Can the napper come out and be used separately on a different surface or can it only be used in the pack n play?

No it cannot ,but my baby sleeps very well in it. It has the vibration setting on it which she loves. I highly recommend this pack'n play.

If you use a pen you can pop the newborn napper out of the pack n play.It works with the pressure of their weight pushing it down, but I've taken it out and used it elsewhere.

I just recvd this item as a gift a love it. I would say that the napper cannot be used on different surfaces. It does not have any kind of "stand" per se (or legs) to hold it up. Also, you cannot carry an infant in it. The handle in the picture is merely for decoration and snaps off and on very easily. I still like the product tho bc, from previous experience with my other two girls, some newborns sleep better propped up a bit. The napper is the perfect angle for this. It is roomy enough for her to use for several months if not longer. Hope this helps!

It snaps onto the sides of the Pack 'n Play, so I doubt it can be used separately. It does not have required supports to be used standalone.

The way the napper is set up, you can only use it on the pack n play. There are two metal rods that support that are inserted around the napper. Other wise it just a piece of fabric and it will lie flat on another surface. On another note, follow the instruction very carefully. I was pregnant and didn't play close attention and ended up installing the pieces upside down. It just make it harder to remove once my baby grew out of it (the release button is so hard to press!). Also, the changing area is also really confusing to put together by looking at the instructions. Just don't give up! It's a great item. I love it so much because of the convenience.

The way it's constructed, I don't think the napper will work on another surface. It actually hangs from two rods supported by the frame of the bed.

Yes. Both napper and changing station are removable. It is assumed that you will use the napper until the baby is old enough to start rolling over - then you take both napper and changing station off and use the bassinet.

When u take everything off of it it turns into a normal pack n play. I don't know if the dimensions are the same for various pack n plays. I would assume so.

I'm pretty sure you can't. There are slightly other configurations, for instance with a twin bed under. It's a great bed, very durable, my kids love it. The full sized bed is on casters and can stand alone, so you don't have to use it if you don't want it.

No. Typical pack and plays have netting mesh. This rocker requires slats of a crib to make the attachment. Having said that, if you're handy, it's probably possible to do some custom modifications to attach it to one of the corner metal rods of a pack and play. However, it's not possible out of the box. Also, be real sure any modifications are safe for your child.

Yes, you could do that but it will take up a LOT of space. If you have a large pack and a short pad it may work somewhat but you will have to repack every time you use it. I tries it with my long pad and it took up too much space.

I used the Graco Pack and Play next to my bed. I used it for both of my kids until they turned 6-8 months and moved to a crib. After that we used it when we traveled until my kids were two. It was probably the most used baby item I purchased! I loved that I could easily move it from room to room depending where I needed baby to sleep! I actually wanted to arms reach but I am sooo glad I got a pack n play!

From what I can tell, it looks like unfortunately the upper level is connected to the diaper and bassinet holder. The only options I can see to hold it in the higher level and use for a napper would be to cut away the sections on the top, or to try and find an upper level at a thrift or second hand store.

We have this crib and the pack and play. This crib is easier to fold because you just lift the base and the two (longest) sides come together. I don't think it's easier to put away though because it is much larger and heavier than a pack and play. It's definitely not easier to take on trips, which is why we ended buying a pack and play. Just a note, you can buy a 2" mattress that fits into both this crib and/or a pack and play.

No. It will not fit on a pack and play. It uses a clamp type device that screws in tight to hold it in place. The pack n play does not have holes in it so the large screw wont be able to fit. You can poke a hole in the mesh of your pack n play if you really wanted to though.

No you can not. It is really not a comfortable play yard I had to add tons of blankets for my little one to be comfortable. It's not even a mattress it's very hard folding thing that you unfold for each way you use it. I can't even close mine. My advice look for a different one. Hope this helps

I haven't tried it, but the shape seems to be more oval and it stretches to fit. It is by no means 'fitted' to the pack and play shape and I even stretch it over my double stroller as a net too and which is longer and narrower so I see no reason it shouldn't work the other way.

I agree with Anne. We purchased ours hoping to use it on a pack and play and it doesn't work for that at all.

I've known a lot of people who have used Pack N Plays as cribs. They are meant to be a place for baby to sleep. Keep in mind though, that there are no government regulations for play yards (or bassinets), so they may not follow the same safety guidelines as cribs.

Yes, I use it in my pack n play at the cottage. That makes it firmer and more like a crib.

Yes you can use them all together. We put this on top of the mattress protector and under the fitted sheet. This allows for optimal air circulation to prevent baby from sweating while still letting us use a waterproof protector to protect the mattress.

You can, but I didn't as well. I actually made a cover for mine. I like having the pad go all the way to the corner. It's not as horrible as some of the reviewers make it out to be. Babies usually aren't on there for more than 10 minutes, it's not like it has to be super comfy so they can nap up there...
