Feels sturdy and well made
November 4, 2019
I owned a different brand's playard for my first baby. This playard is definitely an upgrade. The changing table feels very secure compared to my old playard. Plus, the changing table can be easily moved out of the way when it's not needed. The bassinet is very securely attached. I love the side storage. So far, we have used this at home as a crib for downstairs but we are about to travel and I will be taking this with us. The quality of hotel cribs can vary and they aren't always available during busy holidays. It is comforting knowing I have a reliable, safe crib to travel with.

In love with this PNP!

This is the third pack n play I've owned. The first two don't come close to how convenient this one is. I have an 18 month old that has napped in it and a new week old baby that I've begun using it for as a night time sleeping space/changing area. It's extremely easy to put together and take down. I've moved it from room to room multiple times and it hasn't been an issue at all. I love the color and pattern, it's very well made and super cute. Being able to use the changing table and put it back down without having to take it completely off the pack n play has been great especially postpartum.

Very nice and easy to put together

So many nice features with this playyard which can double as a sleeper I really like how it comes with the diaper changing station and storage. Bonus is the diaper changing station can just flip over and hang off the side when not in use .It is sturdy and well made. The multi sized storage bag is great for different sized baby items.

I really like this! I love the colors. I really like the diaper and wipe holder. it was easy to put together if you follow the instructions on the bottom of the playpen. It is very durable as well. Easy to take down and pack up for vacations and overnights. Doesn't take up much room when stored or in the car. Super cute!

Perfect choice for a playard!
November 3, 2019
The Evenflo babysuite dlx playard in the Prism pattern is gender neutral. The Prism pattern colors are bright and vibrant. I was able to assemble this playard in about 15 minutes. Although instructions were provided, they were not needed. This playard is a nice size and very sturdy. Being that the playard has wheels, you can easily move it from room to room. It fits easily through a standard doorway opening. One of my favorite features of this playard is that it comes with a diaper changing station. The changing station can be flipped off to the side when not in use so it's not taking up space. This playard also comes with a handy storage bag. The bag is a nice size which has dividers to keep baby's things organized. I consider it to be a safety feature because you can easily access your baby's diapers without having to leave the station. The bassinet base and toy bar are removable and can be used as a floor mat for tummy time. Evenflo has really impressed me with the quality, design, and craftsmanship that was put into creating this playard!

Done without instruction.
November 3, 2019
I recieved this product without instructions so it took me a bit to assemble it but once I did, I was satisfied with what I saw! I love the swing back changer and the diaper caddy and two layer height for newborn and so on. I've used several throughout the traveling I've done and I could say that I love this pack and play but I do have to say that the assembling isn't as easy as I hoped it would be. It was like a tent building. I eventually figured it out but alot of work done to assemble it. Might have been my opinion without instructions though. I think if I had the instructions I would've been less frustrated. I could've looked it up but wanted to see if I could figure it out by myself and I did so.... Easy or not I like what I'm seeing.

Amazing playard
November 3, 2019
This Evenflo playard is all you need for your baby. The directions for installation are so easy to follow. The playard is easy to set up and take down it will take a few minutes. The playard comes with a changing station that is of such great use. I like how the changing station can be uncliped and stay folded to the side of the playard when not in use. Another feature I like is the storage organizer. The storage organizer is so spacious I store wipes, diapers, some extra clothes and a blanket. The bassinet mat can be placed on the floor with the toy bar as well perfect for when on the go. This playard will stay for a long time with us we really enjoy how multipurpose it is. It is really convenient to own.

November 1, 2019
The Evenflo Portable BabySuite DLX Playard has been a game changer in my house. I like the ease of packing it up quickly and going from home, to my office. As a working mom I love how I can easily pack up and set up the playpen quickly. I was impressed with its features. I thought I wouldn't care for the rotating changer, but so far it's been a life changer, when you're not using it just rotate out. I also loved that I could take out the mat from the playard and use it for my baby's tummy time. I highly recommend buying this playard, you won't regret it!

