Summer Infant Pop ‘n Play Portable Playard Review

Summer Infant Pop ‘n Play Portable Playard Review

pro

The Pop ‘n Play Portable Playard allows you to easily create a safe portable play area for your child. The ultra-lightweight and compact fold playard can be set up and taken down in seconds, making it perfect for use at home, a day at the park, or a weekend at the beach. The water resistant floor helps keep baby dry even on damp grass. Airy mesh sides provide added visibility. A travel bag with shoulder strap is included for on-the-go convenience.

Now that I am outside gardening, pulling weeds, and just horsing around with the kids, I occasionally need to keep them in one spot for their safety.   Gardens can be more dangerous than you might think for kids, but a playyard is a great way to keep children away from potential hazards like the gate, ponds, barbecues, or firepits (get safe ones from ssfirepits.com) Summer Infant’s Pop ‘n Play is the perfect playard for families. I have tried to lug my pack n play outside and set it up. Its just too much! They are great for kids to sleep in, but not to move around from spot to spot. We need to move the playard from the front yard, to the backyard, then to the side of the house all sometimes in 30 minute intervals based on what I am doing. This playard is so easy to pick up and move. If you have a small child, then you need this Summer Infant Pop ‘n Play Portable Playard.

When I received my Pop ‘n Play I was shocked at how light it was. It was easy for me to carry one handed. As I slide it out of the carrying case and set it on the ground I was able to open it in one easy push. It neatly and smoothly glided into place. That easy! After I slide it down I simply clicked the support straps in place. Easy-peasy lemon squeezy! I cannot understand how I survived my previous 2 years without this product. It really is a staple and should be on every expecting mom’s registry.

The Summer Infant Pop ‘n Play is available at Babies R Us, Amazon, WalMart, Lowe’s & Target
