Over seven years ago, when we welcomed our twins into our family, we were set up with the best of the best (times two) when it came to baby gear. Our family and friends gifted us with two top-of-the-line car seats, two of the best pack n’ plays, two high chairs, and a double stroller. All of these items were made by Graco – the trusted brand.
Three years ago, when Josh was a baby, I decided we needed a new stroller… A single stroller to be pushed along side of our double. I bought a stroller that was on sale, and I thought it would be just fine. It wasn’t a Graco, but it would serve it’s purpose, right? Wrong! I ended up taking it back, after trying to use it once, and I bought a Graco instead.
You may be surprised to know that my pack ‘n plays have served as a regular bed to each of my babies after Julia. We never had room for a second full-size crib, until this house and baby #6, and the pack ‘n play always worked out so well. That thing can fit in the smallest places!
Not too long ago, though, after almost eight years and six kids, I had to say goodbye to my second Graco pack ‘n play. It may have lasted several more beatings years, but my twins decided to wrestle in it and it saw it’s last day. Since it served as Noah’s bed each night, this was a very big deal! My new Twitter friend and the sweet peeps at Graco came to my rescue, after my virtual call for help, and sent Noah a new bed!
And guess what? They sent me a brand new pack ‘n play to give to one of you, too!! You can earn up to three entries to win:

I’ve been secretly coveting the pack n play’s that I have to keep borrowing from friends and family since I don’t own one of my own yet. I would love one!
Hi! I love Graco Pack’n plays! We had one for our older son and we welcomed b/g twins in January of this year. We use his old one in our living room to change them and also for them to play in, take naps in, and as a place to put them for a minute or two, but it would be a wonderful gift to have one in our basement by the computer. We only have an older swing by the computer and can only bring one down at a time while we do things on the computer! I would love to have a place for them both to play while I’m on the computer writing reports or cruising the internet looking at your great website and reading your blogs. My DH and I enjoy our twins and our 4 year old they all are a wonderful blessing. Thank you for giving one away. The person who wins this will be very lucky. Thanks!
Now isn’t that sweet – my sister posted that she would love to win this for me and my one year old – and she even told ya why – I am a mother of three and no way could I ever afford to buy something so nice for myself – thank you for the opportunity to win such a nice prize! kelwright@frontiernet.net
We just welcomed a new baby girl and it would be wonderful to have a pack ‘n play to put her in upstairs. She gets poke poke poked by big sister alot when Mommy has to put her down right now.
I’d love to win this Graco Pack ‘n Play! Whenever we visit my in-laws across town, I have nowhere safe to put my daughter down for a nap and I end up hanging out in the guest bedroom while she takes her nap on the bed, sandwiched between two pillows. I’d love to be able to put her down for her nap in this pack ‘n play, then go catch up with my in-laws and know that she’s safe.
We just gave ours away to family friends who are moving to OK for 3 months (for air traffic control training school), and then will be stationed in MI for 3 years. They will be using it for their daughter who is 18 mons. and will use it in October when their second baby comes along.
That leaves us without one for our son (18 mons.) , plus we are trying to have another baby…and Pack n’ Plays are so convenient!!!

I have a baby girl on the way and would love to win this graco pack and play.
All of our family lives away from us. So we travel a lot in order to visit. This pack and play would be perfect for those times when we travel. I looks simple enough to set up and doesn’t look as though it would take up much room when packing.
It would be great to have a bed as portable as this to take along.
Thank you so much for offering this wonderful giveaway.
I would LOVE to win !!
My sister-in-law currently has 4 kids. She thought she would top it off with one last child! Well she just found out that she is going to now have triplets!!! She definately needs somewhere to keep all the kids! I would love to win this for her!
I have one graco pack and play and I love it we take it everywhere we travel alot we like to camp and take family vacations but we have 2babies and another one is needed so this would be great for that second child! Thanks for the great giveaway!
I want it for my friend. She’s pregnant with her 5th, and this will allow her to save room by combining the changing area and the crib/bassinet.
I have an old hand-me-down playpen that is on it’s last leg…well, all four are still functioning, but barely. So, a new playpen, and especially a jazzy new one, would be great for my 8 month old, who sleeps in hers as her bed too. Nice to know others do too.
The first pack & play I had was the one you had to put the bars together everytime! they have come a long way and I would love to get one for when when we travel with our little one!
I added your button to my blog!
a portable crib would be great to leave at my mom’s when my baby naps/sleeps there as she has a lot of non-baby items out that he can now reach.
