Side by Side Comparison of: ESK Collection vs Graco

I wish I could give it 10 stars. It is exactly as described but the description majorly understates how awesome it is in my opinion.Anyone with a cat or small to medium size dog should own one. It is very light weight and setup takes all of 2 minutes. Just pull it out of the bag, open it up (it will pop open with very little effort) and zip the top and bottom into place. Putting it away is just as easy,This is actually our second one. We bought the first one a few weeks ago for our old cat who can't seem to make it to her litter box anymore. We needed to contain her before she ruined our floors so we got the 24"x45" and it's just the right size to fit a litter box, bed and scratcher with a little room left to move around. I really liked it (and she was finding the box), however, I was concerned that she wasn't getting any exercise. If it was just a temporary setup like for travel or something then it wouldn't be an issue but it's her permanent home now. So, we bought a second playpen and a popup agility training tunnel for dogs, and linked the two pens together. I wish I had gotten a smaller tunnel, but, other than the tunnel length, it's a perfect setup and she loves it. She walks back and forth and even plays with some toys in the tunnel. Best cat containment/play center you could ask for.Did I mention that I can take it all down, fold it up and stash it in a corner of the closet in about 5 minutes?Next on the list is to get a third one so I can stack it on top of one of these. I'll clip them together with binder clips, leave off the top of the lower pen and bottom of the upper pen. Then put a medium size cat tree in it to create a kitty play land! The possibilities are endless!

I absolutely love this thing!! I have an 8 week old Australian Cattle Dog who loves to chew and is too curious for his own good, and he can't/hasn't chewed through this yet! He loves this pen, it keeps him out of trouble and he knows that it's his safe place. I was worried about space as he grows but there is ample room for him, his bed, and all of his toys. I rolled up one of the doors and slid it up against his open crate so he can go in and out as he pleases during the day and he loves that. When I'm away I just zip the top on and leave him in there and he just naps until I come home. If you had a more rambunctious puppy or dog that had separation anxiety I wouldn't leave them in this while you're away because they could knock it over depending on their weight. It stands strong against my little guy, however he doesn't challenge it and only jumps against it when I lean over the side to pick him up. I cannot image how difficult my life would be without this! I love it!!

I have a 14 year old cattle dog/dalmation who has been having accidents during the night. I had him in a large indoor rectangular kennel before but that was a major drag trying to clean up after he would have a mess.Although this is designed for puppies it has been very very helpful in being able to contain my older, incontinent dog so that he doesn't get "stuck" in the corner like he did with the kennel, and with the zipper on the top I can simply unzip the "roof", grab him by the harness and lift him out and then clean up the mess. This is a well made octagonal soft sided playpen that works well for what I was wanting/needing.The ONLY drawback is that it's not very tall and so my dog leans his head against the roof while staining, but it works. They should make a taller version for bigger dogs!!Also - this is a great item to travel with since the whole thing folds down and zips into a storage bag. It keeps its shape well/doesn't fall over and is very balanced even with the roof open so dog can't just knock the whole over/fall over. Good product.

My Pomeranian puppy loves her new pen! You can see how much room she has in it from the pictures. Right now, I'm sitting with her, reassuring her that this is a safe, comfy place to be. Later, she'll start getting used to it, and I won't feel worried when leaving her alone at home, when I have to go somewhere. It comes with a carrying case, a top and bottom, and I love how everything zips up. She's a jumper... A really high jumper, even at age 14 weeks, but she can't jump out of it. I'll probably put the top on it if I have to leave her alone, though. I'm so happy I got her this pen!

