Playards Reviews

Playards (a.k.a Playpens) is one of the important must-haves for new parents.  The simple styles are perfect as portable day beds for napping away from home or as a secure location for Junior when you need your hands free.  More deluxe models also include removable change tables and diaper storage for extra convenience.  Choose a playard with a compact folding design you can easily transport in your car trunk.

Our Tip: older toddlers can climb out of these playards or tip them on their side, so follow manufacturer guidelines and understand your child's gymnastic capabilities for maximum safety!

Some well-known playard manufacturers include Graco, Safety 1st, Cosco, and Eddie Bauer.

Dream On Me, Sunset 3" Extra Firm Fiber Mini/Portable Crib Mattress

1 review

We loved this mattress for baby when she moved from the infant sleeper in her Pack n' Play to the large open bottom. She slept like a dream and really loved how much she could stretch out and wiggle about. This is an awesome deal and the quality is nothing to sneeze at.

I purchased this for my one year old when we needed to take a weekend trip. He had never slept in anything other than his crib before, so I was worried he might not sleep well in it. Thankfully, he slept just like he would anywhere else. I purchased this because it was a more...

I would recommend this product only if you have your own crib and enough spane at your home. I had this product but don’t seems to satisfy the baby. Quality is good but not reliable.

We have a small space and it is perfect on our living room. I like how it has a bassinet and diaper changing area. The height works perfectly because I am a petite person. Although the bassinet is a lil small it should be fine for 2 months. The organizer is a great help when...
Cosco Easy Go Travel Playard - Phantom Black

I bought this portable play yard to give my son (6 months) a safe place to sleep when we are visiting family or going out of town. The top appears to be a bit flimsy but that does not take away from the effectiveness of the play yard. I would compare this to a tent in regards to...

I really like these mats as they are multipurpose and my kid is liking it a lot. It attracts my kid to play and remain active because of the vibrant colors. Sometimes I use it for my yoga as well.
Graco Pack 'n Play with bouncer

2 reviews

This is a great system to have. We use the bouncer around the house and my son enjoys the vibrating option. We didn't use the change table part of the pack n play. The bassinet is a nice size and provides an option when your baby needs to transition to a crib. It's great quality...

There are so many options with the graco pack n plays and the price is warranted by the quality. It’s easy enough to take apart and put together for someone myself who can only ever skim a direction, easy to change from Infant to toddler, and there is a family of additions...

We purchased this pack-and-play on sale at Best Buy. The price was decent and once it's set up, it works well, but we've had issues getting the two shorter sides to click into place. Sometimes it takes several minutes of pulling on them to get them locked. Overall wouldn't...
Graco Pack 'N' Play Bassinet and Play Yard

36 reviews

My daughter has a Graco Pack n Play at each of her grandparents house - great for changing diapers, nap time and a safe place to be when there are no eyes on her for even a slight second. The add on bassinet/changer are a little stiff to put on so I seldom have it attached...

Tres cher! Je l'est recu en cadeau parce que je n'aurais pas payé ce montant la. Pratique avec sa table a langer...oui...mais une necessité? Non! Tres beau et utile par contre. A part le mobile qui ne tourne pas... Il y a aussi une petite lumiere et quelques sons.
Evenflo BabySuite Deluxe Playard

I used this for my nephew when he was a baby. I will say, the compartments are just perfect to fit all needed supplies. The entire thing is very light weight. Used it since he was born, and I still use it for him to have naps in. Wish the mobile was a bit more exciting for when...

I purchased the Graco Pack and Play Play yard from Walmart for the duel purpose of a bassinet and playpen. The model I purchased also had a change table piece. I gave this product a 5 star rating because for what I used it for I'm 100% satisfied. I will mention that I didn't...
Ingenuity Washable Playard

I am absolutely in love with this playard. When my baby was younger she started out with this. We had her crib in her own room but kept the playard in my room. I had it next to my bed and at night she would sleep in the bassinet that was attached. It was incredibly helpful for...
Love u zoo playard

I received a Love U Zoo playard for a baby shower gift and loved it. It would go well for a boy or girl. The vibrant color of the mat is amazing. It comes with a little bassinet, a change table and a mobile. The change table material is easy to wash down. It's easy to assemble...

very high quality and I trust that it's safe. Doesn't get tippy or anything and stays secure on the ground while the baby can play in it while I take care of other things.
Safety 1st Travel Ease LX Playard

4 reviews

I bought this playard because it was on sale. I wanted a new one because I figured just being at the start of my childbearing years (and the years of my family and friends) that it would get lots of use. I used the change station every day for the first 3 months or so, It was...
Evenflo BabySuite Deluxe Playard Woodland Buddies

1 review

This is a typical pack 'N play, its portable, easy to fold most of the times, nice change table feature, ok storage pockets. It is best for play time, not so much for sleeping in. It sinks a bit in the center, not the best support, looks a bit uncomfortable for baby to sleep in...
