We got the unit and followed the instructions to assemble it. We finally got some D batteries and inserted 1 into the vibration unit, but the seat does not vibrate! We're not sure if the vibration unit, the switch, or the cable is faulty, but this is really disappointing considering this is a new unit from Graco and this is one of the main reasons we bought this model!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thank you for your feedback. We’re so sorry to hear of the trouble your having with the vibration unit of your Playard and we’re happy to see how we can help! You will be contacted shortly by a member of our Consumer Care Team.
I just had my second child in October. This playard is perfect size to keep in the living room and the baskets on the side are very convenient. I am giving it only 4 stars though because the vibration in the infant seat went out after 2 months. I tried replacing the battery (D) but there is a shortage in one cords that connects to the vibrating box.
We love the pack n play for our grandson. Easy to put up and take down. We've had to do that a number of times and it's no effort at all. However, the only thing I would improve on is the mattress. Seems a bit hard for a little one. I've purchased a pad and sheets to put on top of it, but it's still a bit hard.
Unfortunately the chemical/plastic smell is overwhelming and does not seem to go away - I have had it out of the box and put together for at least 3 weeks and it still smells horrible.
