Graco 6 in 1 Playset
by emmad5689 My eldest daughter was bought this set for Christmases ago when it was on offer in Asda in their usual £15 toys for Christmas deals. The set comprises of a pushchair, a car seat, a high chair, a travel cot, a swing and a changing bag. All the items came packaged in a cardboard box and had to be put together by an adult before ... they could be played with. The decoration of the items is pale pink with brown and a darker pink flowers on which I wouldn't have thought was the best decoration as I would have liked it to be more brightly coloured. The items were pretty easy to put together however the car seat is also the seat for the highchair and for the swing and my daughter was not happy about this as she wanted to put one baby in the swing whilst she fed the other baby in the highchair which obviously wasn't possible. The basis for the highchair, the swing and the travel cot are metal tubes which fit into little plastic connector pieces, they are pretty sturdy being metal pieces but we found that the rods kept coming out of the connectors and it was pretty much just a waste of time and effort especially when every time my daughter put her baby into the travel cot it came apart. The car seat is made of pink plastic and has a liner in the same material of the pink and brown flowers inside it, the car seat has a handle for your child to carry around their baby which my daughter liked to do. The fastenings for the baby to go into the car seat fasten with Velcro and aren't exactly the strongest so more often that not if tipped the baby would fall out. The pushchair seems pretty flimsy just like the rest of the set however over two years later my youngest daughter enjoys whizzing up and down the living room with this so it has actually lasted rreally well. The handles wiggle from side to side and the wheels clatter from side to side as it is pushed but it is still going and besides dolls both my daughters have decided to sit in this on numerous occasions and it has never broken. The swing uses the car seat and you have to attach the car seat to the frame made with the metal rods with Velcro, if you put a doll which is too heavy into the seat then it will topple the car seat part forwards as the weight makes the handle move. The car seat is also used as the highchair but this time it sits on top of the frame and has a tray which holds the dolls in a little better, the high chair was an ok part of the set it was just that in the end the pieces which made the frames were no good and had to be thrown away so then the swing and highchair couldn't be assembled. The changing bag is a little strange in my opinion as it is a piece of fabric in the same decoration as the rest of the set but it fastens along the sides with Velcro. The Velcro pieces are quite narrow so it is hard for a child to line them up, I think the idea is that it is a changing bag which changes into a changing mat but it isn't the best of ideas. My eldest daughter played with the whole set a few times but she got fed up of it all falling apart and since this set has never really played with dolls even when we bought her a decent doll and pram last Christmas she has no interest. The set is cheap and it certainly looks it too, I wouldn't have bought this as a present myself as it was on display in Asda so you could see what the quality was like but this was from a family member who always like to buy something which makes it look like she has spent more than she has. The rods and connectors went in the bin after about a month or so and then that left us with the changing bag, the pushchair and the car seat, the car seat has been sat in my daughters wardrobe for ages now with her having no interest in it at all but the pushchair is still pushed around a lot. I would suggest paying more for a better set or buying just a simple pushchair and car seat set. Read the complete review |

Graco 6 in 1 Playset
by abbadabbado Just before Christmas our daughter's toy pushchair finally broke. She was quite upset as she loves pushing her dolls around the house. When my Mum asked what they could get her for Christmas, I suggested a toy pushchair. What we ended up with was this six piece play set from Graco. Our daughter's face was a picture when she saw the box. ... As it was all flat packed it was left to one of the grownups (i.e. me) to assemble everything together. I was initially worried about the space this set was going to take up. Comprising of a pushchair, high chair, swing, cot, car seat and travel system. I quickly realised with a little relief that despite calling itself a six piece set, the pushchair, travel system and the car seat are only two items which create three different ones. Good marketing on the box by Graco, but a relieved parent here. The high chair, swing and car seat all merge together as well which help with the space saving. You actually end up with three pieces of equipment that you can make into six different pieces just not at the same time. Putting the pieces together was relatively easy. Everything was bundled together in its relevant section and at most the cot required poles to be placed through the material and clicked together. Everything appeared quite sturdy and strong on first glance. The pattern on the each piece of equipment co-ordinates and is nice and bright in girly pink and purple pastels. It's not too garish but definitely girly. My only initial worry with this set was the pushchair. It's quite difficult to set in position, and I would worry that any child who manages to release it from its vice grip would hurt themselves as the pushchair closes. All the other pieces are easy to change around easily though. So you have a pushchair that will turn into a travel system once you place the car seat onto the pushchair. Our daughter manages to do this easily at three and a half years old. The swing and high chair uses the same base (and also the car seat), and she finds it a bit fiddly to place the car seat onto the frame to make a high chair. Making the swing is easier as it's a case of looping Velcro straps through the car seat. The cot is a standalone piece of equipment and doesn't require any adjusting to use it. The age range on the box states it's suitable for 3-7 years, but I would say that once a child gets to around five then they will be too big to push the pushchair comfortably. It does come across quite small in height but suits my daughter perfectly now. The price of this set varies from around £20 to £35. My Mum paid £20 for it in the Argos pre Christmas sale and I would put that price as about right. I wouldn't be happy paying more than £30 for it as I don't believe it's made well enough. Whilst sturdy, you can tell it's from a cheaper variety as the metal poles are quite thin and wouldn't take a massive amount of child torture. Our daughter has played with one piece of the set every day since Christmas and it has certainly opened up her role play with her dolls. It's enabled her imagination to go further when playing, and for that reason, I think this was a good buy. Read the complete review |

Graco 6 in 1 Playset
by emmamarie123 I bought the Graco 6 in 1 dolls playset for my 2 year old for christmas. I didn't really look into it much and didn't read the details i just looked at the picture on the box and thought- a pushchair, travel system, travel cot, swing and high chair and travel seat, for £19.99 wasn't a bad buy at all. The playset came in a ... suprisingly small box, everything came in pieces with easy to follow insructions on how to put each item together, upon looking into it I found out that the highchair also doubles up as a swing, so you can only have one or the other at one time. The pushchair and travel cot are lovely, and fairly good quailty , very study and made up with strong material. The problem I had was with the highchair / swing. The travel seat which is used for both swing and highchair needs to slot on to a metal frame to make the highchair, which is not too bad, but the seat is too small for many of my daughters dolls. The main problem I have found is when you try and make the swing. The chair is attatched to the frame by 2 velcro straps, but as soon as you put a very small doll in the 'swing' it just tips and the doll tips out - much to my daughters fustration. Maybe it is something that I am doing wrong in setting the swing up, but I do find it to be very flimsy and is certainly not possible to use as a swing. Overall the playset is ok, my daughter loves it, but really you are paying £19.99 for a pushchair and travel cot, so would be best trying another dolls set or just buying a pushchair and travel cot on their own.
