Fantastic for a first time Grandparent
When I first got this, for my first grandchild, I was looking for something that was convenient to have around my house, and that I could use in various stages of growth. So for me, the changing table and bassinet were must haves, as I did not plan to buy a crib that had an attached changing table, or a separate bassinet. So this playard was the perfect compromise. It did take a bit of time to put together, as easy as you would think it is. And then I made the mistake of putting one piece on wrong, that is where the Bassinet hooks to. When I first put it on, it was under the changing table and I was having a mini freakout and contacted support, who was wonderful to work with. We couldn't figure out why my assembly was wrong, and they were patient, and then decided to just send me a new one. While that was coming, I figured out what I had done wrong, but unfortunately had to wait for the new one to arrive. As far as the items, I've not used the actual playard yet, just the bassinet and changing table. Both are fantastic! I pack the bassinet with me everywhere and our 6 week old sleeps in it wonderfully! The changing table holds up great as well. Love the storage that clips on the sides, perfect for my diapers, wipes, creams and stuff.
Love this. Very handy
I’m babysitting my grandchild during the day and this is amazing. Husband had it together in 15 min. Love the changing table aspect and that I can roll it from room to room
Love product but the initial assembly was tough
Purchased for my son and daughter-in-law. Delivery was super-fast. Loved working on my side. My son had some trouble with the assembly instructions.
Great price and quality!
This pack'n play is very good price and great quality. The diaper changing table is very convenient. You can also take my baby to my side at any time. I highly recommend it.
Baby must have
We got this as a gift from our registry and it the absolute BEST!! The changing station is perfect height so I don’t break my back, the bassinet is perfect for the newborn stage!! We LOVE this as a second station for us downstairs. The attachments come off super easy with one hand because we all know that you have baby in the other :-) highly recommended.
Great buy
Bought this for my baby. Being a mom of 3 and having this pack and play definitely simplifies changing the baby and having a nap place for them. Great on space. Very comfortable and completely.
Super conviene functionality!
Extremely easy to assemble, move around, and disassemble when going over to visit grandma! High quality and has super cool features! I was going to buy a diaper changing station and play-pen but it’s really an all in one set!
Amazing product!
We use our pack n’ play as a bassinet and for travel! Our little sleeps so well in it and we love that it had a changing table for travel!
Perfect
Perfect fit for your baby and to keep them close to you when you don’t have the bassinet or crib around
Beat pack and play!
Have been using for 2.5 years. Still in great shape and ready for next baby.
All in One
I was so excited for this pack'n playard as it has all the basics you will need when starting out. I love the newborn bassinet can be removed to use alone when having to move around in the home. The unit has built-in storage which is just enough to store the essentials. It has wheels so its easy to maneuver and fold easily if you need to move to another area of home and or travel. I didn't give 5 stars only because it doesn't have sound features and/or vibrating features like some of the other models but this has all you need for a basic all in one.
So useful and functional
I got this as a gift for my baby boy and totally love using it. Makes changing him so easy.
Love this!
I received this for my baby shower and I love it so much! So easy to put together and so convenient to have! We keep this on our first floor so we don’t have to worry about going up and down the stairs to change her or take a nap. Highly recommend!
Best pack and play!!!
Used this product from day 1. We have a 2 story home so we leave the pack and play downstairs in the living room and use it more than his actual changing table. My som is 9 months and we still use it. Also travels extremely well!
Must Buy
I bought it for my son and we love it. It was a wonderful purchase because he has been able to use it since he was a newborn and is still using it now as a one year old. Definitely does grow with him
So easy we got 2!
Unordered on for our vacation house, too, rather than make our kids travel with theirs. We used Graco pack and plays for our 3 and now we bought them for our granddaughter.
Love it
Bought for grandchildren at our house. On the third grandchild and still in great shape!
Portable with ease!
Received this as a baby shower gift and far beyond it’s served it purpose and then some!! We take it everywhere. From nap time at Grandma’s to playtime in the summer we’ve used it for all the things. I love how easy it is to setup and take down, and that it’s light enough to come along on any trip!
Love the infant napper
I received this as a gift at my baby shower. Thank God I did. The infant napper was a life saver.
Multipurpose Use
I am happy with this pack n play! It's great for travel to visit family in addition to sleep and play at home. It's easy to set up and take down.
Awesome for Grandparents house!
great back saving features for these old bones! using it on our 9th grandchild and still loving it!!