I would love to win this for my daughter. She is expecting my first grandson!!!!
What a wonderful giveaway! We could really use this because both my husband and my parents live out of town, as well as a number of our siblings. This would be perfect for when we travel to visit them.
Thank you so much for offering this great giveaway and please enter me.
We love to go camping. This would be so awesome to have so that we can keep junior safe while still enjoying the great outdoors. Thanks for the chance.
Why I would like to win a new Graco Pack ‘n Play: I would give it to my sister. She is due the end of August. A few years ago she became pregnant, we were all so excited! I bought it its first outfit and was able to feel it kick. She hit the 20 week mark and went into labor. Sweet baby boy Carter didn’t survive. My sister was finally ready to try again and this time she has the stitch put in and has made it to almost 28 weeks so far! I pray she continues to do so well so this precious baby girl can grow big and strong. I’d love to be able to give this great gift to my sister for her to use with her little one on the way. Thanks so much for such a great giveaway! I’ll be posting the button on the sidebar of my blog.
Thanks,
Kristy

i have a new grandbaby on the way.
I love the pack and play! What a convenience! I have one from my daughter, who will be 4 next month and I’ll probably bust it out for my son arriving in August. But I’d really like to win this for my best friend, she’s due 3 weeks after I am with her first little baby, a girl, and I really dont have the money to buy her much. It would be so nice to give her something that she’d really use and would help out!

I would love to win the pack and play by graco. I have a new grandbaby to be here soon. And this would make it so much easier on mm and granny. So we wouldn’t have to carry everythign back and forth all the time.
I could really use a new pack n play to replacethe one that will soon be 8 years old.With several babies in the family now it would be wonderful to retire the “older”one.
Pick me!!
Oh, I SO want a pack n play for my little sweetie boy! Thanks for such a fun contest!

with a new baby and no room for a crib I could really use this for my daughter
alyssasmom9807(at)gmail(dot)com
This would be fantastic for baby #3!
My best friend has 3 little girls under the age of three and she’s using the SAME pack and play.
Ack! Mine just cratered this week. I used it more than my CAR! LOL! I plugged you here!
http://www.mommygoggles.com/2008/06/graco-pack-play-giveaway.html
I would give it to my assistant pastor and his wife who are fixing to have their first child
I love Graco— We have Graco everything, but we could really use a new pack and play!
TRICIACUS76@YAHOO.COM
I don’t need a pack n play for myself, I got one second hand before my baby was born. I would like one, however, for my friend. She is adopting a little girl from Ethiopia. She just mentioned to me TODAY (no lie) that she wants to get a pack n play for her. If I win, it will be hers!
I just found out that I am pregnant this week!!!!!!! This is our first. I know there are a ton of things that we are going to need and this looks awesome.
would love to have it to have when dil brings baby over
I would really love to win this to give to dear friend having her first baby…she has very little $ and could really use this. THANKS
We are pregnant woth our first. We registered for a Graco Pack ‘n’ Play, but did not receive one. We did get a bunch of other nice and needed things from our registry at the shower. Our baby is due at the end of this month! Hopefully we can win this one or get one before the baby comes. I have only heard good things about the Graco products.
We’d love to have this at the Grandparent’s house. Graco really is the best play yard brand. Thanks!
My neices daughter whom is 19 is expecting in october and i sure would love to surprise her with this! she knows her auntie loves her and i want to be able to show how much i love and support her.
(:D
my husband and i would very much appreciate a pack and play for our son, who is due next week. he’s our first and we registered for one, but didn’t get one. we don’t have a bassinett and can’t afford either a bassinett or a pack n’ play on our tight budget. we’re moving at the end of next month to a smaller apartment to try to save some money, AND my husband had to have some emergency dental work done today, so between the bill and prescription for the pain, there went what we had saved up
we’ve tried friends and family but everybody either got rid of their old baby stuff or is currently using it. good luck to whoever receives the graco godsend 
nynaeve_aessedai(at)hotmail(dot)com
I’m a single parent expecting in October and it’s extremely hard buying everything by myself… but I’m making it
… I don’t have this yet and would absolutely LOVE to win it for my son on the way!
With as expensive as everything is getting, I can use all the help I can get and winning this Pack and Play would be one less expense to worry about.
such a nice bed
I have a friend that could really use this! She deserves something nice. Thanks for the chance to win!
I would love to win this for my sister, due in January with her first. They have a two story home and she would use this downstairs. Thank you!!
wow great prize, would be great for my 4 month old!
