Side by Side Comparison of: Evenflo vs Graco

This is perfect, thank you, love, love, love it!

Even cuter in person. Seems to be very sturdy but didn't have instructions.

Beautiful

Pretty tricky to put together but I like all the features. Will update once baby is here.

Easy to clean and pack up. Super cute design!

Love this. Wonderful space saver and keeps baby close by at night without having to go to another area to change baby in the middle of the night.

Love all the different functions of the playyard. Used bassinet by itself for a while and then used diaper changing table and playyard on high bed setting. Now finally using as a pack and play and still love it. Easy to setup and take down. Use it on the go all the time. Love it!

I purchased this for my Grandson and his Mommy and Daddy absolutely love the portable crib! It is a great product and they are very happy with it.

It's everything we wanted! The baby loves the rocker and the mommy loves the whole wonderful convenient package.

It's perfect!!!

We bought it for our first one, I thought if this doesn't work we cant always buy a wooden crib for her later. But we are still using it 18 months later and will keep using it for my second one in two months. I love the small bed which you can take out and put in the living room, also there is a changing table, place to put diapers, wipes and cream. I bought a mattress later, the one with this is too thin and hard. We went to a road trip last summer, we also brought this with us, so easy to carry and set up. Baby slept better with herself.

I bought this elsewhere during a great sale. I always read amazon reviews before I make purchases, particularly baby products. Some of the reviews made me nervous so I wanted to share my experience thus far. My son is a little over 5 months old. We have a two-story house. His crib and changing pad are upstairs while this pack n play is downstairs.Cuddle cove- This thing was awesome. My son was a little premature and always balled up so he needed some nesting to be able to stay on his back. This fit the ticket. The vibration was our savior while he slept in this because it helped him fall asleep. The canopy was great to block out light from the bathroom door or hallway. It's removable so I've even put it on our rock n play too. He slept in it for about two months until he became too tall for it. I didn't find it too soft to be a safety concern at all. I'm a neurotic NICU nurse so I definitely wouldn't have used it if I felt it was unsafe.Noise machine- I used the nature sounds and it also plays music. The vibration unit can be moved from the cuddle cove to the bassinet (raised pack n play bottom). There is a button to control the vibration on here. The most useful tool is the flashlight feature which I didn't fully appreciate for at least a month or two. I put it next to the cuddle cove and it points down to be able to check on the baby in the middle of the night. The light can point either up, down, or both. I would block the downward-facing light with my hand when I was worried about waking the baby.Changing pad- This had me most worried because of the reviews. We've used this changing pad for 95% of his diaper changes since he was born over 5 months ago. There's a slight slant so when he was a newborn, I laid him more toward the interior and he laid just fine (see pic). Once he got a little bigger and not so curled up, I've been able to lay him down in the center. He's almost 16 lbs and it still works great for us. The storage tray is great too. The one closest to us is used for diapers, the big center one holds wipes, and the furthest one hold diaper cream.Pack and play- The actual play yard is great as expected. The bottom raises up to be a bassinet. You can buy sheets to put over the bottom. You could also buy a mattress of sorts but it hasn't been necessary for us. Once our son can sit or pull up, we'll lower it to normal level to use a containment device for safe play and naps.This pack and play has been the best purchase we've made and I'm glad I gave it a shot. I recommend it to my friends and have every intention of using it again when we decide to have another baby.UPDATE: My son is now 10.5 months old and we still use this everyday. He happily plays in the playpen and we still use the changing pad. Nearly every diaper change for the past 10.5 months has taken place on this changing pad and my husband and I are really sad that our son is about to hit the weight limit (25 lb). It has been SO convenient!

Set up is fine. Great product for the price I paid. Didnt come with instructions so we had to guess our way to set it up. The diaper holder thing also does not connect anywhere. Disappointed in that but we made it work

My son loves this thing !Very good product.The diaper holder was handy

Ordered four of these items, they are stylist and a space saver

Bought this as a gift and she loved it.

Great for the price, but no assembly instructions. Usually Pack and plays come assembled. Took about an hour to put together. other than that it is wonderful!

Had a little trouble getting bottom pushed down. Thought I'd broken it, but its' fine now.

I do like it and can't wait to use it after I have my baby but will say that putting together the bassinet/portable rocker piece was a pain in the butt. I hope I get my monies worth!