Great features
I got this for my baby shower and I use it daily. It came with a sitting chair for when they are infant and a changing table that’s handy too.
I love it
I received this as a baby shower gift and it works perfect for my family the baby sleeps peacefully in there
Very sturdy changing table
This has been a lifesaver to have in the first floor. He can nap in the pack and play and the changing table is very sturdy. It’s also very easy to assemble and disassemble when traveling.
Great purchase!
Very well made & very functional. It takes up very little space!
Changing table a huge plus!
Used this everyday when my son in the newborn stage. The changing station on the top was perfect, so I didn’t have to go upstairs to use the one in the bedroom. it also grows with your child for a long time which is great.
Great Features!
Used this for our first born and will use again for the next kiddos! So nice to have a changing station and portable bassinet that goes with it.
Very versatile
After doing much research I decided to get this Graco Pack 'n Play for my newborn. It is so versatile because I can use this as my baby grows until he's a toddler. It has the removable bassinet and diaper changing area which is great when you are on the go. Plus, it is very safe and this gives me peace of mind.
Perfect all in one!
We bough get this so we can take our child up to visit our parents!
Love it
Love it super easy to put up and take down in any mode!
Very nice
Very nice, Convenient & everything that you could ever want/ need in a play yard
SAHM Approved
I love this 3 in one for daily use. It saves me the hassle of having to take my baby to the nursery for nap time and I always have a safe space for them when moving room to room. Being a new stay at home Momma isn’t easy but this sure makes it better!
Perfect For Every Day
I love this Pack N' Play! It's the perfect height when baby is a newborn. I also love how the setting can be changed as baby grows. Because this bassinet is still a Pack N' Play it can easily move from room to room or be taken on vacation. I love it!
Best pack n play ever!
We bought this a couple weeks ago, easy to put together and very very nice! highly recommend getting this for first time parents!
Great for new granddaughter
Had a while going on the 2nd granddaughter. The only thing it was missing some of the button clips. Called but they said they could send any. Just don’t use the Cradle part
Love it
A bought theses about two months ago for my 4 month old a love it
Quality
The Graco Pack n Play is so much prettier than the off-brand names.
Fantastic for anything.
I got this as a gift and we love it. The bassinet and changing table are just perfect. It’s just so convenient to have everything in one place.
Multipurpose and Easy to carry
This is one of the best playards available. It serves the purpose of a changing table, a bassinet as well as a playards for out little one. He enjoys playing inside and we also do carry it along while travelling. Will definitely recommend this product.
Very portable
We bought this for our baby boy and love being able to set him up comfortably and safely for on the go naps!
Essential baby equipment
Easy to assemble and great for baby's first few years... we have it downstairs and the diaper changing table is great for the lower level and the bassinet was great to have the baby sleep in as well. Very useful to be able to move it places...
So many features…
Been using for 4 months. Love every option!! Changing table is just the correct size plus baby is secure. Mattress is comfortable but not thick enough to be unsafe. Will certainly adjust to child through several months.
Simple yet satisfied.
The term pack n play really sums it up. It’s easily folded back up and packed for convenience of going to the in-laws. Then easily set up again without any hassle.
So handy!
This package and play with the bassinet and changing table is so simple and handy to have not only at home but to also take in the car when you visiting family.
Spacious and affordable
I bought this 4 months ago and have used it each day!
Love this pack n play!
I recently purchased this for my second baby and I am so glad I did! To have a bassinet and changing table on top is so convenient. Both the bassinet and the changing table come off to put the baby in the pack n play when they are older. This is the best purchase.
Great features
This is so wonderful im a grandma and I love how everything is in item
Easy to use
Bought this for my third baby because I have used a Pack ‘n’ Play with all of my kids and wanted to get a new one for new baby and we love it! So easy to use and great features!
Great features!
Happy I chose this pack n play, love the bassinet! Also can be used as baby gets bigger
Ease of use
I absolutely loved having this! It didn't take up much space & was easy to fold for storage & travel & also easy to set up. I felt it was very sturdy & safe!
Great item
We received this for our baby. I love the easy access to everything we need for our little one. Diaper station, baby area. I can’t wait to use all the functions over the years!!!
Love it
Bought for my granddaughter and it works out perfect when she visits
Great carseat
This seat is awesome for my son! So glad I bought it!
