Portable Playard Play Pen with Carrying Case for Infants and Babies, Pink

We have 3 wonderful children aged 6, 3 and 4 months, and are expecting our fourth. Our third and fourth child will be Irish twins, less than 10 months apart. I needed a place to keep the 4 month old safe while I make dinner or run the sweeper, and this seemed a good solution. Prior to buying this, I had been eyeing the Joovy Room 2, the 4moms breeze (plus?) and a square, large contender by Graco. I needed something larger than the standard pack and play, because with three kids and a fourth on the way, the little ones need a safe place of their own, partially to keep them in, but also to keep the bigger kids out.PROS:- The price is very attractive.- Quality does not feel cheaply made, the seams are properly stitched.- My husband was able to put it up in just a second, indeed, one-handedly. I was not, but after he showed me, I was able to set it up in seconds.- It's machine washable! Our 4 month old spat up on it within days of first setup, and I put it in our (front loader, high efficiency) washing machine on the delicate cycle. I put it upside-down on the frame to dry overnight. No blemishes, and clean result.- Large playard- Lightweight. This is so lightweight, I strongly consider taking this to our Thanksgiving and Christmas family gatherings, so that I have a spot to (safely) put baby down.- It has a door! I don't use the door, but our two bigger kids love to be able to join the baby in "baby jail". They know the rules: be careful, no jumping, and only when I am in the room. Baby is easily entertained, and SAFE.CONS:- The bottom is not padded. This is a blessing as well as a curse. When we had to use the playard on our hardwood floor, it was bothersome to have to place blankets in the playard. However, a padded bottom would have made it much heavier, and would not have made it so easy to move. I am going to remove 1 star just for the lack of padding. It does not make it as easy to use on hardwood flooring with little infants.- The bottom is not water-resistant. I am only mentioning this pro forma, since it really is not a big deal. We had the playard out in the backyard, and I put either a water resistant picnic blanket or just a tarp underneath. This worked great.Two days after we got the playard, we had our living room (the only carpeted room in the house) cleaned professionally, and it left us without usage of our family room! During the 2 days of carpet drying and the scotchguard curing, we moved the dining table over to the side and hung out in the dining room during the rainy summer days. However, our hardwood floors led me to layering two thick blankets in the playard to offer our son some padding. I have seen reviews of people putting foam tiles in the playard, which could work really well instead of blankets, though it would make the whole thing less portable. My dad suggested having a foam mattress topper *UNDERNEATH* the playard, so that the bottom is much softer for baby. We might do this at some point in time. However, since we are not using it on concrete, I am very okay with the bottom paired with a blanket. It makes for easier cleanup, too. Our son was able to crawl (at 4 months old!) a little bit, both on the blanket as well as on the teal bottom of the playard without trouble. He has also fallen asleep without any trouble in the playard, even once with his face pressed against the mesh side (pictured).The description does state that the liner (mesh and bottom) is removable and machine washable. However, in an answer to one of the questions the seller states that it is not machine washable. I am not sure if it is or not, but I have washed it within days of receiving the playard, and it held up perfectly well. Also, for the record I would like to state that the safety description also advises against placing blankets inside the playard. We have chosen to ignore this.I would like to offer some advice to parents whose infant/toddler does not like "baby jail". Begin by putting your infant in there, and play with the infant in the playard. Slowly move up to you being outside the gate, but have the gate open. Then move a little bit further. Make sure that the playard is attractive! We have toys that are ONLY in the playard. They stay there, so that they are "exclusive" toys and this gives the playard a certain appeal. This way he knows that it is not punishment, and that I don't "run off" every time he is in the playard. Yesterday I left our infant in it for about 20 minutes while I sat a few feet away, talking to him. He was happy and did not feel abandoned.Also, talk to your infant. I will move the playard to our kitchen (it's large) while I make dinner or do canning. He's safe in the playard and I talk to him. He's happy and safe, and I don't have to keep an eye on him. Win-win. Also, if you show your infant that being in the playard is not a bad thing, he or she will not feel abandoned. And are really buying yourself short moments of freedom to go to the bathroom or to play a game with older children.This is a very useful outcome for any kind of parent. Obviously one should not leave their infant in this playard for long periods of time, but for a catnap and short durations of time such as making dinner or sweeping the floors, then this is a perfect place for your baby. Our son mostly is placed on his tummy, so that we don't run into issues where babyswings or bouncers can create that "flat" spot on the back of the head. The playard gives the infant the opportunity for tummy time, and for strengthening the neck muscles.

