I purchased this playpen in October of last year, and at the time my Son absolutely hated being in it! But now that he's got a little older, and got more used to it, he doesn't mind being put in it at all for a little while when Mommy is doing some laundry or cleaning up the house.Playpens can be very useful, but I wouldn't want him to be in it for long periods of time. But it is of...

I purchased this playpen to use on trips and as a play area for my baby. I have used it from the first day he came from the hospital and consistently for the last 11 months of his life.This playpen features a removable bassinet and mobile. My baby spent alot of time just gazing  up at the mobile. It also has a pocket for storing dipaers and other baby accessories. I have washed the accesso...

In all my years of being a mother, I have had never had such a problem with a playpen that I do with my grandson's Graco playpen. Now a days parents want it to where they can fold up everything into a tiny little box and store it away so that it does not get in the way of everyday activities. Well the Graco Pack 'N Play in Safari Friends playpen folds away to almost nothing, but getting...

We had a really hard time with this playpen! It took a really long time to put together and it was not easy! I did love the accessories though. It comes with a removable bassinet for the baby to nap in and a changing table. It also has 5 songs and 5 nature sounds on a mobile with a night light. It is supposed to be very easy to transport but we did not find that easy at all. It was pretty hard ...

I love this product! I wish they had these when my first child was born, it made everything so much easier and as every parent knows anything that simplifies life is much appreciated! I liked the fact that it was compact and portable, but as I found out there was so much more that made it appealing than just that. It can fold down and fit into a carrier that is easy to carry and set up in liter...

I received the Graco square playard from a friend after my second baby was born.  It is an older model, but it still works really well.  We used it in our living room to give my youngest a 'safe' place to play, away from his older sister.   PROSThis playard is very durable.  Our little dozer has plowed has fallen onto the mesh sides of this playard time after time w...

If you have a baby, you have a Pack-N-Play.  If not, how do you get by?  I know that sounds funny as when most of us were born portable playpens weren't that portable if they existed at all.  Of course, car seats weren't around for many of us either.  There are a handful of brands and styles of play pens.  I have found both of the Graco models we've owned ve...

Want a happy baby? Lay them in a play pen under a tree when there's a breeze- they can watch the leaves swaying gently, watch the birdies flying overhead, watch the hornet as it lands on the playpen and starts making its way down the side- wait, what?!?! Summer is here, and with it come the bugs. Skeeters, hornets, bees, black flies, you name it. If you have a baby under 6 months of ag...

When we chose this playpen, we thought it looked great, and the price was a bit cheaper than some other ones that we knew were good (like Graco). Plus, I liked the color scheme. We thought we were getting a good deal. The main issue I have with this playpen is the fact that there is absolutely no support to it whatsoever. The bassinet part, which is installed over the bottom area of the playpen...

When I found out I was pregnant with my second child, I decided I wanted to match every thing I could.  I found I liked the Santa Fe pattern Baby Trend had. Since pregnant women usually get what they want, we got the Santa Fe Nursery Center & Playard by Baby Trend.This playpen is an all-in-one system.  You get the play yard, a bassinet, a changing station with a supply holder, a m...

With almost 7 or 8 years between the birth of the twins and the newest edition to our family, I had to repurchase a lot of the baby gear that I had gotten rid of. One such item was a play pen. I wanted an area on the main floor for the baby where he could sleep so I didn't have to rush him upstairs to the nursery. So, one day while in Babies R' Us, I spotted the Eddie Bauer Soothe and S...
