Side by Side Comparison of: Graco vs North States Industries

This is really nice little playard, assembles easily in minutes with no tools and goes with every room. I bought one to have at the grandparents' house first and liked it so much I decided to buy the same one for home as a transitional step between my five month old baby's outgrown bassinet and her big-girl crib which will take up way more of our bedroom. The sleeping mat is pretty soft by itself (not to an unsafe degree, but comfortable) and I added a waterproof mattress pad and a playard sheet to make cleanup easier after the inevitable nighttime diaper blowouts and goopy eyes. After she's too heavy to sleep in it (15lbs) it will make a great portable playard. Very easily wheeled and light!

Awesome pack n play. It is NAVY blue as a base color- not black which is what I originally thought but it does not bother me what so ever because I love navy! The mattress that comes with it is surprisingly soft and feels like a small layer of memory foam. With a fitted sheet that would be completely fine and comfortable for baby. Super easy to assemble and take apart- sturdy as well. I bought a travel crib sized memory foam mattress to go inside and it is wonderful and fits perfectly on the bassinet portion of the pack n play while my baby is still young. Would definitely recommend.

We love this thing. We got it for the bassinet portion. So we had somewhere to set our newborn down safe from the toddler and the dog. It's colors are nice. The bassinet is awesome. It's sturdy. The price was decent. I would buy ur again.

Very pleased with this product for the money. The colors are way cuter in person. We bought the stratus print. I also added a seperate mattress- that's why the bassinet looks so shallow- just know it doesn't come that way- that's due to the mattress. I like that the wheels allow you to push it from one spot to another without collapsing it. Also, the carry case is nice. The bassinet insert is fabulous & super sturdy. This is honestly why we bought this particular pack n' play model. It was the least expensive of all the Graco Pack n' Plays that had the full size bassinet insert. We did pay just a bit more for the cute print- and I'm glad we did. If you are hesitating- stop- but it now- you won't regret it!

I love my Graco pack n playard with bassinet! I truly appreciate a multi functioning baby product that grows with my baby. If there was ever a baby item I couldn’t live without it would have to be this one. Playards are a must-have for any new parent even if you don’t travel often. They are convenient for nap time especially when newborns spend a lot of their day sleeping. The bassinet served its purpose for as long as it could being that I don't have a video monitor it makes it easy to get household chores done and still easily be able to peak at my sleeping baby. The toy bar made it an entertaining place to lay down for her when she wasn't pushing herself up or sitting up on her own yet. The Playard is perfect for babies who are mobile and need to be kept safe it's got very clear line of view so you can still see your baby and she can still see you which was important for my baby, the Graco Pack N Playard with bassinet stores easily in its carrying case with all accessories which makes for easy transport and trust me we take it everywhere! Although the setup instructions are very clear the actual process is quite frustrating be sure not to push down on the lower support bar before you secure the rails and having a second person to help would be a good idea!

