Graco Pack N Play Portable Playard/Twins Bassinet

1. Posted: Jun 9 2008

   We received this for our twin girls and loved it! They slept together in one side for the first few months (we kept blankets, diapers, etc on the other side); then they each had a side but could still hear/sense each other which they seemed to like. It was a bit challenging the first few times to change the sheet with the bassinets but it did get better with practice. Liked that there were 2 bassinets so the girls could continue to be close togther. Would definitely recommend to someone expecting twins. The only time we travelled the girls were older so we were just using the bottom (and we had to use 2).

   As the mother of twins, I found this product to be quite sturdy and reliable. Cleaning up major spitups was sometimes challenging, but, overall not too bad. Having a place where both of my (preemie) babies could be placed safely was very handy. Setup was easy and we're still using the main section as a playard. The fact that one side has wheels made it even easier to use!

   This thing should be labeled "Setup and Stay"! It is insanely complex to setup and clumsy to carry. Once setup, it seems only marginally stable. We're expecting twins, so we decided to get this double-bassinet product. However, after trying to set it up and pack it up a few times, we've decided it would be much more practical to use two smaller single bassinet playpens. I was able to setup the single bassinet (Graco Bermuda) within about two minutes. When traveling with it, we will probably opt not to carry all of the accessories -- just the playpen and bassinet. The twin-bassinet Graco Scout takes a good 10 minutes to setup, with clanking parts. It does not offer an easily-portable option, either. You must carry along all of the overly complex and cumbersome parts. Setting this thing up is like building a piece of furniture from Ikea -- HORRIBLE instructions that make no sense and skip steps. If you do get this thing, good luck inserting the wooden divider into the bassinet every time you take it apart! (You'll see what I mean!) The assembly seems like something you should only have to do once and never deal with again -- but that's not the case! You have to go through this nightmare of a setup EVERY time you 'pack'! Instead of this complex twin-bassinet, I would like to see a divider insert for single bassinets -- something to put down the middle to divide it into two. Most twins tend to be a bit smaller initially anyway. The playpen design is great -- a few clicks and the playpen is setup. The bassinets, however, do not have the same great design. They have confusing parts and a lot of work. Honestly, it doesn't look that comfortable or sturdy after it's setup. Don't get this monster! Get two smaller, portable bassinets instead. x_hobbes
