Dream On Me Nest Portable Playard in Black with Carrybag an Shoulder Strap, Lightweight, Packable and Easy Setup Baby Playard, Breathable Mesh Sides and Soft Fabric - Comes with a Removable Padded Mat

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I saw the reviews mentioning difficulty locking the sides but I had the bassinet from this same brand and really liked it so I ordered this anyway. Then it arrived and I spent 15 minutes fighting with it trying to get the last side to lock and thought maybe the reviewers were right.Turns out if you lock all 4 sides and THEN flatten out the bottom, the sides lock quickly and easily. Pull up the bottom before unlocking the sides and it folds up easily as well.Now that I’ve figured it out I love it, it’s sturdy and spacious enough and I love the carry case. It’s easy to set up and put away.

Purchased this for our 6 month old grandson who is coming to visit us. Very well built and easy to assemble/disassemble. Bought the mattress and sheets to go with it.

This play yard is the perfect size for our twins' beds. A mini crib mattress fits perfectly. We love the all black look and the quality of the play yard is great. Since we don't use these as "play yards," we are unsure of the mat at the bottom and baby's sleep quality on it. It does seem a little thin and hard though. Since we had to buy two for our twins, the price was perfect too!

As a dad to a 1-year-old, finding the right playpen has been a game-changer for our daily routine. My little one is always on the move, and I needed something that could keep them safe while also being easy to set up and move around. After using the **Dream On Me Nest Portable Playard**, I have to say—it’s been a great addition to our home.First off, the **size is perfect**. It’s spacious enough for my baby to play comfortably, and there’s even enough room for a few toys. I love that the mesh sides give me a clear view from anywhere in the room, so I don’t feel like I have to hover over them all the time. The **zippered side door** is also a fun feature—my little one loves crawling in and out when we leave it open.Portability was a big factor for me, and this playpen **delivers on that promise**. It folds up easily and comes with a **shoulder strap bag**, which makes it simple to take along when we visit family or head to the park. At home, I move it between the living room and nursery without any hassle. It’s lightweight but still **feels sturdy**, which gives me peace of mind.If I had to point out a couple of small drawbacks, I’d say the **bottom padding could be softer**. It’s fine for playtime, but if my baby dozes off inside, I usually add a blanket for extra comfort. Also, while the zipper on the side door is convenient, I do wish it felt a bit **more durable**—only time will tell how well it holds up.Overall, I’m really happy with this playard. It’s **safe, stylish, and super convenient**, which is exactly what I was looking for. If you're a parent looking for a **portable and easy-to-use playpen**, I’d definitely recommend this one!

Very good size my son loves it! Very easy to put together as well didn’t need to read instructions. About the height of medium crate so not very tall. Seem sturdy and comfortable

As a childless person, I have virtually no experience with using baby equipment, so imagine my surprise when I had absolutely no trouble setting up or folding up this playpen. According to the reviews, it should have been almost impossible. There are pertinent papers in a pocket on the bottom of the insert, as well as instructions, that you don't really need, printed right on the bottom of the playpen itself. The buttons that release the sides are large and easy to feel through the padding. I can't speak to the sturdiness, as I haven't used it yet, but it seems to be very stable. I bought it to use with 2 small puppies, in order to keep them out of trouble, yet still be able to interact with my 2 current dogs, when I don't wish to utilize their crate. I am a little worried about the mesh material being strong enough for this purpose, but I don't expect to use this for very long or unsupervised, so maybe it will last as long as I need it to. I was a little disappointed that there is a very tiny hole in the mesh material near the top of one side, a manufacturing defect that I can easily fix with a needle and thread. Just from my initial inspection, and without having used it, I would say this is a very good playpen for the price, and would be comfortable using it with a very small child, if I had one.

Easy to put up and take down. Easy to move around. Also is nice to take around and use for convenience.

Love it! It’s such a safe pack n play, the babies can’t hit anything but fabric or mesh. No issue taking down
