We got this for a granddaughter who is three months old and has outgrown the bassinet she was sleeping in as a newborn at our house. As she will be spending the night with us every so often we wanted something she could sleep in as well as something she could spend time playing in and this seemed to fit those needs.
We got the playard in Poppy.
When you get it out of the box there are no instructions on how to put it together. We went online and found some on Youtube. After you know what you are doing and what parts go where the process is pretty simple though there are more steps than with other playards. This is a good thing as the steps start to show you the quality of this item. So, don't go looking for an instruction manual as there isn't one. At least not with ours.
As we are using this for a baby who is almost four months old we were happy to find that they bassinette part not only has rods to keep it sturdy it also zips to the play yard itself; that means there are no gaps between the bassinet part and the side of the play yard. It also velcros in various places to the play yard.
The storage organizer is well sized and holds many diapers as well as the baby wipes. It attaches to the playard with velcro straps and is easy to take on and off and holds its shape if you have to remove it.
The diaper changing station is sturdy and while it is attached to the playard it also folds over and to the side so you can use it and then move it out of the way when done. Other playards do not have this option.
The mat that comes with is sturdy and folds easily. I bought a Biloban Waterproof Crib Mattress Pad Cover for Pack N Play and it fit perfectly; it also padded the pad so the baby could rest more easily. As we have a girl baby in our family I got pink sheets from Amazon; Pack n Play Playard Mattress Sheets 2 Pack, 100% Jersey Knit Egyptian Cotton Stretchy Portable Mini Crib Sheets. They are soft and stretchy and fit well.
The directions to fold this yard up are printing inside the playard. Follow them or else you might be as frustrated as my husband when he tries to take this down to move it.
The removable toy bar is pretty; our granddaughter has not paid much attention to it yet.
After four other grandchildren, this Playard is the nicest one we have purchased. The day after we got it Amazon dropped the price by ten dollars and they do not price match. So, keep an eye on the price as it changes. We paid 109.99 and now it is 98.49.
My daughter has a playard that has Minnie Mouse designs that they got at Walmart for more than I paid for this one. Theirs is not as sturdy and the diaper changing station is either on the playard all the time or you have to take it apart and remove it when it is not needed and then put it together again when you do. She wishes she had this one at her house.
If you are a parent or grandparent looking for a playard or Pack n play this will is a good one.,