Absolutely LOVE this travel pen. I have a chihuahua who gets plenty of room in this! She loves it. It's very durable. You can unzip the bottom of the cage- when I put her outside in the grass. And the top also zips on and off.Love love love it. Well worth the 40. And was much bigger than I thought it would be also. ❤️

Let me start by saying it took me hours to finally choose this particular one because I read many reviews. I chose this one because I am using it for my cat who had surgery and she needs to be confined but also needs room to still be a cat.. I wanted a zipper top & bottom. This product is definitely exactly what I expected & then some. It is not cheap, it's just as it's supposed to be! I showed the girls at the vet & they are ordering themselves one for their cat & dog. This product allows my furry baby to see us from all angles & vice versa. Its big enough for my cat, her litter box (which is big), her bowls & still room to flop & lounge... So happy with my purchase... If you are looking at this purchase it! This is a real review.

Great item perfect for my 18 month old to sleep in while at Nanas house

Great to have a large old school type pack and play. Not much difference in size than the current narrower type models, but so nice for early crawlers to have more room to play (and sleep if you add a mattress.)

Very nice spacious playpen. Folds up easily and fits in a bag. Bought it for visiting grandchild. They liked it so much, they packed it up and took it back with them when they flew out.

If you want a sturdy beautiful playpen this is the one to buy, we bought it and it worked great till she started walking, we will save it for next grand baby , is a good buy, very pleased. Thank you, Sandy T

Its a good quality pack and play. I love the bright colors- our little one just is so happy looking at the wonderful colors. She is able to reach for the toys that attached to the inside of the playard. I was amazed at how big it is. Its easy to move if we need to move it around the house. I am so happy I purchased it. It was hard to decide which playard to select. This was a perfect choice for our little one. Plus it is easy to clean. The pad is soft and the little squares are adorable... Love it!!!

So far so good. Granted I have only had my little munchkin in there for an hour here and there. Since he can't sit up yet (3.5 months) I am easing him into it with his bouncy seat and eventually his play gym. The real test will be when we go away this weekend and he sleeps in it. I hope he likes chilling in there since I work from home.The set up was easy the one side (red side) didn't snap right away, but we noticed that with our other Gracco pack and play travel crib. We had to collapse it once and snap it while collapsed and then all good. The padding is nice and soft and I think will be fine for him. I ordered a sheet but haven't put it on yet. I may for this weekend for sleep.

This is a great option for a metal crate. My maltese poodle lost being at home alone privileges because whenever we are not around, he jumps up on our furniture even though he knows he is not supposed to. I felt bad about leaving him in a small metal crate while we are not around, so we opted for this soft crate because it has much more space than a metal crate. He actually LOVES this crate and loves to lay in it when we are home. Its like his little relaxing dome now. During the day i open it up and zip him in, and when I get home i can fold it back up and put it away. You can zip off the top and bottom and throw them in the washer for a delicate cycle to get rid of the "dog stink" too. It is also super easy to pack up and take on the road with you. Great purchase for the money.

I love the product but would NOT purchase from this vendor. I'm having a problem with my item, however, cannot get a response from the seller, as I've read has happened in some reviews. This item is great IF you can leave it open. The directions to close it are not clear and for the life of me can't figure out which is the correct way to close it without damaging it as in the couple of times I've used it, I've already broken a stay which has torn through the fabric and I've bent another stay the second time I closed and then reopened this. Now, I'm afraid to open it again and need to close it as I purchased it specifically to take camping with me. If anyone can share some insight or a video of how to close this, please do!! :)

Very easy to put together. Top and bottom zippers went together easily and no longer are metal but plastic. The pictures of other reviews are accurate for the top screen. It is not two colors as presented in the product picture so if you are looking to have a shaded side you will have to use something on top to create that shade. I have it set up in my living room trying to get my cat used to it before going on vacation. I plan on using this while traveling as her "hotel room" when away from home. I have found a semi-traumatized cat when I have returned from vacation the last few times so I am going to try taking her with me this time. After researching different alternatives this looked like the best thing to help keep her contained if I am not around in a strange place. If it doesn't work, I have friends who are teachers that could use it for a reading center! It is big enough for at least two small kids to get in it with a couple of throw pillows!

