Review on Graco Pack 'n Play Portable Seat & Changer Playard, Affinia: Ultimate Convenience and Versatility by Casey Frazier

I'm embarrassed to give it only 3 stars but the features I chose it for were disappointing. The basic play area is standard and lives up to expectations, but it was the changing table that drew me to this particular one. I chose this one because I thought it would be extremely effective to have a piece of furniture in our room that could serve multiple functions. Cons: - Difficult to assemble diaper/changing table. Although initial assembly is irrelevant, I don't know how to take it apart to wash it! :(- Throwing the diaper on the changing table was tricky, I couldn't do it quickly with one hand, and learning things with a crying newborn is not ideal. - Wet wipe holder is flimsy and the box started falling out, when almost empty Pros: - Pack and Play meets expectations - Raised mattress option is durable and comfortable If I understand diaper/changing device issues [I wanted this because it can be used and played separately from the pack but it looks like it looks like it won't fit the baby for too long for situations that I found useful] I would just order the basic pack and play with the double bottom option (after 2 weeks of use I've already removed the nappy/changing table [which can be done btw not easy to fold up for storage. ]) and used it the way I use it now - with a raised bed and small changing pads when we change a diaper. di e may not be used outside the field of play.
