Mine was put together except for a few pieces like the wheels and the tray.. i got a graco travel system. The carseat is put together but the stroller just needs a little assembly but it wasnt hard at all took about 15 mins altogether and the directions are easy to read
Yea they are much easier than a pack n play! Also, when you install the carsear base into your car, any fire station can show you how to properly install it and make sure it's in correctly.
You have to put it together we got a graco one and hubby said it was super easy compared to pack n play