We bought this for our cat because when we are outside, he also needs to be outside. Problem is, he is not an outdoor cat. I was putting him in his carrier when we would be spending time outside but now that he is a year old and is full grown, I wanted something bigger that he could hang out in since the weather is also getting nicer in New England (finally) and we will be outside more often.The playpen arrived quickly and was really easy to open. Boo boo Kitty could not wait to get inside and explore it. We finally took him outside a couple days ago in it and I can't decide if he is frustrated that he can't go further to chase birds and bugs or if he is happy in there. I put some water in there and if we're going to be outside longer, I will get a litter box at the $ store so time will tell.I like the zippers and it seems pretty sturdy, I am happy we bought it.All I know for sure is that he looks so cute in there!

I purchased this for our 16 pound elderly maine coon cat who suffered a back injury and must be kept from jumping on or off things. This playpen is perfect for that. There is plenty of room for a large litter box, food and water bowls, blankets, toys, and room for him to safely walk around. He is safe in the pen and with the mesh windows can still see everything going on in the house and we can still observe him.PROS:Easy to set up.Easy to clean.Big enough for a large cat.Easy to reach in and interact with your pet if they are immobile.CONS:Horrible zippers. The zipper on the top panel broke within the first few days with barely any use. The silver pieces you feed through the zip broke right off and we had to duct tape the zipper to secure it.Bad customer service. They say in their description to skip using amazon customer service to return and contact the seller instead. The seller takes forever to respond, if at all. If you ordered through Prime, return through Prime and spare yourself the back and forth with a non-responsive seller.

I really like this. I got this for one of my cats after she had surgery to keep the others from antagonizing her too much as well as giving her a place to rest. Roomy enough for litter box, food and water tray, small bed, and even room for toys. Nice and tall too- could probably have a covered litter box in it. The only issue I had is that the zippered bottom I think was assembled wrong as the outside canvas material was inside the pen, not outside. I tried to play around with it, but with how the zipper track is attached, it only fit so that the canvas was facing the wrong side out.

Love this thing! I skipped the sheet and just lay down a breathable blanket. Why are the sheets SO expensive!? That's one downfall.Otherwise I got the play yard at a great price (watch for price fluctuations).

I have the regular size pack n plays for my twins 18 mo, they are growing out of them.The padding is a bit more squishy than the pack nplays that are more firm. The release to pack it up is different, the playyard has no button its more like a latch in the fabric that you find and sqweeze.....still easy, maybe even easier than the pack n play. Not much heavier but longer of course..... there are online custom crib matresses companys that would make a custom matress for this but i found a matress thats 18 by 36 at toys r us and just got 2 of them so they fit the square. Havent recieved the matress yet but will update a review. (if intrested in buying them from toy r us)

I bought this for my just turned 9 month grandbaby, who is becoming quite mobile. I wanted something I could set him in if I had to leave him out of my sight at all (bio breaks, washing up the bottles, etc.), so he'd be safe. I also wanted a place for him to play with his toys without his four legged furry uncle grabbing his toys.My grandson really enjoys playing withe added toys sewn into the mesh walls and is quite content playing in the pack and play because he can see me.Taking it down is a breeze, but setting it up isn't quite as quick as advertised, which is why I'm giving it only four stars. I have a hard time getting the top bars to lock in place. I believe I received one that was already tried out because it came with the carrying bag stuffed on top of the box. Perhaps the locking top bars are not working properly and that's why it was returned and maybe why it's not as easy for me.I keep it set up most of the week, so the inconvenience of the bars not easily locking in place wasn't worth returning.I purchased this, vs. some of the other "baby containers" because it has its own floor and is all-in-one. I'm glad I went in that direction.