A versatile must-have for new parents!
October 31, 2019
I LOVE this playard! It fits perfectly next to the bed so we can have him near and safe at night. The upper level is great for storing burp clothes, swaddles, and jammies while he's little and sleeping in his Rock-N-Play cradle/sleeper. The napper is sturdy has room for sleeping, room for changing and a detachable napper that works great! The fabric is of good quality and very easy to clean. That is a must with small children. It is great to on the go or just at home. We have been able to use it in lots of places. Love that it can be used as a crib, changing table, bassinet for naps, and play area. Definitely recommended!

Looks nice but heavy
October 29, 2019
My first thought when this item arrived was that the box was really heavy for what was inside, and the actual item is no exception. However, the product design is aesthetically pleasing and I will still be happy to utilize this useful product in our home. I just don't forsee us using it much for travel. If you are looking for an item like this to travel with, there is a different Evenflo product on the market that is lighter and more travel-friendly. :)

Used for both of my boys with no issues
October 17, 2019
I was gifted this set when pregnant with my now 3 year old son. It has held up wonderfully. It was used for an entire year with my first and 3 months so far with my second and is still like brand new. I do used a 3" mattress pad that is a special order to fit properly, maybe that is the difference between my experience and some of the other reviews? It's not the fanciest set but is well worth the price.

Coming apart! Horrible!
September 27, 2019
I bought this off of Wards.com in July for my (then) 3 month old granddaughter to sleep in when she spends the night with me. I have had her over night 3 times since then which means I have used the Play yard 3 times. When I went to break it down this last time I found that it is ripping apart on the edge seams. (photos below) So my now 5 month old granddaughter no longer has a safe place to sleep. I'm afraid to use it if it has already started coming apart, what if it falls through while she is sleeping? I am so disappointed! You would think for this price you could get something that lasts beyond 3 uses. The baby isn't big enough to sit up alone yet so it's not like she could have been too rough with it. She simply sleeps.

Netting torn after a few months
September 25, 2019
I bought this product in January for our infant to sleep in full-time since we didn't have space for a crib. It had been fine except about a week ago the mesh netting tore away from the bottom on one side, so now there's a large hole. My son sometimes leans up against the sides of the playard when he wakes up, but I'm surprised that after only a few months of use, the product is starting to fall apart. I tried to upload a photo here but it didn't work.

Factory Defect---Bassinet Daphne
September 2, 2019
The playpen looks great easy to setup, but the bassinet has a factory defect. The baby is due anytime now, How are we going to use it!!! Don't you have inspectors that check to make sure everything is right. Tried to upload a picture, but kept getting an error. The assembly poles are defective. 1 insert pole, and 3 poles that need the insert.

Great for travel!
August 16, 2019
We got this playard when our baby boy was 4 months old. We were going to Europe and we needed something small enough to fit standard size travel suitcase. We didn't want to pay additional baggage fee. This playard worked great! My son slept in it for 3 weeks (we were using bassinet at that time) and we left the playard at my parents house. Next time he used it he was just over one year old. We went to Europe and traveled a lot. Playard was traveling with us. It is easy to setup and folding takes less than 3 minutes. I absolutely love a playmat and diaper changing table features. This playard is everything you need when traveling with a newborn/toddler! It also looks great. We got many compliments from people who saw it. I would definitely recommend it to anyone!

Poorly designed base
April 29, 2019
Easy to set up and breakdown. Handy accessories The center sets so much lower than the outer 4 legs that child can't do anything besides lay in spot balled up. Mat is made so cheesy that it doesn't even hold up the toy that comes with it. I'd say if your looking for something cheap it'll get ya by till you no longer use the bassinet. But it's no cheaper than the better built ones. Don't buy

Not suitable for sleep
January 19, 2019
This bassinet feature is not suitable for sleeping as the sides are not mesh and baby can suffocate. There are literally warnings on the bassinet stating that babies can suffocate. It pad is slippery and my baby easily moves around making it entirely possible for her to end up against the edge. The change pad is great though. Haven't tried the lowered feature yet but have heard the pad isn't thick enough

Broke the first time we opened it!
January 6, 2019
We received this as a gift for our baby shower and were very excited to use it at our inlaws' a few months later. We set it up at home as a "trial run" and found it very awkward to disassemble. We used the instructions but still managed to accidentally snap a very small plastic clasp off the bottom mechanism. It turned out that this tiny piece of plastic was all that was holding the bottom flat, so now our playpen will not lock open without jamming an umbrella or stick through the bottom. Complete waste of money. We have this brand-new, huge bag full of playpen and it is completely useless to us now. Very disappointed.

