Need to close pack n play - Graco Pack 'n Play

This is not a product available in the UK so we are unable to assist. Please contact your retailer for assistance.

I don't know if this one works like my Century Fold-n-Go or not. If it does be sure that you have placed the pack n play upside down then try to push on release buttons that are in the middle of each of the sides.
I think its a safety feature that keeps kids from accidentally releasing it when they are inside. Mine will only close if it is upside down.
Hope that helps :)

Hi,

Check the below instructions. It might not be the same same as what the manufacturer envisioned but it worked for many people.

-- With the pad removed from the inside of the Pack n Play, pull up on the red handle so as to loosen the legs;

-- Next, you will find there is a big button in the middle of each of the long sides of the Pack n Play. Start with either long side. You will have to press very hard on either side of that button; I found it helpful to use both hands, one pressing on the outside of the playpen, the other hand pressing on the inside of the playpen. Pressing these together will loosen the long support arm at the open top of the Pack n Play.

-- Do the same for the opposite long side.

-- You will also do the same, one button, one side at a time, for each of the two short sides of the Pack n Play.

-- Now pull up on the red handle in the middle, and guide the four corners so they meet and close.

-- Cover.

I found the buttons may not have fully allowed the support arms to collapse, thus blocking the Pack n Play from folding down completely. If so, try pressing the button again (both the outside and the inside at the same time).


Let me know,if needed further assistance.

Hope i helped you.

You should download the k-lite codec pack which contains every video & audio codec you will ever need. www.codecguide.com

Download the full codec pack, don't bother with the Mega pack as it contains stuff you will never need.

Note that if you are running vista 64 bit then you will need to download the 64 bit codec pack in addition to the k-lite full codec pack. Both are available on the link I have provided. Don't forget to rate me as I know this will solve your problems,

turn and pull up the center. then squeeze pulling up the locks and unlock from each side of each lock. unblock(with help like I had it:D) and pull up the center and the rest.

Pls let me know if I helped

You need to install the codecs,
visit www.free-codecs.com
and dowload from there, use the codec packs (xp codec pack or vista codec pack) I used both on my 2 laptops and they work fine.

My wife and I have the same model for visits by our granddaughter. She was having the same trouble as were you and, like you, we did not have instructions.

I'm happy to share with you what I found to close the model up for storage. It may not be the same as what the manufacturer envisioned but it worked for us.

By the way, I've found it to be an exercise in frustration in trying to obtain an instruction manual from the manufacturer. I'm very disapopinted with this purchase and in particular this company.

Hope this helps!

Pack and Plays are VERY hard to get together if you don't do the steps in order.

1) Ensure the base is not pushed all the way down or flat. If it is down/flat, the sides will not lock

2) Your sides should snap up with a moderate amount of force. Double check that both arms of the sides are all locked in the up position.

3) Now you can flatten the base, insert the mattress pad, and you are good to use the pack and play!

Enjoy and happy napping!
