Summary: BUYER BEWARE! 2007-06-27
Comment: I ordered this product through Target.com and this is the review I posted on their site.
This item IS NOT what is listed in the description. There is no canopy or elastic storage pocket. And the statement "Includes entertainment center with MP3 input, sturdy travel bag and roll-down wind/sun/privacy screen on side panel" is entirely false. NONE of these are a feature on this play yard. There is a mobile with a music & light feature, but it's far from an "entertainment center with MP3 input." And the privacy screen is non-existent. I spoke with the customer service department and was told that "this type of thing happens ALL the time" and that he would forward a notice about the incorrect description. I was also issued a credit for the shipping charges, as I will be returning this item locally and purchasing something else.
On the other hand, this is a fairly decent play yard. The colors are very modern and attractive and it seems very sturdy and durable. The play yard itself sets up and breaks down quickly and easily. And the shipping was outstanding! I placed my order over the weekend and it arrived the following Wednesday. I would consider keeping it if I all I needed was the play yard unit and none of the accessories. My reasons for not keeping this item are as follows:
1) The changing table, bassinet and mobile are all connected as one piece. So you can't use one without the other, like when your child outgrows the bassinet. The changing table cannot be used without the bassinet and the mobile cannot be moved to another position.
2) The bassinet/changing table must be completely unassembled to to travel, into about a dozen pieces. Hardly portable or convenient.
3) The changing surface is only rated for a child up to 18 lbs. & 25 inches. My 4 month old will outgrow this in a month or two.
4) The bassinet/changing table is a pain to assemble. I was unable to do it alone. And it doesn't seem very secure to me. The bars do not lock into place when linked together with the corner pieces. A fairly active infant (which I have) could wiggle this thing apart in no time. A BIG safety hazard.
If you are looking for JUST a play yard, this one is great. The rest of the features are just not up to par with my standards when it comes to baby gear.

Comment: BEWARE: Our Baby Trend Pack-N-Play was the model similar to this one (8178BC to be specific) and the rails collapsed on 3 different occasions and the center floor popped up twice (you could see visual damage underneath) and when we paid to send it in for repair the repair dept. sent it back w/ no explanation or letter, and when I got a hold of them, Jeff stated that it was fine. When I questioned why it was returned to us unrepaired he said the damage wasn't there when they inspected it, so of course it was my word against his that it had been damaged when I originally sent it in. What really bothered me is that bottom line I didn't ask them to replace or fix it for free, but I expected them to thoroughly inspect and repair it since I sent I took the time and $ to send it in. I was very alarmed that they didn't take advantage of the opportunity to examine a pack-n-play that had been used by an actual baby and make sure that it was NOT sent back out for use in this unsafe condition. It just proves their lack of concern for their products and the welfare of the children that use them.
