Product Description

Amazon.com

This collapsible playpen sets up in a flash and folds down just as quickly so it can be carried throughout the house, used in the yard, or toted on an airplane. When opened up, the play yard measures 28 by 40 inches, which is big enough to contain a crawling baby for about 15 minutes of safe playtime or suffice as a backup crib. The playpen comes with a removable bassinet with a canopy and plush animal mobile, where baby can rest during infancy. The nursery center also includes a swing-away changing area so it can conveniently serve as an additional changing table in another room or floor of the house.

A sturdy lightweight steel frame supports the playpen while durable nylon and mesh fabrics cover the sides and hold up to brief periods of outdoor use. A screen on one side panel rolls down to block out wind or sun for comfortable outside play or napping. An elastic pouch at one of the ends stores toys or stuffed animals while an organizer for parents clips onto a side to contain diaper-changing essentials. Designed in the Palm Tree design, this portable nursery station is tan accented with corresponding plaid prints and comes with a matching nylon travel bag with handles for long-term excursions. --Cristina Vaamonde

i made certain all sides were locked prior to placing my 14 month old daugher in this playyard. within five minutes the lock broke and the side collapsed on my daughter. thankfully she was unharmed. i called the company and was given a very hard time and was told i would have to send the item back to them to be repaired. i did NOT want to ever place my child back in this play yard as the directions specifically state if the sides collapse it can cause injury and DEATH. anne and connie at baby trend were very rude and unhelpful and insisted i send it back for repair. fortunately i was able to return it to the store, and after a discussion with the manager who saw my play yard was in perfect condition gave me a refund and i PROMPTLY WENT AND BOUGHT A GRACO. do not buy this product or your child could be seriously injured.

1.0 out of 5 stars DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT..., April 6, 2005

...unless you are able to open it up before buysing and check to make sure it can actually be assembled!

After spending nearly an hour trying to decipher the vague and poorly detailed instructions/diagrams for assembly, I reached a point where I could not continue where one of the support poles could not be properly inserted into the bassinet fabric.

After contacting customer service, apparently the area had been "overstitched" to where the pole could longer be inserted all the way through and I was told I would have to order a new bassinet fabric altogether and wait an additional 7 business days for it to be ordered and sent to me. (And Judging from the rep's precognitive "guess" as to what my problem was, it was also very apparent that this was not an isolated issue but probably one affecting several other customers in the past as well.)

After realizing the total lack of professionalism practiced by this company - selling a defective product - I began to seriously think about simply returning the product in exchange for a NON-Baby Trend product; and after now reading several other reviews warning against the safety of this product as well, I will MOST DEFINITELY return it and never buy another Baby Trend play yard product again!

Save you money, time, piece of mind - and YOUR BABY'S LIFE - by not buying this product!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars A great playard, but room for improvment, July 21, 2005

I really could have used a plain-jane playard, like with my first child (now 18 months) but I found that I REALLY wished it had a canopy, so I purchased this one for my now 5 month old.

PROs
- Very simple to set up. If you follow all the directions, it will be up in about 25 minutes
- Sturdy, nothing broke off or fell off. My 18 month old can even stand in it without breaking it
- The changing table (although I thought wouldnt be used) is great because it flips up and over (the Graco model like this was WAY too extravegant) and its comfortable... trust me, you will thank the flip version!
- The bassinet is sturdy, and low enough that my baby (premie) is still inside of it. Its a full sized one too
- It wheels around and I have managed to fit it through our doorways
- The canopy is TERRIFIC! For the first 4 months while in our room, this blocked him from the sun AND a very curious toddler! The animals are adorable, and actually colorful
- I love that everything fits into the bag provided, EVERYTHING! Its also lightweight and easy to bring on flights, or to grandmas
- The playard folds in minutes, and goes up the same. Its still strudy and easy to use.
- I like the storage, I can fit diapers, wipes, creams, pacifiers, toys, the carrybag, and a few blankets in the various pockets.

CONs
- Its a bit too "frilly" for my taste. The dustruffle also attracted DUST and my cat enjoyed hiding underneath it. I removed it as well, after finding several bottles and pacifiers underneath the playard
- There is no music or vibrations (atleast in ours). We had to use the music from something else, which was a really annoying hassel.
- I wish that it had an actual mobile, that would spin to entertain my baby
- The bag doesnt have a handle, this is VERY annoying and even after trying to attach our own, it falls off and is hard to carry.
- Its NOT NOT NOT for the beach or the park! I have to use the old playard (colorful Graco model, just the bottom pen) because this is a nightmare to clean (unless if its just being used on the deck or something)
- This is the same with nearly ALL playards, but you cannot securly attach crib toys, or really any toys for that matter onto the playard for entertainment... I dont know how well it will be for "playing".

All in all I really love this Playard, and I will defiantly be keeping it. With a few improvements, this would defiantly be the only one to get.
