Exceedingly Mediocre
First off, this package came without assembly directions; so I had to painstakingly put this thing together through trial and error when I was 2 days postpartum. However, I think I did a decent job actually so I’m going to assume the missing directions in my package was a fluke and try to review this product as fairly as possible. Which brings me to my first point: assembly. Setting up the actual pack and play part was easy-peasy. Even adding the infant sling was super straight forward. But adding the bassinet and changing station was NOT straightforward. I literally still can’t figure out how to add the changing station (see picture). Comfort: again, the pack ‘n play part is actually nice. The sleeping pad is nicely cushioned, but not so much that it could cause anxiety about letting your baby sleep on it. Just much softer than the usual pads. But the bassinet seems flimsy and cheap. It’s also super small. My newborn was 7lbs when born and he barely fit in it. Also, the changing pad seemed okay, more on the flimsy side but I can’t know for sure because I couldn’t install the dang thing. Quality: the quality is unfortunately very mediocre. It just seems like every part of this product was made with the cheapest material possible. The bassinet seems flimsy and unstable. The “toys” that hang off the bassinet are only attached via cheap Velcro that could easily be ripped off. The “wood” accent legs are clearly plastic and fake looking. Portability: I didn’t actually have a chance (or more like reason) to move it yet, but I can tell via the assembly it’s going to suck. There’s like 6 buttons you need to press to make the thing collapse and they seem difficult to release. The mattress wraps around the base, which will be nice, but disassembling it first will be super annoying. Overall: I was actually very excited to try this product out for my 2nd baby. But now that I’ve used it for a couple weeks, I’m a bit disappointed. Don’t get me wrong, it did the job it was supposed to, but like the bare minimum. It doesn’t look as nice as I thought it would. The bassinet is cheap and small, so it will probably only last until my child is 3 weeks old maximum. I can’t comment on the changing station, but doesn’t seem great either. And its portability seems annoying at best. It’s very middle of the road, with lots of other similar products that are both better and worse than this one. I received this product for free in exchange for an honest review via the Stellar program.

Solid Basic Pack and Play
This is a solid Graco pack & play and the addition of the bassinet is great. It makes it very easy to grow with your baby - if you're like me, you need a place to put your baby in when you're in a living space, and this is great because you can use the bassinet if they are asleep or the pack & play space if they are awake and as they grow. It was easy to set up, though I wish it were lighter and easier to take down - this won't be our go-to for travel given the components and it was tough for me to break down with one hand (though my husband can make it happen). However, the value is definitely in the multiple functions, especially in the early newborn days! Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this baby playard.

Great Playard for Your Home and Peace of Mind
Thank you to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for giving me this amazing playard! I was so happy to receive this as my infant just recently started scooting around and then army crawling the same week I set this up! I was so relieved to have a safe space for him that also seamlessly blended into my home decor. As a mom of two, my home has definitely been taken over by my children and items they need so I genuinely appreciate something that is made for children while still keeping the style and aesthetic of the home in mind. I loved the look and modern design of this playard as it goes perfectly with my furniture and decor. Having it has definitely made life easier with a mobile infant as it provided me with an instantly safe space for him to be when I need to tend to my older child or take care of something in the house. Since my infant son is now mobile and has outgrown the two bassinet attachments, I found the full playard the most useful. I also love the option to use the diaper changing attachment as it's always nice to have another diapering station in the home. I know the bassinet attachments will definitely become useful when we do have another newborn, but for now the full playard is most useful to me to provide a safe space for my infant son. I loved the fabrics of this playard; they were so soft compared to others I have used in the past. My only wish is that they would be machine washable or at least removable from the frame to be able to hand wash them. I also loved the accents as the light woodgrain style of the frame looks so nice. This playard has become an item I use daily, whether its a play space or somewhere for him to lay down, I know I can set him down and he will be safe. With a newly mobile infant, this is such a relief, especially when I am busy helping my toddler, preparing a meal, or picking up around the house. This playard was very easy to set up and to be honest I've been using it so much I haven't had a need to take it down! As I have previously used other Graco Pack 'n Play Playards, I'm confident it will be just as easy to store away. I do wish the other accessories and attachments could store into the bag as well or came with their own storage bag. Compared to other playards I have used in the past, the ease and convenience of this one is wonderful! It took me just a couple minutes to put together and is lightweight as well, making it a breeze to move around the house if needed. Overall, I am very happy with the Graco Pack 'n Play CareSuite Bassinet Lux Playard and think it is a wonderful help and addition to the home!