Just received it. Was amazed at the time it takes to deliver. I was quoted 3 weeks for delivery but I received it in less than a week. Spent 2.5 hours assembling it as I'm heavily pregnant. Instructions were simple and easy to follow although the rocker part I had to back track once. It is not as sturdy as I would like it to be but is still pretty good. Also the storage compartments were a little too small for my liking but I'm sure I'll be able to use it for something. So far the changing table seems sturdy n doesn't bend when I put pressure on it. To be honest I was a bit shocked by how strong the vibration gadget is. Guess I'll have to wait till the baby arrives to see if he likes it. All in all I love this pack and play and I can see myself using it and loving it.

Once put together it looks and functions great! Putting it together though was a bit harder than you'd expect. And the removable sleeper was the word part. The only downside that I can see so far is that the whole "portable" thing is hit or miss, yes everything comes apart, and the crib/playard folds up, but the sleeper, changing station, and cubbies, do not and do not fit in the bag that they give you for travel, so you need to carry them around separately. Other than these minor things, we love this thing!

PROS:Works great - easy to set up/take down. I really like the changing table and the transition bed closer to the top is really nice for our younger baby. I love that the bassinet was detachable. He could fall asleep upstairs and we could bring him to the room without disturbing precious baby slumbers.CONS:The vibrator on the bassinet was a let-down because it only worked some of the time. It seemed to have an issue turning off and on, which was dissappointing because my son loved using it so it would have been nice if it worked all the time. Tge detachable shade bar thing above the bassinet was super cheap-o chinsy, especially compared to the rest of the item. The detachable diaper station on the side is a nice idea but it falls off constantly. These don't really seem like huge issues but I guess I expected a lot more for something so expensive.

I love the colors, and having a playpen around with a baby is very convenient. However, the changing station, is not very sturdy. My son is almost 3 months old now, but since before he was 2 months old the changing station began to dip a little when placing him in it. He only weighed 10 pounds at the time when he started weighing it down. My guess is that I won't be able to use it at all in the next month or so because of the issue.It has a light which was fantastic for the first few weeks when he roomed in with us. Not having to turn on my bright bedroom light at night saved me some time because he didn't fully wake up.I haven't really used the newborn napper, but it looks comfy.

I really liked the damask design on this pack n play which is primarily why I bought it. I also liked the changing seat for the downstairs level of our home. The little cuddle cove seat is cute, but we didn't get much use out of it since we have a swing and moses basket and held our newborn most of the time. The changing seat also didn't see much use because it seems to not hold weight as well after baby hits about 12-13 lbs. It seemed to sag and I didn't feel safe changing her in it from then on. It should really have more than just two posts to secure it and make it more sturdy. The changing accessories also are not very easy to travel with as they don't fit well into the folded up pack n play. Overall, I like this design and would purchase it again if I could choose over again.

This play yard was not that simple to put together. Couldn't find any directions.

Looks good but very flemsy. Not very sturdy.

Bassinet seems a little unsteady and mattress is so hard but overall is a great product.

Just got it in the mail the other day. Hubby set it up while I was at work to surprise me when I got home. He said it wasn't too difficult to put together and it did come with instructions unlike most reviews on here suggested that it doesn't. It looks real cute and I am happy with that part. Baby isn't here yet so we dont know how he'll like it yet though.. But my only issue right now is when we went to try to fold it up, a couple tiny black pieces broke off from the bottom somewhere making it to where the bottom part does not lock in place thats suppose to prevent it from folding up when being moved around. Im not sure if this is gonna be a safety issue or not. It doesn't seem it should have broke so easily when he was just trying to follow directions on folding it.

Sent back because they already had one

Flimsy, difficult construction. Had to reinforce some things.

Very pretty but it would have been So Great if it came with directions took forever to put together without them Can't even find them on the web

I'd review it higher if we could get the music counsel to work. It's such a nice and convenient all-in-one with a great vibrating bed convenient changer (we bought the washable pads for the changer, since the changer alone is cold and that is unpleasant for newborns).

One of the hooks was missing to attach the side tray. Luckily it's nothing that a zip tie can't handle, but a bit disappointing that it was missing the part.

Changing table is not legit. baby rolls to one side due to uneven weight distribution. The rest is awesome

Only bad thing to say is that the little canopy cover thing for the basinet is extremly loose. You attach it by shoving the left and right side over the basinet corners. It's supposed to have enough gripping power to hold it I guess however ours gets loose within seconds. It's honestly a hazard as I can imagine it falling on a baby. It wasn't always loose. Hmm I think I should actually call the company or take pictures.

Love this pack n play. Giving it a 3 as the bassinet shade cover pops over very easily. I came into room when baby was a week old to find baby's face covered with the shade. I don't think the shade is safe! The rest is great. We just used the bassinet without the shade.

