A great addition to the Ocean Wodners family, October 21, 2005
This review is from: Fisher-Price Aquarium Play Yard (Baby Product)
This item was not available when we had our daughter or we would have had it then! I LOVE the Ocean Wonders set and when I saw this play yard it was no different and we had to have it for our next arrival.
We had a bad experience with our first play yard and had to return it for a Graco. I was dead set against anything but another Graco until we got to play with this one. I was really happy when we saw it was just as great as our Graco and it works the exact say way. I actually like this model better and for once I am happy we gave all our previous baby stuff away! This one is easy to set up and collapse. It folds up and has the matching carrying bag plus it matches all our other baby gear.
But the one thing I liked best was it didn't have all the silly extras that the others do . When we bought our first one I thought we had to have it all! We ended up dropping $150 bucks on a basic play yard with a changing unit, soothing unit and storage bins. I seemed great until we had our daughter. Within days the little wiggle worm was rolling over and was able to get herself under the changer. She became stuck under there at 2 weeks old and it was taken off for good. The diaper stacker kept falling off and the wipe hold let them dry out. The soother scared her to death! She hated the vibrate, nature noises, music and light! Poor thing would wake up from a dead sleep if we pushed and of those button. So by the one month mark we had it stripped down to just a plain old play yard like this one.
But the one thing this one has that none of the rest have is the cool swimming fish mobile and soother. Something about the Ocean Wonders soothers worked for us. The ocean waves never failed to calm our daughter. We actually purchased a second OW aquarium to hook to her play yard for that very reason. But this one comes with its own. It's really is great!
We had all the Ocean Wonders stuff for our daughter and when the time came to buy for our son we bought it all again. It is great and you will not be disappointed with any of it. They only complaint I have it there are not more pieces! I would love to see a matching excersaucer and travel system!

Fisher-Price Aquarium Play Yard, January 9, 2007
This review is from: Fisher-Price Aquarium Play Yard (Baby Product)
Awesome! Functional, cute and practical. My 3 month old son loved this. I was flying to NY and had it sent ahead to Grandma's house. Amazon shipped lightening fast. My son loved the bright colors and even the white writing against the blue background. It is sturdy and easy to assemble. The mobile is a very nice touch.

Bought 3 for my Triplets!, November 24, 2006
This review is from: Fisher-Price Aquarium Play Yard (Baby Product)
Absolutely loved these! I bought 3 for my triplets! I checked out allot and these and couldn't afford much since I needed three. At this price range is was the most sturdy I could find and spacious. Some other ones had a funky bassinet on top that wouldn't lay flat and the same with the bottom. But this one was very flat and very stable! That was our main concern, safety. Then there was the great colors and fish decor. It's very fun looking. The mobile was they're small infants is great. When they get older where they can pull at it themselves I wasn't as keen on only because the pull string was just a satin ribbon, but not a big deal because by that age they're too busy playing with other toys. The bottom pad/board stays secure, which is great. What we did when they were still infants was buy waterproof playpen pads so if they drool it wouldn't mess up the padding below. There's wheels on one end that lock so when they stand and start rocking they won't go anywhere and then when you want to move them they roll well. They pack up nice and tight too with a great bag!
*Highly recommended!
