this product collapsed on my 3 month old! I had used it before with no problems and thought I was careful in putting it up but the clips keeping it on must have come undone and it collapsed on her. She was not hurt, but could have been if the heaviest part had falled on her. I actually like the regular pack and play part of this very much -- easy to put up, relatively light, nice primary colors -- and will continue to use that but I will not use the "baby Einsten" attachment anymore.

I LOVE this playyard for the happy, bright colors and the arch. I also love the beautiful classical tunes it plays, HOWEVER, I wish it could have a setting to play for alittle longer to keep the baby entertained while I'm able to get something done. It only plays each melody of your choice once so you have to sit around & keep pressing the buttons (four buttons for one short melody per button) to keep hearing the music. But overall, I do love this playyard and would recommend it.

This is a great pack'n'play. It's easy to set-up and take any place. The bassinet is great - very sturdy and larger than another one that I have. The colors are bright and the music piece keeps our baby's attention. My only problem is the piece for the top. Whenever I try to use it, the arms bow in and it doesn't look very sturdy. I also have trouble using this piece and the mat on the ground. It just doesn't seem very sturdy and I have tried everything.

Other than that, I am glad that I bought this!!

We bought this item for our 6 month old baby girl as she was starting to get quite active. It is sturdy, fun, and very secure. The additional music kept her amused and it is large enough that she had plenty of room to roam. She actually started pulling herself up in it a few months later. She loves th colours and sounds and I love the fact it is secure and safe.

We plan on using this with our next baby due in a month.

It is however a little difficult for moving around. in large spaces it wheels quite well but if you need to shrink it down you pretty much have to take it completely down as when you press one button in the frame seems to just go every which way. I had to move it from the living room to the bedroom a few times and I ended up just folding it completely down and taking a few trips with the base and toys etc. Also getting all the equipment in the carry case is a little tight, with the extra toys its quite cramped, also there are a few pipes used for the bed area that do not really have a home anywhere, so when packing it up they are pretty loose and you have to watch they don't fall out (a bag like a tent pole bag would solve this problem).

All in all when it is set up it is great, and for the price a lot better then others I saw, as for pack n' play it is more a case of play, packup, poke and prod, squeeze a little, stuff this in here and that in there and then go.

This playpen works really well. We wanted something simple - some of the pack and plays are so complicated it makes them less functional. This definitely is simple and easy to assemble. I don't see the point of the toys on it, even with the basinette in, the baby can only look but not really play with them. We have her own toys we put in with her. We didn't really want this for the toys anyway though.

Our daughter LOVES this playpin and so do we! It's extremely easy to set-up and take down. I love the colors, the stuffed animals are cute and entertain her. The bassinette is large and sturdy and gives her lots of room to move around. The mattress is soft and the pattern is bright and colorful. It's also not heavy and easy to tote. My only two concerns are with the activity panel, each song is particularly short and even on it's high setting the music isn't really loud enough. Our daughter is 15 weeks right now so I'm sure once she's older she'll be able to interact with the panel better and won't need me to press the buttons.

Over all we are 100% satisfied with the purchase, it is safe, afforable, practical and cute! I would highly recommend this playpen to everyone.

My little girl loves this play space! The colors and over head bar keep her amused for long enough that I can get dinner on or help with home work. The only thing that might make it better would be if the music in the push button play mat lasted longer than 2 minutes.

I think for your money you get a great value for this playard. It comes with an interactive musical toy that no other playard comes with anything like this. It also comes with overhead bars that you can hang toys from and the baby can play with. The mattress seems very comfortable and I bought this playpen because the bassinet part looked more reinforced than the others. It has bars that snap in place and also has plastic parts that hang over the tops. The mat can also be used as a playmat on the floor with the overhead bars.