Love all the options
I bought this a while back for my now 11 month old son. It was so nice to have the changing table and bassinet easily accessible. We also used it without the top accessories for him to nap in when he was really small. It’s so convenient to move from room to room.
Great for Grandma’s House
I have used this for my grandchildren and it is great because I can set it up in my living room or a bedroom. It adapts to our needs!
So many features
I bought this for my first grandchild so she can come to stay. Love all of the features it has so it can grow with the child.
Very easy to use
I bought this for my granddaughter and it works great.
Awesome Bassinet
Awesome bassinet made of high quality material.The Diaper Changing station is very useful for my infant.Overall very happy with this product.
Love it!!!!
I bought this a few months ago and I’m glad I did. Love that it a bassinet and changing table along with the play pin. Changing table and bassinet are super easy to remove when you want to use the play pin. I would definitely recommend.
So convenient!
This really exceeded my expectations. I got it while it was on sale and that of course made me even more excited. It is really well built and I love everything about the design.
Great features!
I bought this 4 months ago and it's very handy! My son loves it!
Love the changer
The set up on this could use some work. However once it is set up the changer and attachment for holding wipes, diapers etc makes diaper changes much easier especially at night. The bassinet my daughter didn’t care for but it’s a nice deep capacity and would fit an arrange of sizes no matter how big or small your newborn is. The playard itself is great my daughter naps in it daily and I will be bummed when she outgrows it.
Compact and perfect for everything you need
We absolutely love this Grace Pack n’ Play. The bassinet is ideal for the early days and the diaper changing station is very convenient for those quick changes away from the table. Highly recommend!
Love it!
I got it as a baby shower gift. It’s really practical and comfortable. I love it because I could just take it with me where ever I go.
Love this must have for my Grandson! Great quality
This is perfect for my Grandson! He loves to sleep in his!
My favorite pack n play!
Bought this for my son to sleep in and we absolutely love it. He's still in the bassinet part but the bassinet is portable which makes it so convenient!
Easy!
Gift for my shower and I use it constantly. So easy and portable.
Great Quality
My husband and I bought this for the new edition to our family and we love it.
Great value for all the extras in a pack and play!
I bought this as my son was growing out of his Sense 2 Soothe Bassinet and it’s been a great transition
Happy with our purchase
I wanted a playard with all the features: newborn bassinet, changing table, and full size infant bassinet, and we are very happy with our Pack n Play so far. Our two month old is sleeping on the full size infant bassinet and it is working well for us. It was easy to assemble and is good quality.
A great choice for the budget
This Pack-n-Play has been a huge help to me with an infant and a toddler. The portable bassinette makes it easy to transport baby around the house and keep her safe while I play with my toddler. The changing table is super convenient. However, there's no hook to hang a dirty diaper bag. Also, the bassinette and changing table do not collapse very easily for travel. An added feature that I would like to see on this model is a zipper down front of the Pack-n-Play so that it would be easier to stash extra toys and blankets in the lower area. Overall, a very good product for the price!
Pack n play
Great bassinet and play in. Exactly what I’ve been looking for
Great product
I have this for my baby and she sleeps great in it I recommend it!
Perfect!
I’m so happy we purchased this! It has been perfect for visiting grandma. 10/10 would recommend!
Perfect for traveling!
I bought this pack n play in October for my newborn. Love that it includes a bassinet and changing table. The pack n play is super easy to install and collapse. It’s pretty lightweight and compact when folded up. Great for traveling!
Great accessibility
I love this product as it has become one of the best things we bought as first time parents for our baby
Fitted
This material is so soft and warm. I like the fresh feeling in the summer. Easy to wash.
Great featured
Love the bassinet aspect as well as playpen and changing table
Superb quality
After five children I’ve learned a lot about what it look for in the safety and function ability in children’s items. This purchase is definitely one of my favorites ! Excellent quality and wonderful price for an item you can trust !
Love our pack n play!
We love how easy it is to fold up and how handy it is for naptime and bedtime
Awesome Features!
I received this as a gift from my babyshower & i am in love! Its going to be perfect for my little guy. Easy setup and take down . Just Perfect!
Love Our Pack and Play
The little is beginning to move more and more everyday. But our pack and keeps him in his own area safely with enough room for his favorite toys. He also sleeps in there during nap time, and the fact we can break it down and travel with it is a plus. Thanks for a quality product Graco!!!