VERSION PURCHASED: Graco Pack n Play On the Go Travel Playard (Little Hoot)This is a GREAT Pack N Play! I purchased this as a Baby Shower Gift for my sister as she plans to be on the go a bit after the baby comes, and I wanted a "crib" that could move around with her. I have experience with older Pack N Plays, and was anxious about the Bassinet feature but MAN, I am so happy with it!I received the package today in the original Graco Product Box (no extra shipping box if purchased from Amazon LLC), opened up the box, pulled out the nicely folded up pack n play, unfolded the mat, set that aside, then set up the pack n play within 1 minute, I am NOT exaggerating... I followed the instructions (listed on the back of the mat) and had it up and ready to go within a minute.MEASUREMENTS: GRACO Product Packaging (What it is shipped in) 2' 4" (H) x 10.5" (L) x 10.5" (W) Pack n Play Itself Pack N Play 'Interior Space' is 2' (H) x 3' 2" (L) x 2' 3" (W) Pack N Play Bassinet sits 9.5" inches below the top of the Pack N Play and has the same Width and Length as above. *Note that this leaves about 1' 2" of space under the bassinet for LIGHT storage (the mat is being used in the bassinet, so no solid bottom... be careful not to rip the fabric...The colors are EXACTLY what you see in the picture. Not too bright, natural colors with that touch of teal blue in the owls as well as the mat and stars. The natural colors make sure that this is a gender nutruel item, and that it doesn't clash with it's surroundings. The owls are SUPER cute as well!You can buy standard play yard FITTED sheets (I purchased mine from Target via Circo brand, I personally like the Chevron Grey & White 2-Pack listed at $10 http://www.target.com/p/circo-pack-n-play-play-yard-fitted-sheet-set/-/A-15035976 ). The mat itself is somewhat water proof, and I personally would recommend always using a sheet to prevent the baby from 'sticking' to the mat, hehehe.SIDE NOTE: If your bed is high enough (My guest bedroom bed sits about 2' 3" in height) this can kind of be used as a co-sleeper unit. The side does NOT go down, but the Pack n Play is slightly shorter than the bed and would allow me to roll to the side of the bed, pick up the baby from the bassinet (scoop down a tad) and then easily put the baby back. Also gives a great view of the sleeping baby while you are in bed yourself. So it is a nice option!Again, super happy with this product and may purchase one for myself! A friend is buying one after seeing it today! I have included photos to show the simple and easy to follow instructions, what it actually looks like (including with a sheet on the mat), the product/shipping package, and how it would sit next to the bed as a 'co-sleeper' unit.

I got this for my eight month old grandson. It is huge and gives him a large play area, with room for his toys. His parents put a puzzle mat rug down inside it, set it up in a square, and he can play and watch television and see and interact with his mother as she works at her computer. And his mother (who is a writer) can work at her computer without worrying about him getting into books and electrical cords and taking off down the hall to the other rooms! There is enough room for crawling and pulling up and walking; it is great.

Bought 2, one for our house as grandparents, and one for my grandson's house. Nice fit, easy to set up, and portable.

Excellent product for our little soon to be crawler. This helps keep him in a safe play are so the dogs aren't all over him also keeps them safe from him. Product is very sturdy and provides a large play area. What’s also great is the ability to add on. The product also folds down easily for storage or transport. I would highly recommend this product to any new parent with toddlers and would even recommend to pet owners with small dogs. I would absolutely purchase again and am considering purchasing the extension for a bigger play area.

These gates are a life saver in our house! We have 2 toddlers and they insist on going all over the yard. We got 4 sets of these and put them together to create safe play spaces. We use them to block the driveway to keep them where they should be when using ride on toys, and to keep cars or delivery trucks from coming too far up the driveway and risk them not seeing the children. We have also been able to use 2 sets to create 2 large play areas for when the toddlers need some separate time when they aren't getting along so well. Will they physically hold a child in place? No, they aren't that strong. But they are perfect for creating a visual boundary, that along with rules and teaching can help contain little ones. Once you get the hang of how they snap together and come apart, it is quick and easy to manipulate them to do what you want them to do. We even use them as the boundaries in our baseball games with the older children! These are some of our most versatile pieces of "child" gear we own.

I was worried like most things you can't really tell what size something is on the internet. I've been fooled like that before the picture "looks" like something would be decent size and you realize it's not even big enough for a tiny dog let alone children! I was very pleased when this arrived the size was great. I actually used it in a different way than most would. I have a huge living room that over looks my kitchen and while it's great for watching my kids and cooking meals at the same time I always worry about the accidental run ins through the kitchen. So I went looking for all types of gates most were very expensive with very little length so on my hunt I saw this and thought possibly six pieces would do the job. Well fully extended it's quite HUGE! It completely blocked the space I needed it too and it still had plenty of length room. I love it, it works great for just about anything you want to use it for. I plan on buying more in the future for other rooms in the house!I've been using this for about a week now and I really like it. I am not using it in the hexagon/octogon shape (I have 8 panels). Instead I have it going across my living room and bending behind furniture to make it stable. So far it has kept my 10 month old twin boys in their contained safe play area. They pull up to standing on the panels and everything is stable. I used the rubber pieces on the bottom of the panels and so far they seem to be working well.This is a must have and i am so happy with this purchase! Please dont hesitate, you will happy just like i was! Thank you so much for an amaizng product! Enjoy

