When it’s a bassinet, a changing station and then a living-room worthy playpen. Every year American Baby Magazine’s readers vote on their favorite baby products. Thousands of moms have their say, and although some of the winners are gold standards like Desitin, pacifiers and bottles, this Graco Pack ‘n Play “Playard” is light years from the old-fashioned travel crib. Start baby out in the full-size bassinet with a quilted bumper pad, and change diapers on a built-in changing table (with a nearby supply organizer). Distract the wee one with a mobile, or turn on the electronics: 2-speed vibration, 5 classical songs or 5 soothing nature sounds, night light and timer. Once baby’s too big for the bassinet, turn it into a rolling, push-button folding playpen (your little one should be less than 35” tall for that use). It retails for about $120 at Walmart, Sears and Target.
