I got this for having a bedside bassinet/mini crib that will eventually be used for travel etc because I didn't want a bassinet that would turn into a expensive laundry hamper. I use the bassinet around the house for naps and he sleeps in the mini crib at night beside the bed. The bassinet is a little small, my baby is currently 8lbs and three and half weeks old and is quickly outgrowing it (he is around 21in long). He still fits in it but definitely will grow out of it before 3months. It is really nice that it comes with the separate bassinet storage/travel bag. It is really nice to be able to pack up when spending the day with family and needing a safe nap space for the baby. It will also be great to store it once the baby has grown out of it.
The changing table is fantastic for night time changes. I have everything I need in the storage on the side and we keep blankets on the changing pad because our baby hates anything cold. It is easily cleaned by wiping it down if you don't put blankets down like we do.
The mini crib feature is my favorite part of this Pack N' Play. It fits in like a structured hammock so you can rock your baby a little and it shifts a little as the baby moves. It is very secure but the little bit of movement is great if your baby likes movement like mine. The padding for both bassinet and mini crib is pretty soft but nicely firm for newborns, I didn't feel like I needed to put an extra mattress in either of them. We keep the changing table on the Pack N' Play and just lay the baby down on the other side. We will transition him to his own crib before he moves around enough to bump himself on the changing table.
I can't speak to the play yard yet as we haven't used it.
It was easy enough to assemble. I did it by myself at 38 weeks pregnant. vAll the individual pieces are easy to put on or take off. The color was great and accurate to what I ordered. I have loved everything I have purchased from Graco (stroller, bouncer/rocker, Pack N' Play). I also love that this is versatile and will be using it for travel and at my work once our baby is out of our bedroom. This was probably too much information but trust me that you will not regret purchasing this, its fantastic and I would purchase again in an instant if needed!