If you're like me you may have gone back and forth between this Graco and the Delta (Novel) playard. I ended up buying them both for my twins and here is the comparison.Ease of setup--they both take about a minute to put up. The graco was slightly easier to push the middle down that pops it all I to place.Weight & sturdiness--the graco feels lighter than the Delta (a good 5 lbs+), but the Delta feels a bit sturdier when set up, and seems slightly more durable.Shape--the graco is very squared off, and the Delta is square on bottom but curves inward as it goes up so the top railings are in a more round shape. This feels like its saving some space even though the dimensions are the same.Mattress--the graco has a very bright, colorful mattress pad with squares and bugs on it. It has a decent thickness in terms of padding for the baby to be comfortable. The pad also lays flat, but you do get a slight dip in the middle after a baby has been in there for a while. The Delta has a colorful mattress pad but with 'gentler' tones of color featuring the animals on the mesh sides. The padding is not as thick feeling as the graco, but the pad itself is more water and stain proof of a material than the graco. Even though it's not as padded feeling it feels sturdier. No dip in the middle, and I would feel a bit more comfortable with more weight in the Delta.Mesh---they both seem to have equally durable mesh. The graco has built in toys on each side of the mesh; whereas the Delta has the animals printed on the mesh.Price--the graco is more expensive than the Delta.All in all they are both nice. I think the better one depends on what you are planning on using it for. If it's going to be up all the time at your house or daycare, etc. I think the Delta is built sturdier and will be more durable with continued daily use. If you are using it to bring around with you places (hotel, camping, on the back deck, grandma's, etc). then I would go for the Graco because it is much lighter to lug around, and has built in toys so if you forget to bring some there is still toys for baby to play with. The graco also seems sturdy and durable; the Delta just seems a bit better in those departments; that's all.The 3ft by 3ft size is amazing!! Wish I had bought one sooner! We have twins and they both can play in one together without them feeling like they are on top of each other.

Hi...I purchased this item as I was going to be watching my new little grandson occasionally and wanted some where to put him so that he would be safe while he was playing. It has come in very handy. He seems to enjoy being in it and I expect that as he gets bigger he'll enjoy playing with the items that are attached to the sides of the play pen. The only thing that I wish it had was a little thicker padding on the bottom. He is only 22 lbs and is just sitting up and balancing himself (71/2 mos.) and has toppled over a few times and bumped his head slightly (nothing serious)...a little more padding would be so much better. I was thinking of purchasing some 1 to 2" firm foam rubber sheeting at the fabric store to put under the padded bottom, for additional cushioning. However, not sure if that would make it unstable to stand on when he gets to that point. I think if it's firm enough then it should work. Just a suggestion for others that might be think of purchasing this item..otherwise it's perfect. Light, easy to open and close and store!

I have had this pack n' play for a few weeks now and my son seems to enjoy it. We use it for quick corralling, not prolonged play time. He likes the toys on the sides, and I like that it is larger than most of the play yards I've seen, granting that my experience is limited.-It goes up and down VERY easily and quickly.-It is not very heavy for the size and sturdiness. My parents have a Cosco playyard that they borrowed from a friend for when we visit. Theirs is about half the size and seems almost as heavy.-The square shape on the TotBloc is nice, too because he can move around a bit in there and actually get somewhere instead of just rolling over once and hitting the end.-There is no listed weight limit on this, only a height limit. That was a major deciding factor for my big boy!Overall I think it's a great product for the price.

This pen was great at first. We used it for one of our cats that has to be confined during the work day. It was just what we needed. She eats anything and everything so this kept her out of trouble when we were not able to watch her. She is declawed in the front, we adopted her that way, and she managed to rip a hole in it under the zipper of one of the openings. I had to throw it out. Ordered another brand with stronger canvas bottom. Hopefully it will hold up better for our needs. I wish I would have checked the warranty on this one. Oh and do not leave a big dog in it unattended. We adopted a pitbull and used this for her the first few days since it was more roomy than her large crate. She was able to move it from the livingroom to the kitchen and some how it got wedged between the table and the oven and we came in the room a burner was on! Somehow maybe it got caught on a burner knob, we are not sure. Since that incident we kept it for the cat in another room. We understand we should not have left a dog her size in it unattended. Thankfully the house didn't burn down.

