Pack n' Plays - What's the difference in brands?

I've asked this a few months ago but didn't get any responses so I need to try again, so I'm sorry for the repeat post!

If you have a Graco, Baby Trend, Cosco, etc. brand Pack n Play, how are they different? Do they fold differently, not made as good, etc.?

Thanks!

IMO, nothing but the price...They all do the basic thing. Most of them have the bassinet feature and changing table. They can all be used as a play yard....I have never heard of any complaints about folding and unfolding them....

i have a graco one and i borrowed my sisters eveflo one when we visited her and i actually liked the evenflo one better. the changing table on the evenflo was deeper and the bassinet part was higher than the graco one i have.

Thanks!

I'm used to Graco, but didn't really like the patterns so I was wondering if the other brands were the same. I don't want to spend a lot but the Graco one's that are "cheaper" aren't really for a girl. Not that it really matters, but....

I'll look at other brands then too. I don't need to use the changing station since my babies are too big for it to begin with, but I do need the bassinet part. Thanks again!

I have a Chicco and it's very sturdy with tall sides and a plush mat for the bottom. It's really a nice pack n play. I also have a Graco here for a little boy I watch during the week (his parents provided the pack n play) but it's garbage compared to the Chicco. The sides are so low, it's smaller, and the mat on bottom is so flimsy and thin. I am not crazy about it. I think the Chicco is worth the extra few bucks.
