Customer Reviews
Nice little bed
The bed itself is cute and fairly well constructed. I'm thrilled with the quality and especially at such a reasonable price. Easy to put together, all the right pieces and parts were included and the wood is evenly stained and looks so good I'm thinking about ordering other pieces. Shipping was a nightmare and since it came directly from the manufacturer there wasn't much Amazon could do to help me, although they did reorder it for me when we thought it was lost. Tracking info was unavailable due to the fact that the manufacturer said it was shipped on ups and actually shipped on FedEx. Finally all was resolved and I'm happy with the bed.

Matches other stockcraft products perfectly.
I made the mistake of only buying a 2-in-1 crib/bed for my son. When he started to climb out of the crib at 14 months, we had to put him in a bed, but full size seemed just too big. This toddler bed is the perfect transition and he loves it! He can climb in and out easily and sleeps like a baby :) It matches the rest of my stockcraft (Deborah) furniture set perfectly. I researched around and Amazon has the best deal and best shipping. It was here super fast!

The only regret that I have was that I didn't buy a 4-in-1 crib (that converts to a toddler bed) to begin with.

Very Nice
I purchased this bed two years ago when I was pregnant with my second and needed a bed for my 16-month-old. It's a great bed, and it's still holding up. Only problem was that my 16-month-old would occasionally fall out of bed in the middle of the night, but that was my fault for putting her in a toddler bed before it was really time. Now she's three and she loves it.

Customer Reviews
Glad I found this!
The "newborn napper" feature is what sold me. I was trying to decide between a pack n play and a bassinet, so when I saw that Graco had combined the two, I knew I found the right product. The "napper" is a great height for having the baby sleep alongside our bed. With practice, I'm able to reach my daughter in the middle of the night without even getting out of bed. The diaper stacker and wipes holder is just the right sized for a stack of diapers and a pack of wipes. I didn't put it together so I can't comment on the assembly. It has the two wheels, so I'm able to move it around pretty easily. Even if the napper feature is only used occasionally, I think this is a pretty useful product for the price. Keep in mind that although the weight limit for the napper isn't that low, its still a bassinet and baby will probably outgrow it quickly.

good overall
I chose this particular Pack'n'Play because I liked the color, but at the time I also liked the idea of the newborn napper. I have never used the newborn napper as it seems safer to put my baby in the actual bassinet while he is sleeping. It is quite a hassle (for me anyway) to install and uninstall, so it went right into the closet and there it has stayed. The unit itself is nice though and my baby seems to like sleeping in it.
P.S. If you are looking for a sheet to put on the bassinet matress, the American Baby Company 100% Cotton Percale Porta-Crib Sheet fits it very well.

Best on the market!
I am pregnant with my fourth child and have used a few different play yards from a couple of different manufacturers. I needed a new one for my upcoming arrival to keep downstairs in the living room. I was initially attracted to this particular pack 'n play because of the newborn napper. I am quite impressed! Putting the entire thing together was very easy and it took about 10 minutes from start to finish (I'm sure having previous experience with pack 'n plays helped- I only had to figure out how to assemble the changing station and newborn napper). The construction is sturdy and durable. I think the newborn napper is an excellent idea. It will cradle the baby perfectly and looks very comfortable! I'm expecting to get about 3 months use out of the napper, as it is truly meant for a newborn who is not yet able to roll over. The Broadstreet print is, in my opinion, gender neutral as it is an aqua color with brown and off white. Some may prefer it for boys, but I think the colors work well for a girl(so long as you're not looking for a "girly" style). I am very happy with this pack 'n play and I'm looking forward to using it. It is definitely the best pack 'n play for the money.

Customer Reviews

Just okay for me
If you have to share the bathtub/shower with your baby, the curtain won't close around this item. We only have 1 bathroom and can't use it for that reason. Would be good if the child had their own bathroom though.

great buy
we love this basket. It holds lots of toys and has removable dividers which I really like having. It is light and fits any tub. What a great design.

Great way to distance child away from the bath faucet!
We've had this for about 6 months now and it's working out great. No mildew yet. It's ideal to drain the toys after bath time. Was super easy to install. It also was a bonus because we place it in front of the bath faucet, so if my son wants to reach the faucet, there is a bit of distance. I think the price is a little high for a piece of plastic, but I'd purchase this again.
