I love this pack and play. It is elegant looking with colors suitable for a boy or girl. It has a changing table that can be folded back with a push of a button when not in use and is high enough not to cause back strain. The mattress pad is padded and therefore is comfortable for a baby. The vibration feature is great. I don't care for the mobile too much since it is white and babies like colors but I just hang other toys in its place. It can be used as a crib for the first couple of months since most babies don't like the open space of a crib and you can keep it in your bedroom right next to you. It has pockets to keep diapers, wipes & ointments. It can also be folded very easily and taken with you to grandma's house or on vacation as it folds very compactly. You will have to fold it when moving through doorways but this is true of almost all pack and plays since this is a safety feature. Overall this is a functional and elegant looking pack and play. We also have the matching car seat and the colors are great (browns and blues). Love it!!!

I received this pack n' play as a registry gift from Target. My husband and I chose this Graco model because of the ease of use and features on it. We had tried out a Chicco model at BRU and it took 4 people to get it folded and put back up!
Anyway, when we got it and opened it, it was just as we had tried in the store and we had it assembled in about 20 minutes. It was very easy to fold and put into the bag.
The bad part. The photos online show the pattern to be somewhat subdued and "chic". When we opened it the pattern was very bold and the blue stripes in the plaid was like bright turquoise blue, not a baby or smokey blue like I had thought. I laughed because it looked so crazy with the brown and cream.
We are keeping it. The functionality is what is most important and it's not as bad as some of the other models we have seen and we wanted something gender-neutral. Just be forewarned of the brightness in the pattern.

I purchased this pack n play for my newborn baby for the purpose of having a mini nursery in my living room. If your looking for a light compact travel play yard, I suggest you buy something else. These big pack and plays are mostly meant to be stationary and travel with occasionally when you need the bassinet insert and changing station. If the baby is older and you only need the play yard than it's easy to travel with. I love the pattern bc it matches everything and it can be for a boy or girl. Some of Graco's patterns are just ugly. Very happy with my purchase. It was very easy to put together and the changing station is a must have!!

This was misrepresented in the description. You will not get bug-toy attachments. Regardless of that, the colors are muted and pleasant, it sets up and breaks down easily and it's considerably larger than the other playpens on the market. We love it.

this pack'n'play works great, the only thing i dont really like about it, which took me a while to realize, is that on the changing table part, there is a hard piece of material (to support the baby while it is lying down getting changed) that does not cover the whole changing area. my daughter would constantly cry when i would change her, and i never knew why. come to find out, the back of her head was always resting on 1/2 of the hard material, and the other 1/2 of her head wasn't being supported by anything. i started putting a small pillow or would use a few receiving blankets as a cushion for her head and from that point on she never cried again!

At first glance, the all-in-one bassinet, changing table and portable playpen was exactly what I wanted so our newborn could sleep in our bedroom before we transitioned him to the nursery. However, once we got this home and put it together, we quickly saw that it is not practical for us:
- difficult to assemble/disassemble, so this is really like a stationary piece of furniture rather than something you can move around your home (let alone travel with).
- huge - we could not fit it through our doorways once it was assembled
- not portable - wheels are not exposed once it's in its carry bag, so you have to carry the full weight of the playard rather than rolling it like a suitcase. Other playards (Combi) pack up like a rollaboard suitcase, making them much more portable and convenient.
- canopy and toys are super-cheap and not worth the extra money: looks like you're paying $90 more for these "upgrades" that are cumbersome, unattractive and poor quality (one velcro tab tore off during assembly). Save your money and go for a more basic model.

We are now returning this item and shopping for something that better suits our needs.

We LOVE the Graco Central Park - Pack N Play, not only is it absolutely beautiful it has been a life saver. We have moved and traveled extensively over the past 1 1/2 year. We had no problem putting it together, although I let my husband set it up the first time, it was quite simple. I have packed it, carried it, and set it up by myself many times, it is not heavy and if you follow the directions exactly it goes together quite simply. I just wish I had had it for my first child. The changing table has been great; no matter how short the trip we always take it along. A great buy!

great product but no sheets or mattress pad available for this large size (38" x 38"). You will have to make your own...

The Graco "pack n play" play yard is relatively light an easy to assemble. Perfect for grandma's house or anyone who is serious about giving baby an occasional play space of their own. It is large, sturdy and holds up to a rapidly growing child. Good for nap times too. A full-size play yard was impossible for me to find locally, and was thrilled to be able to order this one. The colors are pleasing - again, great for grandmas who want to look at their grandchild and not the glare of the play yard.

The smaller play yards are nice for traveling, but if you're looking for one to leave up all the time (i.e. grandma's house), this is a better choice as it has so much more room for baby to sleep and/or play and move around. It's as easy to set up as the smaller play yards and is nice and sturdy.