Love it
Love it, works great So easy to fold and put up i liek other
Super convenient and safe
I was given this bassinet to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. We used this for our second baby from the day we got home from the hospital. Having a safe space to put the baby down, especially with a 16 month old running around, was essential. We used the removable bassinet (while attached to the play yard) for the first 3-4 weeks or so until we started doing naps in the full size bassinet. It felt like a great transition to a larger space like his crib, but made the transition gradual. We rarely used the portable bassinet around our home as our toddler is too young to quite understand that the baby needs to be left alone, but I wished many times that we had this play yard with our first as we would have gotten lots of use out of the portability! We bought a very simple play yard with no bassinet, portable bassinet, or changing table with our first and I really wish I would’ve instead gotten a play yard like this Grace close 2 baby play yard instead - it would have saved us getting another play yard when our second came along. I will say, I’m 5’6” and found the changing table too low. We used bed risers to raise the height so it wouldn’t hurt my back. This play yard seems like a standard height, so this is more of a con for all play yards. Main pros: - Portable bassinet that is easy to relocate and easy to clean. (Very important to us as we have a baby that spits up a lot) - Portable bassinet is designated for sleep. (Not all competitors portable bassinets are) - Convenient changing station. (and easy to clean - although I still lay down a towel in case of accidents. I can remove the towel & quickly wipe down the changing station) - Both portable bassinet and changing station can be attached with the full size bassinet inserted, making it easy to choose between the portable bassinet and the full size bassinet. (this isn’t the case in other brands of similar products) - Super easy to use from smallest newborn stage through toddlerhood Cons: - Attached storage is minimal, especially at the rate babies go through diapers. - When portable bassinet is used while the full size bassinet is set up, you cannot see the baby through the side panel as the mesh is blocked. I personally like to see my sleeping child, so this was a con for me but may not be important for others. Overall, I would 100% buy this bassinet and recommend it for any parents or caregivers.
Baby loves it!
Love this pack n play! looks so fancy yet affordable. I love the portable bassinet and the changing station is very sturdy. Baby is almost 5 months old and she loves her pack n play.
Perfect Gift
I bought this for a baby shower gift. It was perfect. The mom to be loved it. It met all the requirements she was looking for. Very functional and portable.
Good product, inconvenient to clean
We’ve been using this pack n play for only a couple weeks now so haven’t tested out the main area yet. Changing table works for us, no issues. The portable bassinet is perfect for having a safe space to set your newborn down. Only complaint so far is that there aren’t any sheets/mattress protectors available to purchase for it. The mattress pad itself is machine washable, but has to air dry so makes it very inconvenient to not be able to use all day after washing. It would be great if I could purchase a second one separately.
Love it
It is perfect for the fact that there's not a lot of space. And he's just got everything you need all in one. My new grandbaby will love it
Love it!!
Love it! I’d definitely recommend. My only complaint is the diaper/wipe holder on the side doesn’t snap in well. We still got it to work well enough, but I don’t think the parts are compatible
Terrible instructions and setup.
Assembly was a nightmare. Immediately made me want to return the product. Design was awful, instructions were literally just a picture that says “assemble bassinet”. No clarity on how, which way things snap together, nothing. Whoever is working on user design should be fired. It’s not that hard to make a usable users manual. 0/10.
No instructions!!!
Why would this company ship there products with no instructions on how to put it together??? Very poor planning and very poor organization. Regardless of any quality of the product this sets the tone for the whole experience and it was one epic fail.
Unhappy customer
I thought a pack and play newborn set would be a great idea but was wrong. The startle reflex in a newborn is constantly triggered because the bassinet and higher attachment swing when the baby moves. My baby cries inconsolably when using these items. Not to mention it is difficult to put together, or pack up. The whole kit doesn’t fit in the bag that it comes with and overtime the bag will tear due to the thin material. I wish I could get my money back from this item. I would never use this while traveling. Horrible product.
Everything we need
We bought this for our young niece to stay before our own little one arrives. The setup was reasonably straight forward by following the instructions. The setup is stable and it has everything we need for our little one.
Great PAC n Play for new grandbaby
It’s just what they wanted from there babylist registry. Great quality and doesn’t take up a lot of room. Also the baby can nap in it and easily can be taken anywhere if needed. Very happy with this purchase
Great
Love the different levels. Makes it much easier to change baby. And good for your back.
