Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I love this playard. My son is almost a month old and has been sleeping in it since we brought him home from the hospital. He has slept in both the napper and the bassinet part and seems comfortable in both. The changing table has come in handy in the middle of the night when we've wanted to change his diaper without going very far. As much as I like this playard, there are two big flaws worth mentioning: (1) You cannot remove the napper/changing table without taking apart the whole pack n play which is not convenient if you want your child to sleep in the bassinet part but also want access to the changing table. (2) The fabric on the napper is spot clean only, which is not practical if you have a newborn who spits up and occasionally pees past the diaper (we still haven't figured out how he does this, but it seems to happen about once a day). To remedy this issue, I bought several flannel bassinet pads on Etsy from the "BabyWolfgang" shop. The fabric is soft so my son sleeps comfortably on them and when they get dirty, I stick them in the washing machine/dryer. They hold up well after many washings and are a good solution to issue #2. (Added bonus: I use them to protect my stroller bassinet because they are easier to wash than taking off the bassinet fabric to wash it and then reattaching it.) I also recommend using a waterproof pad under the pack n play sheet to protect the mattress. I got the American Baby Company Waterproof Porta-Crib Sheeting Pad and it fits perfectly. If you want a super-soft matching sheet, I recommend the American Baby Company Heavenly Soft Chenille Porta-Crib Sheet in Celery. I also like the American Baby Company Organic Interlock Pack N Play Sheet. (I bought all three of these products on Amazon.) Some customer reviews mention purchasing an additional mattress to put over the pack n play mattress. I don't think this is necessary and it is possibly unsafe. The mattress that comes with the pack n play is all the baby needs and is ideal in terms of firmness/thickness. Overall this is a very good product.
