Busy Mom's Best Friend
on November 8, 2020
Posted by: MilkyMomma
from Jackson, Mississippi
This playard is a busy mom's best friend! I use it almost daily to help keep baby nearby and out of reach of my two-year-old as we go through our daily routine. The compact size is perfect for fitting through the doorway and the wheels make it a breeze to roll from one room to another. It rolled easily on tile and wood but struggled a bit on a low-pile rug. The height is excellent and kept baby out of reach of my curious two-year-old. I love the peek-a-boo mesh on the sides so baby and toddler could still see each other as baby played in the bassinet. The bassinet has flexible sides, so it's easy to lay baby down with a gentle, swaying motion to help avoid waking.
I love the sleek, modern design. It is lightweight and sturdy. There is a convenient flip changer on the side. This makes changing baby anywhere you are a breeze. However, you have to flip the changer out of the way to use the bassinet. The flip is an excellent feature; however, I struggled to detach the changer with one hand (I had baby in the other). It would be lovely if the changer were easier to flip one-handed since that is my life right now. There is no doubt, the changer is attached firmly and securely. I recently removed the changer from the playard (I love this option) and it took a good, firm tug to remove it.
This playard is a total Breeze to setup and collapse. I couldn't believe it the first time I assembled this product. Even changing the bassinet to the lower level mattress was a snap. Almost everything about this product is a dream-come-true. A giant thank you to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for sending me this item for free to try and review. I've had a wonderful experience!
I would recommend this to a friend!

So easy to set up!
on November 9, 2020
Posted by: Saltobelli
from North Riverside, IL
Overall, this playard is amazing. I use it as a changing station in my living room. I also use it as a place to set my son down in a safe place when I need to do something. Very easy to set up and take down. Using the bassinet part was very easy to use as well. The one downfall I noticed with the bassinet part is that it isn’t too sturdy. So when I would lay my son in it, who is currently 16lbs, he was able to rock it back a forth a bit when he would kick his legs. Definitely think it would be fine for a younger, lighter baby. In theory, the flip changer is nice but for me, it was very difficult to actually flip the changer. I had a hard time releasing it from the sides. Now, once it was released it was super nice to have it out of the way. I do wish the changer was bigger because it does feel squished. Overall, i really like the quickness and ease of setup and functionality. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this playard!

Easy-to-use playard with impressive features
on November 9, 2020
Posted by: Melissa5
from Jerome, ID
The 4moms Breeze Plus Playard has really impressed me! I'm a first-time mom, and I'm realizing that paying a slight premium for baby gear that saves me time and is easy to use is well worth the initial investment. This playard is sturdy, stylish, and is seriously so ridiculously easy to use. We previously used a traditional pack 'n play, but it was a complicated, two-person setup that I dreaded having to move anywhere. In contrast, the Breeze Plus can be put up one-handed while holding a crying baby! I'm also impressed with the longevity of the bassinet, now that the updated version runs the bassinet lengthwise. My son is 10 weeks old and is in the 98% percentile for height, and we still have several more weeks of use out of it. The bassinet insert has several connectors to the frame, so I'm confident that it's secure, but I like that I'm still able to push against the mattress and sway him to sleep if he needs it. My only complaint was that the flip changer was not easy to use, and my baby very quickly grew out of it. I wish that there was some kind of click in or lock feature when attaching it to the main frame, because I could never really tell if I had it pushed down far enough. In contrast, the arms of the changer locked into the sides almost too well - it was definitely a two-handed job to try and get them off. 9 times out of 10 when I would try to flip the changer to the side the whole thing would just come off. Overall though, this play yard is very well designed and I'm looking forward to using it for years to come! Big thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this playard to test and review.