Perfect for a newborn!
So versatile with the changing area and sleeping area. Perfect for newborn as you don't have to bend over to change baby and you have a movable area for napping.
A great piece to use throughout infancy!
We were given this pack n play for our baby shower and have used it since day 1! We kept it in our living room when she was a newborn for diaper changes and close naps to us in the newborn bassinet insert, and now she is using the infant crib in our room for night sleep. We have also traveled with this set multiple times without issue! We absolutely love it.
Versatile
I brought this play-yard because it is so versatile. This is my third baby. I love that it has a bassinet/portable Moses basket that can be used inside and outside of the play-yard. I am planing to use it for day time naps. So baby will be close while I do housework and supervise my other children. The changing station with storage will come in handy. I plan to use the tiered play-yard options. It is beautiful. I love the gender neutral design. It matches my living room. It is high quality. It fits in my small home. It takes a little while to figure out how to put it together just right, but I was able to do it alone while I am heavily pregnant. I am sure the next time I need to put it together, it will be even easier. I love it so much, I think it is going to be my favorite piece of baby gear perfect for my sweet baby boy.
Difficult to assemble
Did not come with instruction manual of how to assemble Very frustrating
Horrible Customer Service
Directions to put together are terrible. Canopy for bassinet was trapped underneath the frame of the bassinet due to poor instructions. Once frame of bassinet is set up, it cannot be assembled so I cannot use the bassinet. I reached out multiple times to customer service and after several attempts a new bassinet was supposed to be delivered however they did not send the frame, just the fabric/canopy which is unusable without the frame.
Favorite Pack n Play
We love this pack and play! We have twins and it’s perfect for both of them, easy to travel with, and very easy to manage. I would highly recommend this pack n play for your little one! The bassinet part was my most favorite.
Very versatile!
Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this bassinet. It has been super helpful to me since bringing my newborn home from the hospital. The bassinet is portable and we’re able to move it around the house when needed which is great. It has a breathable mesh around it and a soft memory foam like bottom and seems like the baby is very content and comfortable when resting in it. The diaper changing part of the play yard is very helpful as well. I can’t wait to see how this will come in handy as my baby grows! Overall, this product is super versatile and I love it!
We bought the exact same Pack n Play that our son and daughter-in-law did for their first child. When we visited them, we noticed they used the Pack n Play many times daily - it was set up in their living room for diaper change and napping in the bassinet. We bought this for our home so that when they visited, they do not need to bring theirs. They just visited for 2 weeks and were grateful to have it here!
Poor quality
No instructions, hey Newell leadership, bring one to the board room and see if the executive team can assemble the pack n play combo unit…. No instructions for you either. When you can figure it out go back to work and lead with the customer experience as this was awful and yet so simple to resolve..
Great but…
I love that I have this as her bassinet and crib and it’s great to have the diaper changing area. My only complaints are that you don’t sell sheets for the bassinet. And I also wish the sun shade on the bassinet was removable.
Easy napping
This is perfect for a newborn and into toddler ages! It has a handy changing table and bassinet. It’s easy to carry on the go. I like it for the living room during nap times as well. It’s quite sturdy and the mattress is very soft.
Not user friendly
We built this a few weeks ago when our son came. Putting it together is easy enough as long as you’re good without instructions and finding random YouTube videos to help. Cleaning is a nightmare as there is was no easy way to get the bassinet off the frame without taking the whole thing apart. As long as your kid is an angel and doesn’t need a blowout change, this works fine enough.
Bassinet and so much more!
This bassinet playard is wonderful. I like the height to which it raises your baby for changing. My baby loves laying in the changing station and doesn’t fuss while lying there. The organizing tray is good for holding clean diapers and assorted creams you may need. The wheels make it easy to move around.
Poor assembly instructions /cheap construction
Daughter in law registered for this for baby shower . Instructions are not clear for easy assembly . Upon assembling the changer rail , the button snapped on the changer rail with plastic corner . Ordered a new replacement changer rail . Too bad the rails weren’t already preassembled . Disappointed to say the least to have to pay extra for something brand new with poor construction.
Everything in One!
I bought this as a gift for my sister-in-law to use for my nephew that arrives in November. Her sister has one and has used it for both daughters and loves hers and recommended this. It was highly rated, so I cannot wait for my sister to use it! It has everything in one!