I liked the size of the kennel for my two small dogs. They had plenty of space to run around. Unfortunately my 20 pound dog pushed on the screen door and broke the zipper. It would be much better if the zippers and screens were heavy duty and held up better. If you have a strong dog or bigger dog who want's to get it this isn't the solution for you.

This pen is great as a temporary holding pen for small pets but definitely low quality. The zippers are hard to zip, catch easily and the 'top' mesh that encloses the pen is too big?? and there is extra zipper folded over and smushed so that no one can escape through the small hole it leaves.Also, the zippers that open the 'doors' are AWFUL. I'm worried I will break it if I pull harder, so opening and closing the doors often may result in a useless pen. I used it for my low-energy cat that just had a surgery and worked fine but any pet that wants to escape will be able to prettyyyy easily.

I bought this "tent" as I call it, for my 10 pound rat terrier. I got a large size so she would be able to move around while in it for a long day. I used it a few times when we were in the room and she was fine, but over the weekend we left her alone for the first time in it and she chewed her way out through the mesh side. Much to my surprise, when I walked in the door there she was, loose in the kitchen! She chews on bones and treats but has never damaged anything like this before. Beware if you have a chewer! This was obviously a situation of separation anxiety, but I just want to warn future buyers.

My now eighteen-pound French Bulldog puppy loves this playpen (and so do I)! The construction is surprisingly sturdy, and as much as this little guy bounces around in there, it is very durable. I recently left his collar on top of the pen, and he jumped up and down over and over and tried clawing at the top to get to the collar. The zipper stayed secure, and there was no tearing of the fabric. The pen's top and bottom have zippers, so--unlike the ones with velcro--there is no chance your pet can find a way out. You can unzip the top and step inside (without giving the pup a chance to dash out) to clean up an accident or give treats. The bottom unzips for washing. When my puppy is full grown, he will have plenty of room in the pen to sleep, play, and just chill. It's all vinyl, so accidents clean up easily.UDPDATE: Do not buy this product if your pet is fairly strong. As my review said, it worked great for my puppy when he was under 20 pounds. Now that he is 24 pounds, he was able to jump against the sides and roll it until it collapsed around him. Doing that bent the frame so that the zipper broke. I still think it's a great product for very small pets, but definitely not a six month old tank of a puppy.

I think it's a fine product for the right circumstances. Those circumstances weren't mine. I left my small poodle mix dog in it in my house twice and one time I came home and he had escaped (not sure how, but I'm sure it was operator error) and the second time, he had turned my 8-sided playpen into about three sides and it was upside down. . .I decided, he's a small dog, he needs something a little more confining for my purposes. It probably will work great to confine a dog outside.

We liked the playpen really well, but within just a few months the pad started to bunch up in the middle so that now there is a big high ridge our grandson keeps tripping over. I am going to have to try to find a replacement pad for it now. Looks like that is going to cost me about $20. So...over all it was not a good investment. The baby did nothing to harm the pad in any way. It was installed properly. Guess it was just defective and it got worse as time when on.

I love the bug design and the spaciousness of the interior but I have one major issue. This Graco Pack 'N Play Playard Totbloc is marketed to parents with older children (not just babies) and my 3 year-old son, who weighs 32 pounds, just did some serious damage to the mat tonight. He managed to snap a corner of the mattress and I feel that he should not have been able to do that. He hopped up and down in the Totbloc a few times- like any typical toddler would do- and the corner snapped. If this product was meant to be used with toddlers it should have been designed to hold up to the typical things toddlers do.