Convenient and multipurpose!
on November 9, 2020
Posted by: Jules
from Boston
I love that this has everything you need in one place. We have 3 floors in our house and with a toddler to chase as well it’s really helpful to be able to change the baby wherever we are and to put her somewhere safe quickly. I like the bag as well as it is easy to fit it back in. It was very easy to set up, break down and put back in the bag.
I really love that the changer flips out of the way and the sheets are really nice, thick and soft!
Since the bassinet hangs in the center you can “rock” the platform and my baby loves that for falling asleep.
It is a tiny bit on the heavier side and it doesn’t fold down as small as the other one we have (that is falling apart now from all of the travel), but that one is harder to set up because it folds down more.
I would also love the option to access the part under the bassinet when the bassinet is attached as it would be nice to store some supplies in that area while not being used at this stage. That would also allow access to the pull strap to fold it down as it would be nice to do that sometimes without taking off the bassinet part.
I have not used the bottom part but I’m happy to have that for later!
Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this playard!

Great concept but difficult to use
on November 9, 2020
Posted by: Lizziaxo
from Virginia
I received this product through the Stellar Product Testing Panel. The concept of this playard is great as it is very versatile and would be ideal for traveling with a small baby. However, I found it very difficult to use the playard without the assistance of my husband. In my opinion, the aspect that makes this playard different from other travel cribs/playards is the flip changer. I could not connect/disconnect the flip changer from the bassinet for the life of me! My husband was able to but it wasn't easy for him either. This made it impossible for me to use the playard when my husband wasn't home. We did not feel comfortable laying our baby in the bassinet while connecting/disconnecting the flip changer due to the force needed to pop it off. So you have to have another chair/bassinet nearby to lay your baby in while adjusting this playard, which just seems silly. Ultimately, I would be using this type of product for overnights at the grandparents or travel and I would just not feel comfortable with this particular product and it would not meet my needs conveniently.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Awesome multiuse play yard
on November 9, 2020
Posted by: Sudzyrules
from Madison, MS
I LOVE this product! Multiple uses, for stages from tiny baby through to toddler (even preschooler!). I received this product to review as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. Some of my favorite features are the easy one-handed setup/pickup (vital with a fussy baby in your arms!), the easy flip change table and the wheels on the bottom for easy maneuvering.
I also love that this newer version has lost some weight compared to older models-it’s easier for this Mama to carry when Daddy isn’t around! The size of the bottom means that we also can continue to use this play yard for many years, as my 3.5yo currently uses an older model when we go to visit family. I like that the bassinet mattress is now integrated into the full size mattress, meaning you are less likely to forget parts at home when you go on a trip-you literally grab the bag and go.
We mostly use this item for naps/bedtime when visiting family, but it is portable and useful enough that we occasionally will use at home as well, especially if we have company to stay who have a baby too!
Overall excellent product, will have a long life in our house and well worth the cost.

Game Changing Playard!
on November 9, 2020
Posted by: Nicole B
from New Jersey
I was given this playard to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. Let me just say, this playard is a game-changer. I’ve owned multiple playards in the past from various manufacturers, and always get hung up on the assembly. My favorite feature is that it can be opened with one hand, and disassembled with one push of the button. Without looking at the instructions, I was able to easily put together the complete playard with bassinet insert and changing topper in under one minute. The playard mattress pad easily unzips in two areas to create the smaller bassinet mattress pad, and both mattress toppers are plush and cozy, with a modern design. My daughter is 4 months (13.5 lbs and 25 inches long) and slept comfortably overnight in the bassinet insert when I traveled to my parent’s house for a weekend visit. I like how the changing top flips down, so you never actually have to take it apart unless you are going to pack it up to travel. The only downside to this playard is that it does not come with any storage pockets for items like diapers or wipes. Otherwise, it’s high quality and perfect! I look forward to using this playard as my daughter grows.

Grows with baby
on November 9, 2020
Posted by: Kvboozer
from Michigan
I received this as part of the stellar review panel and what a great addition it’s been! I love that it grows with us with the bassinet part for newborn stage and then I only have to zip on the side panels to use the bottom playyard and don’t have to store an extra mattress or product. Very easy to set up and take down with just a quick push or pull. The changing pad is a little difficult to get on when using as the bassinet but a convenient feature as well. The sheets are comfortable and wash well, too.
