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.

It comes fully assembled!

You read that right people, fully assembled. This is not only easy to open, and use but its ready to go. No more lugging plastic gates that claim to be portable around.

Features:

  • Ultra-lightweight (12lbs) folding metal frame comes fully assembled and unfolds in seconds
  • Mesh sides for easy visibility and weather resistant
  • Compact fold and travel bag with strap for easy portability

Pop n’ Play is perfect for:

  • outdoor play
  • indoor play
  • vacations
  • picnics
  • trips to the beach
  • and more

3 pack

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

Ava Anderson with Erin Review

Ava Anderson with Erin Review

ava 400

Ava Anderson is the premier provider for non-toxic & safe personal and home products. Founder Ava Anderson, at the spry age of 14, noticed that the market is flooded with “organic”, “natural”, “safe” and “pure”, yet there were almost always toxic ingredients included as well. Ava had become truly disturbed at how consumers were unaware of the risks of common brands and how those who thought they were making safe choices often did not know what was really in the products they were purchasing. After months of research, Ava realized that she needed to create her own products. Through a family friend, she located a manufacturer with research facilities that could develop and produce products to her standards. It was a great challenge to develop these revolutionary formulas, but with her vision and persistence she succeeded.”Ava’s Story

 

 

There are tons of hidden toxic ingredients in the products we use. To see a comprehensive list of these chemicals click here.

 

Ava Anderson has products for every area of your life:

  • Ava Skin
  • Ava Face
  • Ava Body
  • Ava Sun
  • Ava Scent

  • Ava Home
  • Ava Smile
  • Ava Baby
  • Ava Garden
  • Ava Men
  • Ava Auto
  • Ava Bugs

My order included a fun little extra fact sheet that I just love. It tells you how to store, apply and use the product. They even include a quote from the Centers For Disease Control, “Sunscreen is not meant to allow children to spend more time in the sun than they would otherwise. Combine sunscreen with other options to prevent UV damage. Sunscreen reduces damage from UV radiation, it doesn’t eliminate it.” 

The sun screens do not contain extra perfumes, so the smell is really refreshing as the natural scent of the product. I know that I won’t get a headache when re-applying it on my children all day. It goes on smooth and wants to absorb into your skin, it doesn’t just move around on the top layer of skin like some other brands of lotion do.

So please do yourself a favor and tryout a few of Ava Anderson’s products. You will not regret it.
