Graco Pack 'n Play Portable Playard is the low-cost choice for families who drive rather than fly. At $64.99 on the Graco store it costs less than half of any other crib here. Graco says folding feet and wheels give it a fold 20% more compact than the average playard, and the signature push-button fold collapses it into the included carrying bag. Set up, it measures 28.25 in wide, 39.5 in deep and 29 in high, with mesh on all sides and a mesh pouch for wipes and toys. It is rated for children up to 35 in tall who cannot climb out. The trade-off is weight: at 18.96 lb it is almost 6 lb heavier than the BabyBjörn and Chicco Alfa Lite, which matters at an airport but less so in a car trunk. This version has no bassinet; Graco sells other Pack 'n Play models with one. We compared documented features and published prices.
