Graco Pack 'n Play CareSuite Bassinet Lux Infant Toddler Playard, Sky Grey

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great product - this is lightweight and easy to put together. Light grey color is also a lot over than all the black ones out there. Looks nice in our playroom.

It was a great purchase overall. Easy set up, The changing table has gotten the most use, thus far.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Background: We have a Graco Travel Dome LX so a lot of my review is going to be compared against that. And our baby girl turned 5mo by the time we received the baby play yard from the Stellar Product Testing Panel, so the newborn bassinet add-on is obsolete to us at this point. Fast bassinet setup: 2-3 minutes from storage mode to bassinet, mainly because the zipped-in bassinet can stay on while collapsing the frame into storage mode. The hole in the middle of the bassinet mesh allows access to the pull tab at the bottom of the frame to fold/form the frame. The 2 support metal tubes disconnect into 3 parts each and they can be tucked in such a way that the frame still folds and fits in the platform cover sticking out slightly. (see pic) We have intentionally trained our now 5.5mo to sleep in the bassinet so that she doesn't have to get used to a different sleeping surface when we travel to visit family in a couple of weeks. No wheels (But it is light enough that it's hardly necessary, especially when used during travels/not-at-home naps). Changing pad: the frame tubing comes apart into a pretty small footprint that is suitcase friendly so we'll probably bring it along for our upcoming travel. Both the playard & the changing pad fit in our large suitcase, we'll probably pad it quite a bit with clothing. Newborn Bassinet: While we do not have a use for the newborn bassinet at this time, I noticed that the installation of it is more cumbersome than the one that comes with the Dome LX. This model requires the metal tubing go through part of the zipped-in bassinet to hold it up, and I had to use a plier (or any hard pointy object) to depress the quick-connect pin to remove - if this was used as a permanent fixture in the home I imagine it won't be much of a problem because you'll essentially only have to do it once per baby, but I will probably skip the infant bassinet add-on altogether if I'm using this on-the-run/for travel. The good thing is when put away, the footprint is much smaller because of the tubing frame that comes apart (vs the LX's infant bassinet add-on can be used standalone and have a rigid oval frame). The newborn Cleaning: while the play yard/bassinet platform's cloth surface is nice & soft, it's also impossible to wipe clean. Between nice/soft and cleanability, I choose cleanability: so I am putting a waterproof, washable cover over it. I also have to mcgyver the 4-part platform to stay extended so the stretchy cover doesn't cause the platform to buckle. The newborn bassinet has the same nice & soft surface, and I'm glad I don't have to figure out how to keep it clean. Both of these surfaces have hardboards inside so they are not made to be machine washable. Someone more confident with their stitching skill can probably work their magic to remove the hardboard so they can be washed?

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Graco Pack 'n Play CareSuite Bassinet Lux Playard is a great addition to our home in anticipation of our new baby girl. Graco Pack 'n Play is the gold standard for a reason and this version steps it up with well thought out attachments and modern color scheme. The bassinet and changing pad will be incredibly useful for the first few months. We feel very comfortable that our baby girl will be able to sleep comfortably and safely in the bassinet whether we are at home or on the go. The Pack 'n Play sets up and tears down so easily that I know we will move it around our house and take it on visits to the grandparents or friends for easy access throughout the day. Compared to older models that my family owns this one was easier to setup and tear down. Even new parents like us were able to do it without ant instruction or prior experience. The updated colors of.this model fit perfectly with our modern but classic style and seem as though they will be easy to keep clean as she grows. Although we haven't had baby girl yet we look forward to using this Pack 'n Play on a daily basis. Thank you Stellar Product Testing Panel for sending us the Graco Pack 'n Play CareSuite Bassinet Lux Playard. We can't wait to use it for our baby girl in a few weeks!

