Design flaws for such an expensive piece!
on April 4, 2017

Trimester:First
We love the roominess and how easy it folds and unfolds, but... the design flaw is the bag that comes with it! What?!?? It's so flimsy for such an expensive pack and play! There is no room for anything but the pack and play... why?!?!? Also, the bag when traveling, it rips apart while being transported.., terrible! Now it. Have to find antohersturdy bag that will with stand the use of traveling and handlers of planes! Another expense... (we have only traveled twice- falling apart). Also, this is not a great pack and play if you travel, this sucker is heavy!!! It's really good if you are stationary to one place-your home. Looks like I will be selling mine for a travel pack and play... what a waste of money!
If I knew about the travel pack and play I would have gotten that instead of this pack and play. If you are a first time mom, I would not buy this and buy something like the baby Bjorn which is super light and folds every easily and you can take it with you to trave. Wish I knew about that pack and play before I made this purchase!

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Easy to open, but proper setup is time consuming

The Breeze pops open (on hard surfaces) just like in the very impressive video, but now comes the hard part: threading 6 velcro straps on the mattress first through the crib sheet, and then through the slots to secure the mattress properly. I am 5'-6", and it's a little difficult even for me (an average height woman) to do because of the height of the playard. Total setup takes me about 3 minutes. When my baby was small enough to use the bassinet, it took an additional 30 seconds or so, but that mattress didn't require securing.
If the bassinet mattress doesn't need to be strapped down, why does the other mattress? Is there a way 4moms could secure the mattress without it taking so long (I think strong magnets might work: they would hold the crib sheet in place too), and then the video could show complete setup in about 60 seconds? The velcro would then be used just to turn the mattress into the case.
Finally, the carrying case is big enough for the main playard, and you can cram the crib sheet into it too, and a swaddle blanket if you're really, really careful. The designers at 4moms really dropped the ball on not including exterior pockets for the bassinet, though, and a few additional pockets for the sheets and other needed bedtime or playtime accessories would go a long way to justifying the purchase.
Overall, I'm still mostly happy that I bought this, but I wish I hadn't been sold on the easy setup when it's actually still a challenge. I might have decided to go with a cheaper, equally safe option that has different complications to set up. As always, do your research.

More than easy

It is not that heavy, so I can carry it with one hand, and hold my little one with my other hand; it it very easy, I can set it up with one hand, and hold my little one with my other hand; my little one can see me and I can just sit next to it so she feels secure and both of us can enjoy our time. What is more, I can be away for a little while when I have to, and I don't need to look for my baby when I am back. The breeze frees me out, and I know that my baby would be safe in it. I am definitely taking it back to China and everywhere we are going. Breeze on the go!! :)

Easy to open/close but REALLY heavy

It definitely is incredibly easy to set up and take down, but it is way heavier than most playards! Just be something to be mindful of... I usually have to have my husband carry it up and down the stairs.

I decided to finally buy the Breeze Plus with our second child on the way, and not wanting to deal with traditional pack and plays again. The unit is very high quality and extremely easy to setup and take back down. Well worth the price instead of having to deal with the hassle and cheaper builds of traditional units. I highly recommend the Breeze plus.

Great for downstairs changes, for now

Our daughter has plenty of places to sleep, so she didn’t use the bassinet, but instead we used it as her “closet” and for diaper storage since it’s next to the changing station. She’s only 9 weeks old but she’s 99th percentile in height so is already growing out of the changing station! I’m looking forward to putting her in the play yard once she starts sitting up.

We are a military family who will be doing a cross country move a month after our baby girl is born. That being said, we decided not to set up a full nursery in our current space and are waiting until after we move. This pack n play is absolutely perfect for us! It’s a bassinet and changing table all in one and will also help SO much during our drive as we stay in various hotels. It was so easy to set up, and we can’t wait to use it when she makes her debut!
