Rating : - The wheels make this one easier to move
Of all the portable cribs/playyards my wife and I have used (and we have 10 kids, so we've had a few), this one is by and far our favorite. One simple feature--the two wheels placed on one set of legs--make is so much easier to move this unit, both when packed and when set up for use.

When folded down for travel, unless we expect it to be messy outside (e.g., slush or mud), we leave the bag off the unit. The handle is integrated into the pad, so you don't need the bag to carry it (unlike some of the earliest ones we tried). Without the bag on, the two leg-wheels allowed it to be pushed or pulled through a hotel lobby by one of our older boys who could not otherwise carry it. That was a bonus!

When set up, having the two wheels means that it is easy to tip up one end and pull it away from its original location--ideal for vacuuming or retreiving a toy that may have fallen under or behind the playyard.

**COMMON SENSE ALERT*** Of course, never roll the unit while the child is still inside.

Beyond the wheels, the quality is what we've come to expect from Graco--that's a good thing. My wife and I love the mute color of this one--it's neutral enough for a boy or a girl.

We did use ours in bassinet mode a lot in the early months. It makes it nice not to need to bend so far down as we had to when we had models without that feature.

What would I improve? The only thing I would imrpove at all is one of the accessories: the mobile. It would have been nice if the spring were a little longer, so it would run longer between windings (or, better yet, even a battery-operated motor would have been nice--I like the real chimes rather than the electronic tones that come on the purely digital noise-makers). On a related note, it would have been nice if the winding knob would have been larger, to make it easier to turn.

Those are the only improvements I would have made to this item. It really is a great buy.
