Perfect for second napping station
on February 11, 2020
Posted by: Kenriquez84
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I would definitely recommend this playard! It’s easy to set up if you follow the instructions and got easier each time.
I like that it is lightweight and has wheels on one side, so you can easily move it room to room. I am often between the kitchen and family room and could easily set up shop wherever I was hanging out and could easily place my baby in the bassinet or the larger pack n play as he got older. The raised bassinet was great when checking on my son while multitasking- like reading with my other son or cleaning up toys. It says it’s a travel system, but I don’t think the bassinet is able to be folded and taken on a plane. But it was convenient to move around the house and outside.
Overall, the pack n play offered a lot of convenience for allowing the baby to nap on the main floor instead of walking up the stairs to the bedrooms for every nap. I received this product as part of Stellar Product Reviews. Even though I didn’t purchase it, I still highly recommend.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Nice options and classy look
on February 11, 2020

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was pleased to try this pack 'n play as a member of the Stellar Product Testing Panel.
Overall this is a classy looking pack 'n play with a lot of nice features. The basic playard is a nice size and has the net and support system to raise the mattress to function like a bassinet. It comes with an attachable/detachable change station, a portable, basket style bassinet, and a parent organizer that clips onto the side of the playard. Like all pack 'n plays that I am aware of, the playard folds nicely with the mattress into a protective slipcover with a handle for easy transportation and storage. The portable bassinet also folds down after assembly and can be placed in its own carry bag. This is really nice for very young babies because you don't have to take the whole big playard; you can just take the bassinet part in it's carry bag when you want to travel a little lighter.

One thing I don't love is that the extra accessories besides the bassinet unit (i.e. changing table, net support system for raising the play yard mattress, and parent organizer) do not come with any special trick or way to store them so you end up with a neatly stored pack 'n play and bassinet and then a pile of netting, poles, and other units that don't fold up and just sit in a jumbled mess when not in use. This bugs me but I don't know of any other pack 'n play that's any different so I'm not sure how much I can really fault this one for it.
The only additional complaint I have is that this one seemed a bit of a pain to assemble initially. Once I re-read the instructions I realized I had been putting a couple pieces together the wrong way but I felt the instructions were not always super clear.
I think this playard would be great for families who want to forgo a traditional crib and have a smaller, all-in-one option. The portable bassinet really is a nice touch and has me thinking I might get rid of the larger bassinet I have used for my older kiddos. All in all, if you want a portable playard, this would be a nice one to consider because of the flexibility and many options it provides.

LOVE IT
on February 12, 2020
Posted by: Nina622
I was given this playard to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. This Playard is amazing! The dome is great for your newborn, once they start rocking you can move them to the raised playard, then to the deep playard. The sides for the changing table aren't super high so I stopped using that once she was able to start kicking around too much. The changin table part is also difficult to put together because the poles are restricted by the material when assembling. The Dome is much sturdier than I expected and I LOVE that it's easy to fold and take on the go & comes with a carrying case! My baby had a great bed to sleep in everywhere we went! I also love that the sides are mesh so air flow is great, I can see her, and I feel more comfortable knowing it doesn't restrict breathing if she moves over. Even my 2 yo cant get out of the playard so it's very safe. I've had playards before, but having the travel dome bed has been a life saver for me, it's definitely my favorite piece!

Great for Outdoor Loving Families
on February 12, 2020
Posted by: Laurel_Olivia
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got a chance to try this out, thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel. This one comes with the features that make Pack 'n Plays a must for new parents; changing table, two levels for the mattress, and a small amount of storage ... but the detachable bassinet is what makes this model stand out!
When attached to the playard, the bassinet sits nice and high and easy to see, and easy to reach baby. My partner is tall and he likes that it sits higher. It's a lot easier on the back to lift baby in and out when it's attached. My favorite part about the bassinet attachment is the portability! We are an outdoor family and we spend a lot of time in the backyard playing with our toddler ... the portability and UV protection of the canopy gives us a safe place for baby to nap or play while the family is outside. The bassinet's mesh sides also allow airflow, keeping baby nice and cool. It folds down and packs into a carrying bag so it's easy to throw in the trunk for outings to the park or pool.
A few cons: the bassinet attachment is quite small and my baby outgrew it quickly, at least for sleeping. I have big babies, and the bassinet only measures 24 inches by 21 inches. We are still able to use it as a safe space for baby to sleep or play when we're outside, but she isn't able to sleep in it at night as she has figured out how to push her feet against the bottom and wakes herself up when she hits her head. The diaper changing station is also a little smaller than other Pack 'n Play models I've used. It's narrow and doesn't have very deep walls so it doesn't feel as safe. The changing table's cover is also not easily removable, making blowouts and messy diaper changes all the more challenging since the only options are to spot clean the changing table or completely disassemble the changing pad frame to remove the cover to wash it.
Overall though, I would definitely recommend this to friends who are torn on which model Pack 'n Play to buy!