I bought this pen for my assistant with twins. It arrived with one of the attaching pins out of place, down the inside of its metal tube leg. We had to use a pair of tweezers and a screwdriver to reach inside and shift is around to poke through its hole the way it should have been all along, a big pain. Thankfully this worked and we didn't have to send it back because we needed to use it immediately. It's a good playpen overall.

The only gripe I have is that on Amazon, it said that it was made in the USA, and the box stated it was made in China. I could not find a playpen made in the USA. That is too bad. We don't have choices.

Nice and large. My 9 mo. granddaughter was not impressed by the activities on the four walls. Also, you can't just pick up and move from one room to the next.....the floor collapses and you have to reset the inner legs.08/23/2014 update: On the upside, it's a nice, comfortable size, I just put a soft blanket on top and tuck it under the mat. I now keep it in one place, and don't try to move it. She sleeps well in it. My granddaughter is now 17 mos.

Let me start by saying that this is very colorful and attractive to baby. The base is also attractive with lots of colors for baby to 'discover'.There is a play thing on each side - crinkly butterfly, mirror, squeezy sound making ladybug, and rattly bee. It's large - about 38in square so you'll need some room to place it. The flipside is that baby has plenty of room to play. You can store baby's toys in there and still they space to play.It has mesh sides for airflow and so that parents can see in and babies can see out. It's relatively quick to fold away for travel due to a button on each top arm which 'folds' that side. A very neat idea. However, that's where the good stuff ends because there are two major flaws with this product.Why do manufactuers insist on producing fabric based items for a baby that cannot be WASHED ??? Why oh why do they not make the fabric removable - do they not know that kids make a MESS ??? Duh !!! How is one supposed to remove spit-up and drool (and possibly worse!)?It's perhaps the most important thing in any piece of baby equipment; be it a chair, car seat, pushchair, crib, or playpen. THE FABRIC SHOULD BE REMOVABLE FOR WASHING.The second issue is that the base pad is only about 3/4 in thick. That in itself is not so much of an issue as the fact that when it's placed inside the playpen, it 'dips' in the middle - by about 1/2in. The centre strut /leg that holds the pad sems to be lower than the other legs causing a dip in the middle (and yes it's on a flat surface). Although baby hasn't yet 'rolled' into the center, it's not very comforting knowing that the center is not flat. Perhaps the pad should have been thicker - better yet the center leg should have been the same size as the others.For what we paid, I don't think it's worth the money - especially considering that the pad can't be cleaned without using chmical cleaners (which we don't intend to use around baby).

A puppy can tear through one of these in a few minutes. That's what happened shortly after we bought this (about 3 days, to be precise.) You're better off buying a solid metal kennel.

Initially loved this pen for my 10 lb puppy. Seemed to be well constructed and definitely met my needs to have a roomy place to contain puppy at night and when not being supervised during day. Large enough for his bed, food/water bowls, wee wee pads. Able to fairly easily transport on long trip. However, 1 1/2 months after purchase and beyond return date, I used top mesh cover as he started to jump out of pen. Cover kept him in but Zipper broke after second use, now unable to get mesh cover on or off. This appears to be a common complaint. My pup has also easily chewed through thin plastic covering inside seams, eating some of the pieces. Great little pen now useless due to cheap broken zipper and inability to repair.

It worked well the first two weeks. Upon arrival, I noticed that one of the bottom corners had exposed wiring because it was incorrectly sewn or assembled (the fabric didn't wrap around one of the bottom corners). It wasn't convenient or practical to return for this defect because I wouldn't have had a replacement pen for my puppy right away. Now, a month later and it's rendered unacceptable. The wiring that was exposed is now bent and that corner caves in. If your puppy is any bigger than a cat or small dog (my puppy is only 15 pounds), then it's not hard to push against the walls and leave the play pen dilapidated. I've had to wash the bottom several times, although the fabric is "waterproof" any urine accidents that come off the pee pad will get into the fabric and leave a darker wet mark. I've been right by the play pen ready with a papertowel to wipe when I see that the pup has missed the mark a little, and it still manages to soak into the fabric. I had high hopes, but it doesn't quite deliver. Otherwise, great idea.