Disappointed
Bought this on Amazon. We've had this for less than 4 months and the mesh fabric that the mattress rests one came apart from one of the plastic hooks that keep the full thing up making this unsafe to use. It can easily come apart and drop the baby to the bottom of the playpen. What's worse this happened the first time we used it since we only used the bassinette so far. FYI my daughter is only 14lbs so not even a big baby. So very disappointed.
Playpen
Very sturdy and the easy wipe changing table is great. Wish the base of the playpen was a bit bigger.
Good item, could be great if…
Overall, love the item but have a few points that leave room for improvement. 1) changing pad doesn’t hold tight and has a bit of a wiggle. This didn’t matter when my newborn was under 8lbs but has become a bigger issue as my son grows. It’s y steady and shifts so the pad is not level and my son rolls to the side/middle of pack n play. Not the safest and definitely adds a new challenge while changing diapers. 2) anything baby related should be washable. The changing bad cover does not easily come off the frame, and the frame does not easily disassemble so washing the cover is near impossible. This is not ideal, especially with a little boy. (A little Velcro on the cover could solve this easily) 3) bassinet is really only suited for newborn size. Once he hits the 10-15 lb mark it will probably be too small (but still plenty of room in the pack n play). This is a daily staple in our lives with a newborn and we do love it but updating these few things would make it amazing!
Disassembly & Storing??
Came with no instructions and set up was not that easy without them. Finally have it all put together, but can't figure out how to pack the accessories (bassinet and changing pad). I found the user manual while skimming through other reviews but there's nothing about how to store the accessories and YouTube doesn't have anything for this model. So now I just have a full bassinet and changing pad loose in my vehicle??
No replacement mattress
I am soo upset. I will be due with my 2nd baby in June and need a mattress for this pack n play as it will be the primary bed for my newborn while we roomshare, but Graco doesn't have it in stock! What am I supposed to do now? I've spent over a thousand dollars on Graco products and I'm not getting any help when I most need it.
Great Option for Grandparents
Great option for babies visiting. When they outgrow the bassinet, the playpen works well.
Most used baby product in year 1
Our girl just turned 1 and we have used the heck out of our play yard. In the early stages, we used the changing table every 2 hours multiple times a day and the bassinet was great for naps or for hands free moments after diaper changes. After that phase the play yard became a great spot to roll around in. Once our girl was standing and crawling it was essentially for times when mommy desperately needed a shower. I would wheel it right into the bathroom and watch after my baby while I took care of my needs. Now we take it with us while we travel to visit family and for outdoor picnics
Great product for babies. Sleep
I have two of this item for my baby. It is super great product. We love using it. It is very safe for babies. My 11 month old sleeps in his room in this portable crib.
Great features, but needs a little improvement
I received this Graco Close2Baby Bassinet Playard in the mail through the Stellar Product Testing Panel and decided to set it up in our basement playroom. I was in the market for something to be able to change my baby's diaper on and something for him to sleep in for that room. This product is perfect for both. It is a very versatile product that has gotten a lot of use these past couple weeks. I like that it is a neutral color and goes well with our decor throughout the house. I love that the bassinet is lightweight and portable and can be used on the playard or separately. It is great for when my baby falls asleep while we are downstairs playing. I am able to lay my baby in it, then carry the whole bassinet upstairs without having to wake my baby up when we are done. The changing station storage is perfect to hold a stack of diapers, package of wipes, diaper cream, and a few other small baby necessities. The material on the changing area that is covering the pad is a plastic that is able to be wiped off. It is cold to the touch and the baby did not like laying on it. I put a burp clothe on it for diaper changes. When baby is a little older we will put baby in the playard with some toys and let the older kids romp around. That way we do not have to worry about the baby being in the way or getting hurt. As far as the set up goes, for the most part, it was relatively easy. First click the sides into place. Next, when the playard feet were flat on the floor, I tried to push the middle down, and the middle legs got caught on the flooring and wouldn't push down all the way. After you get the sides clicked in, I recommend lifting one end slightly, while you push down the middle brace to keep the middle feet from dragging. The instructions for the assembly of the changing area clips were a little confusing. I like that it has wheels on one side to make it easy to move, but I feel the wheels should be on the opposite side. It was a little awkward finding a place to lift it where the changing area and organizer are. It would be easier if the wheels were on the changing side and you lifted from the bassinet side. Overall, I really like this product and will be using it a lot. It is the perfect piece for what we needed in the playroom. For photo reference, my baby is 21 inches long in size 1 diapers.
