My Daughter Just Loves to Be In It
Now here’s the key thing about this play yard, a my daughter just loves to play in her Graco Pack ‘n Playard. She doesn’t put up a fuss when I put her in it, she doesn’t feel trapped, and want to be taken out. It’s got tons of bright colors and some really great built-in toys. My six month old is absolutely entranced with the toys. She likes to make to make noise, she loves to hit them, and she loves to squish them. She could play with the crunchy butterfly all day long.
A lot of the reviews online seem to mention the bottom pad sagging a bit. But my bottom pad is nice and soft and pretty thick. It’s holding up really well considering all of the bouncing. And my six-month-old must weigh at least 20 pounds by now. Also, the pad is easy to clean.
Worth Every Penny
Bottom line is, the Graco Pack ‘n Playard is absolutely worth the money. It’s built to last, tons of fun, and my daughter loves it. And what’s the price of peace of mind knowing that your daughter isn’t crawling down the stairs or exploring In awhile you’re washing the dishes?
The Playpen That Takes a Licking and Keeps on Ticking
As mentioned in a lot of the reviews online, the Graco Pack ‘n Playard is built like a tank. It’s much sturdier than most of the playpens I saw in the stores. This is important to me because I’m planning on taking this thing outside quite a bit this spring. The mesh walls are pretty strong and have lasted through tons of poking and prodding and pulling. The toys are sewn on so well that my daughter can’t tear them off-and believe me, she’s tried. This playpen is seriously very well made.
Super Easy and Super Portable
The Graco Pack ‘n Playard is very easy to set up and pull down, hence the name. The first time I set it up, it took a couple minutes, and now it only takes about 30 seconds. It opens and closes just like an umbrella. The mattress pad wraps around and then locks it together. There’s also a handle so you can carry it around. I don’t find it too heavy and I can carry around with only one hand. Pretty convenient. When its closed, it doesn’t take up too much space its real easy to just throw in the trunk and go.
Uh-Oh, Looks Like Somebody Needs a Playpen
Every day my-six-month-old daughter keeps getting more and more active. She keeps exploring further and further into the areas of our house. While I generally want to encourage her to go wherever she pleases, and there are times when I just want to know that she’s safely in one place. So, as always, I hit the Internet to see what’s available.
Um… Can I Super-Size It?
First thing I noticed, was that all the playpens seems much smaller than I was expecting. I want my daughter to feel like she cooped up and not want to be in her playpen and make a fuss. Its really hard to tell the size of the playpens online, so I used a tape measure to estimate the size of each one.
This is Biggest Play Yard I’ve Seen
Well the Graco Pack ‘n Playard is by far the biggest play yard I found. It’s about three by three feet square. I couldn’t really tell from the pictures on line if it was going to be big enough for my six-month-old, but when it arrived I was pleasantly surprised. There’s tons of room in this playard, lots of room for crawling around and exploring. I don’t want to feel like my daughter is just confined to just a small area, so this is just right for me.