I have the 8 panel play yard. Overall, this is a great play yard. I chose to put mine in a perfect square instead of an Octagon. You lose a little square feet this way, but it works better for our room setup. It also fits perfectly on a 6x6 foam floor tiles:(http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HS5BYVO/ref=od_aui_detailpages02?ie=UTF8&psc=1)The 8 panel square measures 65" x 65" I think the octagon measures 80" x 80" but again the square just worked better for our room.HEIGHT:I was torn between this play yard and the Summer Infant Play Yard, and did a lot of research before going with the North States. They were the exact same size and price so I could not decide. I went with this one because it is a little shorter at 26" inches high verses the Summer Infant which is 30" high. I am very petite so stepping over the 26" is even a little challenging for me! The Summer Infant play yard has a door which was appealing, but everyone kept reviewing that the door was difficult to open, so they would just step over it. I don't think there's anyway I could step over the 30" height. In my opinion, the 26" is the perfect height.FOLDING/PORTABILITY:I wanted this to be portable because I knew I would be using it at a few different locations, it is definitely portable, but takes up a fair amour of space when traveling which is expected. I just kept the box that it came in and always transport it in the box. It took me about 15 minutes to set it up initially, and 6 minutes to fold down. After my second, third, times setting up and folding down I could easily setup in under 1 minute and easily fold down in under 1 minute. I did read a lot of reviews that theirs broke when folding, which you do have to be careful to fold the correct way. After you inspect the gates, you'll be able to see which way it needs to fold. So just observe and make sure that nobody tries to fold it up quickly without understanding the correct way to fold. If you're going on a weekend trip or visiting family I would easily pack this along to bring. If you're going on a quick picnic at the park, I wouldn't mess with it. I would want something more portable such as the Summer Infant pop up portable play pen. It folds up like a lawn chair. I have used that one as well at a friend's home, it is much smaller probably half the size but I think it would also be a nice purchase.COLOR:I was slightly disappointed in the "sand" color. I was hoping it would be more ivory/beige but it has more of an orange tint. Not a deal breaker because either way the cage isn't a very pretty sight, but it is what it is.STURDYNESS:They are lightweight plastic gates, so for the people that said they were "flimsy" weren't exactly lying. But when it's all setup and connected it's as sturdy enough as it needs to be for any baby or toddler. There's no way it would tip over or cave in.I would give it 4.5stars because as much as I love it, my daughter isn't as thrilled. I definitely purchased this too late, she is already 9 months, crawling, and standing up on everything and was used to exploring the entire house before and now she's "confined" in this pen. I think she would enjoy it more if she would have had this since birth. But it's our first baby so we'll be able to keep this for all future kiddos! I purchased it more for traveling to grandparents and to our lake house that is not as baby proof as our home is. It will be somewhat bulky to travel with, but will work great. I was also considering the Summer Infant collapsible play yard but I think the square footage is way too small to be enjoyable. I'm happy with this size!

We've moved 3 times since my son was born 8 months ago; he's slept in one of these things every night of his life. You can't beat them for portability and travel! The mattress on ours sort of sags in the middle, so when we're on the road we put a strong cardboard box under the middle to keep it flat. When we're at home, we have a Dream On Me mattress that we use.

Not a bad travel cot. The mattress it comes with is not really a mattress, it's more like a mat. Folds very well and very easy to put together.

