Wish we had this when our daughter was a newborn
August 27, 2015
This product works on a variety of levels. It is, as promised on the box, much lighter than other play yards on the market. For me, the best feature was the bassinet sleeper that can come on and off. It functions much like the Fisher Price Rock and Play, which was an absolute life saver with our newborn. I wish I'd had the product then, as it serves as a bassinet in the early months of life, then then sleeper can be easily removed and that leaves the play yard itself.
The play yard mattress is soft without being a safety hazard, and is a really nice neutral color scheme of blues, greens, and grays,
Currently, the play yard is a great way to have my child in the kitchen with me so she can watch me cook and interact with me, without any fear of harm to her from the kitchen itself.
In terms of ease of use, the set up and break down is really very easy and much more so than other products on the market. The folded down play yard and bassinet fit easily back into their strapped carrying case for easy transport. The one and only issue I have with the product is that the mattress has Velcro straps that must be feed through the base of the play yard to secure it. Its awkward to do, but does become easier with every set up.
Overall, I'd give this item a 4 out of 5, and would recommend it to other parents and friends.