Whether it's to a relatives house or on long trips, the playpen is easy to put together and doesn't take up a huge amount of space. The wheels make it so easy to relocate and is very sturdy. My boy seems to enjoy the space that he has using then playpen to move around and play with his toys. I definitely recommend!

Okay but wish I had bought different brand
July 24, 2018
So far, my 3 month old has been using it successfully, though how he can sleel on the thin cardboard is beyond me. The changer has been sturdy as well. And the side pockets are really handy. But once you convert it to a playpen, the bottom surface is lousy. Completely unstable. I had my 3 month sleep in the playpen while travelling (didn't take the bassinet attachment), and has to take him out to sleep in the bed with me. The thin mattress had no solid surface to rest on so became lopsided. I bought this product hoping he would play in it until age 2, but now I'm not so sure.

Does anyone know how to attach the soft console that holds diapers etc. on the evenflow p0ortable babysuite? The instructions do not match what I have. It says to insert the two Velcro straps through the openings in the playard, but there are no openings. I did buy it second hand from a lady that never used it.

I just received my pack n' play today. I've had one before, but it was just the playpen, no bassinet or changing table. Very thankful that I have the internet and that there are instructions available online because otherwise I would have had no idea how to put this thing together. Very frustrating after the first hour and almost gave up. Would recommend only if you have the internet and are able to pull up a guide that way, otherwise no way.

The mattress is not comfortable, it feels like a piece of cardboard. I cut a piece of 3" foam on top to make it comfortable for my grandson to sleep. I didn't want to spend a lot of money, since it wasn't going to be used often.The quality isn't that great... I guess you get what you pay for. I was also dissapointed that it didn't fit between the doorways. I have to close it up to get it through. It's an ok playyard.

Terrible mattress
March 22, 2016
The bassinet in this play yard was comfy for our newborn but once we transitioned to the mattress, we were terribly disappointed. There is little to NO padding on the "mattress" and you can feel the hard, middle of the play yard with very little pressure. We have to place blankets between the mattress and a crib sheet (not included) to make this work. I regret purchasing this play yard.

Nice looking but that's about it
July 7, 2014
This is a nice looking product. I bought it because I felt it was stylish but I'd never tried one before. It sets up fairly easily, though not as easy as other brands we've owned. The four locking mechanisms can be finiky and the middle bar feet underneath often prevent the center from going down properly without a hassle and having to crawl underneath to properly position them. The mattress surface is less plush than other brands and creates a hard spot in the center, requiring you to put towls or blankets underneath the mattress to make it soft enough for baby to sleep on. Lastly the mattress is a few inches too short to snugly fit into the playard, leaving gaps at both ends even with velcroing the ends tabs into place. A good deal overall with the added features, but certainly could use some design improvements. Probably would not buy again.

This placard is great in so many ways. First, the design and colors are adorable, newborns love black and white. Second, the price was outstanding compared to some other brands that offer the exact same thing. The changing table part is sturdy and keeps my child in place, the hanging bar and toys provide her something to look at. And the storage bins on the side are perfect for the wipes and diapers. It's easy to clean from my experience, just warm, soapy water and a toothbrush did the trick. We have used this every single day for the past three months that my daughter's been here with us. My only concern about this product is the assembly was a bit tricky.

I have this in the mariana print. I absolutely love this product. My daughter is 3 months old and has been sleeping in this nightly. I did purchase a mattress to make it more comfortable. It is a great size, and is easy to move. I use the changing pad for storage, It is a little low to comfortably change her, but I love the toy bar and side pocket! The toys fall off easily and I have lost one, but overall for the price I am very pleased.

Works great!

We use this playard constantly. It is where our daughter takes naps and plays. It is easy to move between rooms and is a good height so my husband and I (who are slightly above average height) don't have to bend too far to put her in. We have the koi coloring, and even though it is blue, works great for a girl. Finally, the side pocket is a perfect size for some diapers, wipes and a burp cloth!