We used this for a while in place of a bassinet. It works well, but the "mattress" is very firm (far more than infant crib mattresses). In the end we disassembled our big crib to move into our room since he slept better there. But it will be great as our travel crib

Very convenient little crib that assembles easily. A fold up mattress, thin layer of foam on a hard backing with covering comes with it which I'm using for the bottom, so it's okay that the foam is a bit uneven in a couple of places. Don't think it will ever be noticed. I purchased a 3" mattress to go on the upper layer mesh where the child will sleep. Or we could use it on the bottom too. The bed is study, lightweight and easy to maneuver about. I think my visiting family with 8 month old will like it. After they leave it will be easy to store until next time. For the price it's a very clever, well-made product.

We got this as a second pack'n'play for our twins. We already had a nicer model pack'n'play we got as a shower gift and have used a ton, especially when the twins were tiny. This model has fewer features, which is fine as we really got it just to use as a second portable crib at grandma's or on vacation. I noticed, though, that the seams are not as nicely finished on the inside, and it's somewhat harder to snap the bottom mat to the supports underneath; the straps are just a tiny bit shorter. Still, it's a quality item we're very glad to have and are getting great use out of.

We wanted something that we could put in the living room for our son to nap in or partake in his favorite past time-having deep conversations with the ceiling fan. After pulling it out of the box it took about ten minutes, probably less to get it put together completely, very simple and parent friendly. The bassinet portion along with the whole set is very sturdy, well put together and great quality. I put a travel diaper changer down to change his diapers and he's very content, much more so than when we change him on his actual Serta changing pad. We haven't been able to have him nap in it but he hasn't napped anywhere but our arms so we can't say it's because of the Pack n Play. He will lay in it for a little while here and there and chew the fat with his bestie, the ceiling fan. We're glad we purchased this one and not the one with the napped/changer. Our son is over a month old and we wouldn't have gotten much use out of it, this one however I see us using a lot. We are very satisfied with this product.

It is great, but as our daughter got older we did have to get the expansion panels for it. It does have to be weighted down though or she would push it all around the room. We brace ours against the couch, with heavy boxes all around. Now that I have to start using the contents of the boxes I am planning on rapping towels around cinder blocks and replacing the boxes with the blocks.

Very flimsy plastic. We have to stagger it so it won't flop back and forth( can't use it in a square/ rectangle for fear of it flopping over if my son attempts to pull up). Works for what we needed and came in 2 days

I got the multi colored 8 panel enclosure. I have used this for a month so far everyday. Contrary to a couple reviews is quite sturdy when moving and adjusting. Let's be clear. ..this is not a play pen to leave baby unattended extended periods of time. It does move if the child leans or pushes on it but it holds up will and won't collapse. It is most sturdy in the octagon or hexagon (6 panel) configuration as instructed in the package insert. My baby is 18 months 30 lbs and it holds up. It's a great solution if you need to get things done without having to worry about the baby getting into anything. If there were more anti skid pads included I'd give it 5 stars. Overall a great product.

This gate is a really good size and is stable enough that my baby can stand up using the sides without too much concern that she will hurt herself. It did come with a few pieces of the plastic already broken, but it was only a cosmetic problem so I didn't return it but for the price it should be in better condition. Also, the 'gate' part that you should use to get in and out is very rigid and doesn't swing like a gate so that it seems that it is designed for parents to climb over the sides to get in and out. But that really isn't safe at all, especially carrying the baby, so we use the gate but it could have been better designed for sure.All in all I like that it offers a big space for my baby to play that is safe, and the sides also allow you to clip on toys which is great.

We got this pen for our new puppy. I like that I can take the pieces apart to use as multiple make-shift baby/ puppy gates when I'm giving him more free reign of certain areas - or convert it back to a pen when I need him more confined. I convert it back & forth a few times a day. As for reconfiguring - it is not as easy as I would like - requires two hands and a little bit of precision (too much force will bend it too far). My husband doesn't struggle with it as much as I do - but agrees with me that the resistance in reconfiguring is a bit much. (I assume that resistance helps with the stability of the product.) It does seem nice and stable- and would work equally well for toddlers and puppies (I had a similar set up when my kids were younger and it was a life-saver.) So overall - I would recommend this product. If you are planning on using this for a puppy - please realize that this item does NOT replace a crate/kennel - and puppy should not be left unsupervised for long periods of time in this (if your puppy is prone to chewing - as most puppies are - he could chew this pen and damage himself as well as the pen.) I primarily use this pen for when we are home but can't give puppy our undivided attention (cooking, eating dinner, folding laundry, working on computer, etc.) Overall - I do recommend this product for puppy or baby.