This was better then any pack n play I've ever bought. And I have 4 children, it's super easy to assemble and put away, light weight, locks in place. Very happy customer

Soooo easy to bring out of bag and pop right open. It locks into place from two of the sides. I bought a mat because my little one is learned to sit so he topple over easily and this playpen does not have any cushion on the bottom so didn’t want him to hurt his head. He loves it and now I can comfortably wash dishes or go to the bathroom without worrying he’s slithering away and biting the cables on the ground or on the dirty floor.

After reading a million reviews, I still couldn't decide on a portable playpen, so I ordered the Regalo, D.LIN, and BabySeater since they had free returns.8-Panel RegaloPros:+ Easy to set up and take down+ Larger space (if you have room for it) ~71" corner to corner and 65.5" edge to edge. The inside is a bit smaller since the edges are elevated off the ground, so flat surface area is more like 61" x 59".+ Seems pretty sturdy, although I am wary about longevity because of the negative reviews.Cons:- No padding on the bars with small bolts at the intersections.- Velcro stitched to the mesh felt kind of sharp and seemed like it could snag and damage the mesh in the future.- Might be too big for traveling or if you have a small space.- Bottom panel is super thin with no padding at all.I ended up returning it because I think it is too big for my travel needs and the non-padded bars seemed slightly hazardous.D.LINPros:+ Comes with a separate pad for the bottom. It is thin and not the best quality, but it's nice that it's separate for easy washing.+ Comes with straps to tighten the poles before putting it away.+ Has slight padding on the bars and padded circles at the intersection of the poles. It's thin, but enough to make a difference if a kid runs into it or falls.+ The size is a nice medium size between the other two. I measured it to be 59" corner to corner and 51" edge to edge (interior of 56.5" x 48").Cons:- Doesn't really lock open like the other two.- It's the most tedious to set up and take down. You need to buckle/unbuckle all of the straps at each leg to open and close it. For strurdiness, you'd need to attach the suctions too, which wouldn't work for carpets or outdoors. (I find the photoshopped picture with it sitting in the sand pretty hilarious).- The carrying case has a side zipper, which is a little more tedious to put in than the other two that slide over the top, and a few reviews mention the zipper breaking.- In one of the pictures, it says that the mesh is removable. It doesn't include instructions on how to remove the mesh, and from what I can tell, this can't be done without removing a lot of screws and hardware.I really like how they padded the poles without adding bulk to the playpen, and I wish the other two would do the same. However, I returned it because it didn't seem as sturdy and was much more tedious to set up and put away.BabySeaterPros:+ Easy to set up and take down.+ Has thin padding at the bottom (although would still need more padding underneath for hardwood/tile floors).+ Lack of cross bars means less chance of baby bumping into it; no intersection with nuts sticking out.+ Zippered door means kids can go in and out instead of trying to climb over it; zip on the outside only means kids can't escape from inside.+ Better quality overall (stitching, material).+ Mesh removal seems the easiest on this one.Cons:- Smallest of the three at 54" corner to corner and 47" edge to edge (interior was about the same). I wish it was a little bigger -- 60" would be nice.- Most expensive of the three.- Wish it came with an inflatable mattress to put inside for more padding and easy removal for cleaning.- It would be nice if the poles had padding on it like the D.LIN.Amongst the three, I think I like the BabySeater best. I just wish it were a little bigger. I am intrigued by the Pop n Go by The California Beach Co, but since it's not free returns, and it's significantly more expensive, I may stick with the BabySeater.

Super quick and easy to put up and take down by myself in 2 minutes or so. The baby has plenty of space to move around and for all of her toys too. Tall enough that she can’t climb out. No danger of her hitting her head on any of the bars. The mesh is very durable and also more transparent than other playpens so she can see what’s going on in the room around her while she’s in it. It has a zipping door. Very easy to fit into the bag without any hassle. The only thing that could use alittle improvement is that the bottom has no padding and is as thin as a regular flat sheet on a bed. We have ours in a carpeted room so it’s not that big of a deal but I wouldn’t recommend putting this playpen on a hard floor without a thick blanket or some type of rug or mat underneath. There isn’t a pad or mat available to buy in this size to fit inside. They are all too big or too small. We bought a pack of foam tile squares that snap together and I cut and made a mat to put inside the one at my moms house since she has a hardwood floor and it works really well. Very pleased with this playpen & I recommend this one over all of the other ones. Definitely worth the money and affordable!

Buena calidad, tamaño y súper practico. Se dobla muy fácilmente. Lo único es que tienes que comprar algún tapete para ponerle abajo y que no le duela al bebé si se cae
