Changing pad of tilted down to one side. My baby is only 8 lbs and I do not feel I can safely change her on here.

Changing pad needs more support
Easy to assemble, but the changing pad needs support on the inside. It's wobbly and my baby was sliding to the side because of that.

Deal-breaking design flaws
Received this as a shower gift 5 months ago. Setup and takedown are easy and it’s a convenient size. Unfortunately the changing attachment is unusable because its design lacks sufficient support and it slopes so severely the baby started rolling when we placed her on it, even when she was a tiny newborn. Additionally, after we began using it for sleep the mattress started bunching. Within a month or two it became so uneven it no longer feels safe to use for sleep despite trying a number of mattress covers and sheets to try to flatten it out. The mattress is foldable, and consists of four rigid pieces wrapped in fabric and thin cushioning. For some reason these stiff pieces are not connected to each other, causing the end pieces to shift and float on top of the middle pieces when weight (like a sleeping baby) is placed in the middle. This leaves each end much higher than the middle. It’s an inexplicable design flaw that appears to be a consistent issue for everyone using this piece of equipment - I’m surprised we haven’t seen a recall because there’s no way this is safe and Graco is well aware of it.

Mattress bunching makes this a safety risk, very disappointed I can’t continue using this for rooming in with baby and for travel. We tried using sheets and a waterproof cover and the bunching only got worse. Think before you buy.

I looked forward to using this for rooming in with baby and travel but the mattress will not lie flat. It seems like a safety risk, think before you buy.

Disappointed with the lack of support on changer
We received the simple solution pack and play as a gift, I’ve always used Graco equipment, the concept of changer is great but there is no support in the inner side of the changer and my son rolls to the side . I keep new packs of diapers under the changer but there has to be a better way to secure the inner 2 corners/side of the changer. Ideas welcome

Disappointing
We’ve been using the pack n play now every night for about 2 months and I’m so disappointed in the quality of the product. The mattress has bunched up on one side and then the other side it seems to be sinking in the middle where my son sleeps, making it very unsafe and nerve wracking at night when he’s sleeping. The only nice thing about this product is how convenient it is to set up and tear down.

Bunching of mattress
I received this pack and play from my registry and assembled it after baby was born. The foldable mattress kept bunching at 2 spots in both the bassinet set up and regular set up (where the four corners were snapped), making the mattress unsafe. The bunching got even worse when trying to put a waterproof mattress cover and sheet over the mattress. Wish I had read more reviews of this product and the issue regarding the bunching of the mattress before adding it to my registry. Not happy with this product as I was hoping to use this for travel and the first year for baby.

Quality product as advertised
The pack and play was exactly what we were looking for. Easy set up, take down, and transport. Bassinet and changing area are good for those newborn / younger days. Quality product as advertised and consistent with the other pack and plays. Great to have on 1F of house for diaper changes, naps and contained play, along with travel.

Mattress issues
Bought this is 2021. It didn't even last a year before the mattress got all bunched up inside ita cover and it will not flatten back out. It's no longer safe to use. I tried to purchase a replacement mattress but I guess it's not available? Horrible. I have a different model pack n play that has not done this and lasted longer.

Debatable
I bought 2 of these for my twins! We’ve only had them about 4 months and the mattress parts in both are god awful. They’re bunched up, neither will lay flat and on one the mattress won’t even stay still. It slides to one end and tries to fold. I loved the design but figured I would get more use out of them. I’ve never disappointed

Poor design
I received this pack and play for my first child and was so excited to use it. However, the design is poorly made. The changing table slopes down and I fear my newborn will roll right off. It seems extremely unsafe. I am surprised this product as not been recalled. Then the mattress is warped after one wash, even when following the directions on how to wash it. I wish I saw these reviews below before buying this product.

Changing table problems
We're on day 5 of using the changing table portion for our 8lb newborn. Since day one, is has sloped downward. Good idea but not executed very well.

