Review by red : awesome.

This is a great product to buy. It is a bit tricky the first time you put it up, but after that you are golden. It is alot bigger than alot of other play pens. I priced checked others at different stores and this one was bigger than all the rest, lighter and very well priced. Great to take to an older persons house, they can set it up and carry it will ease. I have already told people about it.

Review by Barbsjemms : My favorite playard...one caveat

I agree this playard is really confusing to put up and take down! When you put it up, you have to be careful not to allow the bottom to flatten out before you get all four sides popped into place. Once all four sides are clicked into place and forming a rectangle, then you can push down the center and drop in the mattress. Reversing the process is even worse. There is a circular plastic part in the center of the floor under the mattress that you are supposed to twist and lift before collapsing the sides. I couldn't for the life of me figure out how to do this, and I'm a mom of seven! Then I noticed there is actually a little handle-lever that you are supposed to lift up from the center circular part. Nowhere in the directions did I notice this lever. It seemed like they wanted you to twist the entire circle to release the legs and floor. Once you pull that lever and the bottom collapses inward, you can pop down the sides. Just be careful to get both interior buttons pushed on each side so that each side will fully fold up.

I've gone through 5 different portacrib playards in the past 20 years. This one is my favorite. It's slightly bigger (wider) than Graco so an older toddler can sleep comfortably when traveling. It's considerably lighter to carry (16lbs vs 22lbs). No bells and whistles (changing tables or other unnecessaries) and the price is fantastic. Minus a half star for complicated folding requirements and another half star off for crappy directions.

Review by Abagale : Perfect, Just what I was looking for!

Couldn't be happier with my purchase. I was going to go with a more expensive one with the bassinet and toy bar but since my daughter is about 8 mos old, I decided on this. Couldn't be happier. You can't really see the pad on the bottom of the picture but it's completely black and seems like it would hold up for a good amount of time. It's also way bigger than I expected it to be. Great color and very functional. Super easy to set up. I didn't even really need the directions. All in all a great playard.

Review by Sassy shopper : Excellent Product. Great Value

Ordered this product from the UK for our vacation home in Florida and had it delivered in our absence so was a bit wary about what to expect. I wanted a large playard which my 12 month old Grandaughter could sleep in when she stayed there recently but didn't want to spend too much as it will only be used occasionally. I didn't purchase the mattress which Amazon suggested to go with it as I had read several negative reviews about it being a very poor fit. Instead I ordered a mattress from the UK which was made to measure and my son took it over with him. This was a bit of a hassle as it was bulky to take on the Plane and a bit of a gamble that it would actually fit properly when he got it there as the measurements provided for the Playard were not very clear. However my gamble paid off and I have ended up with a perfect roomy and comfortable travel cot for my Grandaughter at a very reasonable price. My son said it was easy to assemble, is very stable, looks good and whatsmore my Grandaughter slept well in it which is a major result as she generally doesn't do sleeping! I would definately recommend this Playard but you would need to find a suitable mattress if you intend to use it as a travel cot. The company I ordered the mattress from also provide made to measure fitted sheets which would also be a problem to find. Altogether this cost me a fraction of the price of some of the alternatives on the market.

Review by L. Shaw : Great product at an incredible price

The playard is obviously a no-frills playard, but perfectly suits my needs. I purchased this for my 10 month old daughter for a few out-of-town trips planned. It is extremely easy to set up and breakdown, but I will say that I had a little difficulty mastering the directions on the breakdown. The instructions say to simply lift up and push down. On the sides of the playard there are white arrows indicating where to lift. Right underneath them there is a button which needs to be held in before you can push down the side. Once you have figured out that trick, it is a piece of cake.

Review by Eleni Koros : Great playard

I was hesitant to purchase this as there were no reviews posted however I am so happy that I did. It is well priced and has excellent value. Most of the play yards were over priced in my opinion. This one has plenty of room and it is shaped in more of a rectangle which I found was more appealing to my little one as he likes to hold on to the sides and walk along the edge. It is very sturdy and closes easily. Haven't packed it to go anywhere just yet but we are very happy with it. It was shipped very quickly as well! Definitely would recommend it.

Review by D. West : Play pen review

Its actually not that bad of a play pen.. Sturdy and safe and big. I bought one for my 1 year old God-daughter and she was able to stand up and talk and play without being cramped. I will tell you this.. YOU HAVE TO PUT THE BOTTOM DOWN BEFORE YOU EXTEND THE RIM OF THE PEN! It will not go up correctly if you do not.

Review by Holly Bakes : I like it better than Graco

I am a mom of 3 little ones under the age of 4... and I've owned 2 standard graco pack n plays, the colorful square graco totbloc, and now this. I love this play yard. It seems to be lighter than a graco, but is sturdy. The pad is soft. You can't see it well from the pictures, but the design is really nice. It's little white leaves on stems. This play yard is a little bigger than a standard graco, but smaller than the totbloc. It's a good size for us and I only wish I had found this 4 years ago and registered for it for my baby shower. I really do like this better than any of the gracos I've owned. It folds easily, but read the directions. It's a little different than folding a graco. Just one thing. Make sure you order this from the page that says free shipping. When I did an amazon search for this, the only one that came up was from an outside seller, so I paid shipping. Then when I came back later to re-read the review, it came up as free shipping through amazon. So, make sure you get the free shipping. Not sure what happened to me. It was weird, I was annoyed, but I'm over it now. Just want to warn others. Anyway, this is a great product, a great price, and I could not possibly love this play yard more than I do. Just a plain and simple product that does its job well. Couldn't ask for more.
