Graco PNP w/ napper & changing station

kxp004 · January 2011

Does anyone have this? What are your thoughts about it? We have read that the changing station is kinda flimsy, but really just want it to last until LO moves to the crib and then only when we travel....actually we want it to last for a long time, lol but that would be sufficient.... Is there anything similar that also has the napper/changing stations w/ vibration that would be better?

I LOVE the napper! I'm so glad we got it. I had a csection and slept on the couch for 2 weeks (easier to get up) and LO slept in the napper. It was perfect. He still naps in it every day. And as far as the changing table we don't use it, yet. But the napper is worth every penny!

I did not ever use teh newborn napper part but have used the changing attachment at my mom's house. Noah is 15 lbs now and when you set him in it, it tilts a little but holds him up. Set up and take down is super simple and fast!

The changer is flimsy- I ended up having to stuff towels under the sides to keep it supported. At 3 weeks it really started to sag on the side without supports and LO would roll/slide that direction. With the towels under it, it stays up fine, but it's kind of annoying.

love the napper - ours vibrates and plays music, etc, which is super! we don't use the changer - we actually took it off - because LO sorta rolls/tilts to the side in it because it's not "flat" so changing became really weird in it. So now we just have one side as the napper and one side as the PNP on the highest level for LO to sleep in sometimes or to just store stuff in throughout the day (boppy, blanket, toy, etc).

We have it and love it. We keep it downstairs and LO naps in it during the day and is so convenient for diaper changes.

I have one and it's great! We use it as a bassinet in our bedroom. We used it with DS1 too. Yes the changing station is lightweight. I think it's made only for newborns and young infants, not toddlers. And of course it has to be lightweight, because it's portable. I wouldn't say it's cheap or flimsy. I think it will work perfectly for what you want. We used it until DS1 was around 4 months old. I also love that when they get older you can take out the bassinet part and use it as a play pen or travel crib.

Adore it and I don't feel the changer is flimsy until maybe DD is bigger. We keep ours on the main floor living room. I slept on the couch for the first two weeks bc the vibrating mapper is the only other place shed sleep besides us

We actually used the changing station a lot as our downstairs changing area until she got a diaper rash and we had to start changing her in the bathroom so we could wash her with a wash cloth. I think it works great. We didn't get the napper. The bassinet worked fine for DD.

We have the newborn napper and changing table and love it! So much so that we bought another one for our house in FL. His nursery is on the second floor and it is a PITA to go up there every diaper change. Same thing with the naps. Oh, and he LOVES the vibration feature.

Side note- I store all of his burp clothes, blankets, extra diapers, extra clothes, etc. under the napper and changer. It is really nice to have everything downstairs where I need it!

The changing station is fine for travel-but since DH is pretty tall and I came home with back pain from labor/delivery, I didn't use it for changes. We use his changing table in his room. We do use it for storage though, so it's useful-it's easier putting blanket/swaddler/pacifier there so we can find them at night when we are getting up with him. We didn't get one with the napper, I thought it looked like an unnecessary expense. DS sleeps great in the bassinet portion.

pepomntpat · January 2011

I love it. DD just outgrew the napper and we've moved to the bassinet part for naps and just for a safe place when I need my hands free. The changing station is a bit flimsy, but it does the job and it is the only thing we use besides the floor right now.

We have this, and use it as a bassinet in our bedroom. I love the napper-- he's always slept like a dream in there. The vibration function is awesome and helps move any residual gas through, I think. I also like the light, because I can leave it on and it provides enough for me to peek at him, but not so much that it bothers him or wakes him up.

The changer is a little flimsy, but we do still use it occasionally. It won't last for much longer, though-- think it's really only meant for tiny babies.

The changer is pretty flimsy, I think, and we didn't use it for long, but it was a life saver during the first few weeks home. We are transitioning out of the napper now, only because she's getting too long for it (she's 23.5"). But I love the whole set up. My biggest complaint is that the batteries died really fast in the light/sound machine part. I just bought our own white noise machine, but I loved it in the beginning.

We love ours. Love love love! We keep it in the living room, so it's conveniently located next to the areas in the house we use most.

The napper is one of the few places she will sleep and it's the perfect place to plop her down safely when I have to warm up a bottle or do something quickly. Sadly, she'll be too long for it before much longer.

I've noticed the same thing as other PPs, that she does tend to roll a bit to the right on the changer, so I just lay her down next to the right wall to begin with. Otherwise, it's plenty sturdy. My main complaint is how low it is. If I'm changing a poopy diaper or if it's just taking a little longer than usual to finish a diaper change, my back really starts to hurt. For outfit changes, or if I know things might take awhile, I take her to the changing table in her room.