I would've gave 5 stars but you never added instructions in the box went online and it seems like you didn't give any instructions at all to anyone… besides that it's great

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Thank you to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for sending me this Pack n' Play, it came right at the right time for my baby! I am someone who does not love to read instructions to assemble, however the instruction manual to set this up was almost all diagrams. It made it so easy for me to put this together in under 5 minutes! The four in one configurations are so helpful- newborn sleep area, changing area, bassinet and finally pack n play. Right now, I'm using the bassinet option most often. It's high up enough that I can easily reach in to take my daughter out, but still safe enough that my 4year old can't climb in or take the baby out. We use it primarily in kitchen to have somewhere safe to put the baby down, but it breaks down so easily and is much lighter than I expected. In the carrying bag, I'll be able to bring it on trips without a problem. The little hanging stars are very sweet. I wish there was a way to hang them off of something when not using the newborn sleep space. Or, that any time of mobile had come for this. Because my baby is still so young, I wouldn't let her sleep in the bassinet or pack n play version without me present because the mat is a little too soft. My biggest criticism is that it doesn't come with sheets or a protector. I've only had it a few weeks but it is stained with spit up because it is spot clean only. I'll be looking into ordering the corresponding sheets.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a solid Graco pack & play and the addition of the bassinet is great. It makes it very easy to grow with your baby - if you're like me, you need a place to put your baby in when you're in a living space, and this is great because you can use the bassinet if they are asleep or the pack & play space if they are awake and as they grow. It was easy to set up, though I wish it were lighter and easier to take down - this won't be our go-to for travel given the components and it was tough for me to break down with one hand (though my husband can make it happen). However, the value is definitely in the multiple functions, especially in the early newborn days! Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this baby playard.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this baby playard from the Stellar Product Testing Panel in exchange for my honest review. With four children, I've used several pack n plays over the past 10 years. This particular style is a first for me. There were things to love and areas to improve. First, I received no product manual or instructions with the playard. Typically, this would not be an issue as most set up and break down in a similar way. The basic structure does, however, because of the additional features it sat half together overnight while we worked up the desire to figure out the rest. The infant bassinet feature is completely collapsed unless attached with extra bars to the playard. It would be nice if it could stand on its own and move around the house when baby is brand new. It is odd that there is no way to cover it in case of messes. The changing table is a great feature but not one that we will use. The reason we aren't using the changing table is because our baby, at 2.5 months old, was too large for the infant bassinet so we went straight into using the full size bassinet feature. I did not feel comfortable leaving the changing table on top while he slept in the bassinet since it would be only inches from his head. For reference, my 2.5 month old is 14lbs. Now for the things I love about the playard. The large bassinet feature is great. I like how big and roomy it is and feel the size is a good transition to crib sleeping for baby. The mattress is excellent! Luxurious compared to any other we've ever used. It is padded and feels so much more comfortable than the typical, thinly covered partical board. The fabric and style of the playard is really sleek. I love the neutral color. I did find it a bit challenging to find bed sheets for the mattress. It did not come with a sheet and when looking online, many sheets labeled for playards were not the correct measurements and appeared to be too small. The sheets I purchased that were the correct measurements look slightly large and require extra effort to tuck tightly. For our use, at home, we need to find a place to store the features we aren't using, so consider storage if you don't need every feature. Overall, it's a beautiful playard. I would recommend it for the grandparents house or for travel where you likely do not have all of the conveniences of home.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have an almost 6 month old and thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel we got to try the Graco Pack 'n Play CareSuite Bassinet Lux Playard. I really like the color and style of this playard. It's very modern looking. Set up was pretty straight forward. I did need to reference the instructions a few times. I've not used a playard with the side rails that pop up and break down. It has a learning curve to it. The fabric is nice, but I sure do wish it was removable and washable. Baby items need to easily be cleaned and this model of Graco does not instruct any more than to spot clean it. I like the changing table, that's been extremely helpful on my back. All in all, I like this playard. I do wish it was easier to clean though. Thanks again to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for giving us the opportunity to try this playard.