My neice would love this
Graco makes the best baby productd! I would love this because when my I babysit my 2 month old grandson; my daughter has to lug a portable crib to my house. It would be great to have one in my home.
This would make a great gift for a family friend who is due next month. I think this has been one of the greatest inventions for babies in a long time
I have a new grandson and could use it with him
I would love to win this so my grandaughter would have something I could put her in when she comes to visit. She is now 8 months old and at the stage of sitting up and playing with her toys, as well as crawling. The Graco Pack n’ Play would be the perfect product for keeping her safe and visible while she enjoys herself. Its something my son could take back and forth easily from his home to mine and reduce any fears they may have of her getting into something if aren’t watching.
We could use one of these for the new baby. Our old one is dilapitated. It wasn’t Graco though.
We retired out of state, away from all four of our kids before they started having kids (probably a good thing or I’d never have retired!). We now have three new grandbabies – when they drive to visit us (800 miles) they can bring their Pack ‘n’ Play but when they fly or take the train it’s much more difficult. I’d love to have one here (I could loan it out to other grandma’s in the same circumstances as we are).
I would love to win because the one I haveis old a hand me down from my sister in law is about 10 years old. And It would be great for number three!!!
I can only wish to win this! It would be just in time for the arrival of my brand new little girl (due June 27). My wife and I would appreciate it!
OOO Id love to have one for Connor as he needs somewhere to sleep while he is at his aunts when I’m at school as the floor just isnt cutting it anymore.
I blogged you on Prize-A-Tron too!
http://www.prizeatron.com
I need this for when my grandchildren come to visit me
tiramisu392 (at) yahoo.com
My niece is going to have a baby in about 4 months..This would be a wonderful gift to give her
This would be great. No sooner does my niece start kindergarten than I’m gong to have to start babysitting my new god-daughter. This would be perfect to keep at my place for the baby.
gordyneve@yahoo.com
This would make a great gift for my best friend who is expecting her first baby next month!
I’ll be watching my sister’s baby when she goes back to work in July. This would be great for us to have here at the house.
We could really use this at our office. We are fortunate enough to be able to bring our babies occasionally and would love to have a place for them to nap or play that we could put out of the way when it wasn’t needed.
sherri419 at gmail
I could totally use this! We’re having baby #3 in August and my husband saw my pack and play outside and tossed it over our bank to “fill in the gorge” so now we have none! Grrr he made me so mad!! lol so yeah we could use it
I would love to win this because I don’t have one yet and would love to own one for the baby to go outside with me ,fresh air is the best for my little one. I could take it anywhere and it is great looking
I’m due in August and we have not purchased a pack-n-play yet! I think we’ll need this for summer fun and portability!
I would like to win the new Graco Pack ‘n Play. The play pen I have is unsafe and needs to be discarded. Winning this would be soooo nice for our family!
I would love to win a brand new Graco Pack n Play. My youngest out of 5 boys, is 3 months old, and he hasn’t had a chance to have anything really “new”. And if I win, I promise to pass it along to another needy mom, when we are done with it. We are loyal Graco fans here- we’ve gone thru many baby items over the last 14 years.
I need this Graco Pack ‘n Play for my best friend that is having her first child. I owned one with my last child and it was a life saver in so many ways! She would be thrilled to get such a great product!
Wow what luck to find this site and prize. I use to have 2 pack n plays because my son and grandson are 31 days apart. Believe me these came in so handy. Now my youngest is 12 and all baby items gave away. Well my son and daughter in law are expecting their first child, its a boy.
I live 1200 miles away and sure miss being there for my son. He just called sunday and said that they would really love to get a pack n play for their son as he remembers how much I used the 2 I had and they plan on visiting me and know I no longer have baby items. So if I won this for my son he would be so happy and I feel bad as I’m unemployed and on a tight budget so can’t just buy him what they need. Also I feel dads sometimes get left out when it comes to baby stuff, but I’m so proud of my son as he has been to every doctor visit and helps out so much and is so proud to be having a child. I hope I win to show how much I love and how proud I’am. Thank you for that chance.
I really need this graco pack and play. We are constantly taking the kids over to baby sitters, and this would make it a lot easier.
We would love to have a Graco pack & play for when the grandkids visit.they will have a nice place to sleep of their own.:)
Would love to have a Graco pack n’ play for my soon to be adopted little girl. I had one for my other children and loved it, but it has been passed on to other family members. Thank you for the chance to win!!
I need a Graco Pack & Play for our littlest who will be sharing a room with her big sister. I can’t afford a crib and this is the best temporary solution.
