Great Product with Problems

I love and still use this Pack n Play. We live in a one bedroom apartment, so this was a great product to combine a crib, bassinet, and changing table all in one. As others have said, the newborn napper is EXTREMELY difficult to take on and off, so don't plan on switching it out frequently. However, for long term use, it is amazing. My newborn loved to sleep in it, day and night. When she was two months old, we switched her to the bassinet level, which she also loved. Now, at eight months old, she is at the bottom level, where she will be for another year or so! This was definitely a great investment for us.
The changing table is awesome, and we are still using it. However, the side compartment is completely useless. It is flimsy and holds nothing more than a few diapers. Don't plan on using it. Actually, the only reason I paid more for this model was for the side compartment. If i could do it again, I would buy one of the cheaper models that has a newborn napper and changing station, but without the storage. It's not worth the money because it's literally useless.

It Feels Elite

I love this Pack N Play and all that you get with it - it makes for something you can use from birth to toddler. The bassinet, changer and the storage on the side make it convenient to have as a 2nd sleeping/changing place on our first floor. My only complaint, and the part I probably just wont use is the little napper. It is a lot of work to install and the shade doesnt really stay on well. I would rather just swaddle little baby and put in the bassinet instead of going to the work of installing an extra piece

poorly thought out design

where do i begin..the napper is hard to remove if needed. should have been made to more easily remove when needed. the veil on the napper is poorly secured. can barely support the clip on mobile style toys. if anything even remotely touches the veil it falls off. the vibration devise is chinsey and cheap. the plug in music player DOES NOT hold all music devices. the side storage hamper would be nice but it can't even hold the weight of a few diapers and some wipes. would a wire/rod support frame been to much to ask? only thing thats decent on this thing is the changing table

My baby will be due here in about two weeks so I have yet to actually use it but I just set it up last night and I love it! I loved the way it looked in the picture and was hoping for the same effect when I got it home and set up and it did! It has everything your little one will need and is super soft and cozy. The storage basket is also a major plus, holds tons of items! The only downside I found was the setup was a little tricky but nothing too difficult.

Perfect All In One!

This pack 'n play was perfect for our newborn! We didn't have much space in our condo at the time and this was such a better fit than a big, bulky crib! It has a napper station that comforts newborns, and the changing station was so convenient! We also loved that as our son grew - we could convert this to a bassinet and then, ultimately to a regular pack and play that we can take anywhere!

Nice playard, but has its problems

We registered for this one specifically for the newborn napper with vibration feature/light/music. Unfortunately the vibration feature stopped working. We replaced batteries and it just makes a funny noise but doesn't vibrate. So we've resorted to removing the changer and napper and each night we have to place his vibrating bouncer in the pack n play. Wish we had better luck with this thing working.. It was a good idea.

A Newborn Must Have

My mom bought this for my husband and I for our 1st born. We knew we wanted our baby in our room for his first few months, however we did not want his beg crib in there. We also thought he would outgrow a bassinet too fast. The Graco Packn Play with newborn napper elite is perfect. Everything on it is a must have. Having a changing table with the storage hamper makes 3am diaper changes quick, easy and comfy or baby. The bassinet was perfect for our newborn. I especially like how it is contoured so he baby did not have to sleep flat on his back. I also like how sturdy it is and how easy it was to I stall and remove. I love how the vibrations move to different stages with the baby.
Overall a great buy. You can't go wrong with this.

I received this pack 'n play for a baby shower gift and love it. My daughter is now 2.5 and still fits in it comfortably. She used this the first 3 months of her life overnight.

I purchased this in the Elefanta fashion. Love the print, but hate the ivory background. I mistakingly thought it was dark brown, but that was only for the bassinet part. Love the newborn napper, although the pushpins are difficult to undo. Same thing with the changer, it worked well when baby was little, but when I was ready to use the bassinet portion, you have to remove the changer and reattach each time, difficult and time consuming, wish it would just rotate over the end of playard instead. Now we're using at as a playpen and I just dislike how quickly the fabric is looking dirty. Wish it were washable.

Nice Pack n Play

This is overall a very good Pack n Play. The Newborn Napper has been a life saver for a variety of reasons. He's even fell asleep in it a couple of times. The changer is great. It is at a comfortable height to make changing easy on even the worst of backs. One problem I found was the storage on the side does not function correctly. You can't put much because the sides will not stay up. There is no where on the storage compartment to hold wipes which are a necessity for diaper changing. If the engineers would improve this issue, this would be the perfect Pack 'n Play.
