I also chose this exact pack n play system and it has been so amazing!! Having a portable bassinet with stand as well as a portable diaper changing station has been such a lifesaver and so much cheaper than buying all the items separately. My baby is 4 months old and just starting to grow out of the portable bassinet. I had my husband help put the portable bassinet together and he was able to put it together quite simply with just a little force. Once it was put together though we didn’t have to take it down again until she was over 4 months old (or as stated on the bassinet once baby is able to roll over or over 15 lbs whichever comes first) and we only did so for storage purposes to use with my next child. If you had room you could prob keep it installed. I will be using the pack n play with a mattress as her crib. Due to the fact we travel frequently as well as I prefer mesh to the slats on a standard crib that babies get their arms and legs stuck in way too frequently. I would 100% recommend this pack n play system over any other due to the convenience and functionality!
It’s been two years and two babies later, and I can confirm that we like this setup! Having a safe bedside bassinet while also having the close by changing table has been great for our family. The pack n play has also been used a ton as a crib for nights away from home. There are however some things about it that don’t make sense. *Just so everyone knows* the pack n play is not standard measurements for some reason, but we’ve been able to use a standard size playyard mattress and sheets with no problems. The bassinet mattress is also not a standard shape and is very flimsy, so bassinet sheets don’t fit which is the only thing I really don’t like about this product. The bassinet mattress is also foam and not waterproof, so we use a thin waterproof changing table mat underneath the provided cloth cover so that it doesn’t get ruined since it cannot go into the washing machine.
Hi!! Tysm for this video. Can you share what mattress / mattress sheets you got? I’m very interested in buying this but we want to buy non toxic mattress and sheets for it and like you said, not standard size so confused on if that’s possible
It’s very complicated and took forever to figure it out. You have to feed it through this tiny hole on the bottom of the bassinet, and then it connects underneath. If you don’t feed it through the hole just right then the cord isn’t long enough to reach and it’s very frustrating 😕
The bassinet definitely wasn’t the easiest to put together, but the packnplay was of course super easy. It was so long ago now that I don’t remember where the instructions are, but if for some reason you don’t have any I’m sure you can fine it in pdf online
It’s currently sold out on the Graco website, but I purchased mine online through BuyBuyBaby. From what I can tell, it’s not sold in stores and is online only.
We struggled and thought it wasn’t long enough as well, but we eventually figured it out! There’s a hole that it feeds through making it just the right length.
Just in case someone's trying to find the hole. From the bottom push up on the cushion, eventually a gap in the fabric through the base will appear. Slide the cord through. Great video btw
Yes! You have to be careful with pack n play sleeper attachments because they are only meant for supervised naps; however, this one comes with a true bassinet on its own stand that is made for safe nighttime sleep.

Thank you for talking about safe sleep! I just bought this while it's on sale, and this video made me feel better about my purchase!
My baby is 4 1/2 months old now and is still sleeping in the bassinet. We love it!
I'm sitting here two years after you made this video seeing how in the world I do the bassinet part 😅
I honestly don’t know if I could do it again lol it was hard
I have this same one due in a couple weeks. It was very easy to put together
This seemed like a lot of work 😅 so excited for baby girl tho!!!
I can't find that specific one. I like your stand better than the ones I'm finding on the internet.
It’s currently sold out on the Graco website, but I got mine online through BuyBuyBaby!
I might’ve missed it, but where do you plug the wire at? For the two setting vibration

Are you going to have any more videos
I just had another baby and am officially back making videos! Hope you can stick around on my channel 😊
Lordt this looks difficult. Where did you find the instructions in the box? I don't see mine.

Hey, thanks for replying. I found the instructions on the side of the pack-n-play and online. Thank you.
Hello! Where did u buy? I only can find it available from the manufacturer website
I purchased mine from BuyBuyBaby because the manufacturer was out of stock
Kohl's is also carrying it. All prices seem to be the same, though for this model.
I just bought mine on Amazon, its currently 30% off for Black Friday
Did you buy sheets for the bassinet ?
They unfortunately don’t make sheets that really fit it for safe sleep conditions so I used blankets and tucked them really well
Hi, where did you purchase? Not finding it anywhere
It’s currently sold out on the Graco website, but I purchased mine online through BuyBuyBaby. From what I can tell, it’s not sold in stores and is online only.
I purchased mine through buy buy baby as well.
Does the bassinet rock while on the stand?
It’s doesn’t rock while on the stand, only when used on a flat surface
However, it does still have the two-speed vibrating function
Did you find that the plug was too short?
I am struggling with the plug too.
I don’t understand how it works.

Is this one sleep safe?
Yes! You have to be careful with pack n play sleeper attachments because they are only meant for supervised naps; however, this one comes with a true bassinet on its own stand that is made for safe nighttime sleep.