This product didn't last two months. It will not lock therefore is unsafe to use. Be careful

This came with no instructions! Thank goodness we figured it out with you tube.

Bought it for my new grandson to have at our house. It MIGHT be a good placard but considering there are NO instructions nor can we find any online or at Evenflo, not impressed

I wish I could give this product a better review. We purchased months in advance of having our son, so it sat in the box. I wish we would have got it out and played with it ahead of time.... I would have sent it back. This is not our first child, but there is an 8 year gap between our youngest and "new" youngest, so we had gotten rid of our previous baby items. For my last child, we had a Grayco Pack n Play.... I wish we would have purchased another one of those. It was SO easy to use.Issues with this one: The bottom of the unit flexes, it is not solid to the frame. This means as baby moves, he REALLY moves.... making it much harder for him to stay asleep (we end up wedging towels or laundry underneath to beef it up a bit). After the third use, the handle that is sewn to the strap to collapse the base frame, came off (the strap that feeds up through the bottom). Also, the base does not collapse properly, you really have to work at it and find the sweet spot for it to fold up and fit inside the mat that folds around the unit. I suppose we could just "force it" but it feels like it will break if we do.All in all, great concept.... poor execution and design. I suggest testing different models out at the store before purchasing.

I love the style of this pack and play. My 5 month old doesn't seem to like it...yet. The mattress is wobbly and not secure in place like I assumed it would be. That's with all the parts connected.Also, it did not come with an instruction manual. Had to find one online. Smh

It's ok.

I bought this along with the Graco Stylus Click Connect Travel System. I must say they are not assembled as yet but given what I have seen I am very disappointed. I hate the material and the inside pieces that seems very soft and cushiony from the pictures are thin and will definitely need added cushion. I absolutely love the color though and think they will serve their purpose. However, had I live in the US I would have return them. This is my first child so I might be a little overly critical.

The changer is really fragile, but this is not why I am so unhappy about the product. The electronic device (that is suposed to play different sounds) does not work. I don't want the work to send the whole package back just because one piece is broken, and I didn't find another way to get a new device. So, I think I will stay unhappy.

Safety was a big concern of mine when assembling this unit....which I might say, get ready to spend a good amount of time in assembly if you buy this. The instructions on assembly are far too vague!! There are pages in various other languages, and you have to flip through to get to the English version scattered in with the other languages. One of the latches was broken which could have posed a safety hazard. I'm surprised Graco would make the assembly so difficult, the instructions so vague, and increase the possibility of a defective piece like this. I think they try to break the unit down to fit it into the smaller box, but that just gives the buyers a bunch more pieces and steps (not to mention a confusing instructional manual) to try and figure out the assembly. Overall, I'm frustrated and sending it back. Don't want the worries regarding safety issues, and I don't feel the assembly of a playpen should take more than if I was assembling a full-sized crib. Very disappointing!

I research several models before purchasing this one. Overall would be a great product except one major issue on the changing station/table. If you look at the product the changing table is only supported by the two legs attached (clip in) to the actual pack and play. The other side of the changing station has no support whatsoever. So the changing station just hangs on those 2 legs, which does not support the changing table. My baby always slides to one side towards the side with no support legs. She is only 9lbs, it always tilts to the side. My niece who stayed with me for a month, she is 20 lbs and it's even worst she, if she lifted her head up she could almost roll over because the side isn't that deep. She's always sliding towards the side and makes it hard to change a diaper because. So the changing table is unsafe and dangerous. It's disappointing because other colors in the similar/same model, that come in Glacier or Elm, has support clips on the other side of the changing table, which offer way more support. Look closely at the pictures yourself. I went to Target, and looked at some display models, that have those support legs/clips to help make it more balance. DO NOT PURCHASE this product if you are planning to use the changing station, it is not balance, stable or safe. It doesn't make any sense why some models have the standing clips and some don't. Also the shade on the cuddle cove rocker never stays on it always moves or comes off as noted in other reviews. Otherwise, I do like the product but the changing table is a big NO NO.