First time I used this playpen with 3.6lb puppy, I came home to find he had unzipped the door and escaped. The description says it has zippers for more security but the quality of them are too light and the bottom attaches with Velcro, not a zipper. I had a hard time getting the top to zip on and it felt like the zipper pull might break. It took a really long time to receive as I ordered on Sept 9th and it did not arrive until Sept 20. I contacted the seller thru email because the tracking from Amazon never showed any progression. They just responded they were on schedule. It folds up and comes with a travel tote but don't think it can be trusted to hold a dog. There's also a hole in one panel so you can insert a water bottle but it hangs pretty low. It also has loops on the outside for the tent pegs. One loop is right in front of the door so it just attracts a puppy entering to chew it. The door screen rolls up and attaches with Velcro so you can leave it open for playing. Even though it has a bottom, it doesn't go all the way to the edge so I covered it. Fortunately, I ordered the Iris playpen and it came within 2 days with no shipping cost. It has a more secure door with two metal latches with thumb screws in case you need to lock it down. My dog has never escaped from it.

Not good for puppies. The product arrived on time and was easy to open and set up, however a bit challenging to close and not the easiest to clean (holds in odor). The biggest problem with this product was the sturdiness when it came to pups. If I sat and watched them the entire time you could catch them when they started to chew, however the goal was to have something that I could put them in when doing housework etc. Two 10lb pups chewed several holes in the bottom in less than a month. This is a good product for kittens when they are really little but not any critter that chews.

We used this for a litter of Siberian Husky puppies, it was great until they reached about 5 weeks of age and roughly 5-7 pounds each. The puppies became much more active in the playpen around this time, and the pen quickly started showing signs of use. The metal is just too flimsy to stay in place. Our puppies were able to flip this thing over, and roll it across our basement floor. At one point, they collapsed the sides in onto themselves, but I was fortunate enough to hear them whining. I do feel like this product has some value for use as an area for a small animal that has had surgery and is still very lethargic, or just animals that are inactive.

This is way bigger than I thought it would be. which will be good for camping and stuff but not ideal for a pack n play I would bring to friends houses and stuff. The main problem I really have is that it doesn't lock into place. You can velcro and button certain things to the bottom which takes forever and is quite the pain in the arse, but it still will totally collapse of it falls over. Super unsafe. Pretty bummed about it. If it wasn't so gigantic, I would send it back.

the item is the item.. but its not the right color!!!! We already got a basinet by graco with the same color theme (grey and light blue/see green) so we got a bigger pack and play version. this one out of the box came BROWN AND GREEN!completely different from pics!

I wish I would have known that this is an older model and that it would be virtually impossible to find sheets for the mattress.

My daughter likes it a lot, but ita actually way over priced for the quality, its already warping and ripped underneath where the legs connect so I lose my mind everytime i want to move/ open/ close this thing. I wouold Hate it if my daughter didnt enjoy the play things on the netting.

I was very excited about cute this play pen was. Bright, colorful and the toys were adorable. However, not as easy to break-down as advertised plus one rail was broken. Will need to return.

We bought this when my son was five months and not yet setting up. We wanted something bigger than a regular travel play yard so when I am cooking he has a place to play.At first all was well, with in a month the plastic on the corners began to crack and break. He wasn't even pulling himself up yet so this was ridiculous! Emailed graco... NO REPLY... emailed again... NO REPLY... emailed a third time... NO REPLY.This play pen, to me, would be considered unsafe! We have ended up covering the four plastic corners with duct tape b/c of the plastic breaking off in small pieces that are choking hazards. Another draw back ... the cover on the padded bottom does not come off to wash!Definitely would NOT buy this product again... especially since Graco doesn't back up their product!

