Graco 5 Way Pack & Play
Date of Review: Aug 29, 2001
The Bottom Line: I love this 5 Way Pack N Play. No recalls on PNP ever so this is a name I can trust.
I purchased the Graco 5 Way Pack N Play about 5 months ago. This is the best baby buy I have made thus far. This is a must-have with all of the features a mommy can imagine. The 5 Way has a bassinett, changing station, accessory bag, and an outdoor canopy. This is easily wipeable for the messy baby situations. It folds up so neatly into a bag when I need to run out in a hurry. It took me a while to get used to the set up and take down but after talking to one of Graco's excellent representatives I learned how to set it up and take it down the correct way. I learned so much from the call that I passed the information onto my mommies group and half of the parents there were also setting it up incorrectly. They were so glad for the information. The key that I learned is the center hub is the key to locking and unlocking the side rails. If you don't push down like "a medicine bottle" like the girl described and turn it the correct way the rails will not cooperate. Well the written directions weren't as clear as the experienced rep on the hotline I called. Boy was I glad that I called. Graco is a company that I swear by and the 5 Way Pack N Play is just another of their fabulous products. I would recommend this to any parent on the go such as myself. My mother wasn't kidding when she said the playards were a God-send. It keeps the children out of the other messes that they can get into so quickly in my home. The outdoor canopy came in handy during our trips to the pool. My baby could nap while I caught some rays. Boy did I need that time and sun! What a long summer. The best thing is Graco has never had to recall a Graco Pack N Play ever in their history so this is a product I can trust.