I need a Graco Pack n’ Play to really use outside. My older kids like to play outside all day so I need somewhere to put my little one down when the bigger kids need me to swing them, to referree fights, etc.
A Pack and Play is definitely something that will come in handy with a baby due in September! Kelsie never used a Pack and Play but man, would one come in handy for nights at Grandma’s.
Thanks for an awesome giveaway!
I also added the button to my blog!
Graco, what a gift for the niece in Ohio I rarely see. Would love to give this to her mom on July 4 when I travel there. Also did place your button on the sidebar at http://www.powersweepstaking.com/answersblog/
I keep nieces and nephews all of the time! We always have to drag their stuff in and out and if we forget theirs, then it is where are they going to sleep?? If I had a pack ‘n play at my house, things would be so much easier! I just haven’t been able to afford one yet. I love keeping them, but I just don’t have all of the baby “stuff”.
My granddaughter is coming to visit and this would so nice to have at the house so my son and daughter-in-law don’t have to bring theirs all of the time. Thanks for offering it!
We are planning on expanding our little family when my husband gets back from Iraq so this would definitely come in handy. Thanks!
I would like a new pack and play so I would have one for each level in my house. I already have one from my first baby, which is getting pretty worn, so if I won this fancy new one, I would use the new one on the main level, and then put the older pack and play in the basement for the baby. This way when I go down with my two other kids and the baby falls asleep I won’t have to run up and down the steps. Also would be nice to use as a playpen down there as she gets older.
Hi, I would love to win a new pack n play. This would come in so handy when I am babysitting. Or when I get those unexpected guests with young kids who really should be in a crib to sleep. These are so convient I can’t believe I made it through my own kids without one!
I really could use a new pack and play right now! I have 2 boys under 2 and I have one pack and play from my first son, but I am not sure what I am going to do in the near future when my newborn outgrows his bassinet. We are staying with my in-laws temporarily because of a job relocation, and we are without the use of cribs at the moment! My 20 month old is in his Graco pack and play, but I soon will need new sleeping arrangements for my infant. Please help!
I have 1 pack and play and would love another for upstairs. My daughter is very mobile crawling now and it is nice to have the contained area for her to play in.
I have twin girls and this is why I need this…We are going on our first family vacation to Jackson Hole, Wyoming. I’ve been looking at prices, but as you know buying things for twins gets expensive. Our girls are 7 1/2 months old and we have not had them sleep anywhere but here at home. I’m worried about how they will do sleeping somewhere else. But I hear Graco makes good ones and well, we need to do something this summer! This one is adorable!
my email is germandarius@gmail.com, I’ll keep my fingers crossed!
I would love to give this to a friend who needs one!
My family is always on the go and as much as I’d love to lay my little one down in her crib every afternoon it just isn’t always possible. We currently have an older hand-me-down pack and play that just isn’t convenient to tote around. Being that the showers are over for the new little angel, I don’t think that we’ll be getting one as a gift so we’d be happy to win one.
I would so love to have a Graco Pack and Play. I am expecting a little baby in November and we are just starting to get the nursery ready and realized that there are so many things we need. Being able to win this would take a huge burden off all the upcoming bills
Thanks for the giveaway and the entry!
I have also sent you an email as well as CC’s my five friends! Best wishes, have a great weekend!
Diderrich.Mary@mayo.edu
I have a two month old daughter and we really wanted to get a pack and play for her, but haven’t been able to. In addition, we have a couple trips coming up where I’d love to have this on hand to let her sleep in. So this would be a great item for us.
I would love to win a Graco pack ‘n play because we have a new little niece who will be coming to visit, and we don’t have anywhere for her to sleep! Plus, I’ve always loved Graco items, Graco is definitely a trusted name in baby equipment. Thanks so much for the great chance to win!

I would love to get this for my new baby nephew. His parents don’t have much money and haven’t yet been able to buy a crib, so this would be great for them! Thanks for the giveaway!
please enter me thank you
With a shiny new Graco pack ‘n play I could stop wrestling trying to set up mine!!
thanks for the fun giveaway – what fun!
ann
Boy I could really use this. We are expecting our third child in December and after having our first ever yard sale last year we have very little left for the new baby. We also have a very small home and this would be wonderful to use as the baby bed for a while. Thanks for the consideration and for the great giveaway!!
this would be awesome for a child to nap wherever you may be
This would be so handy, I’m expecting twins
I have grown children so the baby stuff got sold off long ago.
I am now caring for my god daughter and need a place to keep her safe, secure and entertained.
I need one of these