We used this pack n play for about 3 mo until my little one grow out of the cuddle cove. When I first got it I loved the color and the design but when it was time to put it together was a PAIN!!!!! I usually like putting stuff together. (I love IKEA LOL!) but this was the most annoying baby item that I had to put together. I could have waited for my husband but I was so excited so I started putting it together while 8 mo pregnant. This pack n play IS NOT user friendly never mind pregnant lady friendly. When our baby came I noticed the changing table is awful. It leans in and is not very safe or stable. I liked the caddy but there is no place to truly secure it so it comes off very easily. The "mattress" is like carton board and when I started placing my baby in the bassinet area to sleep he was so uncomfortable because the mattress keep sinking in the middle. Awful!! I finally got rid of it. I paid 200+ for it. With 130 I bought the nuna sena mini. Best decision ever. Super super super easy to open and close. No tubes or anything like that to thread through... The mattress is way more sturdy and comfortable. It has a way smaller footprint so it doesn't take much space in our room. The graco pack n play is supposed to be versatile for travel but I thank God that I got rid of it before I had to travel with it. Can you imagine traveling 12+ hr with your infant, getting to a hotel all tired, the baby is crying and screaming and you still have a bunch of tubes to put it to install the crib?!?! Trust me. Spend your money elsewhere. This graco pack n play is a waste of your money and energy.

My only complaint is that the changing table is weak and sags. My newborn, who is about 8 lbs goes to one side. The design is weak and I hope I'm able to return it. There is no way my growing baby will be able to be safe on the changing table. The older pac n plays do not have this issue. My sister has 2 of them and non of them have this problem. Wish I hadn't waited so long to set it up. Hope I'm still able to return it.

Horrible product. I've tried multiple different ways of locking this device and the middle still pops up. I've tried doing just the middle first then all of the sides. Then I've tried doing the sides first then pushing down the middle. I have the wheels on so it should lock, but after a few seconds it pops right back up. This means it isn't sturdy, and when you move it it will collapse even more. Very unsafe. I would not trust my kid in this, even if I am standing right there.I would have returned it but I bought this a few months before my kid was born, and stupid me waited to put it together. I wish I could either get a new one, or get my money back. Either way, be very careful with this product! and make sure it will stay, and not collapse before you put your kid in it.

VERY flimsy, not study at all Doesn't seem to be safe at all. And not easy to assemble or put up and take down. I returned immediately!!!

Very poor quality. It took us a while to put this playard together. Even after that changing table was still falling off it. We are not able to use it. I got it for my newborn daughter, so I was hoping to use its elevated level at the beginning, however, metal parts are so rigid and padding is so thing that baby simply feels truly uncomfortable laying in it. We ended up bying a different one.

Breaks easy on second and it broke also.

Awful. So hard to put together. No directions.

great product.poor instructions on setting up on manual. so I never got the real full use of it

Did not receive all parts are needed for changing table. It is a pain to put together, other than that I'm sure it's a good product. I wish Graco had a better customer service to fix the issue for I almost had the thing together. Now I can't get in back into box to ship back.

This product is made pretty flimsy. The plastic parts look like it came from the 99 cent bin. First off, the assembly instruction is poorly written and pieces are not labeled at all! So after you decipher the poorly written manual, you then have to figure out which parts goes where. I'm a pretty handy guy but this monster took me over 2 frustrating hours to assemble.All in all, I would steer away from this product. Looks good from 10 ft away, but close up, parts are of bad quality and frustrating to assemble.The good news is, I get to throw it away after 9 months when my baby grows up. *sigh*

This was a gift. The arm of the Crib was broken and would not latch. Graco does not offer customer service on the weekend to help solve problems. We contacted them on Friday and didn't receive a response until the following Tuesday. After viewing several you tube "how to" videos, we still could not get the arm to lock in place. This crib is very cumbersome and heavy. It does not close easy, and I can't imagine traveling with this. I will look for a different manufacturer for a play yard and will not purchase any Graco products in the future.

This was very disappointing. It felt cheap and flimsy and I ended up giving it away.

I am just about to write a letter of complaint to Graco. This design is terrible. In theory it is such a good idea, but if you look, the changing table is actually only held up on one side - there is no support on the inner side so after just a few weeks of use, it began to 'tilt' and sag. I had to prop it up with boxes underneath, but of course then you can't use the bassinet or the playard. It's also RIDICULOUS how the weight limit for the bassinet is 15lbs but the weight limit for the changing table is 25lbs!!! The changing table tilted before my son reached 10lbs. He is 16lbs now and it is unusable. If I were to use it without propping it, my baby would roll right off (and not just because he's started rolling but because the table tilts and sags). I wish I'd thought about it more before I bought it because really, how can something which is only held up on one side, remain stable and balanced and hold 25lbs???? I just liked the 4 in 1 idea. Unfortunately, it doesn't work and could have dangerous consequences.