I have twins and they are crawling all over the house, so I bought the 8 panel version to keep them contained and safe. It wasn't big enough for them. They didn't have enough room to crawl and have their toys in the same space. I ordered 2 extensions which added 4 more panels to the existing 8. With 12 panels now, we have a pretty large space where their toys are in there, and they don't feel contained. They now like playing in the play yard, and I can easily sit or lay down with them in there too. It is sturdy enough but nothing can be too sturdy unless bolted to the ground. One of my twins can hold on to the walls, stand and cruise around, and for the most part, he is fine doing it. Once in a while, the walls can move which make him lose his balance. I bought this because we have book cases around and a TV stand that has glass and the DVD and DVR players, and the boys liked playing with the buttons or pulling books off the bottom shelf, and I didn't feel comfortable with that, but I had no other way of taking those away from their reach. I plan on using this play yard in the backyard too. I am using 2 floor mats since mine is big now, but if you get the 8 panel version, 1 floor mat should be enough.

The product itself is well built. However it smells absolutely horrible. Like chemicals. It has since the day we took it out of the box. I ended up purchasing something else because I didn't want the baby breathing whatever was used in the production of this product. Very disappointed.

This thing didn't last as quite as long as I would have liked to hope for. Cumbersome to carry and made shottily. Very heavy for an item that is not made so well. I did end up getting enough use out of it, but I always wished I had spent a few more bucks on a better one!

I find this to be a pain in the butt to fold up and unfold. It's also pretty bulky.This design is cute but having the white background behind the design makes me nervous about how well it will clean up as time goes on.

Really easy to assemble, i would ve given it 5 stars but the net is really rough and not soft, my baby girl Broke several nails trying to hold on to it.

It holds 30lbs, not 40 as I'd originally read online. This was disappointing, as I'd specifically bought it for my rather active little guy who is just over 30 and loves to jump after reading that this was one of the few that went up to 40#'s. I'm still using it, but I can imagine that sooner or later we'll be getting cracks in the bottom pad. My really big pet peeve though is the ridiculously large ridge that forms in the very center of the 'mattress'. No matter how I try to pull the padding, it reforms! It goes away when you fold it all up nice and tidy for transport, but as soon as you lay it flat again it's back. I can imagine how uncomfortable it must be to lay on, which is why I'm on here, reviewing the product while I search for an appropriately sized mattress to go in there now. I have never had this issue with any of the other playards we have used. Other than that it's sturdy and I love the snaps for the bottom so kiddos can't pull the pad up.Just be ready to buy a mattress and hope it fits in there well if you buy this particular playard. I don't think I'd do a mattress though for an infant under 12months as it's an added item not tested with this particular product for safety.

I would say that this pack n play is useful. I thought the top part was only useful for a short period of time, probably because we also had a separate co sleeper anyhow, and didn't use this that much. However, we do use the bottom level a lot, esp when travelling. That said, you can buy just the bottom one for a lot cheaper at walmart (40 bucks for any style you like).with regards to this particular pack n play style, i have comments similar to others- relatively light, about 3 pounds heavier than the baby bjorn which is almost 3x as expensive)- easy to set up and fold down (esp if you are NOT using the top attachment, but only the bottom)- I like the wheels to wheel it around- it feels fairly sturdyThings i liked better than the baby bjorn- the sides are low, more mesh, so I felt like the babies were safer sleeping there (heard about this horrific and terrible incident involving a baby suffocating in playard that had high walls)- very very sturdy, feels sturdier than bjorn- has wheelsAnother additional benefit is that it's a fun toy to place with. My daughter likes to stick her face against the mesh and make funny faces. It's pretty damn hilarious

Maybe we waited too long to get one, or maybe our baby just won't be contained, but we got this at age 8 months and he screams and cries if you set him down in it. The idea was that my wife could work in the garden and let our little one hang out near her, but in this yard - no go he screams bloody murder the moment he's set down... It's not really a complaint against this unit which seems well-made - it's just not going to work for our family.

