Graco Pack 'n Play® Portable Playard, Kolb

I’m so happy with this pack and play! One of the biggest things I love is how lightweight it is, it makes moving it around the house or taking it on the go super easy. Setup is quick and simple, which is a huge win, especially when you’re juggling a baby or toddler. It doesn’t take any effort to get it ready, and that convenience makes a big difference. The bottom mattress is also surprisingly comfortable. It has enough cushioning that I feel good about my baby/toddler sleeping in it, whether it’s for naps or overnight use. On top of that, the overall quality is great. It feels sturdy and well-made, so I never worry about safety or stability when my little one is in it. Highly recommend if you’re looking for something portable, easy to use, and comfortable for your child!

This was bought for my grandchildren and has been a valued purchase priced reasonably and setup was fast and easy. Very happy with the Graco products and the quality put into each piece. Soft and comfortable with reassurance that your children are happy and safe.

It took me forever to find just a playpen. By the time I had the space and my son was old enough, I didn’t need the napping or changing stations. But eventually I found one at Target and decided to check on here before buying and not only was it cheaper, and in the print I liked, but had a coupon too! I love the wheels a lot, we leave it set up and just roll it out of the walkway when he’s not in it and it makes moving it so much nicer and is more gentle to the linoleum floors. I can not express enough how much I LOVE the snaps on the bottom that secure the mattress to the legs so it can’t be pulled up. No more stashing toys and snacks and no more getting little hands crushed when trying to disessemble during a tantrum. And the little pocket that goes on the side is fun for all. It reminded me of one of those remote pouches for the sides of couches etc so I bought him one of those little toy remotes and put it in there for him and he loves it. He can reach the top and pulls it up to take toys in and out and it’s become a fun game to hide toys there to find later. It was an ease to set up after discovering the snaps and how they work since the one I had been borrowing didn’t have them. The instructions were actually helpful though they could’ve been a little better. It came packaged in its original box which by the time it got to me was a little beat up, but the playpen was still in amazing shape. The only this I have not done is collapse it to put it in the travel bag, but the one time I did collapse it it was super easy and fast. Love Graco, love Amazon, love this product.

Great size and quality

I’ve been using this Graco Pack ‘n Play for a little while now, and overall I’m really happy with it. As a busy mom, I needed something safe, easy to set up, and versatile—and this checks all those boxes. First, the setup was surprisingly simple. I was able to get it up and ready in just a few minutes without needing help, which is a huge win. Folding it back down is also pretty straightforward once you get the hang of it, and it fits nicely into the travel bag. The quality feels sturdy and well-made. The frame is stable, and I feel confident using it for both sleep and playtime. The mesh sides are great because I can easily see my child from across the room, and they also provide good airflow. I especially like how multifunctional it is. It works well as a safe play space during the day and a comfortable sleeping area at night. Depending on the model, the added features like the bassinet or changing station are really convenient and save space—definitely helpful if you don’t want a bunch of separate baby gear. In terms of comfort, I would say the included mattress is fine for short-term use, but if you’re planning to use it regularly for sleep, you might consider adding a fitted sheet or extra padding (following safety guidelines, of course). The only downside for me is that it’s a bit bulky when fully set up, so it takes up a decent amount of space. But that’s pretty typical for Pack ‘n Plays and not a dealbreaker. Overall, this is a reliable, practical option that I would recommend to other parents looking for a safe and convenient all-in-one solution. It’s especially great for travel or keeping a second sleep/play space in another room.

I've owned 3 Graco Pack 'n Plays over the past 35 years. I've been very pleased with all of them. This latest one seems less square than some of the past ones, but dimensions are as advertised and it works perfectly as a portable crib, which is why I bought it. It is super easy for one person to set up and take down without help. My only wish would be for a more comfortable pad/mattress on the bottom. But I solved that problem by buying a separate 3" mattress that fits snugly into the Pack 'n Play, leaving no gaps (Moonlightfamily 3 Inch 38" Lx26 W Mattress). I highly recommend this product.

I was looking for a simple, lightweight pack-n-play and I was overall very pleased with the quality and functionality of this one! What I love: - Ease of use: I found the set-up/take down super straight forward. - Convenience: I like that the mattress pad doubles as a carrying. The wheels on one side (like a wheelbarrow) are super convenient for rolling the pack-n-play around without disrupting baby and without having to deal with locking/unlocking wheels. It also seems easy to clean and that it will hold up well overtime. -Versatility: the bassinet feature is a huge plus— it is large enough that I can lay down a changing pad and change baby right there -Lightweight: I can carry the pack n play up and down the stairs myself without even having to fold it down. -Appearance: I like that it’s a more minimalist design— my baby loves to look at the hanging stars but I like that being a removable feature. Could be improved upon: -Mattress pad: The accordion-style mattress pad that comes with the pack-n-play does not lie completely flat. Adding a fitted sheet makes this problem even worse and creates little waves. The pad is waterproof so you don’t necessarily need a fitted sheet but it would be nice if Graco made some options to better fit this mattress pad. Even without the fitted sheets, it’s still difficult to get the pad to lie completely flat this leaves small gaps between the pad and side of the pack-n-play (also an issue in bassinet mode). -Design: For some extra peace of mind, I wish the mesh went all the way down the sides or the mattress pad was thicker and sat up a little further— so the mattress pad meets mesh all the way around instead of an inch or two of the black fabric. Overall thoughts: For the price point, I’m very pleased with this Graco pack-n-play. It’s sturdy, great quality, easy to use, and lightweight. Given the issues with the mattress pad, I’ll probably look into something else for overnight use as my little one gets bigger and starts rolling around. However, this is perfect for use during the day for naps and playtime and I know I’m going to continue to get great use with this product!

If you’re like me, you have probably spent a couple hours already researching about the “best” or “most portable” pack n plays. I’ve been looking to buy a basic pack n play that is affordable, easy to put together and we can take with us in a car when traveling places. Reading reviews online, this pack n play rarely comes up, even though it meets all my criteria. So I decided to buy and I can say it was the best decision. It is super affordable, looks well designed with good quality materials, super easy to unfold/unpack and the little mattress it has is not uncomfortable. I like that it is a couple inches off the floor so that the baby doesn’t get cold, and for safety reasons as well, since bugs can’t really crawl in there. The mattress has 4 little clips that can clip to the crib’s legs to secure it in place and make it extra safe for the baby. It did not make any noise when the baby was moving around at night. Very easy to unfold as well. If I were to point at a couple cons, when I first put it up, it did have a faint chemical smell that you would expect from a new, out-of-the-box, crib that pretty much went away in 24h. Also, I am not sure if this is something you can take on a plane as a carry-on but you could probably gate check? Overall, I am very happy with it and I think it’s the best value-for-money pack n play out there.