A Registry Must!
on February 12, 2020
Posted by: Katy L
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was given this playard to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. Overall, I think this is a great product and something I would highly recommend to any new parent to put on their registry. I see myself using this as a station in our living room (since our baby's room is upstairs). It has the convenience of the changing table and removable bassinet. It would also be a good alternative to a bassinet beside your bed, but you would need to have a large area or big bedroom since this has a larger footprint. I love the muted colors (not too flashy or annoying) and it is very easy to put together and take down. The bassinet comes with a convenient carry bag, so if you frequently travel or go to other's houses, this handy! Another aspect I love about this product is that it has years on it! Kids grow so fast, and its comforting to know that you can get a few years out of this. I put my 15 month old in it, who is the size of a 2yr old, and she comfortably has enough room to sleep and play. The only thing I wish this product had was handles for the actual playard bag. Although its not too heavy, it is awkward to carry and we travel a lot. It would have been more convenient.

Many uses in one!
on February 12, 2020
Posted by: tiffg
I was given this playard to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. I am so glad that I did. First off, the design and color makes this pack and play good for almost any home design without it feeling out of place. For babies, i love that it has a bassinet so that you can move your baby around with you. The mesh on the side allows you to check on baby without possibly disturbing them and waking them up. I also love that you can take it outside and not have to worry about the sun because the canopy is UV protected. The diaper changer makes things easy as well as the diaper organizer on the side. This eliminates having to buy all these parts separate with is amazing for your budget. For toddlers the pack and play itself is nice for nap time and keeping your child safe and contained. I kept it in my living room because we usually set up shop in there and it was great to have. I'm glad we were about to try it out.

Very versatile
on February 12, 2020
Posted by: Cady D
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My overall opinion of this playard is that it is convenient, versatile, and portable.
After finding the manual in a sleeve on the back of the mattress, assembly was pretty easy. I had trouble with the changing pad, but found I was putting the tubes in the wrong sides.
My baby is 4 months old and still fits in the portable bassinet (PB) and changing table. The removable storage is a great for diapers, wipes, cream, and even clothes! The PB is easy to remove to use around the house or pack in the travel bag when traveling. I would use a muslin blanket to cover the open side if I needed more shade or dimness for nap time. The PB is a great place to keep a newborn safe in a house with other little kids running around like I have, whether it's on the playard or in the kitchen. This playard can be used for years, from newborn to toddlerhood!
One con I found is that when everything is packed up for storage, it's pretty bulky. But even so, it takes up less space than a crib, changing table, bassinet, and playard separately would!

Convenient and portable for a growing baby
on February 14, 2020
Posted by: Beth17
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This pack n play travel dome playard was easily assembled and provides many great features to make life easier with a new little one. The changing station provided convenient access to diapers, wipes and ointments and the area is easily cleaned when baby decides to have an accident on the changing area. The removable bassinet is wonderful to be able to have a safe, flat area for baby to sleep on their back and to have baby within reach at all times and was probably my favorite feature because it decreased on baby equipment. The main bassinet of the pack n play works well for a growing baby. The sleeping area can be lowered once baby is more mobile to continue to have a safe, portable and convenient area for napping and travel. The pack n play can be used for older babies and even young toddlers for travel. The only con I saw was that the changing area didn’t seem to have a very high weight limit and I had discontinue using it since it bent under my baby’s weight. Thank you to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing this playard for me to use and review.
