It was easy to assemble (took me 10 minutes when I was 38 w pregnant). It's lightweight and can be easily moved around. The vibration feature seems unnatural, I'm not sure it's safe for a newborn (as I use it as a temporary crib), the light is very dim (not sufficient to change the baby diaper in the night!). The baby seems to enjoy the music feature. The toy is completely ignored by the baby. It's a good playard (I trust Graco products), but a simpler model would have been better.
