Just want to point out for anybody having trouble, make sure you take the baby out of it first or it won’t fit into the bag. Also regarding the accessories you can shove them into the top of the case once it’s standing up. The cross bar with the toys hanging from it disassembles into three smaller pieces and you can just it on in there. Best of luck.
So my son brings this contraption over when I started babysitting my grandson. The time comes when Grandma here tries to pop this thing together, they didn't have these when I had babies. 30 minutes into this project and I am sweating, I've banged the heck out of my knees and I am envisioning this thing flying out the front door and landing the the yard. My Grandkids probably learned some new words that day...not good ones either. Then I remember RU-vid. Oh, Thank God for RU-vid and this video.
New grandma here. Same. My son put this together a year ago, now it’s time to put it away (by myself) and OH BOY. Also put up baby gates today. Now I need a drink and some ibuprofen!
For anybody wondering .... apparently, part of the disassembly steps is to throw out the infant bassinet. That’s what I assume since that part was completely ignored. Smh
Thank youuuuu so much for your video instructions. As a new dad, I was losing the few hairs I have left trying to follow the confusing instructions from the manual. I'm so glad I watched your video, it was clear as water. On behalf of my hair and I, gracias.
Omg this helped so much ! Literally was getting so upset I couldn’t set it up and my husband said you’re the sweetest person for posting this tutorial!!!
This video was great! My father in law and myself were attempting to set this up and lock the sides into place and it wouldn't lock. I watched this video and realized that the base was not supposed to be extended and locked into place first. Problem solved. Thanks again for making this tutorial!
For those wondering what to do with the bassinet for storage, there are instructions on the bassinet warning tag: To fold playard with bassinet ATTACHED, reach through opening in bassinet (this is a Velcro slit in warning label in bottom of bassinet) and pull up on strap until floor is at least half way up, then release top rails (and continue to follow normal disassembly instructions). Gramma = 1, Playard = 0
The engineers at Graco must not understand what UX design (user experience design) means? This is far more complex and does not work as shown all of the time.
I struggled opening this thing for 5 minutes. Then came to you tube. This video had me set it up in 10 seconds! So easy, yet so complicated. Lol. Thanks!!
Great work showing the instructions of the main components. Accessories were not shown here but they were easy to assemble following the instructions from the solutions manual. Thank you!
I could NOT take it down this video helped so much thank you thank you! All I had to do was pull middle I was praying like “buttons PLEASE CLOSE” but you helped me
I fit the inner bassinet net and rods in with the play yard. Doesn’t look like the changing table or other thing would fit in the bag with disassembly, but play yard and bassinet do.
Absolutely worst product.... I straightened out the bottom first as the instructions did not say... I ripped the bottom off a leg by accident and broke a side trying to lock the top. I called my family and said no more graco.
This thing does not work. It does not snapping to place. It’s the worst playpen I’ve ever seen, and it almost killed my child because it collapsed on her.
Interesting how it did NOT show how to take it down and pack it away with the bassinet still attached...can be done, but what a bugger to get it all tucked in together and still fit into mattress/box.
We have all sinned and fallen short of Gods glory sin is terrible because of sin we are separated from God but gladly here is the good news Jesus Christ came and walked this earth for everyone taught us the perfect way to live and how we should live and he died for our sins because we need a sacrifice to pay the price for our sins since our sins deserve hell if we live in sin but also more good news Jesus rose from the dead three days later we have to leave the sin behind and put it away and live new with Jesus this world is like a vapor it passes away but your eternity is forever and it is up to you what you want to do with it Jesus Christ is coming soon……
3:00 magically make the bassinet disappear! Came here to find out where to store the bassinet, but apparently it's just like parenting: Figure it out yourself. (Actually good news about the bassinet, no instructions means you can't do it wrong since there's no right way.)
Helpful video. I wish Greco had added the instructions on how to disassemble for storage the mobile arch that came with the unit, the reason why I came to the site.
Thank you, mostly helpful! The part I’m struggling with is condensing it @3:10. What buttons? You say to push up slightly, but you’re pushing down in appearance. I’ll honestly probably have this thing up forever since I can’t get past it lol.
New dad here… Was fighting with this thing for a hour because the sides wouldn’t lock 🤬 but i see I jus had to leave the red thing up 😅 very helpful because I thought this thing was defective 😅 thank you 🙏🏿
Yes, the (literally hidden) secret is that when you lock/unlock the sides, there are hinges on BOTH SIDES of each button, and BOTH SIDES have to engage/disengage in order to set it up or take it down successfully. Having 4 or more hands is helpful (Stitch! come over here a second....)
I was going through video after video. Your the only one that says lift up button and release or something like that. You helped a lot. Thank you for the hours on search to close my pack and play
Thank you for the vid😀. Our granddaughter outgrew the pack and play. We were using it for her bed at night. I was getting ready to put the crib up and I needed the pack and play out of the way. My wife always puts it up and takes it down so “papa” was clueless lol.
Hi until what s age did your little one sleep in the playpen. I'm looking for info to know if I should but a convertible crib in addition to having a playpen
She didn’t outgrow it until about 22 months. She could still sleep in it for her overnight stay but her head and feet were almost touching the ends. We had our baby crib our four year old grandson used as a baby so we decided to go ahead and set it up. The baby just turned two last week. She outgrew her high chair too lol refused to sit in it. She wanted to be at the big people table.