Changing Table is Not Safe
The changing table is sloped toward the center of the pack n play since it is only supported at one end. This causes my baby to naturally lean and roll towards the center ledge, which I am not confident is high enough to prevent baby from rolling off the changing table. This makes changing difficult since you have to make sure your baby doesn't roll towards the ledge while try to grab wipes, clothes, without changing. On this table I only feel comfortable if I have at least one hand on my baby at all times to ensure they don't roll.

Sloping chaning table
Recently received Pack n Play Simple Solutions Playard. The changing table only has supports on one side so it slopes. Its not safe. Will not be able to use as baby gets older because it won't support. Baby needs to lay on back while being changed and not rolling to one side due to lack of table support. Also, the crib mesh is black so you can't see thru to monitor sleeping infant,

Easy to use, except for changing table
I was so excited to find this pack n play. It seems easy to use, compact for traveling, and it’s budget-friendly. I got it during my baby shower and wanted to set it up right away to make sure everything worked right. It was very easy to setup and take down. The only problems I found were with the changing table. It can’t come apart once you put it together! One of the main reasons I picked this pack n play is because it seems so travel friendly. I was able to get the side tubes undone so the table folds some, but it’s still too long to fit in the bag. Very disappointing. Also, the changing table is only supported on one side, so I’m not sure if my baby will cause it to slope towards the middle. Time will tell there.

Design flaws
Super easy to put together but the changing table was very poorly designed. It slopes down even without a baby in it and makes diaper changes hard. Our mattress also has a large bump in it going across the whole thing which makes me nervous to put my newborn on that side. I definitely wish we would have gone with a different model of pack n play.

Horrible Diaper Changing Station
We got this to travel to the grandparents houses and it is horrible. The diaper changing station slopes so much when our newborn is in it. She was only 8.5 pounds and it sloped so bad she would slant to the side. Diaper changing is so difficult in it. Not worth the money.

Dads love these too!
Come on Graco, it's 2023 - enough with the "moms love these" descriptions already!!! Dads do their fair share of "Daddy put down", getting the little ones off to sleep, and who's setting up and folding away and carrying these cribs? Yep, we do that too, just as well as the moms. Rant over, please take Dads into consideration, we love these products too! Thanks Graco.

Overall satisfied but mattress issues
Overall the bassinet feature has been useful but more we’ve had an issue with the mattress popping up on one side with or without a sheet when used in the bassinet feature. When my daughter was a newborn I wasn’t as concerned as she didn’t move much in her sleep but as she’s gotten more mobile I’m concerned that the mattress isn’t very secure.

Mattress does not lay flat/ changing table bends
This pack n play is ok, but the mattress that comes with it will not lay flat and sheets cause the foldable pieces to overlap. The changing table cannot handle the weight of a baby. My 12 week old causes the changing table to bend and then she rolls to one side. It makes changing her very difficult.

Simple and easy.
We bought this one for our second baby. The one we had with out first was big and bulky. This one is simple and easy. The changing table works for us and is super helpful/the reason we went with this one. Only downside is the padding in the mattress will not lay flat. With safe sleep guidelines, the bunching makes me uncomfortable. Not sure if we can find a way to replace the mattress only?

Great pack and play but the two pieces (part H) to attach the changing table we’re missing so we can’t use that feature.

Changing table storage.
Sets up easy. Can’t figure out how the changing table is stored? Not in instructions and is not easy to figure out.

Changing Table Needs Support
I use this for my grandson. The changing table sloped towards the inside of the play yard long before his current weight of 12lbs 10oz. There seems to be an insert in the fabric underneath the table where a supporting rod could be placed. Is there one available for purchase? Please advise.

Highly Recommended
The Pack 'n Play is awesome. It easily folds up for storage and the changing table is sturdy. We are new Grandparents and purchased two (we have 2 homes) as we use them as a "crib".

Confused about Weight Limits
Overall this seems like a great product until you realize the bassinet insert can only hold up to 15 pounds, but the changing table holds up to 25 pounds. Why wouldn't they be the same weight? My son happens to be a tad chunky and I cannot use the bassinet part anymore and he's only three months. It would have made more sense to have both parts carry the same size baby. It has worked great in our living room. The changing table does slope a bit but has not been detrimental to our use, unlike other reviews.