It works great. I bought two sets, one from Amazon and the other from babies r us. I was hoping to combine them to make a bigger area. The two sets' pieces don't fit with each other well. A few pieces orientation is opposite of most of the pieces.

It should have been a 5 stars but it came cracked and missing a peice of plastic. I bought it from warehouse deals and I understand the fact that it could be scratched or discolored but not sharply broken as a baby gate. I contacted Amazon.

This is very sturdy, we use it for our 8 week old puppy. However it is definitely NOT easily portable and NOT easy to assemble, reshape or disassemble. You need brute strength to squeeze or push the accordion type connection down in order insert another panel. My husband is pretty strong, and it was challenging for him. So if you don't have strong hands or a strong upper body, this fence is not for you. It is also quite heavy, and the thought of trying to disassemble and reassemble the pieces is very daunting - we won't be bringing it with us on trips as I had hoped.

I have bought this if I'd realized my baby would be standing up so soon after I bought it. The plastic is very flimsy and wobbles wheb he pulls himself up on it. Also, you have to step one it to get in it so if you're short or uncoordinated, you will have a problem because it's a pain to open it the other way

Based on some reviews, I assumed that this product could be used in a square configuration. However it wobbles way too much when use this way, we called the company and a representative explained that the item was not designed to be used as a square (I believe they sell a 4 panel corral which is used as a square) but in a octagon for maximum stability. Also, some of the panels were a little bent (heat, storage, transport?), I cannot tell if they would have straightened out over time and if other customer had the same experience. We decided to return the item as the octagon configuration will not work in the room (too big). I give a 3 stars because the customer service was good and this product seem good IF used as recommended, in octagon.

This is great EXCEPT for the bassinet pad. It's basically 4 pieces that fold out into the playard. The problem with ours is that it will not lay flat.It puckers in 2 places at the seams. Very disappointed.

Cumbersome to put together and breakdown. Difficult to put back in bag. Directions insufficient.

Very difficult to get the sides to release for break down. It's so hard my wife just leaves it up. This makes it almost useless if you need it to be portable.

VERY disappointed that Pack N Plays are so hard to put together. Though I've used the crap out of this product, putting it together was awful. I will never buy another one again.

I bought this model to replace my old Fisher Price model after my 4-yr-old broke the side rail climbing out. My second child is 10 months old and past the newborn stage so I was looking for a play yard without the bassinet, mobile, changing station, etc. that come with more expensive models. Even though this came with the bassinet it was rated well and was very inexpensive so I went for it. I set it up immediately upon arrival and was just as immediately disappointed. The feature that bothered me the most was the floor pad and how poorly it fit into the bottom. In my Fisher Price play yard the pad anchored under 4 corner pockets and hardly came up at all. Also in the FP model, the pad sat firmly on the leg braces making a very stable floor for sleeping or playing. In this Graco model the floor does have velcro anchors that attach it to the bottom nylon but the floor could still be pulled up despite being velcoed down. Also, the bottom hangs an inch or so above the support rods something like a hammock which did not make a very stable floor on which to stand or sit. The combination of the floor not anchoring securely and the hammock effect made the floor push up on the side of the play yard the baby wasn't on. I just didn't think it would be comfortable or completely safe so I sent it back. I have since purchased a Graco Element Pack n Play - Erin that has the corner pockets inside the play area and has tabs on the bottom of the floor pad that come through the floor and snap the pad down to the cross braces. It also has the velcro tabs which pull through like the cheaper model. The Element model was almost twice as expensive but, as I said, you get what you pay for.

