Portable Crib for Overnights At Grandma's

By Miriam G Price


I've lost count on how many times I've given a portable crib as a baby shower gift. In fact, all the portable cribs I've ever given out were Graco Pack 'N Play Playards. It's really easy to see why this is the bestselling crib of its type out in the market today. And it all starts with its sturdy and comfortable construction.

Several months ago, it had been my turn a Graco Pack 'N Play Playard from my buddies at my baby shower. Much like most moms who depend on baby cribs in our own home, I desired one for the road. We frequently visit my mother's house because there are a couple of nights in the month when I'm not able to spend time with my little angel. Therefore the baby and her portable yet handy crib take a visit to Grandma's house. Some cribs are marketed to be portable, but they are often not. This particular one features its own carrying case. Just fold, zip and it is all set to go within the boot of the car!

Besides portability, I was concerned with baby's safety. Safety features were a top priority, and I was glad when the feedback from my friends confirmed that the Graco Pack 'N Play Playard meets and exceeds safety standards set for baby cribs which are portable. This is because the size of the mesh is so small that there's no chance that buttons in the baby's clothing can get stuck. And also, the mesh is secure on top where the rails are and at the bottom. This is so that the baby won't fall out.

Another factor I had to consider was ease of use. My mother is 65 years old, and she wanted one that she could set up easily. This portable baby crib has Graco's proprietary push button folding system that's easy to figure out and easy to use. My mother boasts that she can set this up in under a minute. This is an extremely handy feature when concerning all sorts of baby cribs.

Conclusion

I just read some reviews that say have concerns about how low this portable crib sits on the ground. I really love the fact that it sits low actually, because for me personally, this means added stability. I possibly could not do without my Graco Pack 'N Play Playard. Personally, I feel satisfied after seeing my baby sleeping easily within the bassinet that comes with it, and I realize that my mother really didn't have a difficult time configuring it. And that is the thing that works for me.