My puppy is 2 months old and weighs 5 pounds. He's in the pen for maybe a few hours a day. I've had this barely over a month (right outside the return window of course) and he's already managed to chew through the bottom liner where the zipper is and was able to just go underneath and let himself out after that. So now I had to connect the top mesh part as the bottom so he can't get out for now until I find something better to replace this. Included pics of torn zipper and pupper for reference.

Very disapointed with this product. Size is great, but i left my puppy in here for less then an hour and not only did she make it out (she pushed the zippers apart from inside, and i had to zip tie them and put her in from the top, but she chewed a decent hole in the tougher part of the material in just 45 minutes. Poor quality, and a complete waste of money. For a mature dog it would probably be great for a little hangout spot in your back yard on a hot day, but this is advertised as a puppy playpen. Id hate to see what it looked like after 2 puppies were playing in it...

The zipper teeth are plastic and easily come and break apart if a dog scratches at them. It is difficult to get the teeth zipped back together and one side wont even go back together anymore- We have had it less than a week with a small dog. My guess is a large dog would tear right through this thing.Once the dog calms down its fine- but you have to watch closely and if you leave the house, expect to come back to them outside of it. It is difficult to fold back up, but having a top on it is nice and the plastic bottom is nice as well. But again, don't expect it to hold your pet.

Product arrived and assembly was simple. I was happy with the product, it looked sturdy but the zipper broke after only two days of use. I have a 1.2 lb mini schnauzer pup, she only spent a few hours in the pen and she mostly ran around in circles. At first I thought the bottom portion had simply become unzipped but when I tried to zip it up, the zipper was on one end and the seam continued to open up, I couldn't zip it closed. Imagine a backpack with a messed up zipper, same thing. So now I'm out $40, my dog will quickly figure out how to break out, and I'll have to buy another product elsewhere.....ugh!

Opened this for my 5lb frenchie bulldog to see how to set it up before we left for vacation. Couldn't even get it folded back up, every steak in it started popping through the material. We weren't able to use it at all. Waste of money!

The size is fine and the quality of the material was fair for the price.The zipper was cheap, poorly made, and there was an obvious lack of quality control because the material bunched up so much that I was unable to zip the mat down.I would gladly pay a higher price for a zipper that would actually last and was cut to fit.Back in the box, and back to Amazon

We used this once. ONCE. My son didn't like the crunchy noise as he moved around. It kept him every time he rolled one way or the other and therefore kept us up all night. I think this was the biggest waste of money we've had in regards to baby items.

Horrendous! In less than a week of using this, two, not one, top sides of the playpen broke and would not hold. The playpen folds itself and would not stay up. Good thing I noticed it before my baby got hurt. Unsafe under any circumstances. Stay away!!!!

First we loved this playard. Even though it had a very strong plastic smell in the beginning. It is spacious and fun for a baby. But (as a lot of reviews mentioned) the bottom mat doesn't stay flat, and keeps getting up, not only are there waves of material but the wooden boards inside started to overlap. Even though we never once disassembled it, it has always stayed in one place with the occasional dust wiping!We returned it after some time! We found this playard inconvenient and potentially dangerous for a baby who is rolling over and just starting to crawl.

It ripped after only 2weeks smh and the piece inside the mat is lumped in middle so my Lil guy can't sleep right or play.

Cheapo!! Falls apart ! Screws come off ! Cheap smelly chemical smell!

I ordered this because my 23 lb 30 inch long 7 month old hates his pack and play and I thought maybe if I ordered something bigger he would sleep better on vacation. A lot of reviews say that the mattress on the bottom is thicker than a standard pack and play mattress..its not, in fact its worse than our standard pack and play. It had an odd odor to it when I unpacked it, and looked as if someone else had used it before. When I decided to return it back to amazon(which was immediately) I noticed that someone else had already returned this item, How did I notice? Because the shipping label was still on the box from the previous owner. Luckily amazon has an awesome return policy..
