We got this pack-n-play for our first child and it has worked well for us. I love the vibrating feature and the music/nature sounds are of good quality. The fabric is sturdy and has handled travel very well. Its also very pretty.
On the down side it is very challenging to fold back up and put inside carrying bag. Also, because of the positionin of the sound box you cannot have the changing table in place and the sound box.
so far so good!!

my son is 2 1/2 weeks and we use the heck out of this product. i love the changing table attachment and he is still small enough to use the attachment for naps. love that the music/sound machine is detachable, the sounds are very soothing for baby. my son has urinated on this many times and all the surfaces are easy to clean up. colors are neutral and very attractive. i also love the side attachment, we use it for diapers and wipes. set up is a no brainer, my mom and me set it up in about 15 minutes.
it's OKAY.

Well i'll start by saying i shouldn't have picked the first pretty one i saw. I should have looked into all the different playard's and what they had to offer all around. This one is okay. You can't have the music part plugged in while the changer is on. It's a weird shape so it makes it feel more bulky. I have also noticed it sinks in the middle because of the way the bars beneath it are. I'm not so fond of the music it play's, it really annoys me actually. However i do like how it vibrates, my son really likes that, it helps him sleep except lately the vibrating part has been acting weird, you'll have to press the button for the vibrating thing like a million times for it to work & it's not that the batteries are going out cause they're brand new! I saw that a fisherprice one had a mobile on it, i wish this boppy one had one, i had to put a hole in the cannopy part and hang a mobile for my son, lol but hey it worked. I found playard sheets for it at babies r us, i took a big blanket and folded it to the size of the mat part & then put the playard sheet on top so it's soft. I'm okay with it & my son seems to like it, but like i said i will definitely check all my other options next time around.
What a pain in the neck

My 5th child is here, this is my 3rd play yard. What a pain in the neck. There are so many bells and whistles that are not needed. We went away and took it with us, it was heavy and bulky, more then the normal play yard. We just set up the play yard and nothing else, my daughter slept well in it however, she didn't move, she couldn't. There is a dip in the center (yes with the support bars). I don't like that she can't move, especially now that she is a bit older. I want her to be able to wiggle around if she happens to get her swaddle off and over her head or something.
The changing table doesn't fit well when it's in position. It seems "off" somehow. For the amount of money you spend on this, get a normal play yard. This doesn't cut it in my book!
happy so so

the product is nice. My only problem is the sheets. I haven't found sheets that fit. (even the Khoala ones don't fit well) You have to make sure that the sheet doesn't cover the velcro part of the mattress (on the bottom) and they all cover it. I think that I'll be using blankets but I had bought really nice sheets that I now have to return.... Other than it's good and i paid $25 less than the original price. Oh it fits through our doors, so that's a plus
Very pleased

We are very pleased with this playard. It's sturdy seems very safe. Was very difficult to set up, as the sides did not lock, and the directions were not clear. Once you know the trick, however, it works like a dream. There's a strap in the middle bottom of the playard, that you must pull all the way up before the sides will snap into place. Did find that the changing table seems cumbersome, but we don't really plan on using that feature, so this isn't a problem for us. We really like the colors, which are gender neutral and will blend nicely with our home.
Nice playard--bad instructions!

Baby not born yet so we haven't actually used it. The item--once assembled--is very sturdy and cute and wonderful and I think our baby will really like it. However, I must say--We had a heck of a time putting this one together! If only the instructions had been a bit clearer my husband would not have had to say "Boppy my *** (insert bad word here)--I am NOT in a Happy Place". This was of course hilarious once we figured out what we were supposed to do and breathed a sigh of relief that we didn't have to return it and select a different model! Other than that--so far we love it. : )
Love this Playard

We love this playard. At first it was difficult to set up until we realized it was operator error. Once we realized that we had read the directions wrong, setting up the playard was extremely simple. A previous customer's post commented that she is too short to assemble the playard. I'm under 5'4" and I can put it up and take it down very easy in less than 5 minutes. The colors are beautiful and very gender neutral.
We decided to use this in place of a traditional bassinet due to the fact that it can turn into a playard when she outgrows the bassinet. We have taken it with us on multiple vacations and it packs up nicely. My daughter sleeps in it every night (at least until we move her into her own crib). I like the incline feature in the bassinet as well.
The only negative feature is you have to remove the music/vibration controls when you use the changing table, for us it isn't a big deal because she has a changing table in her room we use.
All in all, we have felt this playard is well worth the money we spent on it and I would definitely recommend it.
Only 1 complaint

We use the changing table feature a lot but wish that the music/vibration hook up was placed in a different spot. You have to take the music player off every time you put the changing table down. However, the music is very soothing, the vibration is comforting and we really do like this playard. It was very easy to set up and took less 1/2 hr.
Too expensive for what it is!!!

First off, this is the most confusing thing to put together! For all that money it should have been simple. Also, you can not use the changing table if you want to use the music box as well. You have to take one or the other off to make it work. I end up not even using the box at all. It's a super cute pack n play but not as functional as some of the cheaper ones out there!
