The Graco Pack N Play Crib

I’ve lost count on how many times I’ve given a portable crib as a baby shower gift. In fact, all the portable cribs I’ve ever given out were Graco Pack ‘N Play Playards. It’s really easy to see why this is the bestselling crib of its type out in the market today. And it all starts with its sturdy and comfortable construction.

A few months ago, it was my turn to receive a Graco Pack ‘N Play Playard from my friends. Just like most moms who rely on baby cribs at home, I needed one for the road. We often go to my mother’s house because there are a few nights out of the month when I am not home to stay with the baby. So the baby and her portable and easy crib go to Grandma’s house. Some baby cribs are advertised as being portable, but they’re truly not – most of the time. This one has its own carrying case! Just fold, zip and it’s ready to go inside the trunk!

Portability aside, I was extremely concerned about my baby’s safety. Safety and security features were a higher priority, so I had been glad when the feedback from my pals confirmed the Graco Pack ‘N Play Playard meets and exceeds safety standards for baby cribs which are portable. This is because of how small the mesh actually is which prevents any buttons on the baby’s clothing from getting stuck at the bottom. In addition, the mesh is secure on top where the rails are and also at the bottom. That is to make sure that the newborn fall out of the crib.

Another factor I needed to consider was simplicity of use. My mother is 65 years of age, and she wanted one which she could easily setup. This portable baby crib has Graco’s proprietary push button folding system that’s easy to comprehend and simple to use. My mother boasts that she can set this up within a minute. It really is a very handy feature when concerning a variety of baby cribs.

A couple of days ago, I read some reviews stating that a few people had concerns about how low this portable crib sits on the floor. I really like that it sits low though because, personally, this means added stability. I really could not do without my Graco Pack ‘N Play Playard. I feel pleased once I see my baby sleeping easily inside the bassinet that is included with it, and then I come to realize that my 65 year old mother could not have had such a hard time setting up it after all.