Great to use from birth to toddler years
Thank you to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with the opportunity to review the Graco Pack ‘n Play Close2Baby Bassinet Playard. Being a mother of a one-month-old and a 22-month-old, I am all about convenience. A product that is functional and easy to use makes my life so much easier as I navigate the day with my children. The Pack ‘n Play Close2Baby Bassinet Playard certainly has some features that made my day easier. First, the built-in wheels made it very easy to move the Playard from room to room. Not only was the whole Playard easy to move, but the portable bassinet also made it convenient to take my one-month-old into another room while still staying asleep. Also, the sunshade was a nice feature to keep the light/sun out of my baby’s face without having the draw the curtains in the entire room. I particularly liked how the Playard did not require any tools to assemble. The directions came with pictures and were easy to follow. The size of the Playard is considerable; my 22-month-old, who is 30 pounds and 34 inches long, was able to nap in without touching any of the sides. The mattress pad is thick and comfortable. I especially liked how the mattress pad was held down by buttons and not Velcro. My favorite feature of the Playard was having a bassinet and changing station next to each other with the parent organizer easily in reach. The parent organizer made it easy to store diapers, wipes, cream, and hand sanitizer right beside the changing station. Having everything accessible and at my fingertips made changing my one-month-old’s diaper a snap. I also really like vinyl material inside the changing station; it made clean-up after an accident really simple. The material resisted stains which allowed me to focus on cleaning up my baby. While this product had many helpful features, there were a few that could use some improvement. The Playard was relatively difficult to unfold. The sides were difficult to lock in place and required a fair amount of force to be applied. Even when the sides were locked, the Playard tended to fall over or cave in until the bottom was pushed all the way down. This took a fair amount of maneuvering to get the Playard completely extended. The bassinet would have been easier to carry if it had a handle over the top of it instead of two handles on the side. This would have allowed it to be carried with one hand instead of two. Traveling with the entire system (bassinet, changing station, and Playard) would not be convenient as neither the bassinet nor the changing station came with travel bags. The Playard came with a nice cover to hold it together, but the changing station and bassinet did not fit in the cover. The fair amount of assembly required for these two items make it difficult to travel with as well. Overall, I would definitely recommend Graco Pack ‘n Play Close2Baby Bassinet Playard to someone who was looking for an all-in-one pack and play system to be used around their house. The pros outweigh the cons with this product, and if taken care of properly it should last baby a long time. Thank you again to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for allowing me the opportunity to review this product.
Perfect gift
I bought this for a friend - she loves it the ordering process was smooth and easy with updates from the company on the delivery
Excellent Multi-purpose Unit
I'm a first-time grandma of two new babies. This product serves and an excellent bassinet and playard combination. I'm able to give both babies a comfortable place to sleep at the same time. The changing table and organizer are an awesome bonus. I love this product and would highly recommend it to any new mom or grandma. Thank you!

Close2Baby detailed comparison and feature breakdown
I spent way too long trying to figure out the differences, so hopefully this helps someone! The Close2Baby has a raised bassinet (like a travel-sized bedside sleeper), a detachable infant seat/rocker, and a playard. The bassinet is nice because you don’t have to bend all the way down. Cons: it’s heavy, bulky, and the bassinet is outgrown fast (up to 15 lbs or when they can push up).

Recommendation for Close2Baby as bassinet replacement
I have the Graco Close2Baby Lux and love it! We used the bassinet feature for the first 4 months and it was a lifesaver. The seat that attaches to the top is great for when they’re little and you need to put them somewhere while you shower. It’s also our travel crib when we visit grandparents.

Comparison with other Graco models and bulkiness concern
I was looking at the Close2Baby but ended up going with the Day2Dream because the Close2Baby is massive. It takes up so much room in our small apartment. The Day2Dream has everything I need - bassinet and changer - without the extra bulk.

Price vs features debate for Close2Baby
I have the On the Go version and it’s fine, but if I could do it again I might splurge on the Close2Baby for the bassinet and changer. It depends if you need those extra features or if you’re just using it for travel.

Close2Baby portable bassinet positive review
We have the Close2Baby and it’s perfect for our newborn. The bassinet is at a great height, so I don’t have to bend over at night. It’s also super easy to move room to room. Highly recommend if you can get it on sale!