I received the playard three weeks ago and still have not been able to completely get rid of the very strong mildew odor. I have washed all the parts of this playard with several recommended remedies to rid it of the odor but none have been effective in doing so. I don't know where this item was stored before it was shipped but it is dangerous to distribute items for babies or anyone else in this condition. Mildew can be very dangerous if not deadly to people with allergies and respiratory ailments. Babies especially should not be exposed to any odors as strong as this was. The only reason I did not return this item was because I knew that I would only get another one exactly like it. I am not happy wih this purchase . I think that all items should be inspected for problems such as this before they are shipped especially in light of the fact that many people pay extra for express shipping only to get something they can't use. Another thing is that I know Graco products and I am sure that this is not defect in manufacturing.

This thing is definitely not meant to be folded and unfolded often. It doesn't fold too easily. In fact, I generally have to kick it at the joints for it to move at all. It's meant to be sturdy, I'm sure, but it just tries my patience.It's also a bit misleading in saying that it can be re-configured, etc, since for some bizarre reason they've made two types of panel, so that you can only have an even number of panels or they won't connect. It's also very difficult to remove a panel, or to open/close. I have to push really hard, and when my baby is pulling at my shirt at the same time, this becomes nearly impossible.Finally, this thing actually broke after using it 3 times, when I was trying to fold it (should've stuck to the kicking method). Folding is difficult enough that the panels bend a lot before they will fold at the joints, and this time one of them just snapped. Worst of all, when it did, a piece of plastic shattered into a whole lot of tiny pieces that I had to painstakingly recover to make sure my baby won't put them in his mouth (I hope I got them all).The reason I'm giving it 2 stars instead of 1 is that if someone were to set it up and just leave it there, this would be fine. Like I said, it's study enough...

Only had this for a few weeks with minimal use and it's already broken. For the same amount of money you can find something with plastic that's more sturdy. Very disappointed

It appears to be well built, but something is wrong with mine. The unit locks by clicking two sections together; but I can't get the top parts to engage for one section. As soon as my post-surgical dog started getting friskier, he could get out! I've looked and looked but can't find anyplace for customer support, which isn't good.

My kids would hold it and stand up, she was rocking on the panel. It seems like she would fall down on any second. It was very hard to set in up.

My 12 month old can climb it and he's not even walking yet. He pulls up and puts his little toes through the little diamond shapes on the fence. I don't think he would ever get over the whole thing (although eventually maybe), but he starts screaming because he gets stuck and doesn't know how to get down and it clearly hurts his toes. Yes, it is sturdy and I brought it for the great reviews, but for whatever reason this information was left out. Kids can in fact try to climb it. We will be returning unfortunately.

I like the idea of a play yard because we have annoying dogs but this is so loud to set up! Each click to adjust the shape is super loud andstiff. Pretty hard to use of your watching a baby alone.

Item arrived damgaged

The pack and play was broken on delivery

It has a verse strong musty or like a mildew smell to it. I even tried to air it out before I put my baby in it but the smell didn't go away so I am in the process of returning it.

When I received it the mat was already coming apart

The mattress was warped

Chemical odor won't go away and mattress lumpy. Returned. Not good for baby. Tried to air out. Didn't help. Too bad.

Arrived broken! One piece is cracked all the way through. Can't hold weight and has long, sharp, jagged splinters. Not safe for baby!

Horrible.. broke a panel after two days... Not worth 90!

Not sturdy at all. Baby could move it easily and really difficult to assemble and disassemble.

One of the panels broke the first time I used it. I was folding the panels and one snapped near the connection point, it is now razor sharp and useless.

I tried closing it up and it broke. Hard to maneuver.

This is item is not worth your money. Looks like cheap plastic. Mine came full of dust without any cover.Really cheap plastic. Blurry colors not happy at all.