So impressed
Graco has knocked it out of the park with this Pack ‘n Play for our baby. The blue/gray colors with wood accents are gorgeous and modern. The colors fit in perfectly in our family room-both in style and color. We are currently using the zip-in bassinet stage but getting ready to change into the full sized playard. It’s an easy and safe spot for our baby, who’s the youngest of four, to be comfortable and off the ground (and out of harm’s way!) The set up was easy and we put it together within 5 minutes. The differences I notice from this model compared to the older ones are- the zippered bassinet and the changing table attachment are both much sturdier, there are no longer wheels on 2 of the legs, and the mattress is cushier. I was given this baby playard to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel.

Classic Play Yard with Modern Design
The Graco Pack 'n Play CareSuite Bassinet Lux Playard is a great addition to our home in anticipation of our new baby girl. Graco Pack 'n Play is the gold standard for a reason and this version steps it up with well thought out attachments and modern color scheme. The bassinet and changing pad will be incredibly useful for the first few months. We feel very comfortable that our baby girl will be able to sleep comfortably and safely in the bassinet whether we are at home or on the go. The Pack 'n Play sets up and tears down so easily that I know we will move it around our house and take it on visits to the grandparents or friends for easy access throughout the day. Compared to older models that my family owns this one was easier to setup and tear down. Even new parents like us were able to do it without ant instruction or prior experience. The updated colors of.this model fit perfectly with our modern but classic style and seem as though they will be easy to keep clean as she grows. Although we haven't had baby girl yet we look forward to using this Pack 'n Play on a daily basis. Thank you Stellar Product Testing Panel for sending us the Graco Pack 'n Play CareSuite Bassinet Lux Playard. We can't wait to use it for our baby girl in a few weeks!

sleek style and ultimate comfort
This playard takes the cake! I have owned a Graco playard in the past with our older two kiddos and honestly never loved having it set up in my living room because of the aesthetics. The Graco Pack 'n Play CareSuite Bassinet Lux Playard has changed my mind! The soft gray with wood grain accents is visually appealing without compromising on comfort and quality from this OG baby brand. The mattress is plush, no need to add a topper. The set up is a breeze and feels very secure. We are currently using the zip in bassinet as our little one isn’t sitting or pulling up yet. So thankful to Stellar Product Testing Panel for this safe, cozy, and cute space for our little one to lounge and play!

Stylish Convenience That Grows With Baby
I love this Graco Pack ’n Play Care Suite Bassinet Lux Playard. It is sleek with a more modern design. I love how the neutral tones and subtle wood accents blend into my space without screaming “baby gear.” The newborn bassinet and integrated changing station were the most useful stages for our routine—especially during those late-night changes—and the soft fabrics added a touch of luxury. It fits seamlessly into our daily life, serving as a safe sleep, play, and change station in one. The main playard structure is super easy to fold up and move thanks to the wheels and intuitive design. I immediately threw away our old one because this one was so easy to collapse. Normally, I can hear my husband cursing in the next room over trying to pack up our playard when we are done with vacation but those days are over! Hallelujah !!!!Overall, it’s a thoughtfully designed, multifunctional piece that grows with your baby. Thank you to Stellar Product Testing Panel for the opportunity and playard. Pictures is my very tall almost 3 year old who has been obsessed with the playard and still has plenty of room to lay and lounge.

Modern Design and Appeal
I received the Graco Pack ‘n Play CareSuite from the Stellar Product Testing Panel in exchange for my honest review. Right out of the box, I was impressed by the sleek design. The wood accents and neutral color scheme are a breath of fresh air compared to the usual bright baby gear colors. It blends beautifully into my living room decor, and I actually feel good about leaving it out instead of trying to hide it in a corner. The quality of materials is also top-notch. Everything from the frame to the fabrics feels thoughtfully does we and well-constructed. One of my favorite features is the Pack ‘n Play mattress. It is surprisingly soft and cushioned, without that plasticky feel many other play yards tend to have. It feels much more comfortable and cozy for my baby to rest on. The bassinet attachment is a great feature in theory. I loved the convenience of having a raised, easily accessible sleep space for those early newborn days. However, I do wish it were a bit more spacious. My baby is only one month old and has already outgrown the bassinet. Also, the product did not come with written directions that made it a bit difficult to assemble. Luckily, assembly was relatively easy to figure out without them but directions would have helped greatly.
