IMHO-I don't know much about this brand, but it is kind if expensive - I would recommend saving a little $$ and getting a Graco one.

Re: Need Some advice on this play yard..help!

I have a graco...and yet its still in the box...so I cant give you my opinion one way or another...

For me-it was a waste of money....We never use it... If we happen to go away, it will come in handy...but while we are home we dont use it

We did find a Graco we llike too, I just kind of liked the fact that this one had the additional bassinet with it so we could use that in the bedroom and then play yard itself in the livingroom.

I'm just getting overwhelmed with this baby-stuff/registering! Chat Icon

imo my son hated the bassinet in the playard. We did use the changing table alot. During the day he naps in the swing, bouncy or car.

I'm with Jen on the Graco. I had one & used it a lot. It also depends on what accessories are important. While the storage on the side is nice - I opted for the one with the sun canopy - for when I was outside on our deck or on vacation at the pool.

Hayley uses hers all the time. I have a Graco and it was almost as much as the one you are looking at.

I have the Eddie Bauer play yard and we use it all the time. We used the bassinet attachment when he was smaller. If you have a two story house it's great to have a place for the baby to sleep when you are downstairs.

I haven't heard anything about the Combi one that you posted.

I have the Graco one with the bassinet and changing table. We keep it in the den, and used the changing table on it when Cassidy was smaller. She never napped in the bassinet part, always in her crib.
Now that she's bigger, the bassinet part is out and she uses the bottom for her playpen. She really likes it in there and can't get into too much troubleChat Icon
