Ratings etc: 4 out of 5 stars on Target with three reviews. 4 out of five stars with five reviews on Amazon. 4 out of 5 stars on Babies R Us. Sturdy and Very nice...not for travel. I used this for a bassinet and loved it. The vibrating was great to soothe my baby back to sleep if he needed just a little encouragement. The little light was nice for checking on him without disturbing him. It is very well made, the padding is great. It is a little heavy as the other reviewer pointed out. My husband thinks it will be fine for travel. I agree as long as he is the one lifting it. Relatively easy to set up - love the changing table/bassinet/playard idea. Has nice storage options. Though the sleeping pad is washable - it's not in my machine - and a pain to hand wash. There are no sheets for this. The changing table is vinyl on the bottom and cloth on the sides - not so great if your little boy 'woopsies' while changing, or with an explosive diaper. Not sure I'd purchase again. THA PROS:Easy to assemble!!! Easy to clean, nice colors, the toy bar on topis cute, my son loves the elephant, plus I attached other toys and rings for more fun. The changing area is great, very sturdy and the bassinet area is vey sturdy too, my five month/ 14lbs son hasn't even came close to making it sag.THE CONS: TOO WIDE! doesn't fit through doorways, although it gives my baby more room to move around, moving it from on room to another or outside is a pain. Folding it up is fairly complicated too.Still a great play yard and still I wouldn't have bought any other one if I had a second chance. I am a first time parent and loved the Chicco look. The playard is nice with one major problem. I love the padded mattress with its support however if the baby has an accident or spits up on it you have to wash it - NOT EASY TO DO. I live in an apartment with small washers - does not fit. Dries well in the drier though. I end up washing it in the shower which is a pain. I bought waterproof pads and Gracco sheets and cut holes in the sheets to get the mobile through. Kind of a pain but it works. This is well built product that the company needs to tweek a bit.

Ratings: 4 out of five stars with one rating on amazon. 3 out of five stars based on 13 ratings on BRU. Not good reviews on BRU mostly about the changer being 21 inches long much to short for anything but temporary use, bulkier than a Graco and smaller bed space.

Ratings: 3 out of five stars based on 4 reviews on Kmart.com. 5 out of 5 stars based on 4 reviews on Overstock. changing table is not comfortable for baby and is lopsided. The storage unit, falls out and sags with barely anything in it. The bassinet sags in the middle and seems uncomfortable... The mobile does not play music and swings out of view by itself.. Not worth it.. Get something you really like.. I appreiate the gift bc it serves it purpose, but the next baby is getting something better!" Set Up-I had a very difficulting time getting the sides to lock into place during set up. If you set it up to stay it okay. I won't take it down because of the hard time setting it up. It is now "stored" in the dining room. It won't make the turn at the end of the hall into a bedroom with the casters on. The casters are nice to have to keep the baby close.Bassinet-The basset portion has been very useful and can be used for changing if needed. The bassinet does dip in the middle and can only be used for the first few months but is so handy.Storage Center-I can keep most everyting at hand with the storage center. Nice addition. No problems yet.Changing Center-It works fine for the tiny one but I wouldn't use it for "the tank".Mobile-Very cute. It would be helpful to have a battery operated one as the characters don't "swing" for very long. They are velcro detachable, so you could use them on other baby gear." It folds up well, its easy to move. my NB enjoys it so far. the only thing for me is I would like it to be a little higher because of my cesarian and bad back its hard for me to bend so far down while Im changing diapers but overall its a good buy with a good amount of holding space for dipers, wipes, alcohol, cottonballs, etc.
